1:39
Speaker 5: and I forget what I had it on, but it
1:42
Speaker 5: was not candy and no sorry, it wasn't canny. It
1:47
Speaker 5: was a night show on Candy and I was thinking, well,
1:49
Speaker 5: she's not going to listen, don't get a return it.
1:51
Speaker 9: What are you doing that?
1:52
Speaker 10: Like?
1:52

2:03
Speaker 11: She's like both both her and Peyton insisted we go
2:05
Speaker 11: see Michael theaters.
2:07
Speaker 5: But yeah, but Logan was like, I like, I like Michael, Like,
2:11
Speaker 5: how do you? And I felt better, like as like
2:13
Speaker 5: we talked about before, I felt bad as a fuck
2:15
Speaker 5: because I'm like, I didn't teach you about Michael Jackson.
2:18
Speaker 9: How did you learn? She's like, I love his music. Okay, pumpkintting.
2:21
Speaker 9: That is awesome. I love that.
2:24
Speaker 5: Jason and Jared in four Chip Sports Radio eleven fifty
2:27
Speaker 5: AM The Zone ninety three seven FM. I have held off.
2:31
Speaker 5: I think I did this last time too. We did
2:33
Speaker 5: not get into any NBA talk. We talked about Lebron
2:36
Speaker 5: but only in terms of how he and then also
2:41
Speaker 5: now Serena Williams. Tom Brady while he was still playing
2:44
Speaker 5: kind of defy the the the age that they are
2:48
Speaker 5: when it comes to being at the level that they
2:49
Speaker 5: are sports.
2:50
Speaker 11: Once the odometer changes from a three to a four,
2:53
Speaker 11: that pretty much there is, always has been it.
2:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they were able to continue going. And I
3:00
Speaker 5: think Serena and Venus will will at least win one
3:02
Speaker 5: round in Wimbledon. But we are at what has been
3:07
Speaker 5: what has typically kind of been a fizzling moment.
3:10
Speaker 9: But NBA free agent talk perked up.
3:14
Speaker 5: And I was watching Get Up this morning getting ready
3:16
Speaker 5: for work, and I can't say the WOJ bomb, but
3:19
Speaker 5: Shams comes on and Schamps excuse me, Sham's comes on
3:24
Speaker 5: and starts talking about Lebron and we you and I
3:28
Speaker 5: know it, says Lebron James, but we both know because
3:31
Speaker 5: Lebron hadn't talked to the Lakers since the end of
3:34
Speaker 5: the season. And he comes on and says, Lebron has
3:37
Speaker 5: kindly told them that they can go on and make
3:39
Speaker 5: their decisions but without considering him because he's not going
3:43
Speaker 5: to be playing for them this year. Lebron is an
3:45
Speaker 5: unrestricted free agent and has the ability to the opportunity
3:50
Speaker 5: now to sign wherever.
3:51
Speaker 9: He may want to.
3:53
Speaker 5: And reached out to our our good friend Chris Harrold,
3:58
Speaker 5: our resident Lakers, and I mean he's a Chris is
4:03
Speaker 5: upset because Lebron says that the decision that he makes
4:06
Speaker 5: will not be based on money. And if that's the case,
4:11
Speaker 5: Lebron has had the opportunity to do that for the
4:15
Speaker 5: last decade and has chosen to wait till this time
4:19
Speaker 5: in his life to say that it's not going to
4:22
Speaker 5: be about money. And I just think that is that
4:25
Speaker 5: is part of this. This is other than it just
4:26
Speaker 5: being a complete bombshell that he's he's saying, I don't
4:30
Speaker 5: want to be a Laker.
4:30
Speaker 11: No, I mean, it all starts with the fact this
4:33
Speaker 11: is the first time he allowed his contract to expire
4:36
Speaker 11: because he is always he has always done the two year,
4:41
Speaker 11: two year option and with one year to goo, will
4:44
Speaker 11: we'll restructure and whatever. So we were going into this
4:48
Speaker 11: offseason knowing that all the cars, I mean, all the
4:53
Speaker 11: options are on the table for Len and they are
4:56
Speaker 11: and and a lot of this we can I mean
4:59
Speaker 11: you can and deduce is driven from the fact of
5:04
Speaker 11: the whole Luka don uh luka doncin strade, which just
5:10
Speaker 11: as a sidebar now that we look back on that,
5:14
Speaker 11: my god, Dallas, I mean, you got nothing for a
5:17
Speaker 11: generational player, and true, I mean when we talk, when
5:20
Speaker 11: we talk in the context of, uh, you know, just
5:23
Speaker 11: look what Miami gave up to get Jiannis and Tokoupo. Yeah, Dallas,
5:29
Speaker 11: you ain't even got you eat. You don't even have
5:30
Speaker 11: the player that you claimed was the whole point you
5:33
Speaker 11: wanted to make the trade because it was win now mode.
5:35
Speaker 11: I mean, he's in Washington, and oh, by the way,
5:37
Speaker 11: we found out today he leave in Washington, despite the
5:40
Speaker 11: fact the earlier news that he might be heading west
5:43
Speaker 11: to meet up with his old buddy and fellow clutch.
5:46
Speaker 5: I think that so yes, that that part of it
5:49
Speaker 5: real quick was all of them are tickets. So Draymond
5:52
Speaker 5: Green opted out of his player option for this year
5:56
Speaker 5: to give Golden State some additional flexibility.
5:58
Speaker 9: I know you've got some some notes on that.
6:01
Speaker 5: And then this morning Lebron James tell the Lakers he's
6:06
Speaker 5: not going to be returning to the Lakers Anthony day Like,
6:10
Speaker 5: there were rumors that started coming out yesterday afternoon that
6:13
Speaker 5: the Golden State Warriors were making a play to also
6:17
Speaker 5: then trade for Anthony Davis.
6:20
Speaker 9: I think I.
6:21
Speaker 5: Really do believe that that was a clutch sports media
6:26
Speaker 5: leakage push to be able to do that, because two
6:30
Speaker 5: things happened when it came to that that showed that
6:31
Speaker 5: that was never really going to happen. One, the Golden
6:36
Speaker 5: Date Warriors resigned Christaps Perzingis, which pretty much said that
6:40
Speaker 5: they weren't going to be unless they were traded, basically
6:42
Speaker 5: trading them for Anthony Davis. That wasn't going to happen. Two, today,
6:45
Speaker 5: the Washington Wrigs came out and said we're not We're
6:48
Speaker 5: not entertaining offers for Anthony Davis. And so I think
6:51
Speaker 5: that's how that can prove how that was the the agents,
6:56
Speaker 5: the agent agency was trying to push narrative that both
7:01
Speaker 5: of those teams came out and said no, no, we're
7:03
Speaker 5: going and the Warriors are going after absolutely going after the.
