WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.759 All right, let's get it. It is drivetime. So Thursday afternoon, 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:07.320 it's about ten minutes past the hour of two o'clock. 3 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:10.960 A little warmer today than it was yesterday. Nonetheless, still 4 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.560 a little chili. It's about fifty five degrees cloudy here 5 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:16.320 in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. 6 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.480 Conditions will improve throughout the course. 7 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.039 Of the week into a pretty decent Saturday and maybe 8 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:23.160 a little chili Sunday. 9 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.320 But look, Thursday, you're almost there. 10 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.600 Weekend is almost upon us, and as it is every 11 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.079 single day, it's gonna have you long for the ride. 12 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.600 Spence check, it's being behind the mic. That's Port Larson 13 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.719 behind the glass today with a bunch of topics to tackle. 14 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.240 A bunch of topics to get to PGA Championship Round one. 15 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:47.079 Quail Hollow Golf Club and Charlotte, North Carolina. Big Stories, 16 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.320 Jordan's speeth chasing the Queer Grand Slam. Jordan is not 17 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.719 one on the PGA Tour for quite some time, and 18 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:59.280 can Rory McElroy win back to back majors. Something happened 19 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.840 today at the PGA Championship that you may never see again. 20 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:04.480 Real quick. 21 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.120 Tony Fenaw is one hunder par our local golfer in 22 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.280 the clubhouse with a seventy, which is a solid score 23 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:11.760 and puts. 24 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.200 Him in the top thirty. See what he can do tomorrow. 25 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.120 But on sixteen, the three best golfers in the world 26 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.359 all double bogie. Scottie Scheffler Xander Schaffle as well as 27 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.640 the aforementioned Rory McElroy carted double bogies each on the 28 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.040 sixteenth hole. So we have a major going on right 29 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.079 now in the world of professional golf. As of today, 30 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.519 it is one hundred days until week zero. You guys know, 31 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.680 I love the countdown for college football. One hundred days away. 32 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.879 College football will be here before you know what. We're 33 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.400 gonna do some college football on the program today, and 34 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.799 of course, the NBA Playoffs roll along a couple of 35 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.359 duds last night, though, the Nick Scott Dog walks by 36 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.280 the Celtics without Jason Tatum, and the Minnesota Timberwolves sent 37 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.879 the Golden State Warriors home as well. He Wolves advance 38 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.879 to the Western Conference Finals for the second straight year, 39 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.400 and the New York Knicks will have an opportunity to 40 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.199 eliminate the Boston Celtics tomorrow at six o'clock Mountain time 41 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.840 at the world's most famous arena in Madison Square Garden 42 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.960 in Mintown, Manhattan, New York, has been installed as a 43 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.759 slight two point five point favorite. In that game tonight, 44 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.759 Denver tries to stay alive. It's a new day and 45 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.240 age in the world of pro basketball. We'll talk about 46 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.800 that coming up in a bit. Denver up against it. 47 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.199 They're at home at Ball Arena. Okay, see, we'll try 48 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.599 to advance to the Western Conference Finals for the first 49 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:36.960 time since twenty sixteen. 50 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.599 It's only one game tonight. We're approaching the. 51 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.560 Finish line when it comes to multiple games almost every 52 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.879 single night in the world odd professional basketball, which is 53 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:50.560 always sad. 54 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.199 Jordan Speed, by. 55 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.800 The way, is one over. It just showed his score. 56 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.800 So we'll see if Jordan can make this interesting this weekend. 57 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.759 So a lot to do on the prom the latest. 58 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.560 With the offseason for the Utah Jazz, probably time to 59 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:08.199 start looking concretely at what could be available for the 60 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.439 Jazz at five, as opposed to just crying that they 61 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:11.159 didn't move up. 62 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.360 So we'll get to some of the prospects. 63 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.240 That we might need to become familiar with prior to 64 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.120 June twenty fifth, when the NBA draft is held, of course, 65 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.879 just a couple of days after that, the NHL Draft 66 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.400 will go down to the Utah Hockey Club, in their 67 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.039 first year of existence, received luck that the Jazz have 68 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.800 not received in fifty years of existence. Utah Hockey Club 69 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.280 will draft fourth overall, so we'll get to some offseason 70 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.360 hockey as well. Stanley Cup playoffs going around. It was 71 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.680 a great game last night, but Edmonton eliminated the Vegas 72 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.919 Golden Knights in overtime. One zero your final score there, 73 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.080 but at least there was a goal because RSL cannot 74 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.240 seem to find the back of the net. It was 75 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.360 watching paint dry last night as Portland was in town. Yes, 76 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.360 it draws better than a loss, but neither team really 77 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.759 threatened quite frankly. I mean, Rapacabral had a couple of 78 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.360 saves at the end, but RSL with a scoreless draw. 79 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:07.759 And now they hit the road. It's time for the 80 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.680 Rocky Mountain Cup. I know you guys are pumped. RSL 81 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.240 Colorado Saturday at seven point thirty on MLS Season passed 82 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:17.279 on Apple Television. 83 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.800 So a lot to do on the program today. 84 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.279 Schedule release day in pro football has a lot of 85 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:29.480 football fans extremely excited. Probably won't do anything on that today, 86 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.279 but hey, now you know who your favorite NFL team 87 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:33.639 is going to play right out of the gates or 88 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.519 out the course of the season. Our first guest today 89 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.879 will be Tony Jones. Tony wrote a really good piece 90 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.079 on what the Jazz have in front of them now 91 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.480 that we know that it's the number five pick overall. 92 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.800 He's also covering the Denver Nuggets. So we will do 93 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.959 some playoffs with Tony. We'll do some jazz and some 94 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.959 draft with Tony right out of the gates today. Alema Harrington, 95 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.240 my guy a train who at this point has been 96 00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.720 doing jazz pre affro post on TV for a number 97 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.160 of year. Alema has done a little bit of everything 98 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.720 in media. He was even on sports talk radio radio 99 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.439 for a while. Of course, play college football at BYU, 100 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:09.160 So do some college football. 101 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:09.480 We'll do some. 102 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.319 We'll do some jazz with a Lemma, and then we'll 103 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.439 get alemas take on Brian Santiago, who was introduced as 104 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.600 the athletic director at BYU yesterday during that press conference. 105 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.399 So Alema will stop by then. 106 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.079 It's been a minute since we've been able to catch 107 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.399 up with our buddy Zach Harper from the Athletic He'll 108 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.959 stop by for some NBA Daily Assist stuff. We'll do 109 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.439 some sports core with our friends from Handy and Handy, 110 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.319 and we'll go from there on a jam pack busy 111 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.120 Thursday edition of the radio program. Tony Jones, Alema Harrington, 112 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.959 Zach Harper, our friends from Handy and Handy, Me Spence Check. 113 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.120 It's all of you, the great listeners, and that guy 114 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.120 Porter Larson. What up on a Thursday afternoon, Boston eight 115 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.000 and two without Tatum? 116 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:51.199 You know? 117 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.199 I was watching after the show, rushed home so I 118 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.399 could watch as much of the game as I could, 119 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.240 and I made sure to tag the pregame stuff so 120 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.120 I could watch with a coach or coaches were saying 121 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.319 prior to the start of the game. Joe Mizula said 122 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.240 something that caught me completely off guard. He said, we 123 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:11.160 feel horrible with what happened with JT meaning Jason Tatum, 124 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.000 but we have a very interesting schematic opportunity. Now he 125 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.120 didn't elaborate, but when you watch the way they played 126 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.240 last night, like Jalen Brown's a bit of an ISO player, 127 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.360 but Tatum is the only. 128 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.160 Ball stopper on that team. 129 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.279 They moved the ball really well, and obviously a lot 130 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.279 of this has to do with what the Knicks did 131 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.120 not do, but no part of me is confident this 132 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.800 thing is over after watching what happened last night. 