You've been out for a little bit. 18 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.399 Yeah, you know, it's been kind of an interesting few 19 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:49.600 days with the NBA Finals wrapping up, So that was 20 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.600 I'm sure you guys talked exensively about that yesterday, but 21 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.119 certainly that was kind of the highlight of this part 22 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.320 of the summer, and so that's kind of the dead 23 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.079 part of summer was kind of upon us. 24 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.880 Yeah, which is tough for me because I have a 25 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.959 hard time finding people. I had one of your not 26 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.359 a colleague of yours, but the same kind of business 27 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.480 you're in with Jennifer, I think yesterday. And it's just 28 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.680 how difficult it is to find stories this time of year. 29 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.079 But you get the off stories. You don't have to 30 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.359 do the sports stories, right, not that you have to 31 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.000 do it before, but you find the off off the 32 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:22.879 cuugh stories. 33 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.280 We used to have a lot of fun with those 34 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.280 kinds of stories too, because those are stories maybe you 35 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.200 would not have time to do in the heart of 36 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.560 the football and basketball seasons in a town like this, 37 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.599 So you kind of put those stories to the side. 38 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.319 You think about it and say, hey, you know, why 39 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.319 don't I contact this person. Let's do something a little 40 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.000 bit different. So that's kind of what the summers were 41 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:40.519 always about. 42 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:42.120 Off the top of your head. Do you remember any 43 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:42.840 of those stories? 44 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:43.040 Oh? 45 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.159 Man, they weren't too memorable. 46 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.359 You were, well, it's been a while, but you you 47 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:49.719 must have been a whiz at this. 48 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.760 I mean, let me go back and look. I mean, 49 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.280 you know a lot of little league things. 50 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.519 Yeah, I think you say that. My one of my 51 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.480 favorite was like back then, it was like the twenty 52 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.879 fifth year of them going to the Williams Sport and 53 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.719 the kids of seventy whatever it was, eighty whatever it was, 54 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.039 and they still had their vhas VHS tapes, and and 55 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:11.879 we ran those and I did the stories on most 56 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:13.800 of the kids that are still around, and maybe a 57 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.199 coach or two had already passed. 58 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:15.599 You know. 59 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.159 It was also good. Again, it doesn't really exist now. 60 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.719 In the same form was this Tucson Summer Pro League. 61 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.960 And that would kick in like in July usually or whatever. 62 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.960 Right now, I guess it's going when when they, yeah, 63 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.560 the guys would come Wildcats would be playing, or the 64 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.719 recruit would be coming in, or some you know, veteran 65 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.080 player would come back this summer. 66 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.759 Those were great stories to have, you know, stuck right 67 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.560 in the middle, especially when they went at each other. Yeah, 68 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.879 you know Richard's in the U and the Marcus Williams 69 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:46.319 and the Jason Terry, Jason Terry and uh and Chris 70 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.520 Rogers and those guys who just you know didn't want 71 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:48.960 to back down. 72 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:50.520 Yeah, I mean they would come back. They would stick 73 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.479 around for the summer. Things were different. I guess in 74 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.840 those years they didn't have places to go or they 75 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.639 didn't need to be back, but they would do summer 76 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.039 school or just to kind of stay around Tucson and 77 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:00.639 then they would play. 78 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:01.879 So those are a good summertimes story. 79 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.479 I used to joke about this because Marcus was coming 80 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.120 back for his sophomore year and he'd score like forty 81 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.439 five a game and blah blah blah. And I used 82 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.680 to get email saying, how come he can do that? 83 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.759 I hope he does that in the regular season, ma'am. 84 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.479 He's playing against nobody. 85 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.039 Yeah, he's playing against some forty year old guy played 86 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.000 you know, high school basketball twenty years. 87 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.439 Ago, right right, You'll be lucky to get fifteen from him. Yeah, 88 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.639 And and and that's what he did every now, and 89 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.199 he scored, scored, But yeah, there was kind of false expectations. 90 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:32.840 It was fun though it was. 91 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.240 It was a fun when it When it first started, 92 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:36.520 I think they were playing at the JCC. 93 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.560 They would get you know, actually some people to come 94 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:39.199 out and watch. 95 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.680 And then eventually I think it evolved and moved around 96 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.759 to some different increations a great Gregory school, but back 97 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.319 in the day it was it was kind of cool 98 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.240 when all of a sudden, you know, hey, it's you'd 99 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.280 get the phone call like at you know, four o'clock, Hey, 100 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.319 I heard that you know, Richard Jefferson is going to 101 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.840 show up and play play tonight. 102 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.439 We would just you know, send the cameras out. 103 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.400 Don't forget about TM USA two baseball that summer, the 104 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.240 summers when they have the headquarters here. 105 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.520 Yeah, they had a lot of Olympic program whatever it 106 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:05.759 was a USA Baseball program. 107 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.159 Jerry Kendall was coaching. 108 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.000 And you get a lot of the sons of the 109 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.360 at the time, uh, the big the big wigs, you know, 110 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:13.919 back in the back of the day.