7:07
Speaker 11: Running without question and and a lot of this. If
7:10
Speaker 11: you watched the USA men's basketball team in the twenty
7:14
Speaker 11: twenty four Paris Olympics, it was kind of a thing
7:16
Speaker 11: of beauty to watch Steph and Lebron play together, and
7:19
Speaker 11: so you kind of amazing, you kind of and you again,
7:22
Speaker 11: as we talk about the aging superstar, Lebron and Steph
7:27
Speaker 11: both recognize the fact that this is probably their last
7:31
Speaker 11: both of their last chances to make a run. Because
7:35
Speaker 11: even because all they are doing now is looking in
7:38
Speaker 11: their own conference and looking at these two young teams,
7:41
Speaker 11: one in Oklahoma City and the other in San Antonio,
7:43
Speaker 11: it's like, we've got one one last shot to get
7:46
Speaker 11: past these guys.
7:47
Speaker 7: Yep.
7:48
Speaker 11: And so it's like I texted you earlier. If this,
7:52
Speaker 11: if this deal ultimately happens, I'm calling the Golden State
7:54
Speaker 11: Warriors the Expendables five.
7:59
Speaker 9: If.
7:59
Speaker 11: For those who don't know what I'm talking about, the
8:01
Speaker 11: Expendables is a movie franchise that I believe originally started
8:05
Speaker 11: with Stilvester Saloon, Arnold Schwarzeneger, Bruce Willis, Jety, basically a
8:11
Speaker 11: bunch of the aging actually star from the eighties, from
8:16
Speaker 11: the eighties and nineties, I think Mel Gibson eventually got
8:19
Speaker 11: in Auntdolpholph Lunder and was in on it. Terry Crews.
8:23
Speaker 11: Because that's what you're going to be looking at in
8:25
Speaker 11: Golden State. Because here here is potentially you're starting five.
8:31
Speaker 11: If the Lebron James comes through deal comes through, you
8:34
Speaker 11: have Steph Curry, you have Draymond Green, you have Lebron James,
8:39
Speaker 11: you have Jimmy Butler.
8:40
Speaker 9: When he makes it back and Jimmy Butler's the young.
8:42
Speaker 11: Yeah, and yeah he's and go ahead. I'm waiting on Okay,
8:47
Speaker 11: I've been saving this in the holster because this is
8:50
Speaker 11: the joke. Twenty year NBA veteran Al Hopeford. Can you imagine?
8:57
Speaker 11: How can you imagine when you say Al Holford, you're
9:01
Speaker 11: older than Al Holford? And that's what Lebron James is
9:05
Speaker 11: going to be able to say if he gets to
9:06
Speaker 11: Golden State. But that is your starting five on the
9:08
Speaker 11: Golden State Warriors next year.
9:09
Speaker 9: Now they do have depth young depth.
9:16
Speaker 11: They do. I'm not saying this is going I'm not
9:22
Speaker 11: saying this is going to be the geriatric crew taking
9:26
Speaker 11: the court. It is. I mean, you're talking seasoned veterans
9:30
Speaker 11: with particular skill sets that could could make a run.
9:36
Speaker 11: I mean, weirder things have happened, but it's just it's
9:40
Speaker 11: it's just interesting to see that, you know, like you say,
9:44
Speaker 11: Lebron for the first time is basically acknowledging it's not
9:48
Speaker 11: about money, it's about winning a championship. Before because while
9:55
Speaker 11: I thought this was an interesting question and I forgot
9:57
Speaker 11: who posed it today, does Lebron get a statue in
10:04
Speaker 11: because all you have is the bubbles.
10:09
Speaker 9: Here's the thing.
10:11
Speaker 5: Had had today not gone down like it did and
10:14
Speaker 5: he came back again, I would say yes because of
10:18
Speaker 5: and he won a title. And I'm not saying that
10:23
Speaker 5: the the stats that he has because obviously got he
10:27
Speaker 5: became the leading scorer based on everything that he's been done,
10:31
Speaker 5: but all of all of the the records that he
10:36
Speaker 5: has broken were done in a Lakers jersey, and so
10:40
Speaker 5: had today not happened the way it did and he
10:43
Speaker 5: retired at it as a Laker, I think he would
10:46
Speaker 5: get a statue. I don't think that they can because
10:48
Speaker 5: he all of again, all of those records were broken
10:52
Speaker 5: wearing a Lakers jersey. So yeah, I think they would
10:54
Speaker 5: give him a statue. Not today, he how and I
10:58
Speaker 5: think it's how this this, this is, this is not
11:02
Speaker 5: the decision. This is not him him going on TV
11:06
Speaker 5: and saying I'm taking my talents to Miami. But for
11:11
Speaker 5: Lakers and Lakers fans, for him to just release a
11:15
Speaker 5: statement saying, y'all can make your decisions.
11:19
Speaker 9: I'm going elsewhere and then to drop.
11:21
Speaker 5: The statement of wherever I go is going to be
11:24
Speaker 5: not going to be about money, absolutely not does do
11:28
Speaker 5: the Laker, like the the bus family isn't in control anymore,
11:31
Speaker 5: but like they're the the current Lakers ownership aren't going
11:35
Speaker 5: to stand for that either.
11:36
Speaker 11: No, no, not at all.
11:37
Speaker 5: And so I think if if it is about winning,
11:42
Speaker 5: I think that is why you are also hearing again
11:45
Speaker 5: Golden State is the the big, big news fish that
11:50
Speaker 5: is out there. I think, the sneaky fish that's out there.
11:53
Speaker 5: And if pat Riley can pull this off and get
11:57
Speaker 5: Lebron James into Miami. But here's the thing, what do
12:04
Speaker 5: you do with Joanna Santa Tecumpo, Lebron James, and Bam
12:08
Speaker 5: out of Bayou? That is a great front court, But
12:12
Speaker 5: what what else is there?
12:16
Speaker 9: I mean, because they don't have any.
12:17
Speaker 11: Shoes, they just well, I was gonna say, if you're Miami,
12:21
Speaker 11: if you're Miami, you build on the fact that you have.
