Come in now the Saltier. Our friend Adam Auslin. 11 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.240 Adam, how are you. What's up, Freddie? Thanks for being 12 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.640 sick last week. Appreciate your big dog. Yeah, Adam, I'm sick. 13 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.840 Somebody's got to fill in, Adam says, I know, just the 14 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.240 guy who is it him? I was produce it. I had a little 15 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.600 bit of a little bit of juice. Hey, Adam, did you get 16 00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.600 a double paycheck as well because you produced too as well? Oh, we 17 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.560 could talk about that off the air. Rod ye come on now, Martin 18 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.959 hooking my man up. I appreciate you. Yeah, Rodney, you know 19 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.239 where we work. Why would you even ask that question? I know, 20 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.920 I know you got to throw it out there sometimes though, my man. 21 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.239 It's time to move on from this subject, all right. So adam NBA 22 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.359 free agency, Uh, we're gonna do Lakers. Then we're gonna do Clippers 23 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.079 and Paul George. But Lakers first. Does nobody want to take their money? 24 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.040 What money? How much do they have to play with? They haven't 25 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.200 signed Lebron James yet. You don't know how much money they're gonna have. 26 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.000 Are they gonna be a second Apron team? I know they don't want to 27 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.000 be. But look at it this way. When it comes to the Lakers' 28 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.040 salary cap. I did a deep dive recently. I talked to the Duke 29 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.120 of Sports. No. I looked at it and I saw that, Okay, 30 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.879 they're about thirty six million dollars. Just for reference here, because it's 31 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:52.400 really not that hard to understand the new salary cap situation. So the cap 32 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:57.439 is at one forty, the first apron is at one seventy eight, the 33 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.920 second aprons at one eighty eight. Once you get over one seventy, you're 34 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.159 in the luxury tax. You know what that means. You start getting hit 35 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.759 hard, like Steve Balmer having to pay one hundred and fifty million dollars in 36 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:14.120 luxury tax money last season because they went thirty six million dollars over the calf. 37 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:19.639 But the Lakers right now the thirty six million to thirty eight million underneath 38 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.800 the first apron. But they haven't paid Lebron James. He just made forty 39 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:29.919 eight million, forty nine million dollars last season, so if he does take 40 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.080 a pay cut, it is conceivable. And I gotta give my man Rodney 41 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.000 credit, because he pointed this out last week. I didn't think it would 42 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.560 matter because I thought, oh, the Lakers, I mean, they must 43 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.919 spend money. They're probably way over the calf. Foolish of me to think 44 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.520 something like that, the Lakers spending a ton of money. They weren't already 45 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.039 over the calf. They're not right now. And if Lebron took twenty million 46 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.560 dollars or something around there, they might have eighteen to twenty million more dollars 47 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.199 to play with, plus the full mid level exception. That's thirteen million dollars 48 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:06.120 plus the bi annual exception that's another five million dollars, so it is significant. 49 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.680 If Lebron does end up taking that pay cut, it will really help 50 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.439 out the Lakers. But he says, if I'm gonna do that for you, 51 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.080 you better make sure to go out there and get somebody for me. 52 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.319 And I understand that. Why not put pressure on the franchise. I don't 53 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.479 hate that, Fred, Oh absolutely, you know if I'm gonna take that 54 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.639 pay because it better be worth our worth, mine and our while for me 55 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.199 to do that, how much of a wrench did it throw into uh to 56 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:38.479 the Lakers with these guys opting in d Low and Readish and those guys opting 57 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.240 in and saying, Okay, I'll take this because there's not a market out 58 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:44.159 there for me. And people are saying, well, he did that because 59 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.280 it's a you know, a sign and they can trade him. He's like, 60 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.400 I don't know if the trade market is great for d Lo there. 61 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.439 Adam, No, I'm with you. I didn't expect that. I don't 62 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.159 think anyone did. After bowing out once again, the way he played against 63 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.240 the Denver Nuggets in the first round, you felt like it was inevitable. 