Yeah, they ask him things and maybe 211 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.360 yeah stuff. It's not pertin into the game itself, which 212 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:06.319 is something else is going. 213 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.480 Yeah, well to your points to fill the notebook before 214 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.920 the deadline comes later, because that'll be replaced or become 215 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.920 the sidebar later in the night. 216 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.279 But now deadlines are so screwy, you know. 217 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.000 Like are they even deadlines anyway?

But it's the internet that's twenty four to seven. Yeah, right, 221 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.560 Once you come up with something, you put it on 222 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:30.199 and you're good. 223 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:31.240 Yeah. 224 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.279 I was at the tail end of all that when 225 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.399 I finished in two thousand and nine, I think when 226 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:37.279 Luke was going. 227 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.159 Through his his his illness, the end of his time. 228 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.679 Yeah, I mean for us it was And that was 229 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.679 always kind of bothered me too, is that we would 230 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.080 put stories on the Internet before they even hit the air. 231 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:47.440 Yeah. 232 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.960 Yeah, which is a lot right right. You're breaking your 233 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.000 own stuff if you broke yourself. 234 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.200 Yeah, here it is. 235 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.120 Yeah, though, that was very odd, but you know, I'm 236 00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.559 not sure if that actually worked. You know, people are 237 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.120 going to jump on the Internet and say what does 238 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.279 Dave have or what Steve edge? 239 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:03.919 It is? What it is? 240 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.879 I mean back then it was so new things like 241 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.720 Twitter and Facebook and things like that that I was 242 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.639 just kind of getting used to myself. And then next thing, 243 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.759 you know, the TV stations all over the place are 244 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.720 like putting their stories on you know, long before the Yeah. 245 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.639 Yeah, no, you know what I'm I don't even do 246 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.240 much Twitter. I just don't like it. It's a bunch 247 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.080 of crap, you know, people fighting with each other about 248 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.919 stupid stuff. Uh so I just do it on Facebook. 249 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.399 That's not and that's not it's a world. It's a 250 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.759 different audience. It's older audience. You know they don't get 251 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.440 into it, but Twitter is like crazy, you know, anybody 252 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.559 from everywhere. It's just kind of talking. You just never 253 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:42.960 know who these people are. That's the whole thing. I 254 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.159 told you one time, just recently a year ors so ago. Uh, 255 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.360 someone created a fake Facebook page and sent me a note. 256 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:50.200 How came you always on? 257 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.039 How come you always so negative with Tommy, Tommy Lloyd, 258 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.080 I'm thinking what? So I had to go and see 259 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.879 if this guy was a fake fake profile profile. 260 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.679 Yeah, I have a sense of who it might be. 261 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.639 It might have been. I said, what are you talking about? 262 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:05.600 I said, yeah, you always I. 263 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.080 Said, please breve it, go find it where because it's 264 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.759 not true. He left me alone, and then he kind 265 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.240 of sent me a note later on, and I'm thinking, 266 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:15.960 go away a bunch of fake stuff. 267 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.080 You know, it's a problem on that old Internet. 268 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.519 You never quite sure if these people are real, where 269 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:22.360 they're coming from. 270 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.519 There's you know, there's stories about that as well. I 271 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:25.320 can look that up. 272 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:29.000 So Tommy stopped sending me those notes. No, he could 273 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.759 care less, but yeah, it was just kind of strange. 274 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.799 So today Tommy had no Dave, Dave Silver, We're gonna 275 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.519 have the coach the manager of the Tucson Squirrels. 276 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.360 Last week we talked to one of the players. It 277 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.879 was good. They're very good this year. 278 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.120 I think they were sixteen and four when we talked 279 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:48.879 to the baseball player. 280 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.399 I think they won a game or two, so they 281 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.639 might be better than that. Now. 282 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.879 His name is Sean McNeil. I'll see how long he's 283 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.600 been with them. They won three titles of the Pequos League. 