12:26
Speaker 11: You are one of the maybe two teams in the
12:29
Speaker 11: entire NBA that has been able to develop talent in house,
12:33
Speaker 11: and you have a track record of doing that. And
12:35
Speaker 11: so part of that is hoping you do that. Part
12:37
Speaker 11: of that is also seeing how some of these other
12:40
Speaker 11: pieces fall into place. You're not gonna be able to
12:43
Speaker 11: buy all accounts, You're not gonna be able to keep
12:44
Speaker 11: Norman Powell. No, so you're gonna you're gonna have to
12:46
Speaker 11: ship him away. You might be able to restructure Andrew Wiggins.
12:49
Speaker 11: I think for one year, maybe two years, you could
12:54
Speaker 11: potentially be part of a deal that could see uh
13:02
Speaker 11: with the Detroit Pistons getting helped me out here?
13:07
Speaker 9: Not do you what is his name?
13:09
Speaker 6: I do?
13:09
Speaker 9: I'm wanted to say, do it, but yeah, I know
13:11
Speaker 9: it's yes.
13:12
Speaker 11: Uh. Anyway that there are certain certain things that can
13:16
Speaker 11: still come down the pie because obviously once free, once
13:20
Speaker 11: all of this really starts getting up and going, you're
13:23
Speaker 11: gonna have a number of teams that are picking up
13:26
Speaker 11: or picking up contracts simply because they plan on moving them.
13:30
Speaker 11: You know, the big news that came out today besides
13:34
Speaker 11: Kawhi Leonard, which we will get into, uh, is the
13:38
Speaker 11: Jahn Morant trade to Portland. Yes, And it's crazy to
13:44
Speaker 11: think about the fact that what three years ago, he
13:48
Speaker 11: was being touted as the future of the NBA because
13:51
Speaker 11: he was an exciting offensive player and yeah, you know
13:56
Speaker 11: he for a while he was able to to to
14:00
Speaker 11: make the basket, you know, make make the shots up
14:02
Speaker 11: by the basket. But his perimeter shooting has just never
14:06
Speaker 11: really developed, and the rest of his game hasn't really
14:09
Speaker 11: come to pass. And so Memphis has been trying to
14:11
Speaker 11: get rid of him for what like a year, year
14:13
Speaker 11: and a half night.
14:13
Speaker 9: Oh, they they had to.
14:15
Speaker 11: And they had to. You got a twenty six year
14:19
Speaker 11: old potential star in Portland and you did not have
14:24
Speaker 11: to give up any draft capital. Nope, that is unhurt.
14:29
Speaker 11: To put this in perspective, I mean, I guess to
14:31
Speaker 11: give this an analogy, you just found a movie. You
14:35
Speaker 11: just found a Blu ray copy of a I don't
14:39
Speaker 11: want to say Avengers End Game because that's gonna put
14:41
Speaker 11: jaw Moran way too high. Uh, let's say you found
14:45
Speaker 11: a Blu ray copy of I We'll call it Doctor
14:49
Speaker 11: Strange in the dollar bin at a dollar general. I mean,
14:55
Speaker 11: you got a deep discount on a un potential star
14:58
Speaker 11: that you might be able to turn and into something.
15:00
Speaker 11: I mean, he again, he's only twenty six years old,
15:03
Speaker 11: so theoretically he's about three to four years away from
15:06
Speaker 11: hitting his what you would typically see as your peak
15:09
Speaker 11: in your NBA career. But for Memphis, they got some
15:15
Speaker 11: players that aren't gonna make them a winner. But they're
15:18
Speaker 11: gonna they're gonna come in handy when the trade deadline
15:21
Speaker 11: comes up in February, because these are gonna be some
15:23
Speaker 11: names that some teams are gonna have some injuries and
15:26
Speaker 11: be like, hey, I need a solid number three, right
15:28
Speaker 11: and Memphis is gonna be right there ready and pulling.
15:32
Speaker 5: It all off, because yeah, and that's just I And
15:34
Speaker 5: so I don't know, going back to Lebron and Lebron
15:38
Speaker 5: for a second before we move on over to Kawhi
15:41
Speaker 5: and what has happened over there and how the numbers
15:44
Speaker 5: will but like you, you mentioned how whether it's going
15:49
Speaker 5: to be Golden State or whether it's going to be
15:53
Speaker 5: Miami for him, neither of them actually have enough caps
16:00
Speaker 5: space to be able to bring Lebron in, right unless
16:03
Speaker 5: like and I don't know if we can look at
16:06
Speaker 5: the CB, like can he take less than the mid
16:09
Speaker 5: level EXCEPTIONEP? And so that yeah, that's and that's where
16:12
Speaker 5: I was thinking, like you, the mid level exception is
16:15
Speaker 5: what you can pay a veteran player, and through the
16:19
Speaker 5: CV it's fifteen basically fifteen point three million, and but
16:23
Speaker 5: that not only like that's the minimum, but that's what
16:25
Speaker 5: they have to like you it's called the minimum, but
16:28
Speaker 5: like that's what they have to, Like, he can't negotiate
16:31
Speaker 5: less than that, and so and neither team right.
16:33
Speaker 11: Now, Yeah, neither neither. Yeah, neither Golden State or Miami
16:39
Speaker 11: Tip technically have enough space in the mL e U
16:43
Speaker 11: area to bring in a Lebron, and especially if they're
16:46
Speaker 11: trying to bring in someone else, because Miami is going
16:48
Speaker 11: to need additional pieces, like you pointed.
16:50
Speaker 9: Out, they're gonna need everything.
16:52
Speaker 11: They're gonna need everything. But again, that's what kind of
16:59
Speaker 11: makes the next few days extraordinarily interesting because as as
17:05
Speaker 11: some of these other teams start moving some pieces around
17:07
Speaker 11: and you start trying to get some of these deadweight
17:09
Speaker 11: contracts off your books and shifting some of that money.
17:15
Speaker 11: Draymond posted a picture with the bat signal because when
17:19
Speaker 11: his podcast drops to day, apparently he's gonna have some news,
17:22
Speaker 11: and I've been refreshing Twitter and so far I don't
17:25
Speaker 11: think it's come up, so not quite sure what that
17:29
Speaker 11: might be. That that'll be interesting to find out. I
17:31
Speaker 11: highly doubt Draymond's gonna be the one to break the
17:35
Speaker 11: news on Lebron. I'm pretty sure he'll control that narrative
17:39
Speaker 11: no matter what unless Draymond's gonna make an announcement that
17:44
Speaker 11: just surprises us all that maybe involves him not returning
17:47
Speaker 11: to Golden State. We'll find out about that before we
17:52
Speaker 11: talk about Kawhi. Do you just does it just kind
17:57
Speaker 11: of keep like catching you off guard anytime they talk
17:59
Speaker 11: about Isaiah Joe and the Pistons, Like, no that I
18:03
Speaker 11: want to say isa Thomas. No, it's Isaiah Joe is
18:06
Speaker 11: the player's actual name. It just doesn't sound right if
18:10
Speaker 11: you say Isaiah and Detroit Pistons. It's got to have
18:12
Speaker 11: a Thomas after it. I'm sorry. All right, So one.