64 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.520 He was no longer going to be a Laker. But if he can't get 65 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:08.560 around you know, eighty million dollars over four years or anything like that. 66 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.599 I mean in the market, it may have just dried up on him. 67 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.759 So yeah, they could trade him. Who wants him? Do they have 68 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:18.879 to attach a pick to get rid of him? Is it going to be 69 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:25.160 like the Chicago Bulls who apparently are dangling Zach Levine, who has injury issues. 70 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.360 I do like him as a player, but the rumor is they got 71 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.560 to give a first round pick just to get rid of that contract. Now 72 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.160 it's still an expiring deal after this year. The eighteen million that de Loo 73 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.399 makes, I'm assuming somebody, if you pair that with a second round pick, 74 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.920 will do the deal, especially because people are talking about DeMar derozen with 75 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.519 the Lakers. Well, he's an unrestricted free agent. If it's a sign 76 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.920 in trade, he's doing Chicago a solid to get something for him. Would 77 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.839 they take de Lo as a rental for one year because you know he's coming 78 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.160 off the books. I think there's something that out there that's possible. But 79 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.240 yeah, I don't think the Lakers expected him and Reddish and others to opt 80 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.079 in like this. Rodney. I do think that made things a lot more 81 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.439 tangled up. Adam is Demarty rose in a good fit for the Lakers or 82 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.040 a name that everybody knows well. I believe he's gonna be thirty six by 83 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.680 the end of this season. Now, to his credit, he's always hit 84 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.199 the fountain of youth. He still plays at a very high level and he's 85 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.279 a mid range master. But that's where things could get a little bit dicey, 86 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.240 because guys like that can clog up the paint in this space and pace 87 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.160 league where you want to stretch the floor, and he's looking to take sixteen 88 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:42.000 to eighteen foot jumpers. He doesn't offer the spacing because he only attempted I 89 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.120 think three to three pointers per game last season. He's been taking a little 90 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.600 bit more as his career has gone along, but it's still all about two 91 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.000 pointers with him, which he is really efficient at. But it's just it's 92 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.800 a it's a cog in the machine a little bit sometimes when you have a 93 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.439 guy like that, and you already have Anthony Davis, who you want playing 94 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.560 in the paint, and Lebron James going downhill. So I don't know if 95 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.000 having another non three point shooter out there on the floor would be as big 96 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.680 as a get of a get for the Lakers as some people are saying it 97 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.839 would be. We hit go on and talk about the Lakers forever. Let's 98 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.360 move to the Clippers, Adam. I just want to ask you, you 99 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:25.480 know, because we talked about this last week of where Paul George may land 100 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.600 ends up landing in Philadelphia, getting that extra year and that money, how 101 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.399 was just overall? How is this? How is this going to land for 102 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.199 the Clippers now this summer and going forward? What's their direction? Hey? 103 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.519 Look, Paul George did what was best for Paul George. The Clippers did 104 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.639 what was best for the Clippers organization. I don't think there's much blame to 105 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.639 go around here. Paul George ended up with at least sixty two million dollars 106 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:56.079 taking that deal. Guys at least that much more money. The Clippers didn't 107 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.759 want to give him the fourth year. Why because they all ready yours paying 108 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.319 call Leonard, they're paying James Harden and both of those guys took pay cuss 109 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.839 the deal they got James Harden on, I couldn't believe. I thought for 110 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.839 sure he was gonna get a three year deal. He basically got a one 111 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:14.519 plus one seventy million dollars total, so thirty five million this year and next. 112 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.800 But if he has a great year, he's probably gonna opt out and 113 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.199 then go for a bigger deal. So the Clippers have a lot more flexibility 114 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:26.160 now within the cap. They're hard capped to the first apron because they already 115 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.399 spent their taxpayer mid level exception. But Paul George, look, I'm gonna 116 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.439 think of him as a good Clipper. I am I'm gonna remember him fondly. 