year, and I'm pretty upset about it. I'm just gonna go on record
right now let him know. Yeah, I'm pissed. I'm pissed. I'm
glad he came on today so I can tell him I'm pissed. Let's bring
on Jack Harris at the Times. Jack, are you there, I'm here.
I'm really just upset that I missed this fight between you two. That's
that's really what I wanted to hear. It wasn't that you know, it's
family fighting, you know what I mean, Jack, Sometimes family have to
go out a little bit to clearly. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have
to go back and listen to it. Yeah, Man, it's good Jack.
Where you've been, Man, we miss you. I know it's been
There's been a lot going on. It's you know, even with that Toney,
I think sometimes there's been a lot of sports stories happened in LA.
But you're kind of getting into that year now where Yeah, I think there's
gonna be a lot of interesting stuff going on the Dodgers. So, yeah,
lots to talk about. Let's start with Miguel Rojas having a hell of
a year defensively, not a question hitting the ball, doing a terrific job.
It's early to speculate, But why don't we speculate, because is it
ever too early for that? When Mooki comes back, if Mickey Rojas is
playing the way he is, you see Mooki going to second base most likely.
I think what we're not gonna see is Mookie Bets starting every single game
at shortstop the way he was before he got hurt. I think even if
mcgaul Rojas wasn't playing as well as he is right now, that might have
been the case. I think if the Dodgers were going to be able to
seriously think about having rookie Bets as their everyday shortstop through the season and into
October, he needed to be getting reps every day, He needed to be
getting his pregame work in every day. And the fact that he's going to
have missed, you know, some two months of that process of learning that
position was always going to make it, in my mind, difficult for him
to play that spot on an everyday basis. Miguel Rojas's performance, I think,
just makes that decision all the easier. His bat had been really consistent.
There was obviously you know this stat about the team winning all but one
game now and when when he's had a base hit, his defense has been
good. I think the only real question there is the workload management part,
and it's his playing time has gone up. You know, he started playing
on a near everyday basis since Mookie got hurt. Can he sustain that?
You know, he's not a young player, and he had a lot of
nagging injuries last year and even a few earlier this year that I think the
team's a little bit wary about so when Mooki comes back, I think,
you know, as things are currently constructed, you could maybe see a few
starts from Mookie at shortstop just to help the workload part with Miguel Rojas would
also allow Gavin Lucks to keep getting starts and he can still be consistent with
the bat. But yeah, I think as you start looking at the playoffs
and how that infield might look, my guess is, uh, you know,
barring some sort of major deal at the deadline, you're going to see
Migul Rojas be in their primary shortstop as far as October is concerned. And
then how how does that? How does that land when Mookie does come back,
and say he does come back and you know, gets healthy late August,
September, whenever it is he gets healthy again, how does he go
back? Because he's the one that lobby to play shortstop, He wanted to
play shortstop, and now he comes back, you take that away from him.
Does he ever get the opportunity to go back and play shortstop again?
If they decide that, hey, it's better for our team that Migey Roe
plays short and you play second. Yeah, I before Mookie got hurt,
I asked him that thing, and it was through the guise of if the
Dodgers ground and trade for a shortstop, you know, would you be okay
moving back to the second base or just moving off that spot. And his
message there has been yes, I just want to win. The reason that
he went to shortstop in the first place was partially because, you know,
the way the team looked at it, and when they talked to him about
it, they all agreed that, you know, putting him at that spot,
given the way Gavin looks was struggling defensively back in the spring, and
given some of the workload and longevity questions around the Gil Rojas at that point,
you know, everybody kind of agreed putting Mookie at shortstop was going to
be the best thing for the team, even though that meant putting a lot
more responsibilit and work on his shoulders, putting him in a position where he
could struggle and fail and have defensive lapses and things like that. He always
at least explained it publicly as I'm doing this for the team because we think
this is the best thing for us to win games. And if now that
calculation has changed, if you know, the team believes that having the Gal
rojasag short is the best option for them, which I think, you know,
anybody who's been watching them can see that that's probably the right way to
go right now. I don't think he's gonna have an issue with it,
you know, going back to second base and playing there more often. That's
what he was preparing to do coming into the season anyway, And while again,
you know, had he been able to really master the switch to shortstop,
it would have been one of the more impressive accomplishments of his entire career.