133 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.959 Well and what Joe Mizzoula is alluding to, if not 134 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.920 something very specific, right, maybe not like a specific play 135 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.519 or scheme they're going to run. It's more so the 136 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.759 fact that you just you don't. You have ten games 137 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.600 of tape on the Celtics without Jason Tatum. You look 138 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.839 back on all their runs, the way they play is 139 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.680 with Jason Tatum. That's something you have to adjust to 140 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.399 as a basketball team, and we're going to I'll see 141 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.800 if Tom Thibodeau can do. So. I still spence like, 142 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.399 I understand that logic and as a coach, you're always 143 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.720 gonna look for those silver linings, and I do agree 144 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.959 there are some schematic advantages to it, but at the 145 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.920 end of the day, there is no net benefit, no 146 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.680 net positive to losing your six foot nine best perimeter 147 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.000 wing on your roster. So you know, at that point 148 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.360 the Knicks just have to show up and at the 149 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.959 end of the day not lose three straight and then 150 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.600 they'll get out of there, and I think they're capable 151 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.839 of doing so even if there is, you know, a 152 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.519 little adjustment to no Tatum Celtics. 153 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.199 I hope you're right, man. I feel like they have 154 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:41.879 to win tomorrow. 155 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:42.800 I do too. 156 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:43.480 I do too. 157 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.279 I will be I haven't no, I don't know. I 158 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.720 have not nervous watched a game in maybe years. And 159 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.040 if they go to Boston for Game seven, I will 160 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:52.600 be a wreck. 161 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:54.959 I am not built for Game seven like I will be. 162 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.839 I will be beside myself. I'll be in stitches. But 163 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.480 I kind of think j Jalen Rudson mckel Bridges, those 164 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.879 guys kind of seem like they're built for it. 165 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:05.959 So hey, I don't know, let's do it. I hope 166 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:06.360 you're right. 167 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.920 I'm just watching these series through the eyes of man. 168 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.160 I just hope Jazz fans have this opportunity soon. 169 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.240 It's so fun watching the team you love play playoff basketball. 170 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.680 I don't know when it's going to be back, hopefully soon. 171 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.920 All right, maybe Tony Jones can shut some light on this. 172 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.959 But before we get the TJ on a Thursday Curtis, 173 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.560 courtesy of our good friends at Prize Picks, it is 174 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.000 time now for your opening tip. 175 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.120 Welcome to the Drive with Spence Check its on Utah's 176 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.519 number one Sports talk now into the studios of ESPN 177 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.159 seven hundred to set the scene for the show.

Minnesota is one of those cities a little 221 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.879 bit like Salt Lake, where it's kind of been long 222 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.960 suffering waiting for a team to win a championship. And 223 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.240 obviously they have Pro football and Pro baseball, but I 224 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:29.120 think it was the ringer that sent out the stat Minnesota. 225 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.240 The Timberwolves are now in the Final four for back 226 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.080 to back seasons, and it's the first Minnesota team to 227 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.039 do that since like nineteen eighty two, and I think 228 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.240 it was their hockey team that actually did it back 229 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.919 in the day. So the city of Minnesota celebrating watching 230 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.919 their team go to the Western Conference finals, and I 231 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.639 just couldn't help but be struck watching Stephen Curry on 232 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.039 the bench, you know, kind of watch the whole thing unfold. 233 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.399 Like we were talking earlier about how the Celtics seemed 234 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.039 to be built with depth and top end talent to 235 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.799 overcome the loss of really any of their players, even 236 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.279 Jason Tatum, who's awesome. 237 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:03.879 I love Tatum, He's a great player. 238 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.600 Boston looks connected still, Golden State looks lost without Stephen Curry. 239 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.120 And I don't know what the deal was this series 240 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.960 with Jimmy Butler, who just never was fully engaged and 241 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.360 never fully got involved. He's a former Timberwolf. He got 242 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.360 booed every time he touched the ball. I don't know 243 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.759 if that dissuaded him from being a dominant offensive player 244 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.440 and they needed him to be. Without Stephan Curry, their 245 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.879 only chance was Jimmy Butler to look like Jimmy Butler 246 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.879 did two years ago when he almost single handily took 247 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.759 the Miami Heat to the NBA Finals. But he was 248 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.399 you know, last night was about Brandon Pajemski and Jonathan Kaminga. 249 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.639 They were the only two Warriors. They were even kind 250 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:42.240 of aggressive. 251 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.200 Moses Moody gave them some good, good minutes, you know, 252 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.519 in the fourth quarter off the bench, but the game 253 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:52.440 was essentially over by then. Draymond was okay. Defensively, he 254 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.600 was who he usually is. But this is to me, 255 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.840 this loss really is something you look at with Jimmy 256 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.559 Butler and like, dude, where were you of eleven? 257 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:02.919 Was not aggressive at all? 258 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.080 And Minnesota, as we've talked about, has a ton of big, 259 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.200 physical wings that are two way guys that. 260 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:11.360 Can cause a lot of issues. 261 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:16.559 But my bigger takeaway is are we done watching Stephen 262 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.200 Curry play basketball in the spring late into the spring. 263 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.120 Will we ever see another long Steph Curry run in 264 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.399 NBA playoff basketball. You know, it's kind of interesting when 265 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.159 you consider who's at home now and even if you 266 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.240 look at what could happen tonight, I'm not riding off 267 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.200 the Nuggets yet. I would not do that with a 268 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:38.000 generational player like Nicola Jokic, but it would be difficult 269 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.000 for Denver to win the next two games to send 270 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.240 okayc home. So if Denver is not able to make 271 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:47.080 a pretty remarkable comeback, Jokic will be out, Stephan Curry 272 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:51.120 will be out, Kawhi Leonard is out, Lebron James is out. 273 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.679 Like this is the changing of the guard officially in 274 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.120 the world of professional basketball. 275 00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:58.840 Kevin Durant didn't even make the playoffs. 276 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.960 I mean, all of the old guard that we become 277 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:04.720 accustomed to watching dominate the NBA this time of year, 278 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.120 they're all done, most of them at least, and we 279 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.000 could see a couple of them go home as well. 280 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.919 So now it's the arrival of one Anthony Edwards. 281 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.679 And it's not like ant is new on the scene, 282 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.320 but it does feel like Minnesota has something that maybe 283 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.639 nobody was given them a lot of credit for. I 284 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.639 will give I think it was McMahon. It may have 285 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:25.559 been mcminiman, one of our NBA guys. A couple of 286 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.679 weeks left in the regular season, the conversation of the 287 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.559 NBA is do we even need the playoffs or is it. 288 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.200 Just going to be Oklahoma City and Boston in the finals. 289 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.559 And it may have been Dave who said, watch watch 290 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.639 out for Minnesota as they get fully healthy and has 291 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.440 they become accustomed to playing with each other. That's a 292 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.120 team that has a lot of what you need. They're 293 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.120 really well coached, as I referenced, in the modern day 294 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.840 and age of NBA basketball, and this is something the 295 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:51.840 Jazz have to find. 296 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.120 They don't have it right now. 297 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.080 And if we're honest, they didn't really have it with 298 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.320 Donovan and Rudy and that team because Mike Conley is 299 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.759 six to one Donovan sixty three. When you look at Minnesota, 300 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.240 it just our starting lineup they do. And by the way, 301 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.120 let's give Mike Conley some love today, former Jazz man 302 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.759 who was awesome last night. Sixteen points, eight assists, six rebounds, 303 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.799 knocked down four of six threes, hit like a thirty footer. 