284 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.519 So he's gonna call us about three eighteen in about 285 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.480 seven minutes, and then at four seventeen about we're gonna 286 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.840 have the good friend Doug Holler with the Athletic, who 287 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.039 covers the Phoenix area for the Athletic and he's covering 288 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.440 the Suns when I've talked to him about the big 289 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.720 trade one. How's the city kind of dealing with that? 290 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.759 I think they their time is coming gone with Durant. 291 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.519 Yeah, I know he was. 292 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.399 It was the honeymoon. It's a honeymoon everywhere. 293 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:24.639 Yeah. 294 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.480 So one of my buddies sent me his his profile, 295 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.440 not his, but Durant's profile. All the uniforms he's worn 296 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.600 in the last whatever. He's like j Lo of the NBA. Yeah, 297 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.679 he's got every uniform now a new one. He's bounced around, 298 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.080 that's for sure. What is He's thirty seven now, so 299 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.279 I don't know how many teams is good. Like you said, 300 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.279 he's got to be what five, five or sixteen? 301 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.200 Oh more than I think I have to count at least. 302 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.039 But yeah, it's been an interesting run for him, and 303 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.240 you know, he seems to get to a place and 304 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:52.720 he's happy with it for about a year or so, 305 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.159 and then by year two the comments started coming out 306 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:58.720 to get moved, and you know now they're now the 307 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.679 Suns are talking about blowing everything up, getting rid of 308 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.200 Bradley Beal as well. They want to build everything around 309 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.240 Devin Booker, which they tried already once before. Yeah, you know, 310 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.960 I mean the whole DeAndre Ayton thing never really panded out. 311 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:10.559 I don't know. 312 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.759 It's a strange franchise with a relatively new ownership group. 313 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.519 We can talk to Doug more about that, and how 314 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.679 sure he has observed that, you know, from day to 315 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.799 day you never didn't quite know what the owner is 316 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:23.360 going to want to do. 317 00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.440 In addition to that, there's already kind of you know, 318 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.960 everybody believes these mock drafts. I don't take much into account, 319 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:34.519 but they have Carter Bran going to Phoenix at number ten. 320 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.360 I think some some excuse me, some other mock drafts 321 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.320 had him going twenty ninth to Phoenix. I guess my 322 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.320 what because it's Phoenix, right. Yeah, you know that they 323 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:44.720 would love him, but I think he's gonna go way 324 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:45.240 higher than that. 325 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.279 So we'll see. 326 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.039 Maybe they want him that much, maybe he has an 327 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.559 insight to what the possibility is. 328 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.000 It sounds like like, you know, we've been talking about this. 329 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.039 It seems like, you know, really since the season ended, 330 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.759 that he was really pretty much in the top fifteen. Yeah, 331 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.120 you know, no matter what mock draft you looked at, 332 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:02.080 he said, take those with a grain of salt, and 333 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.279 no one will talk about them after sure, you know 334 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:05.440 this thing's over. 335 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.840 But sounds like, you know, he's gonna have a pretty 336 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.879 good chance. Yeah, yeah, no, good for him, Good for him. 337 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.360 He's gonna get a pay raise a little bit what 338 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.240 they're rigging now, which I'm sure he made a pretty 339 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.960 good penny over here. And then we'll see what happened 340 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.240 with Caleb Love here in the next couple of days, 341 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:26.000 because you know, I think that he's capable, but there's 342 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.240 issues for whatever there are, because he's not in anybody's 343 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.159 radar or a very few people's radar. 344 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.279 Well, you know, we all watched him play for the 345 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.120 last couple of years, and we know what some of 346 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.279 the issues are, and so whether or not he can 347 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.399 take his talent to the NBA or maybe they can 348 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.159 either fix some of the the shooting woes and maybe 349 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.799 the inconsistency or maybe the lack of defense or whatever 350 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.840 whatever things. Maybe we're holding him back in the scout size. 351 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.679 You know, who knows he can get into a good 352 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:55.720 system or maybe have to go play elsewhere in a 353 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.200 different country, yeah, for a year, or hey see. 354 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.519 How that goes.
