WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Give me that news quickie.

2
00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah. So last night Sean Sharnie of ESPN

3
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:08.519
<v Speaker 2>reported that the Knicks had still not reached out, and

4
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:13.919
<v Speaker 2>then this morning that changed. The Knicks this morning apparently

5
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 2>gave the MAVs a call. They had them on speed dial,

6
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 2>and the MAVs, this is in an article, firmly rejected

7
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:23.440
<v Speaker 2>the Knicks request to speak with Jason.

8
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, how firmly.

9
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing that they're going to have to text

10
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Jason directly if they want to talk to him.

11
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Here's what I.

12
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Might take away from this. I'm shocked that the Knicks

13
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 1>decided to fire their coach, who had been more successful

14
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>than any coach they've had in recent history, and then

15
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a plan. It seems like that was an

16
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 1>emotional decision because they reached out to the Timberwolves to

17
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 1>see if they could talk to Finch. They got declined,

18
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>they were denied. They reached out to the Rockets to

19
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>speak to Yudoka. The Rockets are like, yeah, no, thank you,

20
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you're denied. And now they've reached out to the Mavericks

21
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 1>and Maverters like no, we're good. So they're just they

22
00:00:58.560 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>fired their coach without a plan.

23
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 3>I have some theories on this, some thoughts on this.

24
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 3>So this feels very much like James Dolan, who is

25
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 3>probably the most hated sports executive by a fan base

26
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 3>anywhere in all of sports.

27
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>He also co owns the sphere.

28
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 3>I chout, yes, and do you know who? He does

29
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 3>a lot of business with a lot of business with

30
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 3>that factors into this story that we're talking.

31
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 2>About President Clinton. Who would it be?

32
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, Patrick Dumont, thank you. They do a

33
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 3>ton of business together. They're old friends. So as we

34
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>start talking about, you know, so you know, the the

35
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.719
<v Speaker 3>Knicks were firmly rebuffed or whatever. They probably reached out

36
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 3>James Dolan probably reached out to Patrick. They probably had

37
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 3>a conversation. And then this is your new story.

38
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>That's the rockets of the Tea Wolves as well as

39
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 2>well for their coaches, who are more coveted than Jason Kidd.

40
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and so let me just say that everything about

41
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 3>this when you look at Leon Rose is okay. So again,

42
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 3>there's all these ways in which this is connected. There's

43
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Rick Brunson, Jalen Brunson's dad, who had been on Tom

44
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Thibodeau's staff for many years, and he got involved in

45
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 3>some sexual misconduct allegations, which I don't want to I'm

46
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 3>not saying whatever happened. I'm just saying that was a fact,

47
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 3>and he was not coaching for a while because of that. Okay.

48
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 3>So then while he was doing other things and his

49
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>son was playing here in Dallas, Thibodeau went from Minnesota

50
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 3>to eventually a job in New York. And you guys,

51
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 3>remember the Knicks got slapped on the wrist for tampering.

52
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 3>They've already tampered with the Dallas Mavericks and Leon Rose

53
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 3>tampered with Rick Brunson and Jalen Brunson in the league,

54
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 3>took a second round pick away from them. So that's

55
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 3>already happened. So to take it one step further, the

56
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 3>owner of the Knicks is friends with the owner of

57
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 3>the Mavericks. Okay, they're friends that do business together that

58
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 3>had nothing to do with basketball in the past. So

59
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 3>all of this is very incestuous. And we talk about

60
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 3>tampering and what it means. I would be shocked if

61
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Jason Kidd has not been texting with Leon Rose already. Now,

62
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 3>whatever that means or doesn't mean, I'm not saying kids

63
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 3>interested in the job are not. But this is the

64
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 3>way all of this business happens in the NBA. They're

65
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 3>all texting one another, they're all talking, and if they

66
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 3>get busted for tampering, they give up a second round pick.

67
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>And he should be everybody, every coach should keep pipelines

68
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>and bridges built to other opportunities. Absolutely, coaches are hired

69
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>to be fired. That's not a permanent job. And you

70
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>still got to keep working, so you're always networking. So

71
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 1>if I was Jason Kidd, I'd be like, Hey, this

72
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>is awesome. The Knicks want me, Mavericks, give me a

73
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 1>better deal, give me more power, or give me more money,

74
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>give me more stability, or let me talk to them.

75
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and keep in mind being he just got a

76
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 3>contract extra last year, I'm saying because the Lakers were

77
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 3>coming after him to replace Darvin Ham because he won

78
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 3>a title with the Lakers as an assistant coach. He

79
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 3>had already been on that staff. So that's when him

80
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 3>and Nico got extensions after you know, last summer, after

81
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 3>the finals run. So he's already gotten an extension. Uh.

82
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 3>And again, the Mavericks don't have to do anything, just

83
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 3>like Houston didn't do anything, and Minnesota didn't do anything.

84
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 3>And and I will say to me, the best source

85
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 3>on any of this is Mark Stein. Yes, and Mark

86
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Stein has put out there in no uncertain terms, Jason

87
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Kidd is not quote unquote angling for this job, right.

88
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to say this. I like Jason Kidd as

89
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>a coach. I think you just I don't know if

90
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>he wanted Luca to be traded or not. I know

91
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 1>that I've heard different things on that. Yeah, but I

92
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 1>know that this team didn't quit on him. They kept

93
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 1>trying as hard as they could and he didn't quit.

94
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>He didn't punt, and that's extremely valuable. And the fact

95
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 1>that all these other teams won him it's probably a

96
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>sign that he's pretty respected. And I know that the

97
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 1>superstars on this team respect him. So I want him

98
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to stay.

99
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and let me say this too, but the way

100
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>they're currently constructed, and then we'll move on, I want

101
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 3>Kid to stay as the coach too. If they were

102
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>gonna let Kid go, then you could start convincing me

103
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:17.680
<v Speaker 3>to tear the thing down.

104
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Now.

105
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't want that. Okay. I have called games during

106
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 3>a teardown, so just personally speaking, I ain't interested in

107
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 3>that but you can change the way I feel about

108
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 3>things if you start going in a different direction structurally. Yeah.

109
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 1>If they wanted to get rid of an Eco as

110
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 1>well and start trading their veterans and go to a

111
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>different right, Yeah, But I'd rather stay keep this train

112
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>on the tracks. I like where it's going now that

113
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>they got the number one pick. All right, coming up next.

114
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday we talked about the greatest dads in movie history.

115
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Now we're talking about the greatest TV dads ever. We

116
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>also got some Ranger stuff coming your way and a

117
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 1>strange name for a campaign. All that's next, don't miss it.

118
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>It's coming up right here on ninety seven point one.

119
00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 2>The Eagle