117 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.800 It didn't go as planned, but you know why, because the majority 118 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.920 of the reason this era of Clippers basketball with him and Kawhi Leonard hasn't worked 119 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.360 out was because of things outside of their control, all the injuries going on. 120 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.160 I fully believe they would have won in twenty twenty one had Kawhi Leonard 121 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.959 not have done his knee, and we may look back and say that was 122 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.759 the moment where things truly ended, because then he misses an entire year and 123 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.160 now he's had a meniscus tear, he's had swelling in that knee. Sounds 124 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.680 like he's healthy and ready to go for the Olympics. So that's good to 125 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.000 see at least. But Paul George, he missed one hundred and thirty three 126 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.399 games, Kawhi Leonard missed one hundred and seventy eight games. They just could 127 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.879 never be out there enough together, even though when they were, they wanted 128 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.040 a seven hundred win percentage. That's elite, that's fantastic, that's what you 129 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.720 wanted from that duo. They just couldn't stay out there enough and be healthy 130 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.439 out there on the court. Is it a missed opportunity? You know what 131 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.480 if? Yeah, it feels a little bit like uh T Mac and Grant 132 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.080 Hill to some degree, those two guys not being able to stay healthy, 133 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.200 especially Grant Hill. But I still am gonna I'm not gonna completely flip or 134 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.279 turn on Paul George. I wish him nothing but the best unless he's playing 135 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.120 the Clippers. I've be rooting for the Clippers in those games. But I 136 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.399 some people are upset because they want him to stay and take a hometown discount 137 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.600 basically, but guys over sixty million dollar more to go to the Philadelphia seventy 138 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.639 six ers, Rodney, you get this more than anyone an athlete's time span 139 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.720 to make the majority of the money they're gonna make in their life happens within 140 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.200 five, ten or fifteen years. If you're lucky, right, you gotta 141 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.679 take advantage of that. I'm never gonna fault anyone for taking the most money 142 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.120 possible. Did the Clippers sign the wrong guy? Should they have signed Paul 143 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:26.759 Georgia, not Kawhi now Kawhi Leonard. I think it's honestly an easy answer. 144 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.440 When Kawhi is healthy, he plays like a top five player out there. 145 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.039 He plays like an MVP player. He's an all time one of the 146 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:41.639 greatest playoff performers in NBA history. I understand he's missed about forty more games 147 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.879 than Paul George is a Clipper, and that's including the fact that he missed 148 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.559 an entire season after tearing his ACL But when he's been healthy, he's been 149 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.240 very much more reliable and consistent with his play. The knock on Paul George, 150 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.600 and I said this before, you don't understand night tonight, whether he's 151 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.840 gonna be a top ten player level or a top thirty five player level. 152 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.200 His play fluctuated much more, especially in the playoffs, than Kawhi Leonard. 153 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.159 Kawhi was the clear number one Paul George said it multiple times. He's the 154 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.320 number one. I'm the number two. You pay the number one guy. 155 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.279 Oh he said out of his mouth. Adam, what do you say when 156 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.600 people look up and the casual fan goes, well, look at Boston, 157 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.440 man, they got two Supermax guys and they got supporting cats. How do 158 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.919 they do it? And we don't. We can't do it. The Boston 159 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.799 Celtics drafted both of those guys. They've had them on the cheap for some 160 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.360 time. They only recently got these deals where combined I think they're making six 161 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.840 hundred million dollars, which is crazy. By the way. On a side 162 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.639 note, the Boston Celtics just won the championship with two players on their roster 163 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.200 combined to make over six hundred million dollars, and both of them I don't 164 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.919 believe for top five players in the league. They're both very good. Jason 165 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.679 Tatum certainly plays like a top five player at times. I would say he 166 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.200 has some of the same issues as Paul George. You don't know what you're 167 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.639 getting from him offensively, but he's so damn well rounded it almost doesn't matter. 