I think when you add into the injury factor and just all the time
missed, I think I don't think you're going to get many objections or complaints
from him. If that's how things shake out. Try this one. Uh
he comes back and uh Otani's killing it in the leadoff spot. Is there
a conversation, MOOKI, you want to hit second, you want to hit
third, you want to move down in the lineup. What does Mookie go
right back to the leadoff spot? Yeah? I mean I think that's something
that again last year when the Freddie Freeman or when Trey Turner left and the
Dodgers trying to figure out you know, how the lineup was gonna look,
and what to do with the leadoff spot. You know, Mookie's message then
was, I, yes, I've always hit leadoff. I like leadoff,
but it's not something I demand to do. I'm not you know what it
to that spot. My guess is that, at least initially, when he's
healthy, Mookie's gonna be the leadoff hitter again for this team. I don't
think that, you know, yeah, Shohotani's numbers have been really good since
he went into the leadoff spot, but that could be just a matter of
timing the fact that, you know, he's got his swing in a good
spot just when Mookie got hurt. He's always been a good player in June.
So you know, as far as I see it, I don't think
that you know Otani's doing better because he's a leadoff hitter. I don't think
that he's going to be demanding the Dodgers to keep him there. Maybe if
Mookie comes back and either he struggles, or if Tawny struggles, or if
they feel like they need to mix up the line up in some way,
they'll do that. But I think for right now, my expectation is Mookie's
going to go back to hitting the leadoff when he's healthy, and I don't
think it'll have a huge impact on any of their performances. Yeah, and
I think that probably helps send them convince him to go to second base if
they leave him at the leadoff spot. I think that that that softens the
blow a little bit. Jack. You know, everybody obviously is waiting for
this team to get to October to see what happens. Managing from now until
then is going to be interesting. And how Dave rob deals with you know,
pitching and you know, Todder Glastow is going more innings and he's ever
thrown and how do you manage him? How did the Dodgers really navigate these
next couple of months leading up to October, Because again, it's a pretty
much a fourgone conclusion. They're going to win the West, but it is
all about October with this team, and what do you do from now and
then outside of you know, getting healthy. Yeah, I mean this is
a dance that this team's been familiar with the last couple of years of having
a big division lead, knowing that their postseason fate was locked up early in
the season, and trying to strike that balance between keeping a sense of urgency
and trying to win as many games as you can, but also protecting your
roster and protecting its injuries, and especially with the pitching staff, managing workloads.
I think as far as this season is concerned, there's a couple of
things. One, you've got to keep Tyler Glass now healthy but also effective,
right, and that's kind of the tricky balance. He's going to be
in his next probably three or four starts, he's going to surpass his career,
his previous career high and innings pitched. Dave Roberts has already talked about,
you know, looking for ways to steal an inning here or there from
him to try to manage the workload. I think the interesting question for the
Dodgers with him is going to be do you give him a break at some
point? You know, if he's getting up near one hundred and fifty one
hundred and sixty innings, which he's never pitched more than one hundred and twenty
in a season before, do you think about skipping a start something like that.
But then you also have to weigh that with if he's pitching well,
you know, do you knock him out of his routine. How do you
again, how do you kind of match you know, maximizing performance while also
protecting against health. I think the same thing applies to some of the guys
in the lineup. I think the magilt Rojas piece of this is another example
of that, where you want that guy to be healthy and at his best
when you get to October. You don't want to overburden him. But there
is also some dynamics with the standings, like, yes, the Dodgers are
going to most likely when it's probably not going to be a close race there,
but there are a couple of games behind the Phillies for the top seed
in the National League. I think if there's any team in baseball that you
would like to have home field advantage over or not have to go on the
road to face, it probably is a team like the Phillies, and it
is that kind of environment in that ballpark. So there are still things to
play for, you know, they still have to figure out, you know,
depending on Yoshinobu Yamamoto's help. You know, is he going to come
back? And if not, who are the other pitchers that we trust the
most. So it becomes a little bit of a dress rehearsal for October.
But yeah, first and foremost with this team, it's keeping the pitching staff
healthy, it's keeping the roster at large healthy, and it's trying to make
sure that when you get to the postseason, you've done that while also trying
to keep some of these guys you know, performing at a high level.
So Jack trade deadline will be here soon enough. Everybody talks about what they
need, what they don't need. I don't see them doing anything major.
It's a trade deadline, do you. I don't see a lot of major
possibilities. Now, there are a few moves that could make sense for them.
I think the most obvious one is getting another front line pitcher like a
Garrett Crochet, who is somebody the Dodgers have been evaluating for some time now.