18:15
Speaker 5: Last thing, and I'm going to like, but I'm looking
18:17
Speaker 5: at ESPN is showing all the things, like all Lebron
18:20
Speaker 5: highlights right now saying that he's going on so but
18:23
Speaker 5: like also the other side of that is, look, I
18:27
Speaker 5: don't know when they're going to announce it. What made
18:28
Speaker 5: me think of this is because it will It won't
18:30
Speaker 5: be Draymond that's going to make the announcement. But also
18:32
Speaker 5: Lebron doesn't do this without knowing what his next step is.
18:36
Speaker 9: Correct, and so whether it is.
18:40
Speaker 5: Miami or Golden State, and however they figure it out,
18:43
Speaker 5: like Lebron isn't going to sit as an unrestricted free
18:47
Speaker 5: agent longer?
18:48
Speaker 9: Like there's a plan, yes, and and.
18:53
Speaker 11: You would, you know, if you want to read into
18:57
Speaker 11: some of the tea leaves and Pat Riley had his ceremony,
19:04
Speaker 11: I think a few weeks ago. Lebron was there, and
19:09
Speaker 11: you know, for the longest time, all we heard was
19:12
Speaker 11: there was bad blood about the way Lebron. Lebron had
19:15
Speaker 11: told Pat that he would meet him in Las Vegas
19:18
Speaker 11: and basically stiff armed him. And that's when he announced
19:22
Speaker 11: that he was going to the Lakers or or was
19:26
Speaker 11: that the Cleveland one of.
19:28
Speaker 9: The decisions when he went back to Cleveland.
19:30
Speaker 11: When he went back to Cleveland, Pool had no idea. Yeah,
19:35
Speaker 11: So all we had heard for a good almost a
19:37
Speaker 11: decade was there was still a lot of ill will
19:41
Speaker 11: between the two of them. But apparently they were a
19:43
Speaker 11: very buddy buddy at that ceremony. And you know Pat,
19:49
Speaker 11: Pat has a way of doing things he does, and
19:52
Speaker 11: you know, they were kind of going over the timeline,
19:54
Speaker 11: you know, going all the way back to when he
19:56
Speaker 11: brought Alonzo morning to the heat and then when he
19:59
Speaker 11: was able to to get Lebron and Bosh to come
20:03
Speaker 11: and then the Jimmy Butler it's about a seven to
20:05
Speaker 11: nine year timeframe, and we're around that seven year time
20:10
Speaker 11: frame from the Jimmy Butler experiment, which I heard a
20:14
Speaker 11: joke today, it's like, bring Jimmy Butler back, because what
20:18
Speaker 11: was the missing piece when Jimmy was here? We needed
20:21
Speaker 11: a bit, We needed a big and now you've got
20:23
Speaker 11: a big so we'll see. All right, So let's talk
20:26
Speaker 11: about the Kawhi of it, all right, all right, So
20:33
Speaker 11: there's two sides to this story. First is, if you've
20:39
Speaker 11: listened to Pablo Torre, finds out he's been detailing how
20:45
Speaker 11: through a bankruptcy filing by a entity known as not
20:52
Speaker 11: a Spy a Spire. Sorry, I also do business with
20:57
Speaker 11: a company called the Spire, so I wanted to make
20:58
Speaker 11: sure it wasn't confusing the two Aspire, which was all
21:03
Speaker 11: about green you know, green energy and green so forth
21:08
Speaker 11: and so on, where Kawhi was supposed to be a
21:12
Speaker 11: paid spokesperson but never did an ad, never did anything
21:16
Speaker 11: for this entity, but yet was set to be paid
21:22
Speaker 11: in the neighborhood I believe twenty eight million dollars. He
21:25
Speaker 11: was going to be the He wasn't just going to
21:27
Speaker 11: be the single highest paid spokesperson for this company. If
21:30
Speaker 11: you took all the other celebrity endorsements combined, he would
21:35
Speaker 11: still be higher. And of course this company goes bankrupt
21:40
Speaker 11: and so he becomes one of the creditors to the company. Well,
21:45
Speaker 11: because all these bankruptcy filings are of public record, it
21:50
Speaker 11: is shown that, you know, there seems to be something
21:54
Speaker 11: odd here. Why is Kawhi Leonard being paid so much
21:57
Speaker 11: for a company he never did anything any work for.
21:59
Speaker 11: And then some of the whistleblowers start coming out, and
22:02
Speaker 11: so it starts to look like because the Ties Aspire
22:04
Speaker 11: has to Steve Balmer and Uncle Dennis, who is a
22:08
Speaker 11: one percent owner of the Clippers, that this might have
22:13
Speaker 11: been a way for the Clippers to circumvent the salary
22:17
Speaker 11: cap for Kawhi Leonard to get him out of Toronto. Well,
22:20
Speaker 11: this story has gone into such detail it ended up
22:24
Speaker 11: winning a pull of Surprise, among any many other things.
22:27
Speaker 11: And so now Adam Silver and the NBA are having
22:30
Speaker 11: to investigate, and supposedly a ruling is supposed to be
22:33
Speaker 11: coming out, and you would expect a ruling to come
22:35
Speaker 11: out before the end of the NBA year because punishments
22:39
Speaker 11: need to be handed down. Now, Kawhi is going to
22:41
Speaker 11: face no punishments because Article thirteen of the CBA limits
22:45
Speaker 11: what how limits what you can punish a player for
22:48
Speaker 11: and buy how much he may be fined. He will
22:51
Speaker 11: not have to return the money, The contract will not
22:53
Speaker 11: be voided. He will not have to miss any games
22:56
Speaker 11: because the CBA does not allow for any of that.
23:00
Speaker 5: But yes, because the onus on that is always on
23:03
Speaker 5: the team and their management when it comes to player
23:06
Speaker 5: contracts andthing like that, because it happened with Minnesota years
23:10
Speaker 5: ago and Joe I'm drawing a blank on his name,
23:14
Speaker 5: but anyway, so yeah, the onus is always on the
23:16
Speaker 5: team and their management. It never comes back to the player, right.