168 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.159 And the team is constructed so perfectly where you can play five out with 169 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.919 a bunch of two way guys. They played both ends of the court, 170 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.080 and they also all shoot three pointers. You know who was doing that before 171 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.399 anyone? The Clippers in twenty twenty one Wing stop Clippers when it looked like 172 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.919 they were going to win the championship, they haddle that versatility. But Kawhi 173 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.759 Leonard did his acl The rest is history. Maybe, So the Boston Celtics 174 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.360 did everything right, and they had a little bit of good fortune along the 175 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.240 way, and they finally got over the top. And they didn't listen to 176 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.919 dumbasses who said they needed to break it up and get rid of Jalen Brown 177 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.759 or people I don't know, like Fred on this show who said they shouldn't 178 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.200 paid him three hundred million dollars. I don't know if Fred said that or 179 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:56.159 not. But you know, okay, Bred, how many people said it 180 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.000 going into this past season that you can't pay Jalen Brown three hundred million dollars. 181 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.879 Guess who was Finals MVP? Jalen Brown. I think it worked out 182 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.799 all right, Adam, Right now, who would you rather be? The 183 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.919 Lakers are the Clippers? Right now? Fred, you know I'm going to 184 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.679 say the Clippers what kind of questions. Yes, well, all right, 185 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:22.320 but from the basketball perspective, an analyticals perspective, I like the Clippers flexibility 186 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.679 they have right now in the way that they have scrambled here because they always 187 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.799 had a backup plan. They knew, guys, this was not a surprise 188 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:35.159 to them. This stalemate has been going on four months, and it was 189 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.759 always the impasse was they don't want to give him the fourth year. If 190 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.639 he could get the MAX from anyone else, he was likely going to take 191 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.879 it. He got it from Philly. The Clippers are not surprised from this 192 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:50.320 or reeling or didn't have backup options already. When they signed Derek Jones Junior 193 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.799 right away on Sunday, you knew it was on. By the way, 194 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.559 that was the guy who shut down Paul George for the most part in the 195 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.919 first round series for the Dallas Mavericks. Kind of interest there, But they 196 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:07.440 got Chris Dunn in there. Nicholas batoum all time Clipper favorite, one of 197 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.960 the best role players of his generation, is back. They have Mobamba, 198 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.279 and they still have more moves to make because they're under salary cap. Hell 199 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.679 now they're under the second apron and the first Apron. So people said, 200 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.440 oh, you just lost Paul George for nothing. No they didn't, not 201 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.639 at all. It opened up all these other options and possibilities, and now 202 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.759 they can go from a team that the last seventy games of last season, 203 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.720 believe it or not, the Clippers were twenty first defensively. Now they can 204 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.399 improve on the defensive end to make up for the loss of Paul George. 205 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.159 Offensively where yeah, they were outstanding on that end, and that made up 206 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.320 for their poor defense last year. The only way to still be as competitive 207 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.240 is if you shore up the defense now, and it looks like they're trying 208 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.600 to have a defensive identity. I love that the Lakers still just have so 209 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.200 many unknowns right now going on with this offseasonde of the Broni stuff. Who's 210 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.360 going to be the guy? Is Lebron going to be happy with whoever they 211 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.600 bring in? Because somebody is coming. And I saw at the press conference 212 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.799 earlier they said for the right guy, we will give up future first round 213 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.159 picks. But who they believe is the right guy and who Lebron thinks is 214 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.559 the right guy to bring in right now may differ. Because I think the 215 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.919 Lakers are looking at the next ten years and Lebron's obviously looking at the next 216 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:31.519 two. So there's somewhat even if it's not outwardly a schism, there are 217 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.840 different philosophies going on with the Lakers organization between their best player, who I 218 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.720 think is still their best, most important player, which is crazy to say 219 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.399 at this point at the age of forty, and the front office. Yeah 220 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.879 so yeah. I mean, we hear the press conference with the Lakers, 221 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.159 and you know, it's about culture. But we've seen the last what three 222 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.639 coaches. They say that and then two years later the coaches fired. Do 223 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.039 you think this time around with JJ, because they it feels like they're in 224 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.279 no man's land even with Lebron playing, still playing at a high level. 