Speaker 3: Dog the Bulldog has some breaking news this morning. You
Speaker 3: can read all about it my column Orlando Sentinel dot com.
Speaker 3: A massive leadership change within the Orlando Magic Organization. Longtime
Speaker 3: CEO Alex Martin is departing as the CEO as the
Speaker 3: club begins making the transition to the third generation of
Speaker 3: the Devas family running the team. Martin's is stepping down
Speaker 3: from his role fourteen years he's been the CEO. He's
Speaker 3: transitioning into a newly created position of vice chair whatever
Speaker 3: that means, So he's no longer going to be running
Speaker 3: the day to day operations. Ryan de Voss, the grandson
Speaker 3: of Rich de Vos, steps into a larger leadership role.
Speaker 3: He's going to be the quote managing director. Charlie Freeman,
Speaker 3: who's been with the Magic for about thirty years, he's
Speaker 3: the new president of business operations, and another Rich Davos grandson,
Speaker 3: Cole Devs, will relocate to Orlando at the beginning of
Speaker 3: the next season to become part of the management team
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 2: This all as the NBA Draft starts tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, Yes, a new leadership change within the Magic.
Speaker 3: We'll see how that works out. You can read my
Speaker 3: column about Alex Martin's at Orlando Sentinel dot com. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the NBA Draft tips off tonight. Cooper Flag of Duke
Speaker 3: obviously going to be the number one overall pick. The
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks will get him. Where the where the Magic
Speaker 3: go with their number twenty five pick. Nobody knows, although
Speaker 3: although there are a lot of mock drafts who think
Speaker 3: that Walter Clayton Junior, the Gators star point guard who
Speaker 3: led them to the national championship, could be available at
Speaker 3: number twenty five. I mean, I would love to see
Speaker 3: the Magic get Walter Clayton Junior. I don't know that
Speaker 3: they really need another young player.
Speaker 1: Do you think he'd want to stick here in Florida
Speaker 1: for that little tie?
Speaker 3: I think he'd like to. Yeah, I think he wants
Speaker 3: to get drafted in the first round.
Speaker 2: Get that in the whole New state income. Texting is
Speaker 2: a big perk as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he would love to stay in Florida.
Speaker 3: He's from Florida. He grew up in South Florida, So yeah,
Speaker 3: I think he would love to stay in Florida. Will
Speaker 3: the Magic take him? I don't know. Heck they ye know.
Speaker 3: Last week we thought they were going to have two
Speaker 3: first round draft picks, but of course they traded a
Speaker 3: bunch of draft picks to get Desmond baned of the
Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzlies here, so now they only have the one
Speaker 3: draft pick at number twenty five.
Speaker 2: They really they are in no position to wheel and
Speaker 2: deal and move about in this after that move right.
Speaker 3: No, no, Okay. One of the reasons they traded all
Speaker 3: those first round draft picks for Desmond Vane, well, a,
Speaker 3: Desmond Vane's a good player and one of the best
Speaker 3: three point shooters in the league. But the other reason
Speaker 3: is because they already have a bunch of young players
Speaker 3: on their team. You know, they have Anthony Black who
Speaker 3: they're still developing, Jeed Howard, Tristan da Silva, so you know,
Speaker 3: they don't there's not really a lot of room on
Speaker 3: the roster to develop another young player. But again, at
Speaker 3: number twenty five, if you could get a Walter Clayton junior,
Speaker 3: who's a great three point shooter in his own right,
Speaker 3: you know, plus he'd be popular with the fans.
Speaker 1: So dude, I see no problem with developing one more,
Speaker 1: one more youngster while you're doing the others. Just throw
Speaker 1: them in there as well. Look at ok see what
Speaker 1: they were able to pull off, you know, with the
Speaker 1: young young squad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about ok see yesterday. Okay see,
Speaker 3: even though they're the best team in the league and
Speaker 3: the youngest team in the league and the championship team,
Speaker 3: they still have a bevy of draft picks. They have
Speaker 3: two first round draft picks ahead of the Magic's number twenty.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: You see him on that parade float yesterday and you think, wait,
Speaker 1: should we card a few of these guys that are
Speaker 1: squirting all the watching?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was watching that parade. When you guys watch parades,
Speaker 3: I mean, you've been in Orlando a lot longer than
Speaker 3: I have. I get jealous a little bit when I
Speaker 3: see all these teams, you know, you know the Panthers
Speaker 3: with their victory parade, and then you know, well Orlando
Speaker 3: to have a victory.
Speaker 1: We did one for the parade for the Pride thirty.
Speaker 2: I was at that.
Speaker 3: I was at that one.
Speaker 4: It wasn't very stopping. Stop talking. Hey, did you see
Speaker 4: this ugly incident yesterday that happened during the Arizona Diamondbacks
Speaker 4: in Chicago White Sox game.
Speaker 3: Who are these these fams?
Speaker 2: This is despicable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this I'm trying to find a guy's name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's their second basement for the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he you know, his mom died in a car
Speaker 3: crash in twenty seventeen, and I guess some loser fan
Speaker 3: was heckling him about his mom's death, and the guy
Speaker 3: just started sobbing. The player started sobbing on the field,
Speaker 3: and of course the fan got thrown out. But who
Speaker 3: would even think to do that? What the vermin would
Speaker 3: think to do? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Did you either of you guys? Probably did.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw, but Aaron Rodgers come
Speaker 1: out about how the public just feels like they have
Speaker 1: access to everything. Now, did you hear anything about that?
Speaker 3: He was, Yeah, he was on the Pat McAfee show
Speaker 3: yesterday complaining because you know, he hasn't identified who his
Speaker 3: new wife is, and you know, it's become sort of
Speaker 3: a story. The guy's weird, weird because he won't tell
Speaker 3: anybody who his wife is. Yeah, because she's never been
Speaker 3: a public figure. He's like, Hey, I watched the whole interview,
Speaker 3: and and shur I'm a you know, geek for McAfee
Speaker 3: and and and you know the crew there. But he
Speaker 3: kind of had a really good point, your public figure,
Speaker 3: you're in the eye. Sorry, but let her be off
Speaker 3: to the side. She's never been there.
Speaker 1: And then he went on to say that he's gonna
Speaker 1: pretty much retire after the season.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Probably should have retired before the season.
Speaker 3: He wants to be a private person. Okay, right, then
Speaker 3: don't then don't do Netflix series about your relationships in
Speaker 3: the past.
Speaker 1: Okay, I knew I was walking on minefield.