23:20
Speaker 11: Well anyway, So if for those who don't remember, Kawhi
23:24
Speaker 11: won an NBA Championship with the Toronto Raptors and then
23:27
Speaker 11: subsequently left and all expectations were he was going to
23:30
Speaker 11: end up on the Los Angeles Slackers, but instead he
23:34
Speaker 11: ended up on the other team in LA and the Clippers. Well,
23:39
Speaker 11: now you've had all of this go down, and the
23:43
Speaker 11: Clippers have announced that they are not going to extend
23:48
Speaker 11: his contract. Right, so now it looks like he's heading
23:51
Speaker 11: back to Toronto. All reports are this deal is all but
23:54
Speaker 11: final lives and once he gets Toronto, Toronto is automatically
23:59
Speaker 11: or instantly going to extend his contract to a two
24:01
Speaker 11: year deal. What's interesting about this when I was pointing
24:04
Speaker 11: this out to Jason, was the owner of the Raptors
24:08
Speaker 11: is in charge of the Board of Governors for the NBA.
24:11
Speaker 11: So in theory, if there is something about to come
24:15
Speaker 11: down on the ruling on this whole Aspire investigation that
24:18
Speaker 11: the NBA has been conducting, he is, he is aware
24:21
Speaker 11: of it, and he is still bringing Kawhi to Toronto. Yes,
24:29
Speaker 11: despite the fact Toronto was the team Kawhi spurred spurned
24:33
Speaker 11: when he left to go to la This was also
24:37
Speaker 11: going to give the Clippers some draft capital as a
24:40
Speaker 11: part of this deal. If it ends up going through,
24:44
Speaker 11: that's going to be kind of the interesting part because
24:46
Speaker 11: it's going to be interesting to see what, if any
24:49
Speaker 11: punishment the league hands down. And also joking with Jason
24:53
Speaker 11: in our pre show meeting, it's not going to shock
24:55
Speaker 11: me one bit that this is a five o'clock Friday
24:58
Speaker 11: news dump. They they do not want this news polluting
25:03
Speaker 11: anything going on with the NBA, right now because other
25:07
Speaker 11: than the World Cup, NBA free agency is dominating the
25:11
Speaker 11: sports discussion, probably more so than it has I would say,
25:17
Speaker 11: what since the since Lebron going to LA it definitely.
25:23
Speaker 11: I mean while we had some activity last year, you
25:26
Speaker 11: didn't have you didn't have some of these big names
25:28
Speaker 11: like you.
25:28
Speaker 5: Well, I think this year it's it's because of the names,
25:31
Speaker 5: and that's kind of what is what has led it
25:35
Speaker 5: to be, Like, yeah, breaking news across multiple networks and
25:40
Speaker 5: multiple streams is because of who it is and who
25:44
Speaker 5: they are compared to, because I think there's been typically
25:48
Speaker 5: a lot more volume on other days or in other years.
25:51
Speaker 5: This is just I mean, Lebron, James, Kwie Leonard to
25:54
Speaker 5: have still two of the biggest.
25:56
Speaker 9: Names, yeah in the league.
25:57
Speaker 11: Think think about this, You have potential Jannas Anon Kopo,
26:02
Speaker 11: Lebron James, Jalen Brown. Yeah, we haven't even talked about
26:07
Speaker 11: him yet, Kawhi Lemonar, Kawhi Leonard. I mean those are
26:12
Speaker 11: four generational names and they are all in the mix
26:17
Speaker 11: right now.
26:17
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you don't see that very often or ever when
26:21
Speaker 5: it comes to that. Gonna take a break, come back

31:32
Speaker 5: Yep, Hip Howard sports Talk breaking all the copyright laws
31:37
Speaker 5: here when Jason and Jared are in Sports Radio eleven
31:39
Speaker 5: fifty AM, his own ninety three seven FM.
31:43
Speaker 9: NBA Free Agency and this is like just dominated the TV.
31:46
Speaker 5: Obviously, Lebron has said he's not going back to the Lakers.
31:50
Speaker 5: Nobody knows where Kawhi Leonard is going to be, but
31:53
Speaker 5: he's not going to be a Clipper. Whether he's whether
31:57
Speaker 5: they're gonna make Steve Bomber go and play baseball for
31:59
Speaker 5: two years to amends to pay for his sins or.
32:04
Speaker 11: And you know, ultimately just to kind of put a
32:06
Speaker 11: bow on that. I don't think they're gonna punish Bomber
32:09
Speaker 11: all that much because you need you need someone, You
32:14
Speaker 11: need an owner in this league who's willing to spend money.
32:17
Speaker 11: Because the Portland owner is like not allowing the travel
32:23
Speaker 11: squad or the scrubs to travel with team and like
32:26
Speaker 11: you're checking out before noon and no, you know none
32:30
Speaker 11: of that. And then James Dolan, who just won a championship,
32:37
Speaker 11: is now basically gonna like, well, I want I want
32:40
Speaker 11: you your championships so all you folks can die happy,
32:43
Speaker 11: but I'm not gonna spend any more money than what.
32:45
Speaker 9: I have to.
32:46
Speaker 14: It is like my god, d said that like before
32:50
Speaker 14: the parade, like they hadn't even had the parade yet
32:53
Speaker 14: he's already like, I'm not spending it more money.
32:56
Speaker 11: Dude, you have been so unpopular for so long, you
33:00
Speaker 11: can ride a wave of popularity and could probably if
33:04
Speaker 11: do something. And what does he do now? I'm just
33:07
Speaker 11: gonna be in.
33:07
Speaker 9: If he could.
33:09
Speaker 5: Just if if Jimmy Dollan could, and they said the
33:11
Speaker 5: best time for the New York Knicks. And what has
33:14
Speaker 5: led to their rise and their success and through that
33:19
Speaker 5: there continued rise and their popularity has been because Jimmy
33:22
Speaker 5: Dolan had other things, like he had a band that
33:24
Speaker 5: he was doing, like he wasn't there this yeah, all
33:28
Speaker 5: this other stuff that he was doing that he was
33:30
Speaker 5: not paying attention to the Knicks and that's what led
33:32
Speaker 5: to this, and if he could sit down and just
33:35
Speaker 5: shut up somewhere and just let the people that he
33:38
Speaker 5: has put in charge do the right thing, the Knicks
33:40
Speaker 5: would continue to be a viable championship level franchise. I'm
33:46
Speaker 5: going to get right to the sit down and shut
33:48
Speaker 5: up somewhere in a moment, but i want to talk
33:51
Speaker 5: about the the real quick, the Jalen Brown situations in Boston,
33:58
Speaker 5: because again you mentioned the honest into the compo transaction.