304 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.840 When Mike looks like that for them, it makes them different, okay, 305 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.240 But outside of Mike who's six to one, Aunt is 306 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.879 six to six, Julius Randall is six', Nine jade McDaniels 307 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.200 is six 's, eight and obviously Go bear is seven to. 308 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.519 Two like they have a huge team that makes it 309 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.120 really problematic for a team like The. 310 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.679 Warriors who's best big. 311 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.480 Is Kevon looney who half the time looks like he's 312 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.159 lost and he's never played basketball. Before and off the, 313 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.600 Bench Nas reed is six,' Ten Nikhil alexander walker, Six' 314 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:46.440 five dante divincenzo's, only sixty three but. He plays big 315 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:49.919 he's a. Good rebounding guard love the competitive spare. With 316 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:53.000 that kid and we Need To give julius randall a 317 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.200 little bit of credit because As as, a Nick Fan 318 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.039 watching julius randall be a black hole over and over 319 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:03.559 and over and Essentially Be the Achilles heel for nick 320 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.000 teams in the past when. They traded him i'm not a. 321 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.159 Huge cat guy We'll get. To Cat Later but julius 322 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.360 randall and, his efficiency numbers they've nearly Been tripled for 323 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.600 minnesota then what it Was. With, the knicks now The 324 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.120 caveat is minnesota has ant and for, The Most part 325 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.960 julius randall was relied upon to be the main offensive 326 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.600 cod for JUST an. Average nick team so he has 327 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.559 better teammates than he did for the Most Part. 328 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.039 In new york but he has caught me. 329 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.759 Completely Off guard now ant is, their best player But 330 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.600 At times julius randall has looked like. Their, best player, 331 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.679 so you Know if You're Minnesota and tim conley, their 332 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.320 general manager a lot of people were surprised they Moved. 333 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:45.519 On from cat now they had some financial implications they 334 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:47.759 had to, keep in mind and a lot of people 335 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.600 were surprised they Could only Parlay Cat into Julius Randall. 336 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:53.039 And dante DiVincenzo he took a lot of heat, for 337 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:54.879 the trade but it looks like, it's worked out at, 338 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.960 least So far because dante last night, was really good 339 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.879 although he struggled a little bit throughout. The Postseason, run but, 340 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.919 randall my goodness has been a. Total total beast now on, 341 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.639 the other side it could be one of the trades 342 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.159 that works out. 343 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:08.799 For both teams so last night was Not a. 344 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:11.759 Great cat game he, had nineteen points he, had eight 345 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.799 rebounds but he did not look like he, was you, know. 346 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.759 You know as engaged as. He has been he's had. 347 00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:20.519 A good playoffs he's actually played better in THE playoffs 348 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.240 than i was expecting. Him to play one of the 349 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.000 things that bade me a little bit nervous about That 350 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.960 trade is cat is a Little, bit like donovan where 351 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.480 when the moment is the biggest they don't seem. To 352 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.799 meet it but when it comes to the flow of 353 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.639 just a game where there's not a, lot at stake 354 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.480 when you're just kind of playing, in, the first, second 355 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.399 third quarters they put. Up Big numbers but kat's been 356 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.360 pretty Good. For the knicks he wasn't. Great Last night 357 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.320 my man ogn andob he could not. Hit a shot 358 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:47.399 one of twelve mckel bridge is. Four or fourteen boston and. 359 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.399 THEIR defensive effort i don't know Who The hell luke cornett. 360 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.360 THINKS he, is i mean He Looked. Like Bill russell 361 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.759 my man had. Seven block Shots I'll give joe missoula 362 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.000 a ton of credit For realizing. THE kristaps porzingis i 363 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.519 don't know what's Going on with there's been this illness 364 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:03.720 thing that kept him out of Eight. 365 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:05.680 Games in march he does, not look right could not. 366 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.480 Make a shot he had a Single point and, missoula, 367 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.400 was like fine if you're not going, to be engaged. 368 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.839 You're not playing in, Twenty Six minutes luke cornett went 369 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:15.920 five to Five. From the florid he, had ten, points 370 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:19.000 nine rebounds and. Seven, block shots like who? Is this 371 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.240 dude he changed the scope Of everything for. Boston last 372 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.640 night and ultimately this comes down to the System Of, 373 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:28.279 The BOSTON celtics, and i said to, start the, series 374 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.160 you know to, start the series there's gonna be One 375 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.559 game where boston goes like twenty of forty from three 376 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.160 And beats the. Knicks by thirty well that game. Was 377 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.240 last night there were twenty two of forty. Nine from 378 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.920 three They beat the knicks. By twenty five they are 379 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.000 plus ninety in the series from the. Three point line 380 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.839 but really it was their intense defensive effort that caught me. 381 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.359 Mostly off guard even though they have some, good defensive 382 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:55.799 players they just looked More Engaged, without JASON tatum which 383 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:57.400 i think caught a lot of. People off Guard so 384 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.240 the knicks go Back to the garden tomorrow night to 385 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.079 see if They can send celtics home and Go To 386 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.880 The eastern conference finals for the first time since the 387 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.960 year two thousand that year They Played, the indiana pacers 388 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.039 and It Is the indiana pacers awaiting the winner of 389 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:11.799 this Series For The. 390 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.839 Eastern conference.

YOUR basketball knowledge i 426 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.559 LAST night after i, signed off air RUSHED home so 427 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.359 i could get get, to THE game and i made 428 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:52.680 made it a point to tag the PREGAME stuff so 429 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.119 i could listen to The coaches and missoula said something 430 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.000 to completely smack me, across the face, and, he said 431 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.160 look we're all gutted about What Happened, with jason tatum 432 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:06.440 but it does give us. A schematic opportunity what do you, think, 433 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.000 he meant. 434 00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:17.599 Well schematic opportunity To Get getting luke cornette. On the floor, and, 435 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.079 you know uh he, provided rem protection but you know 436 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:29.400 he's also provided uh. A LOB threat and i thought 437 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.400 that that. Was really big and you know they did 438 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.160 some you know they did. Some, matchup changes, uh you 439 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:42.319 know they They Went with jaylen Brown On. On, jalen 440 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:50.000 brunson uh they They Threw uh derek. Kwhite into help 441 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:55.960 but the, biggest, schematic change Uh They put Drew Holliday On. 442 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.880 Karl anthony towns, AND you know i know people, are, 443 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.240 thinking like yeah. That's a mismatch. That's a mismatch but 444 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.640 we All know that kat. Loves the perimeter so the thinking, 445 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.400 with that, was you know he squeezes off the perimeter 446 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:15.960 and you know he fights his tail off in the 447 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:20.160 paint and You know, if kat goes you know, into 448 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:23.480 the post then they just lived with. Some contested twoes 449 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:32.079 so they did some, pretty dramatic matchups which, is last, 450 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:36.119 night you know and You Know obviously derek white, got 451 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:40.240 really hot had, thirty four points and, Then You, know jaylen, 452 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.119 brown you, know got hot you know in. The second, 453 00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:47.359 half you, know but yeah we gotta get it. Done 454 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:51.759 tomorrow night we just just have to, just you know 455 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.839 grind for forty eight minutes and get. This, series, Finished 456 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:56.119 yeah no. 457 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.319 I'm with, you you know, it's just man when when 458 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:02.680 you look At, the way Boston, even without tatum is 459 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:04.000 able to space the floor that. 460 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.480 Five out stuff it doesn't really change. 461 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:09.079 All That much and tatum is really the only ball 462 00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:11.839 stopper they have. On the, ROSTER and Look, i love 463 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.519 tatum that's, not a Criticism but without, Tatum, out there, 464 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.480 tony to me it felt like the ball was just 465 00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:17.559 moving in a way that. 466 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:19.720 Sometimes it doesn't does, That, make, SENSE. 467 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:25.400 No absolutely i mean it. Does make sense, and you 468 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.880 know the, thing is, that You Know, without jason tatum 469 00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.279 you know YOU kind, of i mean You Obviously know 470 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.319 jaln brown's going to take a, lot of shots but 471 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:41.559 it because the offense becomes a lot. More equal opportunity and, 472 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:44.119 you you know if you do something like that hits 473 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.839 in the middle, of a series you don't necessarily have a, 474 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:51.480 chance to, really you know scout for it and, prepare 475 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.240 for it, especially you know by. The next game, and 476 00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:00.559 you know so the the what the nick have to 477 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:06.039 take into, Tomorrow, is that okay. Now there's Film now 478 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:09.440 the celtics have put what they're Gonna Do without jason. 479 00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:14.480 Tatum on film now you have to prepare. In that way, 480 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.440 so you Know It's on tom thibodeau and his staff 481 00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:23.039 to come up with, the necessary adjustments uh to kind 482 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:25.880 of counter some of the movement and some of The 483 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:30.920 sets that boston hit Them with. On wednesday, night all. 484 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.160 Right let's move over to the other game, from last 485 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.359 night and then we'll get a preview of the.