225 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.919 They got ad, but the supporting cast is not really assisted them into moving 226 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:15.080 further than where they are. Are they willing with Lebron, like you mentioned, 227 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.240 having about two more years left, willing to play the long game With 228 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.200 JJ? I think the thing I most encouraged about with JJ Reddick. Look, 229 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.080 it may not work out, but he at least has said the right 230 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.960 things that they should be doing, which is winning more on the margins, 231 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:37.200 which is crashing offensive rebounds with guards with teams are doing a ton now because 232 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.200 it's not just the NFL that talks about the possession battle. That talk has 233 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.879 lingered into the NBA the last couple of years. That has been the buzzword. 234 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.879 The team that has more possessions, that gets more shots up is going 235 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.399 to win the ball game because everybody who is shooting a very high percentage right 236 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.639 now. If you look at teams and shooting charts and shot profiles, most 237 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:02.200 teams understand through the analytics what shots are good shots and what shots are bad 238 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:07.679 shots. Like that level playing field has occurred in the NBA where everybody's kind 239 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.960 of on the same page there, although the Lakers have been behind in that 240 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.159 area for some time and JJ Reddick said, we have to take more threes. 241 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.159 Guys. The Boston Celtics led the league and three porters attempted. It's 242 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:25.759 not just because they had the personnel that is an analytics play, because the 243 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.240 deal is this, shooting thirty three percent from three is the equivalent of shooting 244 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.080 fifty percent from two. So even when you're shooting below league average, which 245 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.279 is like thirty five thirty six percent from the outside, at thirty three percent 246 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.360 you're still hanging in there like so everybody is doing it. Because of that, 247 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:47.080 you have to evolve with the times. The Lakers have been dragging their 248 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.360 feet into the twenty first century when it comes to NBA basketball because they could 249 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.600 still just pick up star players and it's okay, and we can mask any 250 00:16:53.600 --> 00:17:00.960 deficiencies we have or dysfunction within the organization because superstars will always and save us. 251 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.599 But the new CBA is changing that, guys, I'm telling you it 252 00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.880 is so much more difficult. For instance, let me throw out a couple 253 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.039 of restrictions now at the second aprin This is what happens. If you get 254 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:17.359 above one hundred and eighty eight million dollars. You can have first round picks 255 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:21.440 that are seven years out, which teams typically trade, like the Lakers did 256 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:26.160 with the New Orleans Pelicans. They get frozen. You can't move them, 257 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:30.039 you can't do anything with them. Oh and guess what else. Those first 258 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.400 round picks they move to the back of the line. They're a thirtieth pick 259 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.039 now, so when you get to them, you're screwed too. Oh guess 260 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.319 what else? You see a player out there that makes thirty million dollars, 261 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.960 you can't aggregate contracts to go get him. You can't take two of your 262 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.640 guys that make fifteen million dollars to go get one player that makes thirty. 263 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.720 That's how restrictive it is. That's how punitive it is. They've done all 264 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.839 this and try to stop big spenders like the Clippers and Steve Balmer, like 265 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.200 Joe lacub with the Golden State War, and it's going to work. We're 266 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.359 just seeing it right now with the Clippers, they're becoming a little bit. 267 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.960 Maybe you could say Paul George is a cap casualty because I don't think they 268 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.359 had this new CBA they'd be so worried about the fourth year. But it 269 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:17.559 changes everything. Every team is gonna have to deal with this now. It's 270 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:22.359 a completely different landscape in the NBA when it comes to organizing front offices and 271 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.480 what you prioritize and knowing what your window is to win in the league, 272 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.440 or whether or not you should have more flexibility on the roster because you might 273 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.160 have to rebuild in the next couple of years. Do the new CBA, 274 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:45.440 All right, Hey, breaking it down down, Adam. That's Adam, 275 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.839 good job, good insight, Thanks man. I love you guys.