They've been linked to in a lot of reports lately about their interest in
him. He is probably the one guy who's going, who is believed to
be likely moved by the deadline, who you'd feel pretty confident is an impact,
top of the rotation kind of picture, the kind of guy that you
know can help you win games in October, and I think that's kind of
the bar for the Dodgers right now, right Hey Jack, Jack, let
me just stop you because I want to ask you about Crochet because Vic mentioned
it last week. Any cost controlled, why would the White Sox move him?
You know, they're in a place right now where he's got a couple
of years of team control FDS, but they're also so far from competitive myths
that you know, that's the kind of guy that if you can move him
early and you can get a really big return back, you're maybe setting your
organization up a little bit better long term to compete if you don't feel like
you're going to be a playoff team in the next couple of years. But
it's because of that dynamic that makes it tricky for the Dodgers, right because
you know, if you're the Dodgers, you feel kind you feel pretty good
about your long term outlook starting pitching wise with Yoshinoba Yamamoto and Gavin Stone and
Bobby Miller and some of the other guys that can go out and pursue in
the next couple of years. So they're going to have to ask themselves,
do we want to potentially overpay for a pitcher like Eric Crochet who is not
flawless right, Like, he has his own workload management questions right now.
He's not somebody who has an extensive postseason track record, but he's also the
American League leader in strikeouts. He has the kind of stuff that right now,
outside of Tyler glasnow maybe Gavin Stone, Like that's the one piece the
Dodgers are missing, right It's who do you really feel confident about already Game
two or Game three of a playoff series at this moment in time for the
Dodgers, And I think Yamamoto is a pretty big question mark given the shoulder
injury. You know, Bobby Miller has not looked as good as he did
last year and has had his own injury this year. Walker Wheeler's back on
the IL, Clayton Kershaw has had his return from his shoulder injury slowed.
So that's the most obvious need. And I think that's the kind of guy
that you know, if you're the Dodgers and you really want to give yourself
every best chance to win a World Series this year, that's the kind of
guy you got to go get. But it's also the kind of move we've
seen them shy away from in the past, where you know, if they
don't feel like they're getting good value on a deal, they they'll walk away
from it. And I think the way the pitching staff is set up right
now, the way that like this team is performing, yeah, I would
not be surprised if they feel like the market or the prices for an impact
player like that on the market are just too high and don't align with sort
of their short term and long term vision of how to build the roster.
And that's where the next couple week going to be interesting, because outside of
a Garrett Crochet, right, there's not a lot of other like true certain
frontline pitchers. You know, somebody like Jack Clarity is good and can maybe
be a surprise October contributor, but he's not a for sure thing, you
know, even on the offensive side, right, Boba Schet's probably the best
shortstop. He might be available to go get, but he's a guy who
has some defensive questions and hasn't been super consistent with the bad and he's had
some injuries over the last year. So it's a really interesting market where you're
gonna have a lot of buyers, prices are going to be inflated, and
there just aren't a lot of impact players, because a lot of them have
already moved, like Dylan Sie's has already moved, Luisa Rise has already moved,
Corbn Burn's already moved, like a lot of the pending free agents have
already switched teams. So now you're looking at guys with either years of control
left or guys that are just going to be a lot more costly than the
Dodgers have typically liked to do. So that's where this next month is interesting.
I think that's where if you're the Dodgers, you have to really take
stock of who do we trust. Do we think we have enough for October?