Realm of 550 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.880 possibility You Know that golden state, could you Know win 551 00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:28.920 the west OR win another Nba Championship because steph Curry Is. 552 00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:32.640 Still steph curry but they, definitely have, to you know 553 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.079 go and get some spacing and build some some guys Around. 554 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.559 HIM and jimmy i, think they, have you know the 555 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.400 two most important, pieces in place and they just have 556 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:42.759 to kind of try to build On. 557 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:45.759 That interesting tony before we. 558 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:50.319 Get to tonight, as Of, now No, giannis No, dame No, 559 00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:55.359 lebron No, steph No, durant NO kawhi, no PG, thirteen 560 00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:58.319 no Mbd And. NO anthony davis i could keep going 561 00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:01.200 and Then, We've got Aunt, we've got halliburton Hopefully We'll. 562 00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:04.000 Have jalen, bronson Of course the boston guys have BEEN. 563 00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.920 There before sga are we kind of finally seeing maybe 564 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.599 officially the change. 565 00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:12.240 In pro basketball from the old guard TO the. 566 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:16.759 New i don't think it's so much OF that as 567 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.160 i think we're seeing the CHANGE from the cba to 568 00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:28.000 where the teams that are going to advance in the 569 00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:31.920 playoffs are the teams that have a, bunch of guys not. 570 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:36.400 Just three guys so You, look at, indiana you know 571 00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:39.240 they don't have a guy that, we'll, be like yeah that's. 572 00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:42.920 That's the guy they. Got ten, guys you know they 573 00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:45.960 have ten guys who you can throw on the floor 574 00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:49.680 credibly in. A playoff series that's the reason Why, they 575 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:54.720 Beat cleveland because cleveland. Had Seven Guys if Oklahoma, city 576 00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:58.160 beats denver it's because they have nine guys that they 577 00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:01.279 could play. In this, Series right now denver has five 578 00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:03.920 guys that they can play. In this series, they're playing 579 00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.119 seven they're putting seven, on the floor but they only 580 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.599 have five for a real. Actual playoff players Same. Thing 581 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.279 with minnesota minnesota's got nine. To ten, guys you know 582 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:19.240 the only team that's remaining that doesn't have nine or 583 00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:25.720 Ten Guys. Is new york so it's not a shift 584 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:31.279 from you Know the old Guard because if steph, had 585 00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.000 you know as deep a team as In, the as, 586 00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.799 indiana you know they would have the same chance of going. 587 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.000 To the finals Same. Thing with lebron so it's not 588 00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:44.519 a change for the old guard Because, the old, guard 589 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:47.839 you know, by and large those guys are, still you 590 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.799 know in the top ten. In the, League you know 591 00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:53.640 lebron's still a. Top ten player steph McCurry is still a. 592 00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:58.680 Top ten player it's THIS. With the cba you gotta, 593 00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:02.200 have depth now and you got to. Have quality depth 594 00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:05.720 and if you don't, have quality depth, then you know 595 00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:10.240 at this point, in all likelihood with so many possessions, 596 00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:13.240 in a game you're probably Gonna, go home. 597 00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:17.880 Earland all right moving, Over To tonight oklahoma city is. 598 00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:20.559 Getting five points the line opened up at four and 599 00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:23.039 a half and it's Moved. Towards ok see they're a 600 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.920 five point Favorite tonight in denver and obviously, if they. 601 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:29.920 Win they advance so your thoughts on what you've seen 602 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:31.880 so far in the series and how do you think it? 603 00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:34.119 Plays out tonight well on. 604 00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.440 The Line Moving towards Oklahoma City because jamal murray is questionable, 605 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.240 with the nailness so even, if he plays there's a 606 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:47.359 chance that he's he's a. Little bit compromised, BUT you 607 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:53.759 know i think that this series ENDS tonight because i think, That, 608 00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:57.039 you KNOW denver, like i said only has, five, playable 609 00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.759 guys really, and you know, the you know this series 610 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.599 has gone every other day, through Its Duration and denver's 611 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.200 denver played pretty much every other day through the duration 612 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:13.039 of their first round Win Against The. Los angeles clippers, 613 00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:16.680 SO you know i Don't think the nuggets have much left. 614 00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:20.480 In the, TANK you know i think it's obviously if 615 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:24.079 They had, won game five it would have been. A 616 00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:30.240 different thing but you know The Fact that oklahoma city is, 617 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.200 so much deeper and they have so, many more bodies 618 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:35.759 and they're so, much more fresh and they have so, 619 00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:38.799 much more energy especially down the stretch, IN fourth quarters 620 00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:40.599 i think this, series ends. 621 00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:43.480 Tonight all right moving Over to the jazz with the 622 00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:45.799 remaining time, we Have, left and tony SINCE you and 623 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.200 I last, spoke monday nights lottery, came and went and 624 00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.880 obviously A lot of jazz, fans VERY disappointed. Which i 625 00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.960 understand the fact of, the matter is, as you know 626 00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:58.640 the most likely scenario based off the percentages was not 627 00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.680 one it was either, four or five and, they landed 628 00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.359 five which, was their floor. Which is unfortunate but WHAT 629 00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:07.279 sort of i would Sort of info intel do you 630 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.440 have out there as far as what sort of players 631 00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:11.759 could be? Available At five and, i'll ask you what 632 00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.480 do you think best case scenario scenario Is for the 633 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:15.680 jazz at five coming up. 634 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:16.559 In, THE draft. 635 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.920 Yeah i don't think, IT'S you know i don't think 636 00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.400 it's the tragedy if they. Landed their five there are 637 00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:26.759 five really good players, in the draft so you know 638 00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:31.920 they're gonna get. A good, player you know, it's you 639 00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:36.279 know if they didn't the Thing that the jazz that 640 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.039 the tank wasn't for the, for the ceiling it was. 641 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:43.480 For the floor, and you know they wanted to get 642 00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.759 the number one spot in. The lottery balls so the 643 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.400 farthest say and fall with spots and with the farthest say, 644 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.039 Fall being, Five they're fine they're gonna get a. Really 645 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.440 good player they're either gonna get uh be They Ask. 646 00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:01.359 FROM drey Johnson I mean trey Johnson, or or acetalley 647 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:05.759 either one of those guys are are really good players 648 00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:12.599 with really high ceilings with. With star, CEILINGS you know 649 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:17.680 I think as bailly's floor is more volatile than than trades. 650 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:24.079 And and DJs his his lowest outcome is is a 651 00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:27.759 lot more, volatile than that but it's probably also has 652 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.640 the highest, outcome as well because he has. A superstar outcome, 653 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:37.839 so you know obviously the disappointment is you Know that 654 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:38.839 the jazz fell all the. 655 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:38.960 Way. 656 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:44.759 To five uh the further disappointment is that Obviously it 657 00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:48.079 was Dallas And in San antonio and. Philly moving up, 658 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:53.440 but you know if if you take the emotion, out of, 659 00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:57.440 it you know it's it's a fine. Spot to land 660 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:01.640 there are five very good players. In, This draft jazz 661 00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:04.359 we're gonna get one of them because they. Landed at five, 662 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:09.360 so you know it's it's not it's not. A doomsday 663 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.519 thing and you know they're they're gonna end up getting. 664 00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:16.639 A good. Player you know my guess is that It's 665 00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:21.599 Gonna be ACE bailey because I THINK. The v j 666 00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:25.400 ashcombe is gonna Go third to Philly if if philly, 667 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:29.400 keeps the PICK and then, i, think That Uh that 668 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:34.199 charlotte hornet is Gonna Pick between Trey Johnson, and conkin nepple, 669 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.559 and you know and, that'll leave uh that Will leave 670 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.559 Either trey or Ace. 671 00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:42.480 To the jets so what tell me your Opinion Of, 672 00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:45.599 of trey johnson who appears to be shooting up draft 673 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:48.039 boards by a, lot of, uh you know a lot, 674 00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:49.800 of mock drafts a lot of scouts. To do this 675 00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:53.280 gavoni's latest ask trade to six at the at the Six. 676 00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:56.760 Of the wizards He has The Jazz taking jeremiah. Fears, at, 677 00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:59.679 five so uh give me Your take on trey because 678 00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:01.360 it seems like a lot of people think he might 679 00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:02.599 sneak into maybe even. 680 00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:02.679 The. 681 00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:03.360 TOP three. 