Yeah, come on, come on, let's get home. 300 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.599 Back to it, Freddy, come on now on a Tuesday, Rodney pet 301 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.119 fred Rogan, let's go Dodgers at the stadium. David Vasse joins us at 302 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:52.240 two o'clock. So they're back, and uh, I think pretty much where 303 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.519 people thought they would be in first place in the division at the beginning of 304 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.519 the year. Of course, a Dodger fans thought, well, they'd win 305 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.400 every game. I mean, they wouldn't even lose. This would be a 306 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.519 no brainer. I like the way the season is playing out for them right 307 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.119 now. I liked it there, I do. I do. Little adversity. 308 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.920 We've seen what happens when they won one hundred games. We get that. 309 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.200 We've seen that movie a few times now, little adversity, keep it 310 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:23.359 moving, be in first place. They're gonna win one hundred games this year. 311 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.359 Fat yeah, But it's like one hundred and eleven, one hundred and 312 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.200 five. I said before the season started. I don't even care if they 313 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.279 went a hundred. To me, it means nothing. To me. It 314 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.559 means be as healthy as you can be, have a little momentum, have 315 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.920 dealt with some adversity, get hot at the right time, and go. 316 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.559 So. I think it's fine. I think it's fine where they're at right 317 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:49.799 now. Reports interesting with the trade deadline coming up, and Vic said it, 318 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.240 and I kind of pooh pooed him, but he had a point. 319 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.480 Garrett Crochet of the White Sox, now they would move him. He is 320 00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.759 a very talented young pitcher under club control for a few more years. He 321 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.240 could become a bona fide ace, a number one. If you're the White 322 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.759 Sox, even though you're god awful, I don't know why you'd move him. 323 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:11.920 Somebody could build around. But maybe they think they could get something for 324 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:18.119 him, So they're exploring that possibility. And the Dodgers have certainly kicked the 325 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:25.000 tires on Crochet. They kicked the tires. But here's what's interesting. According 326 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:29.480 to reports during the offseason, the Dodgers had a lot of interest in somebody 327 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.480 Gavin Stone. David Vassay said before the season started, this guy could be 328 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.000 a cy young winner. And you know, Dave's with him every day. 329 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:42.319 He knows better than anybody what they are and how they'll play. But I 330 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.359 heard that, and what are you kidding, Gavin Stone. Well, Dave's 331 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:52.000 right. Dave's right. The Dodgers had numerous numerous offers for him, and 332 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:53.599 they turned down each and every one, so they know what they're doing. 333 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.920 You've got to believe that Gavin Stone give them the He's pitched this year. 334 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:06.960 Rodney's sort of like an acquisition they made because maybe they expected him to do 335 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.240 this. I don't think anybody else did, so he's kind of a bonus, 336 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.480 like a guy they trained for. That's pretty good so far, you 337 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.799 know what I mean. Yeah, I think outside of the Dodgers organization, 338 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:21.000 nobody really knew what he was about. But then we're finding out that there 339 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.400 were a few teams that did know what he was about and that had interest 340 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.400 in him. And I think there were reports out there that during the offseason 341 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:33.440 he was working on some things and Mark Pryor to pitching staff and the coaches 342 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.640 were looking at him and say, you know, why are you not throwing 343 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:38.759 this pitch? More, why are you not throwing that pitch? So they 344 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.440 worked on a few things, given it a little bit more arsenal, and 345 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:49.720 it's turned out to be fantastic. The question now is how do you how 346 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:55.279 do you manage his workload? Much like Tyler Glass. Now you know Tyler's 347 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.680 not you know, he's approaching as many innings as he's ever pitched, and 348 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.240 how do you dial him back a little bit? And same thing with Gavin 349 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.000 Stone is that he's he's a young pitcher that hasn't gone this long and especially 350 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.039 in the major leagues. So what do you do with him? Do you 351 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.000 keep trotting him out there to keep getting experienced, or do you dial him 352 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.599 back so you can be ready for October? And the problem that the Dodgers 353 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.319 have, and yes, they're gonna have guys coming back off of injury. 