And if not, how much are we willing to pay to go get
some premium help and to fundamentally change our roster or fundamentally reinforce something like the
starting rotation or the lineup. Hey Jack, how impressed are you just just
because you cover it every day? Or and sometimes we get numb. I'm
already with the way Otani is playing and the things that he's able to do,
and he's not even pitching yet. But when I look at it,
I go he made the absolute right choice to come to the Dodgers, because
long term, think about where he's hitting, and the and the supporting cast
that he has around him, you know, whereas I think with the Angels,
you know, with with Mike Trout there, yes it's great, but
Mike Trout has been injured, but they can't really pitch around o'tani like they
may have done in the past because of the Dodger lineup. And I think
he's really I mean, he's a great hitter and great player, but I
think he's only going to continue to benefit because of who the Dodgers have in
their lineup. Yeah, I mean that was one of the I think appeals
that the Dodgers saw and themselves when they were pursuing o'kani, that they could
give him the kind of lineup that he didn't consistently have at Anaheim. You
know, that he wouldn't have to be shouldering all the load, that he'd
have some lineup protection. I think the other thing is, you know,
he's independent race for the first time, he's he's on a team where every
game carries a different kind of meaning than it ever did before. You know,
we've seen him have kind of similar productive outbursts like he's on right now,
and like he's put together the first half of the season right where he's
on pace for about fifty home runs, where he's going to be a starter
in the All Star Game, where he's going to be in the middle of
an MVP conversation. But what's different this year is it's also coming on a
team that's winning a lot of games, where he's the reason that there were
a main reason they're winning a lot of games, and you know, he
can start actually looking ahead to playing October baseball and being in a postseason environment
and truly trying to contend for a World Series. So yeah, I think
it's all those things that when he came to the Dodgers, you know,
made them seem like a good fit for him, and at least for the
first half of this season, you know, that's what you're seeing. Better
line of protection, a better team overall, and just a different kind of
experience for a guy who, yeah, has just never kind of been in
this situation before in his MLB career. Isn't it funny when you think about
it, he's never been in this situation when you watch him with the Dodgers,
and obviously it's a very small sample size so far, but you're watching
with the Dodgers, and you think, oh, of course he's been at
it, because that's what the Dodger's doing. He's there. This is really
the first time he's experiencing this. I find that fascinating. Yeah, and
it's been interesting to watch, I think, you know, especially the closer
we get to October, when the games really start to get me, I
think it's going to add another layer. But you know, it's even like
earlier this year, he struggled a little bit early in the season with runners
and scoring position. I think that's a story or that was a subplot that
might not have mattered as much in the past, but then was a really
big deal early in the year. He's gotten better in those situations as the
year has gone on. I think some of the you know, like clutch
hitting situations or just situational hitting situations, Like there's just a lot more hyper
focus on a lot of those different things because of that, right, because
you know, it's it's more than just is he ops in one thousand and
is he on pace for fifty home runs? And you know, is he'
batting over three hundred? Like it's not only the high level production that matters,
but also the little things on a game by game basis that it's been
interesting watching him approach those situations, explain them to reporters, you know,
a postgame about how it feels different and why it's you know, just a
little bit more invigorating full for him. And I think that's only going to
continue to grow, you know, the closer you get to postseason baseball.
All right, now I'm not mad at you anymore because you came back on
today. Because I was mad, Jacket, I wouldn't put up with it.
I missed you, I wanted you on more. So now I'm happy
again. Yeah, well anytime, it's yeah, it's, there's, there's.
I think there's gonna be a lot. It's gonna be interesting to see
how this team kind of stries to position itself going into October and and and
going in for a postseason run. I think it's going to be carrying as
much pressure as any as we've seen the last couple of years. So yeah,
there's gonna be lots to talk about. All right, Thanks, Jack,
appreciate it. Yeah, you see you guys, thinks. All right,
catch the boys in Blue right here on a five seventy l A sports
stream all the games at HT and the iHeartRadio. I have the keyboard a
five seventy LA Sports. Listen to the games on the top of the six
to four the Andre Ethier Q to call and you could win a one hundred
dollars gift card to Superior Grossers. All right, Rodney, we have to
bring Vicon, but oh uh, you know what, I've got this story.
All right, got a story. I'm gonna bring it up, ask
you what you what you would do, and then we'll bring Vicon. All
right, okay, all righty, let's go. Yeah, they smile in
your face all the time. They want to take your place stuff backstaff.
Yeah, come on, it's a monday to be fred Rogan. Come on,
Freddy, tell me about it. All right, here's the dilemma.
What do you do? Uh, there's a wedding, right the family is
invited. Your cousin is invited. Now, your cousin weighs six hundred pounds.
Your cousin can't move around real well. And by the way, the
cousin needs you to take them to the wedding. Now, right off the
bat, you have a Kia an Optima, So the six hundred pound cousin
won't fit in the car. But somehow you figure out a way to get
them to where the area is. Now the problem it's outside, it's on
the grass, and the cousin has some sort of device, but they won't
let it go on the grass, so it can't go. So now you
have your six hundred pound cousin, but they want to go to the wedding
and it's on the grass. So then the suggestion is push your push this
person in a wheelchair. Well, you say, I cannot push someone six
hundred pounds in a wheelchair. I just physically can't do it. So they
come up with another idea to get the person close enough. They're gonna get
a flatbed truck and they're gonna load the person on the truck. This is
a truck that delivered some of the things for the wedding, but it can
drive up to where the ceremony is. Now, the cousin says, I'm
not going on the truck. That's the meaning, you're not gonna put me
up on a big truck. A flatbed truck can drive me there. I
want you to push me, and the other one says I can't push,
And there's the dilemma. The cousin is mad, but the family member won't
push. The family member says, I can't push. It's six hundred pounds.