682 00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.519 Yeah i think trey has a Chance To. Be devin booker, 683 00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:15.480 he's he's uh he's him in, aceh to me you 684 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:18.519 are the best shot makers. In the draft he's, six 685 00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:19.000 for five. 686 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:19.320 Six. 687 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:23.000 Or six uh he can. Handle the ball, he can 688 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.800 uh he can get the spots. Off the dribble he 689 00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:30.360 moves very very well. Without the ball but he's unique 690 00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.760 and the fact that he can play with the ball, 691 00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:34.960 in his hands so he. Can do both you can 692 00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:36.639 play them off the ball or you can play them. 693 00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:40.400 On the ball he's a good pick. And, role player uh, 694 00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:44.280 he YOU know he i think he's, a willing, passer 695 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:47.960 YOU know and i think that he has a chance 696 00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:52.079 to be. An. Offensive engine uh, SO you know i 697 00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:56.840 think that if If, if, it's tray uh that that 698 00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.280 falls to the jazz and in the in the. Jazz 699 00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.559 pick trade, AND you know i think that that's a 700 00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:07.840 that's a really good from starting block uh to to to. 701 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:12.079 Start off us but you know the Other Thing with 702 00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.079 trey I'LL say is i think that he would fit 703 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.519 in better than Most with will hardy system because because 704 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:23.400 of his ability to move. Off the ball, SO you 705 00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.480 know i think that he's a guy that, THAT you 706 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.519 know i don't know if he's THE guy that i would. 707 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:33.199 Take a three the question is who would you? Take A, Three, 708 00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:37.119 because Dj tray and ace are all in the same. 709 00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:42.079 Tier of player SO right now I would take. Dj 710 00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:44.960 at three and the reason WHY, is because dj of 711 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:48.440 THE three guys, i just mentioned is the best defender 712 00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:54.159 and the and he measured in at six.' four without 713 00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:56.639 shoes i thought he was going to measure in at 714 00:36:56.679 --> 00:36:58.719 six two or six one and, a half without shoes 715 00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:03.639 so he measured in a lot bigger than. Expected AT 716 00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:06.239 the combine so i think the depth balls him. Into 717 00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:06.800 the third. 718 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:10.119 Spot so is it safe to say whoever's Left, OVER 719 00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:13.119 out Of ace vj and, trey in your Opinion, LANDS 720 00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:13.960 to the jazz. 721 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:18.480 I would say that that's the leader in. THE clubhouse 722 00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:20.719 right now i Don't mean obviously the jazz to fall in. 723 00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:23.360 Love with, somebody else you know maybe they Fall In. 724 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:25.320 Love with derrek queen maybe they do Fall In, love 725 00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.519 with jeremiah fears maybe they Fall In, love with, kaka 726 00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:33.199 neippel you know all during. The PRE draft process, but 727 00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:35.320 i would say, AS of right now i would say, 728 00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:38.480 one of, those three you know the leader in the 729 00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:39.719 clubhouse at this point. 730 00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:43.360 Really the only local player of interest as far as 731 00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:45.719 being able to be drafted, at A Notable spot As 732 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.760 Yegor Demon from brigham young cavaldi Has him going. To 733 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:52.719 chicago at twelve what do You think Happens. With, yegor 734 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:53.440 draft knight. 735 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:57.960 Yeah his stock is rising because he measured in it's like. Six', 736 00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:02.880 nine without shootes you know so if, you push us 737 00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:05.280 on him like he's six nine, AND a half six ten, 738 00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:08.320 i think that you know he was expected that he 739 00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.960 would come in and measure all six six six and 740 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:15.239 a half, or six seven, without shoes so you know 741 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:18.039 he's a, Jumbo point guard right now like he's a 742 00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:21.800 he's a legitimate six foot nine, and a half, point 743 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:25.320 guard and you know he's the, best passer, in THE 744 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.159 draft you KNOW so i think that i think that you. 745 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:33.320 Know his ceiling right now don't be surprised if he's 746 00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:36.360 really in play At Number six for the washington wizards 747 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:39.199 by the. Time all of this thing by the time 748 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:41.280 all of, THIS is said and Done i don't think 749 00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:44.199 the jazz, will TAKE him at five but i do 750 00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:48.519 think that. The ceiling starts at six as far. 751 00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:50.760 As what the rest of the off season Could, look 752 00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:53.039 like for the jazz, they also have twenty one so 753 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:54.400 we'll see what sort of value. 754 00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:55.119 Is there, at twenty. 755 00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:59.639 One You know IT'S interesting tim bontems from espn had 756 00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:02.679 a piece up yesterday and he quoted a number, of 757 00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:06.480 different front office executives one who was very specific about 758 00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:10.679 His enjoyment Seeing both the jazz and washington not get 759 00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:13.599 number one overall because he doesn't believe tanking should. Be 760 00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:17.559 rewarded in, Pro Basketball and of course adam silver's endeavored 761 00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:20.760 to flatten the odds in twenty nineteen was in part 762 00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.239 to try to dissuade Teams from doing What the jazz and. 763 00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:26.800 The wizards did this year, so look next year's draft 764 00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:29.800 and you and others have talked about next year's draft as, 765 00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.320 something that. Could Be very very exciting the jazz have a, 766 00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:34.880 pick that's top eight protected so it would behoove. 767 00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:37.960 Them to Be bad again do you they're gonna. 768 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.199 Be a, Number of players good, players Tony, on The, 769 00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:44.719 move namely giannis Maybe durant who knows what boston does 770 00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:47.719 with that five. Hundred million Luxury tax bill now that tatum's, 771 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:51.400 out for probably next Year do you anticipate the jazz 772 00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.480 trying to get involved in a notable piece or do 773 00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:54.920 you feel like next year is going to look? 774 00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:56.000 A lot like this year. 775 00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.119 Whether next year looks a lot like This year and 776 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:02.719 that the jazz need to go out. And get a 777 00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:07.079 point guard they need to go out and get a 778 00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.400 real point guard who can actually come IN and, run 779 00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:15.239 A real nba offense because i think that they are 780 00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:19.840 short changing their development by, what that by you know 781 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:21.800 what they're putting out of. Their point, GUARD right now 782 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.920 You know i don't dislike, isaiah CALL you at all 783 00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:28.440 but i THINK he's a backup and i don't know 784 00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.480 that he's going to become, a starter in this league 785 00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:34.840 and they just need somebody who can come in and run, 786 00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:39.239 an offense because you know they Need To figure out. If, 787 00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:42.480 cody wims can play uh they Need To figure out 788 00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:47.000 what kante george actually. Looks like off the ball, they need, 789 00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:50.039 to figure out, you know whoever they. Draft what he 790 00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:54.239 looks like they need somebody who can Throw A, love past, 791 00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:59.079 the walker Kessler You know or get walker kesseler. The 792 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:02.559 ball when he's open they need all of these guys. 793 00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:06.199 THAT they need to develop i think the development has 794 00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:09.920 been short changed by the fact that they've been so deficient. 795 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.039 At that point, guard spot so you know whether they, 796 00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:17.559 go out and you know get a star or or, 797 00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:19.719 try to get a star or whether they want to 798 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:24.119 tank next year. Or be, competitive next year to me 799 00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:28.000 just finding a veteran point GUARD who can run an nba, 800 00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:32.159 offense is. Their HIGHEST priority. 801 00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:39.000 All right so i guess ultimately that leaves us with 802 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:42.440 the potential of them being in. The, Same spot next 803 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.119 year right so give us give us a quick primer 804 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:48.039 On some of the names jazz fans should be familiar 805 00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:51.039 with throughout the course of this upcoming. Up college season 806 00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:53.639 or whatever as far as maybe hope. 807 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:56.679 For, next year's draft cycle well. 808 00:41:56.519 --> 00:42:02.199 Obviously You, have you, know aged debansas you, Know uh 809 00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:04.920 and you know jazz fans will won't have any issues 810 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.840 watching him BECAUSE.