34:02
Speaker 9: In any other in any of the year, that's still.
34:03
Speaker 5: The biggest transaction that happens until again Lebron decided that
34:08
Speaker 5: we he's he's going to leave the Lakers, so Janni
34:10
Speaker 5: sent to Kompo with Is traded to Miami. But the
34:16
Speaker 5: two landing spots that he said he would go to,
34:19
Speaker 5: and the two teams that were putting up the most
34:23
Speaker 5: the the the most head drive, ye, the heaviest, heaviest
34:27
Speaker 5: package during in return where Boston and Miami obviously Miami wins.
34:33
Speaker 5: Boston put up Jalen Brown, well, who was All NBA
34:40
Speaker 5: First Team this year.
34:41
Speaker 11: Go ahead, sorry, let's take a step back, because what
34:44
Speaker 11: you have to remember is going into that weekend, the
34:49
Speaker 11: word coming out of Boston was Jalen Brown is not
34:53
Speaker 11: being discussed as a part of any trade package. And
34:58
Speaker 11: then but so that's what was kind of that's what
35:01
Speaker 11: was being said, but you were still hearing enough from
35:04
Speaker 11: certain people it was like, no, he very well might
35:08
Speaker 11: be part.
35:09
Speaker 5: Of it, because there's no way possible for if if
35:12
Speaker 5: they were, if the Celtics were going to make a legitimate,
35:18
Speaker 5: real push for Yiannis, there is nothing else that they
35:22
Speaker 5: could have put on the table that did not because
35:24
Speaker 5: they didn't have they didn't have the the the draft
35:27
Speaker 5: assets that Miami didn't. There was nothing that they can
35:31
Speaker 5: put on the table. And that's what that I don't
35:32
Speaker 5: know if if people, the sources or the reporters were
35:37
Speaker 5: saying that they were hearing stuff or they're just looking
35:40
Speaker 5: at what Boston had and they know they're not getting
35:45
Speaker 5: rid of Jayleen Brown. I mean, they're getting rid of
35:46
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum. So the only thing that made any sense
35:50
Speaker 5: was for it to be just so they could say
35:51
Speaker 5: that all all year long, which you're right, they were
35:54
Speaker 5: not saying that Jalen Brown. But when you just take
35:57
Speaker 5: a step back and look at it.
35:58
Speaker 7: Who.
36:00
Speaker 11: I mean, it was inevitable I'm sure enough, so Jalen
36:05
Speaker 11: Jalen Brown does these twitch streams. Sure, I'm not on them.
36:12
Speaker 11: I hear what you know, and so he's he's basically
36:16
Speaker 11: been putting out the narrative of I mean, he did
36:19
Speaker 11: say one of the craziest things at the end of
36:21
Speaker 11: the season, after they got swept by the Philadelphia Sixers,
36:25
Speaker 11: which they were expected to beat handedly was this was
36:29
Speaker 11: his favorite year ever, which is kind of odd speaking,
36:34
Speaker 11: you would think his favorite year was the year they
36:35
Speaker 11: won the NBA Championship and he was NBA Finals MVP,
36:39
Speaker 11: But no, it was this year. And a lot of
36:41
Speaker 11: people were reading in the tea leaves of well, that's
36:43
Speaker 11: because this was largely his team for the year as
36:45
Speaker 11: Jayson Tatum was coming back from his injury, which uh
36:50
Speaker 11: just kind of jokingly, you kind of have the feeling
36:53
Speaker 11: that maybe Jalen Brown's leaving weights out in the weight
36:56
Speaker 11: room when Jason Tatum's walking by. Maybe I don't know anyway,
37:02
Speaker 11: but you kind of have to you kind of look
37:04
Speaker 11: at the way Jalen Brown has been treated over the years.
37:07
Speaker 11: I mean, we talked about the twenty twenty four US
37:11
Speaker 11: men's UH men's basketball. Yeah, you know, Uh, they who
37:18
Speaker 11: is it that got hurt? And they needed they needed
37:20
Speaker 11: to fill in why Kawi Kawhi gets hurt. Jalen Brown
37:26
Speaker 11: just won an NBA championship, but they didn't they didn't
37:30
Speaker 11: ask him and so and he's all. Anytime Boston has
37:34
Speaker 11: been in play for someone, he his name keeps getting
37:37
Speaker 11: brought up, and so there is a level of disrespect there. Well,
37:43
Speaker 11: this whole Yiannis situation was so big that you almost
37:49
Speaker 11: have to feel like Boston has to move him now
37:53
Speaker 11: because you you just kind of dread what next year
37:57
Speaker 11: might be with a potentially scruntled Jalen Brown and Jason
38:02
Speaker 11: Tantum back on the court, and what that dynamic is
38:04
Speaker 11: going to look like. The one caveat to all this
38:10
Speaker 11: is going to be his contract because he will be
38:12
Speaker 11: up for an extension. So wherever he goes, that team
38:15
Speaker 11: is going to have to either look at the potential
38:17
Speaker 11: of extending his contract or being able to move or
38:21
Speaker 11: move him as a piece. And I think that's one
38:23
Speaker 11: of the reasons why Milwaukee opted not to go with Boston,
38:27
Speaker 11: because if he was part of that deal, they're going
38:30
Speaker 11: to be in the same situation they're in with Giannis.
38:33
Speaker 11: A year from now, You're you're trying to find somewhere
38:36
Speaker 11: to send this player and you may not be able
38:38
Speaker 11: to move that and then you're going to be forced
38:39
Speaker 11: to extend him. So, I mean, where do you kind
38:45
Speaker 11: of sit on the disrespect versus just this is the
38:51
Speaker 11: business side of the way Jalen Brown's being been handled
38:56
Speaker 11: in this situation.
38:57
Speaker 5: I think it's I understand where Jalen Brown is is
39:03
Speaker 5: in his feelings some because if especially after this year,
39:08
Speaker 5: you when Jason Tatum goes down last year, everybody outside of.
39:15
Speaker 11: In Boston gets rid of a number of pieces.