We'll put you on the flatbed truck. What do you do? Let
me get this straight. So right, you can't you can't physically. You've
let your cousin know. You can't physically push the cousin because it just won't.
Well, you can't do it physically. You just can't push a six
hundred pound person grasp because it's difficult. Right, it's not traction like like
cement or anything like that, a regular vote, right, So that's not
that's even if you wanted to physically, you can't do it till the only
other option is the flatbed. Yes, the cousin doesn't want to be on
the flatbed because he says it's demeaning, that's humiliating. Yeah, well it's
either the flatbed or or nothing. There's no other You tell me another option.
Because I can't push you. You tell me it's balls in your court.
I can't push you. There's a flatbed that can clearly get you there,
but I can't push you, So it's on you. I'm here to
support you anyway, but I can't support that. Literally, no, I
don't see you know, I don't see how because and doesn't have a flat
bed to lay on. Because we can't move your cousin. We can't move
you can't move you. No, we can't move you. We want you
to go, and we came up with an alternative plan. But if you
don't want to go, there's nothing we can do. All right, let's
bring on Vic. Let's do what Vick wid you. Because Vic's got a
huge heart. Vic might start pushing that wheelchair with a Monday beginning of the
fourth of July week, Haiku, we welcome on Victor Break and Vic.
Good afternoon, Fred. That's a very penetrating question. And you know,
I'm a big fan of six hundred Pound Sisters in the Learning Channel, so
I'm very familiar. Stop stop, I've heard what are you talking about?
Life? I've heard that show my six hundred pound Life or whatever. But
six hundred Punds Sisters, Vick. I believe it's a spin off on TLC.
But I'm a big fan of the show because it shows you the desire
you know of you know, the people who have to lose hundreds and hundreds
of pounds and their journey. It's it's heartbreaking. But when you start seeing
them hit the scales and losing the weight, you just, you know,
rooting them on. You're so you're so happy for them, you know,
because it's such an incredible dedication. But in this case, Fred, you
gotta go. You gotta you gotta use any option you can. I go
flatbed. But the cousin's being difficult. Vic. The cousin says, I
won't go on the flatbed. It's humiliating to go on a flatbed. You
better push me, Vick. That's a that's a very difficult choice. However,
to get it done, you got to get it done. You know
you're gonna you want to attend the wedding. Vic, I weigh six hundred
pounds. I tell you, I want you to push me in a wheelchair.
You say, Fred, I can't push you in the wheelchair. You're
six hundred pounds and we're gonna be going on grass and there's no traction.
But I got a plan. What is it. I got a flatbed.
We're gonna get you up on a flatbed and drive you right up there.
And I go, no, Vic, that's not gonna work. That's the
meaning and humiliating to me, I'm not doing it. What are you supposed
to do at that point? Vic? That's my point. There's nothing insane
dilemma, Fred, insane dilemma. But the whole purpose is to you know,
attend the wedding. So whatever means it takes. And the flatbag is
flatbed is a good option. You just have to sell the You got to
sell the flatbed to the six hundred pound person. Yeah, I think that's
the only option, right, Yeah, she's not buying. She just didn't
want to be humiliated though that. You could lower in on a crane.
Okay, that'll be even more to meeting Fred abound like electric scooter. They
say, because it's outside on the grass, you can't do it. M
hm. That's indeed a horrific problem. By the way, viaca un sounds
good. You undersold the sisters. It's a thousand pounds sisters on thousand pounds,
but it's got it. They're combined, right, combined in not one
way that that looks to be the case, Fred, Yes, tremendous show.
What are they doing the show? Vic? They lose weight and it
is their journey of losing the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pounds and the
sacrifices they have to make, and it's it's a it's a tremendous show.
Really, I will say, I'm looking at the list of their episode titles
and they're very clever. Bringing home the bacon fork you, I'm done,
well, done and over with the grapes of wrath, the custardy battle,
Fried cried and tired. Deal with it, Sunflower, pretty good, deal
with it, like deal Pickle, exactly, deal with it. It's so,
it's so, it's so hard. Obviously, we all have challenges in
life. We have so many challenges in life. Everyone has different challenges.