Way to 1038 00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:37.880 put that now xanik said this after the like the 1039 00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:40.880 most likely outcome based off the. Numbers was four. Or 1040 00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:43.079 five it wasn't one it would have been, great IF 1041 00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:45.719 it Was one. Because i think cooper's awesome what was 1042 00:52:45.719 --> 00:52:48.119 Your Reaction when you saw mark tatum hold Up The card? 1043 00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:50.840 That the Jazz war five so so i'll give you, 1044 00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:53.119 a draw picture for. You Painted picture for you how 1045 00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:57.119 i'm listening To the draft lottery right i'm mowing my 1046 00:52:57.320 --> 00:53:00.320 lawn with my phone in my pocket and My, ear buds, 1047 00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:04.159 in and i'm you know listening for. What's going TO, 1048 00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:07.280 happen here, and when, i, you know, HEARD one two and. 1049 00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:11.639 Three I was like, DISAPPOINTED WHEN i heard. Five, I i, 1050 00:53:11.719 --> 00:53:16.800 audibly grown yeah i think and it probably could. Be 1051 00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:21.079 HEARD throughout the Valley But i think that tony jones 1052 00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:25.440 summed it up very, astutely when, he just said you know, 1053 00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:31.519 the being the worst team your hope is, that, you 1054 00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:33.840 want the floor right but that means that. You can't 1055 00:53:33.880 --> 00:53:36.480 drop below five and if there was, a time to 1056 00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:39.639 be five it's in a draft like this where you 1057 00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:43.960 are have a talent laden, draft and your lottery pick 1058 00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:46.079 if you're, picking in the top five is going. To 1059 00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:47.960 be a good player it's going to be a. Player 1060 00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:51.119 THAT'S going to contribute and i look At really what 1061 00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:53.119 the the jazz have done in the last couple of 1062 00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:55.760 years as far, as draft picks are concerned going Back 1063 00:53:55.800 --> 00:53:59.320 To obviously getting a cante george and then you know 1064 00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:02.159 this last year, to pick Up you know to get. 1065 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:04.760 Philipowski in the second round is that it is crazy 1066 00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:08.599 right at this point when you're redrafting that he's obviously going. 1067 00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:11.639 To BE a lottery pick But i think that the 1068 00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:14.000 jazz at five and twenty one are going to be 1069 00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:15.400 able to, get players that you. 1070 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.079 Know you can build on and that's what. 1071 00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:19.360 YOU got to look at i Think, at this point 1072 00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:22.880 is okay what is the what? Does the construction look 1073 00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:26.519 like right Because that's. Basically where the, jazz are we're 1074 00:54:26.519 --> 00:54:30.239 not rebuilding but the construction, is going on, right. 1075 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:33.880 Now right right right and ultimately it brings up a 1076 00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:37.239 conversation about what it will look like. The next year, 1077 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.320 or two And you know it's funny alema watching the 1078 00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:44.559 playoffs and You hear these stats Like Minnesota is in 1079 00:54:44.599 --> 00:54:47.480 the western conference finals and it's the second straight year. 1080 00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:49.599 That they're in the finals this is the first Time 1081 00:54:49.639 --> 00:54:51.599 that the city of minnesota has had one of their 1082 00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:53.960 teams in the final four two straight. Years Since Nineteen 1083 00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.239 eighty two the detroit pistons haven't won a home playoff game. Since, 1084 00:54:57.280 --> 00:54:59.519 TWO thousand and eight charlotte i think. It's BEEN twenty 1085 00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:02.480 one years. Acromatal i could keep going we just simply Have. 1086 00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:06.079 Been spoiled by the jazz when it comes to, the 1087 00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:09.119 end of an era the bridge. Has Not been Very 1088 00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:11.760 long it's, john and carl Then, boom they Draft, d 1089 00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:14.280 will They, Get, booze they get. Memo boom we're off 1090 00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:17.159 running there's a. Little bit Of a dip then, it's hayward, 1091 00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:20.960 and its favors. And Boom, we've got Something, gordon leaves They, Draft, 1092 00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:24.400 donovan they develop. Rudy boom we've got something so we're 1093 00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:27.679 now three years into a little. Bit of a purgatory 1094 00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:31.440 period but that's not uncommon ACROSS. The landscape of the 1095 00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:33.320 nba and the fact of the matter is you have 1096 00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:35.599 to have a little pain tolerance to wait Until this thing, 1097 00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:38.400 Gets Tickn so twenty nineteen adam. 1098 00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:39.519 Silver flattens the lottery. 1099 00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:42.800 Odds we have six lotteries none of the teams that 1100 00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:46.000 were among the worst in the. League, have received number 1101 00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:49.159 one yeah so it it brings to mind what. Next 1102 00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:51.199 year could look like is it's still going to be a. 1103 00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:54.639 Slow process with young. Players my guess is yes do 1104 00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:56.559 they look at the landscape of the league and try 1105 00:55:56.599 --> 00:55:59.199 to bring in some, big pieces expedited it maybe. But 1106 00:55:59.280 --> 00:56:01.519 that's easier set done what do you think next next 1107 00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:02.159 YEAR is gonna. 1108 00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:02.960 Look for i would agree. 1109 00:56:03.000 --> 00:56:05.119 WITH you one hundred percent i think that that next 1110 00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:06.880 year is not it's not going to be the same. 1111 00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:08.320 AS it was this year i think. 