354 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.720 But you don't know how those guys are gonna come back. And you've got 355 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:30.759 two guys that have been proving themselves that you look up to October and say, 356 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.240 we got to have these two guys ready to go, because we don't 357 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.880 know if Walker is gonna get it turned around, and we don't know Bobby 358 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.359 Miller gets it, gets his form back. We don't know about some of 359 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:41.640 the y Kershaw is supposed to come back, We don't know he had to 360 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.799 set back. So we got a Yashinobyl. I mean, you know, 361 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:51.319 Yamamoto. We don't know how he's gonna come back. So I mean with 362 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.359 the two guys that they got, they got to really protect him, like 363 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.119 those are our two aces. Fred. Yeah, I would go easy with 364 00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:02.720 Klass now. I would I go easy, you know, if he can 365 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.559 skip a starter or two here or there, just to try to remain strong, 366 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.279 I would do that. I would not push it with him because he's 367 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.519 in uncharted territories, and obviously for Stone as well, but Stone's not had 368 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:17.279 the injury history of a Glass now. So the trade deadline, obviously, 369 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:19.920 arms are always a premium. Dodgers will be looking around see if they can 370 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:26.519 kick the tires on somebody other thing the outfielder now say, says, go 371 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:29.839 get Tommy fam Yes, he's a complete pain and a bit of a psycho, 372 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.039 but you'll only have him for half a season, and that's that dog 373 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.119 you want, and he'll be able to leave these guys and fire him up. 374 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.920 But let me suggest this to you, all of a sudden, the 375 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.000 forgotten man, Chris Taylor is starting to play a little bit Rodney a little 376 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.000 bit. I'm not saying he's tearing the cover off the ball, but he's 377 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:53.079 starting to play a little bit, and maybe it is the start of something. 378 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.200 If he plays, if he comes around, if he gets it together, 379 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.799 isn't that like you went out and traded for somebody, Because quite frankly, 380 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.839 he has not made very much of an impact at all. So if 381 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:11.359 he plays the way they hoped he would when they signed him, haven't you 382 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.319 just added to your roster with a guy sitting there. Yeah, you can 383 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.279 look at it that way that he hadn't give you any really real production through 384 00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.720 the first half of the season, and now he is starting to get hot. 385 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.200 The thing with Chris Taylor is that you know what he can do, 386 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.799 and you know what he can do in the postseason, and if he does 387 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:36.119 continue the way he's gone the last week and a half or so, I'm 388 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.720 willing to roll that dice and let him keep going Fred because I, like 389 00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:42.640 I said, he's got history with us, and he's got history and big 390 00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:47.039 time moments with us. Tommy Fam, I think it's just, you know, 391 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:51.799 it's a roll of the dice. He please played well in Spurts, 392 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.720 and yes, he's got the fiery attitude, but is that something you want 393 00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.160 to bring into the locker room midseason? I don't know if it's me, 394 00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:00.480 No, I'm rolling the dice with Chris Taylor what I got. I don't 395 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.680 mind. I don't like Fam, but I don't mind him. I don't 396 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.759 mind him on your team. It's you know, he's what he's doing. 