But knowing that you have to lose hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pounds is
so herculean in nature. And my heart goes out to you know, you
know, to the five hundred pounders and the six hundred pounders. But they
lose the way, it's amazing. You know. They see that the specialist
a doctor in Houston, Texas, and he puts them on programs and then
then they lose the weight. Do they take medication, No, it's basically
die in an exercise. Amazing. And what's amazing, Fred is that fresh
and fabulous into it? Though? How about that, Fred rogan Vic,
everybody's got to go see that thing. That is going to be unbelievable.
I'm telling you that you're going to have to experience a game there like the
Clippers hate the Clippers, Who cares? You got to experience a game there.
You just got to see what that's going to be. Like another taj
Mahal of the hood. Yep, although I don't think Mayor Butts would quite
call it that a taj Mahal of the hood. Probably wouldn't go quite there.
Vic. You don't think you'd go for that. No, he'd chuckle,
and then he'd go, what was that? Well, how about giving
money back to the property owners of Inglewood? I mean, that's unprecedented.
Wasn't accomplishment? That was cool? I'll give you that. That was really
cool. I was blown away when I heard that, just blown away.
Also a blown away again. Congratulations into the California Sports Hall of Fame,
Rodney Pete. Oh, just dB Rodney of course, who very kindly buried
the lead and decided to bring that up at one point thirty Rodney, it's
worth a mention at the top. Kind of think somebody else would have brought
that up instead of the person that was doing it. I know, and
I'd forgotten it happened last night. It's saying for it. Yeah, I
forgot otherwise I would have brought it up. I'm just kidding all. No,
that was we should have done that at the time. Ah good.
He is our Hall of Famer, Kevin Fake come on nah a musical royalty.
He cuts deep and dynamic musically every day. Ronnie Fossil have gong will
travel? Yeah, King Flavor boom hm. Well, can you say free
agent flus free agent flux is It's but this is unprecedented in the NBA.
The action, and for me, the most prominent is the loss of Paul
George to the from the Clippers to the Philadelphia seventy six ers. I mean
that fourth year man, he was so hungry for that fourth year on his
deal gets it with the Sixers. But the devastating loss to the Clippers immediately,
the Clipper odds to win the NBA title went down twenty percent in vas.
I mean, it's well documented what the Clippers gave up to unite the
pride of Palmdale with Kawhi. I mean shake gelgis Alexander's shake gelgis Alexander is
a pretty all pronown yep. Of the five first round draft picks, one
was Jalen Williams out of Santa Clara, averaging nineteen points a game with Okcan.
It was a steep price to pay. The Clippers paid it. They
wanted. You know, there were tidal aspirations. Everyone said yes Kawhi Pg.
Thirteen, the whole Los Angeles flavor, Riverside Palmdale. Then you bring
in James Hard and the Beard out of Artisia Lakeside High. I mean,
there was such a when you get to Lakeside High, you gotta gotta catch
a breath. You gotta do that. All right, Mag's back with the
hikup and more. Come on, let's bring it home back, gotta have
it, gotta have it. Rodney b Fred, Rogan, Vick, the
brick Jacob, come on now, come on, Vic. Just to recap
the Clipper free agent flux today, they did give love to the beer James
Hard in the two year seventy. They also hooked up beloved former Clipper Nick
Bertom, very popular player, nice forward. Plus I love this deal.
Clippers also got former Dallas Maverick forward Derek Jones Junior three years thirty mil.
If you remember, Jones stuffed both Kawhi and PG on successive positions in the
recent playoffs. So Derek Jones very nice player. Russell Westbrook opts back to
the Clips at four million, but could be on his way to Denver.
Remember Nuggets lost Kpcito, Orlando Jackson already gone to free agent Frenzy y'all.
Of course the Lakers yikes, and Fred I hear you, Lebron l structure.
The word was out. He was willing to give up twenty five million
dollars to get claim Thompson. But of course Clay went to Dallas three years
fifty. Who's left for the Lakers in the free agent pool. I mean
DeMar DeRozan, Okay, beautiful mid range out of Compton Brook Lopez apparently heating
up talks a former Laker. Remember one year Lopez played center, but very
thin pickings. But DeMar DeRozan would be a nice pickup. If I'm Polinka,
I'm centering my efforts on DeMar, well, he might be it exactly.
It's thin pickings out there right now. You guys watched the b T