39:18
Speaker 5: Yes, everybody outside of Jalen Brown thought that this year
39:22
Speaker 5: for the Celtics was just going to be a what
39:24
Speaker 5: like they're just just chalk it off. Is like every
39:28
Speaker 5: people are saying gap year or whatever you want to say,
39:31
Speaker 5: This wasn't it. And he gets that team to the
39:34
Speaker 5: number two seed in the East basically by himself. Yes,
39:40
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum came back at the NBC, but that was
39:42
Speaker 5: they were already the number two seed by the time
39:43
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum went.
39:44
Speaker 9: Back, and you you're like, what it's that?
39:49
Speaker 5: What else do I kind of have to do for
39:51
Speaker 5: y'all to want me to like, what, like how like
39:55
Speaker 5: I was the Finals MVP, not Jason Tatum this year.
40:00
Speaker 9: I was the I've had.
40:01
Speaker 5: He has just as many uh all NBA first teams
40:05
Speaker 5: as Jason Tatum does. He is doing like, but yet
40:09
Speaker 5: I'm the one that y'all are still whether it's whether
40:12
Speaker 5: the rumors out there that that people are saying it,
40:14
Speaker 5: or like I said, maybe the people are just looking
40:16
Speaker 5: at what is available for them to send it.
40:19
Speaker 9: He's always the one that's on the trade table.
40:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, always, and so it's like, yeah, part of me
40:24
Speaker 5: is like, what what else am I gonna do? I've
40:26
Speaker 5: heard people also say because he's up for an extension
40:31
Speaker 5: that could pay him seventy million dollars a year, and
40:35
Speaker 5: that would make me feel a whole lot better about
40:37
Speaker 5: what Boston thinks about me if that were the case,
40:40
Speaker 5: if they if they do, if they if they don't
40:42
Speaker 5: trade him, because they're saying they're they're they're taking they're
40:46
Speaker 5: taking offers for it. If it comes back, and like,
40:49
Speaker 5: you know what, we can find something that would give
40:51
Speaker 5: us fair value, they better get they better extend him.
40:57
Speaker 9: Otherwise what Yeah, I a thousand on the what are
41:01
Speaker 9: we doing? People?
41:04
Speaker 11: A lot of a lot of has been made of
41:07
Speaker 11: how certain organizations handle these situations, you know, especially at
41:12
Speaker 11: the forefront. I heard, you know, when Steve Kerr was
41:17
Speaker 11: director of operations for the Phoenix Suns, like he he
41:20
Speaker 11: would hold meetings with the players and say, you know,
41:23
Speaker 11: look this, we want this to be family blah blah
41:25
Speaker 11: blah blah. But you got to understand this is also
41:27
Speaker 11: a business.
41:29
Speaker 9: There's a business out.
41:29
Speaker 11: Of it, and be straightforward about it. And it just
41:32
Speaker 11: really seems like Boston, especially since the new ownership took
41:37
Speaker 11: over what two years ago. Yes, there's there's just no
41:45
Speaker 11: there's no effort to be straightforward with with the players.
41:49
Speaker 11: You definitely don't expect them to be straightforward with the media.
41:52
Speaker 5: I mean, oh no came out and said that Jalen
41:55
Speaker 5: Brown is is a Celtic.
41:57
Speaker 11: Yeah. By all accounts, the reports trying to deny Jalen
42:01
Speaker 11: Brown was part of any trade package was coming directly
42:04
Speaker 11: from the Boston front office. So I mean it to me,
42:12
Speaker 11: once you get past the Kawhi of it all and
42:16
Speaker 11: potentially the lebron of it all, you're gonna see the
42:19
Speaker 11: Jaylen Brown.
42:20
Speaker 9: News, something's gonna have to come of it.
42:22
Speaker 11: And I mean supposely, I think I saw something where
42:26
Speaker 11: you could see Jalen Brown in Portland and Drew Holiday
42:30
Speaker 11: back in Boston, which is crazy to think about. But
42:34
Speaker 11: then again, look at where Julius Randall's heading back to
42:37
Speaker 11: after being traded away. So again that's this is we
42:43
Speaker 11: love that. So much of what is interesting about sports
42:47
Speaker 11: is the transaction, the way and everything.
42:49
Speaker 9: About it and sports.
42:51
Speaker 11: And I mean, I would love to be able to
42:54
Speaker 11: detail the CBA and how how the different aprons and
42:59
Speaker 11: levels offel and how that will affect trade trade capabilities
43:03
Speaker 11: of various teams, but this isn't my full time job,
43:06
Speaker 11: so I don't have the time to learn all that,
43:08
Speaker 11: So I really do rely on on the guys who
43:11
Speaker 11: have done an exceptional job on doing that. But man,
43:14
Speaker 11: especially this off season, there is so much to try
43:18
Speaker 11: and to navigate around some of these levels, because especially
43:22
Speaker 11: when you hit the second apron, that's when it's I
43:25
Speaker 11: think now it is more it's even more punitive on
43:27
Speaker 11: teams than it has been in previous year.
43:29
Speaker 5: Yepes back in just a second to wrap up today,

Speaker 11: I was about to say, I'm meant to tell you
48:32
Speaker 11: can you cure? Can you queue up our breaking news sounder?
48:40
Speaker 11: Since we were talking about James Dolan Masson Square Garden
48:44
Speaker 11: report Taylor Swift is building a huge castle and garden
48:47
Speaker 11: inside MSG for wedding celebration. This might be a bad
48:52
Speaker 11: idea as the last time a castle was in the garden,
48:54
Speaker 11: his team collapsed in the fourth quarter. Wait was that
49:03
Speaker 11: this say like that it's it's two separate?
49:08
Speaker 9: I was like, wait a minute, like is this like,
49:10
Speaker 9: is she they're getting married?
49:11
Speaker 11: At that is the report? There there have been truck
49:15
Speaker 11: deliveries marked garden party and the word. The rumor is
49:22
Speaker 11: she and Travis are getting married at MSG this weekend.
49:27
Speaker 6: Who what?
49:29
Speaker 11: There's no windows? That's why?
49:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, I was like, who whatever thing to get married,
49:38
Speaker 5: but who also could afford to get married at MSG.
49:44
Speaker 5: I said a little bit earlier that I would get
49:47
Speaker 5: back to the how it's good when people just gut
49:51
Speaker 5: need to go sit down somewhere and not do anything.
49:55
Speaker 5: And we were talking about James Dolon speaking of Madison
49:57
Speaker 5: Square Garden got a report just a little bit of
50:00
Speaker 5: that Soresby, which is for Brandon Brendan Soresby has decided, well,
50:08
Speaker 5: he sued the n C double A in one he
50:10
Speaker 5: has decided that he will not sue the the n
50:15
Speaker 5: f L too what to basically force his eligibility this
50:21
Speaker 5: year and to to basically force them to put on
50:26
Speaker 5: supplemental draft and so.