1112 00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:11.480 That, there were some objectives certainly the development of players 1113 00:56:11.719 --> 00:56:13.400 was one of the things, that they were looking at 1114 00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.239 and so we saw a lot, of opportunities for younger 1115 00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:19.159 players which in the long run will benefit this team 1116 00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:22.400 because those guys got, so much experience last year they're 1117 00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:26.119 gonna be much better players in their sophomore season or 1118 00:56:26.159 --> 00:56:29.119 their third year in the league because of. WHAT happened 1119 00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:32.559 this past season i don't think this. UPCOMING season looks like. 1120 00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:34.519 THAT i agree with you i think you want to 1121 00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:37.599 try to bring somebody in That is going to be 1122 00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:42.480 i'm not not, necessarily a true needle mover but somebody 1123 00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.480 THAT can contribute and and I think that that the 1124 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:48.360 jazz have tried to accomplish that to, some degree this 1125 00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:52.119 last season and then some, injuries that you deal with 1126 00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.000 and and so maybe it doesn't pan out exactly the 1127 00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:58.400 way the. Way that you want to and it, is harder, 1128 00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:00.960 than It, seems you know says oh just, like go, 1129 00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:04.159 Get this, Guy, you know and hey yan Do you 1130 00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:05.440 hear people talk jannis Is. 1131 00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:08.000 Talking about, leaving, the milwaukee it's. Like well go get 1132 00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:10.000 him it's like it's like it's. 1133 00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:12.719 A little tougher, than That but for me and i've 1134 00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:16.559 always been of this opinion because. It's important Who you 1135 00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:18.960 hire and the jazz have done a great job making 1136 00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:21.079 sure that they got a front office. That KNOWS what 1137 00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:23.559 they're doing and I always make even when i was 1138 00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:25.760 doing the show Back In the day with ben krittle 1139 00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:27.760 and We Were Talking, about a bronco menden hall he 1140 00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:29.920 makes a decision and people ARE up, in arms and 1141 00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:32.519 byu fans you. Know How they can, BE and i'm 1142 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:36.000 just like i always make the assumption that the head coach, has, more, 1143 00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:39.400 Information than ME certainly right and so i, LOOK at, 1144 00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:41.559 our front office i say these guys know what they're 1145 00:57:41.599 --> 00:57:44.239 doing and they have had success in the past and 1146 00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:46.719 will continue to, have success in the future and you, 1147 00:57:46.800 --> 00:57:49.480 put your faith in that and.

Was a real hard sell so for 1604 01:19:19.119 --> 01:19:22.239 us to be, back in the same conference and it 1605 01:19:22.319 --> 01:19:25.640 was interesting to WATCH social medias as the pac twelve fell, 1606 01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:29.119 APART and everybody's you, know byu fans are cheering and 1607 01:19:29.159 --> 01:19:31.439 Then they get into the, big, twelve almost you know 1608 01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:35.840 instantaneously and now.

This is this is unfair well. 1804 01:28:09.880 --> 01:28:11.840 They did all this, tanking then you get rewarded and 1805 01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:14.640 that's not that's not. How that's supposed to go so 1806 01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:18.159 to eliminate tanking and to make, this a more fair 1807 01:28:18.199 --> 01:28:21.920 process just it's a it's an unwighted lottery one and 1808 01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:25.000 fourteen chance you missed. The playoffs, one in fourteen that 1809 01:28:25.039 --> 01:28:28.079 way there's no incentive to to Be as bad As 1810 01:28:28.119 --> 01:28:31.319 the wizards And the jazz and. The hornets were this 1811 01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:33.760 year and in order to kind of try to stack, 1812 01:28:34.159 --> 01:28:37.880 the odds in, your favor is you know to get that, 1813 01:28:37.920 --> 01:28:41.319 Fourteen PERCENT one, IN fourteen like i just i. THINK 1814 01:28:41.319 --> 01:28:45.279 it's a simple solution i will never believe that teams 1815 01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:48.000 are going to tank out of the playoffs in order 1816 01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:50.399 to get a one in fourteen chance, At THE number, 1817 01:28:50.399 --> 01:28:52.920 ONE pick like i just i think that is so 1818 01:28:53.800 --> 01:29:00.119 ridiculous AND fails to. Understand HOW nba teams operate and 1819 01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:03.039 i think it will bring a better product to the 1820 01:29:03.279 --> 01:29:05.399 to the last. Couple. Months, of the season. 1821 01:29:05.319 --> 01:29:08.159 Certainly well, while we're IN the space even though i 1822 01:29:08.199 --> 01:29:11.760 am RISKING insulting your intelligence and i.

He's 1961 01:35:37.560 --> 01:35:40.520 a good offensive player, his TEAMMATES rave about him like 1962 01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:43.560 i think that that is the guy with The Highest 1963 01:35:43.680 --> 01:35:47.279 upside Outside Of. Cooper flag and dylan harper now, he 1964 01:35:47.319 --> 01:35:50.359 may not reach that but if your whole organization for 1965 01:35:50.640 --> 01:35:53.279 a decade plus has been about we get guys and 1966 01:35:53.279 --> 01:35:55.239 we develop them and we, bring that, out of them 1967 01:35:55.600 --> 01:35:59.199 to me. That's, the guy to develop yeah it's. 1968 01:35:59.319 --> 01:36:03.479 It's it's, an Intriguing point and yeah the walker stuff might. 1969 01:36:03.520 --> 01:36:06.279 Be A little bit redundant but i Wonder if you 1970 01:36:06.319 --> 01:36:10.279 think the jazz have WHAT it takes to, to i, 1971 01:36:10.319 --> 01:36:13.119 Don't think It you know and even tim McMahon reported 1972 01:36:13.159 --> 01:36:15.640 this Week that the ownership in dallas, Has Handed, the 1973 01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:17.800 edict down like nico you're.

Somebody can grab number Two do you 1979 01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:35.640 think the jazz get? INVOLVED in something like that i. 1980 01:36:35.640 --> 01:36:37.960 THINK they ABSOLUTELY absolutely should i mean i think with, 1981 01:36:38.119 --> 01:36:40.920 their with their you know kind, of treasure trove of, 1982 01:36:40.960 --> 01:36:43.880 picks and THEY'RE young, guys And EVEN i, mean if 1983 01:36:43.880 --> 01:36:49.319 i'm i know this, sounds maybe a little. RIDICULOUS or maybe, 1984 01:36:49.319 --> 01:36:54.039 it Doesn't i, don't know if i'm utah maybe, this 1985 01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:56.359 isn't getting enough back and you've got.