397 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.160 He's our guy. Theory, if he's your guy, I hate you. 398 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.119 But if you're our guy, maybe I like you. Yeah. But you 399 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.799 think it'd be too much of a disruption period, Yeah, just yeah. 400 00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.480 I don't think it's the impact on the game physically, you know, is 401 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:27.119 is bad or his defense and all that. I don't think it's that impactful 402 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.400 that you got to go bring him in and make an effort to really go 403 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.200 bring him in, and then he let a ball go off his glove for 404 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:41.039 a home run when they play recently, you know, and he's got his 405 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.200 history. Look, I guess I never I never got over the attack on 406 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.559 Jock Peterson for fantasy football. I just never got over that. So I'm 407 00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.000 not a big fan. And you know what, and I get that because 408 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:55.839 guys have done stuff. Honestly, it's like the Region Rondo. Oh, 409 00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.279 he's such a great guy and he'd be a wonderful coach. What he did 410 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.279 to the reference Billy Kennedy. I'll never get over it. I can never 411 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.079 get over that. You're I get what you're saying. Some things just hit 412 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.039 you a certain way for whatever reason. You can't get over it. You 413 00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.759 Everything, everything they do is colored by that. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, 414 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.960 I'm with you. I'm with you. So I don't know. Unless 415 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:23.559 he's a you know, just a monumental talent that is going to immediately make 416 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:30.240 a real difference on your team. Guys like that that are edgy like that, 417 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.720 I don't know if you bring them in. Yeah, I hear you, 418 00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:37.359 I hear you. Well, we'll see, I mean, Dave will 419 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.160 be on top of the two o'clock hour, and he'll tell us why Tommy 420 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:42.839 Fam should be in the lineup tonight. It'll be pretty simple. He'll just 421 00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.960 jump in here and explain why we're both wrong and why Tommy Fam should be 422 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.000 playing tonight. There you go, Uh, you know what we have done. 423 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.319 Let's do this. Let's play it. We haven't played Know Your Squad 424 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.720 in a while? No, we haven't. Should we play Know your Squad? 425 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.319 Today? Come on? Why not? Oh? Wait, did you 426 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.759 tell Kevin Well? I've got it in front of me. So and he's 427 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.000 not yelled at me yet. No, Rodney, he did not tell me. 428 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:12.279 I didn't think so, but I did not. Whatever what is that 429 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:18.440 supposed to mean? Whatever? You know what it means, Kevin? All 430 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.319 right, So we'll play Know your Squad coming up after the break. But 431 00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.680 here's a word from Jacob.

That's 493 00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:28.199 what I said, Kegan Jones, Ronnie gets it? Jones Harden. That 494 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:34.880 was that was very baffling. Uh okay, prior, do you see Las 495 00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.960 win in the LA Bowl earlier this year? Their last Bowl victory was in 496 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.480 the Alamo Bowle in twenty fifteen, which are these players accounted for three of 497 00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:45.679 the team's four touchdowns that day. Paul Perkins, Brett Hundley, Jordan James, 498 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:50.360 Nate Starks or Nick Dogg Brett, Helen Perkins. Brett Hundley is correct, 499 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:55.440 Ronald, thank you, Frederick that thank you. Yes, I want 500 00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:59.760 to go formal names now, so that means Ronnie you have one, but 501 00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:05.639 we'll play the last one out. Who led the men's basketball team of the 502 00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:09.559 scoring gage of twelve point nine points per game? Adam Bona, Will McClendon, 503 00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:15.280 Dylan Andrews, Sebastian mac or Sebastian bach Bona. Dylan Andrews is correct, 504 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:20.280 and that would be Daniel. No, that was rod No, that 505 00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:27.599 would be Rodney. That would be right. I said, Adam, Okay, 506 00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.599 so here we are. It's over, Ronnie. You won. Way 507 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:36.239 to go because we are out of questions. What do you want me to 508 00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:38.960 do? I want you to run the game right? You're rusty? Yeah, 509 00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:43.960 Fred Waiter, I thought I ran the game very well today. No, 510 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.400 you got some of the names wrong. Fred. It was rather confused. 511 00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:52.119 You didn't even give it to him. It's just come on, Fred, 512 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.239 Jesus all right. Anyway, Uh, way to go, Ronnie. 513 00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:59.320 Rodney finished second, but Daniel you got one. You were on the board, 514 00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.880 so that's pretty cool. Nice job, Thank you, thank you, 515 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:05.519 appreciate the time. Guys. All right, you have a great fourth of 516 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:15.400 July. Be safe. Thank you. Uh As we get started with our 517 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.280 three, David Bassett joins us with the Dodgers back in town.