50:27
Speaker 11: For which they have not held for what two or
50:30
Speaker 11: three years? And he was the only player to put
50:32
Speaker 11: in a request for you.
50:34
Speaker 5: And so it's it's funny to me, and it goes
50:37
Speaker 5: back to something you and I have talked about multiple
50:39
Speaker 5: times of how toothless the n C double A is
50:45
Speaker 5: because someone finally got Brendan Soresby and Brandon Soresby's ears
50:51
Speaker 5: and realize you are not going to win a case
50:54
Speaker 5: against the NFL. I don't care if it was I
51:00
Speaker 5: don't care if you did file it in in Lubbock.
51:03
Speaker 11: And you had outside of lubb ITTT County, and I
51:09
Speaker 11: don't even think you would you get one hundred percent
51:11
Speaker 11: consensus on Tech alumni. He has lost this in the
51:18
Speaker 11: court of public opinion because again the cardinal sin above
51:24
Speaker 11: all others, because the NFL has allowed some truly despicable
51:29
Speaker 11: people one thousand two to play. And they came out
51:34
Speaker 11: and said, it is a privilege to play in this league,
51:37
Speaker 11: and we do not think you take Well, see a
51:42
Speaker 11: hel helicopter just went down, or two helicopters are going
51:46
Speaker 11: down Highway six fully wrapped. Sorry, folks, kind of look
51:50
Speaker 11: like a wolf. Yeah, anyway, I know what we're playing
51:54
Speaker 11: on the outro tomorrow. But no, they they the NFL,
51:59
Speaker 11: the NFL attorneys out said we don't have to allow
52:02
Speaker 11: you to play this. This is a private organization. This
52:07
Speaker 11: is not this is not a public entity, and we
52:10
Speaker 11: don't think that you carry carry the level of sportsmanship
52:14
Speaker 11: that is worthy to play in our league. Man, those
52:16
Speaker 11: are some damning words to come down on your college
52:21
Speaker 11: head when you think you've been able to score a
52:25
Speaker 11: big victory, like you say, over the toothless and spineless NCAA,
52:28
Speaker 11: which again, they could have solved this problem years and
52:32
Speaker 11: years ago, but they just kicked the can down the road.
52:35
Speaker 5: And here's and why I talk about sitting down and
52:38
Speaker 5: shutting up is because had he and that wasn't necessarily him.
52:44
Speaker 5: He didn't come out on SA anything. Had Tech just
52:47
Speaker 5: gotten the and I think people would have found it eventually.
52:50
Speaker 5: But had Tech just gotten the decision and just went
52:56
Speaker 5: quietly off to the to the side and not all
53:00
Speaker 5: but kind of bragged about the fact that they got
53:02
Speaker 5: him this this case, this win, I don't think it
53:07
Speaker 5: would have gotten to this level. But again, when you
53:09
Speaker 5: when you made that much noise about it, and you
53:11
Speaker 5: get your athletic director, your head football coach, your school president,
53:15
Speaker 5: and I can't remember who the fourth person was, was
53:17
Speaker 5: it one of the lawyers where they did that that
53:19
Speaker 5: base that live stream talking about how good of a
53:22
Speaker 5: person he is, what they've done to help him in
53:25
Speaker 5: this situation when everybody and their mother knew like it
53:29
Speaker 5: was just about getting and again he's probably he is
53:31
Speaker 5: according to everybody's recent he's a talented quarterback. But that's
53:37
Speaker 5: the only reason why you wanted him, and for again
53:39
Speaker 5: for the NFL, like you ain't that good and we
53:43
Speaker 5: God like, I just it's just it makes me giggle
53:46
Speaker 5: some because, yeah, somebody finally got him, Like you can't
53:49
Speaker 5: beat the NFL.
53:50
Speaker 11: Yeah, And and I think part of this is also
53:53
Speaker 11: just the fact, you know Cody Campbell, who is the
53:56
Speaker 11: chancellor of the or of the tech system Double Eagle
54:03
Speaker 11: chairman and CEO, you know, billionaire who's been basically financing
54:07
Speaker 11: all of the tech in I L. I think he
54:11
Speaker 11: even realized with all my money, I cannot take on
54:15
Speaker 11: the shield. No, this is a no win situation. And
54:20
Speaker 11: I'm just I'm already paying five million dollars to a
54:22
Speaker 11: guy who's not even he's Yeah, he's gone, So just
54:28
Speaker 11: take the l get out of the way. Hope this
54:31
Speaker 11: gets out of the news cycle. And yeah, with the
54:35
Speaker 11: news that came out today that he's that Sowarsby's not
54:38
Speaker 11: going to pursue further litigation, which, again, what in God's
54:44
Speaker 11: green Earth makes you think you're going to be able
54:45
Speaker 11: to go against the NFL. The NFL attorneys and the
54:49
Speaker 11: nfl PA attorneys because the nfl PA.
54:52
Speaker 5: Doesn't want any part of this like they like, and
54:54
Speaker 5: obviously he's not a member yet, but like that they
54:57
Speaker 5: didn't like, and that's.
54:59
Speaker 11: Going to be something interesting to see moving forward. I
55:01
Speaker 11: heard Dominique Foxworth talk about this on his show because
55:05
Speaker 11: of his involvement with in the NFL Players Association. This
55:10
Speaker 11: is gonna be one of those things that you know,
55:12
Speaker 11: now they're gonna have to put on their radar because
55:15
Speaker 11: if players are implicated in this, how is the how
55:18
Speaker 11: is the Players Association going to handle it? And you know,
55:22
Speaker 11: in kind of in these gray waters where it's a
55:25
Speaker 11: potential NFL player, are they going to you know, is
55:31
Speaker 11: there going to be some precedent for them to get
55:33
Speaker 11: involved as well? So, but again I just go back
55:39
Speaker 11: to the cardinal sin again. You keep the you keep
55:42
Speaker 11: the greatest hitter in the history of Major League Baseball
55:46
Speaker 11: out of the Hall of Fame and away from anything
55:49
Speaker 11: Major League Baseball related until his dying day because he
55:55
Speaker 11: didn't even do what this guy has admitted to doing.
55:59
Speaker 5: Yep, we have wrapped up today so much too. I mean, yeah,
56:06