Just the number, two 1997 01:37:28.800 --> 01:37:31.840 pick larry's obviously awesome but like you maybe have. To 1998 01:37:31.840 --> 01:37:35.560 get aggressive in that and since you're now accepting that 1999 01:37:35.640 --> 01:37:38.119 you're in a rebuild one year. Into a three year 2000 01:37:38.159 --> 01:37:41.199 rebuild now you can actually lean into it and go 2001 01:37:41.239 --> 01:37:43.800 get whatever that is and, maybe bring in You Know, 2002 01:37:43.960 --> 01:37:47.840 whether that's a kelton. JOHNSON maybe, IT'S maybe you i 2003 01:37:47.840 --> 01:37:51.199 mean i don't know if They Would do two and stephan. 2004 01:37:51.279 --> 01:37:53.720 CASTLE like that seems aggressive i don't, Think they would, 2005 01:37:53.760 --> 01:37:55.560 do that but like you they have a lot of 2006 01:37:55.640 --> 01:37:58.439 pieces that you can go get and maybe get. Involved 2007 01:37:58.479 --> 01:38:00.199 IN three SCENE deals like I just i think they're 2008 01:38:00.600 --> 01:38:02.800 i think it Would make sense for the jazz to 2009 01:38:02.840 --> 01:38:06.039 be very aggressive with trying to go grab a higher 2010 01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:08.239 pick in this while still holding on to the to 2011 01:38:08.279 --> 01:38:09.640 the fifth pick where you can still. Get, A very 2012 01:38:09.640 --> 01:38:10.439 GOOD player. 2013 01:38:10.880 --> 01:38:14.159 Yeah i think i think one of the main issues 2014 01:38:14.199 --> 01:38:17.399 that you could Run into there is san antonio could probably, 2015 01:38:17.439 --> 01:38:20.560 get a lot for two right and do they? 2016 01:38:21.119 --> 01:38:23.720 You know, They do they. And Look lowry's really good 2017 01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:24.399 so I'm not. 2018 01:38:24.399 --> 01:38:27.399 Trying to disparage lary Marketing but you call san antonio 2019 01:38:27.840 --> 01:38:31.520 and you offer them, five in marketing for. Two they 2020 01:38:31.560 --> 01:38:34.079 also have fourteen you get a late lottery pick and, 2021 01:38:34.119 --> 01:38:36.920 maybe a piece from them and then you reset and 2022 01:38:36.960 --> 01:38:39.439 you start over with a legitimate piece. 2023 01:38:39.239 --> 01:38:40.479 Because they're not going to be able to Get To. 2024 01:38:40.479 --> 01:38:42.079 ONE to get cooper flag i, have, all these friends 2025 01:38:42.199 --> 01:38:44.039 like hey, they should trade to one they should trade Up. 2026 01:38:44.039 --> 01:38:45.680 To one, and get flag i'm, Like they should do 2027 01:38:45.720 --> 01:38:48.159 that but you need two people. To agree to such 2028 01:38:48.199 --> 01:38:52.640 transactions so could you get two and Fourteen And a 2029 01:38:52.680 --> 01:38:56.079 piece from san? Antonio for five In marketing or could 2030 01:38:56.079 --> 01:38:58.439 san antonio get a lot more than that for? 2031 01:38:58.880 --> 01:39:00.239 Two, BECAUSE so MANY people. 2032 01:39:01.560 --> 01:39:04.560 Yeah i JUST i don't know if i just don't 2033 01:39:04.560 --> 01:39:06.279 know if, You NEED to include five like i don't 2034 01:39:06.319 --> 01:39:09.680 know that those players are going to, Be OUT on 2035 01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:12.239 the market like i Know There's. The talk of kevin 2036 01:39:12.319 --> 01:39:14.640 durant do we know that they want to go sell 2037 01:39:14.640 --> 01:39:16.880 a bunch of assets for A Couple? OF years of 2038 01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:20.159 kevin durant i don't think that doesn't seem like the, Move, 2039 01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:23.520 that they, would do like you know for for what, 2040 01:39:23.560 --> 01:39:26.600 WE know about that organization I don't really believe that 2041 01:39:26.640 --> 01:39:29.560 giannie's is going. TO be on the table I don't 2042 01:39:29.600 --> 01:39:31.319 really believe that booker is going. To be on the 2043 01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:33.560 table like if we're starting, to look at You know 2044 01:39:33.720 --> 01:39:35.520 star and maybe i'm, wrong about all that stuff but 2045 01:39:35.560 --> 01:39:37.239 if we're starting to look at like, stars who, could 2046 01:39:37.279 --> 01:39:42.520 be available you know a player like marketing might be. As, 2047 01:39:42.560 --> 01:39:44.000 good as a gift now it doesn't mean you have 2048 01:39:44.039 --> 01:39:46.159 to make a trade If. You're IF you're. SAN antonio 2049 01:39:46.199 --> 01:39:48.560 but i don't i don't Know That You, Have To 2050 01:39:49.920 --> 01:39:53.319 if i'm utah i'm i'm not really dangling that fifth 2051 01:39:53.359 --> 01:39:56.439 pick and in that trade unless it is. A very 2052 01:39:56.479 --> 01:39:59.640 aggressive trade market they do have all, these teams throwing 2053 01:39:59.680 --> 01:40:01.439 that in and then you, do have to. INCLUDE that? 2054 01:40:01.840 --> 01:40:04.680 Do, YOU think i mean look i would sound like 2055 01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:07.319 the biggest HYPOCRITE in the world if, i, sat here 2056 01:40:07.359 --> 01:40:09.479 and said man it was the wrong approach this YEAR 2057 01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:12.159 to intentionally lose because i believed it was, the RIGHT 2058 01:40:12.199 --> 01:40:14.680 thing to do and i believed it was the right 2059 01:40:14.720 --> 01:40:17.119 Thing to do. When women yama was available After you Move, 2060 01:40:17.159 --> 01:40:19.920 on FROM mitchell and gobert but i also have to 2061 01:40:19.960 --> 01:40:22.760 acknowledge at this point that since the odds, were flattened 2062 01:40:22.760 --> 01:40:26.159 in twenty nineteen literally zero Of the teams that the 2063 01:40:26.239 --> 01:40:28.520 Jazz that did what the jazz tried to do this 2064 01:40:28.600 --> 01:40:31.520 year have been rewarded with. The Number one overall pick 2065 01:40:31.600 --> 01:40:33.760 tim bontemps had a piece up ON the dot com 2066 01:40:33.800 --> 01:40:37.880 for espn citing a number of different front office executives 2067 01:40:37.880 --> 01:40:40.119 that all seem to be in lockstep That they're glad 2068 01:40:40.680 --> 01:40:43.479 That the jazz and the wizards were not rewarded for 2069 01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:46.399 having a lack of integrity of trying to build a team? 2070 01:40:46.439 --> 01:40:49.920 That actually competes for real are we moving into a 2071 01:40:49.960 --> 01:40:53.760 space where you no? Longer want to lose intentionally even 2072 01:40:53.800 --> 01:40:56.479 Though In, a city like saul lake it does feel 2073 01:40:56.479 --> 01:40:58.359 like the Only way to get a cooper flag or 2074 01:40:58.399 --> 01:41:01.399 a generational piece is to have the top one or. 2075 01:41:01.399 --> 01:41:03.920 Two picks, in the draft you. Know it's interesting to 2076 01:41:03.960 --> 01:41:08.439 consider the vote for flattening the odds, was twenty nine 2077 01:41:08.479 --> 01:41:12.000 to one and The One dissenting Vote Was sam presty 2078 01:41:12.000 --> 01:41:15.079 in oklahoma, city because His Point, Was, we're in oklahoma 2079 01:41:15.159 --> 01:41:18.039 city like it's not. Easy to get stars, Here obviously 2080 01:41:18.039 --> 01:41:20.840 they've done it but does the approach change at some 2081 01:41:20.920 --> 01:41:23.680 point now that the data is in that. LOSING intentionally 2082 01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:25.239 guarantees you nothing. 2083 01:41:26.680 --> 01:41:29.239 I. Mean it guarantees you nothing but did anybody, watch 2084 01:41:29.279 --> 01:41:31.520 that twenty twenty two twenty? Twenty three s first. Team 2085 01:41:32.000 --> 01:41:33.399 they were pretty terrible they. 2086 01:41:33.439 --> 01:41:37.600 Were, worked out for them. 2087 01:41:36.119 --> 01:41:38.199 Yeah THEY weren't the, worst, but i mean no like 2088 01:41:38.520 --> 01:41:40.560 the process is the Process not to go, all sam, 2089 01:41:40.600 --> 01:41:42.520 hanky on it you know but like, the process is 2090 01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:45.439 the process like it it is still the best avenue 2091 01:41:46.119 --> 01:41:48.479 towards getting one of. Those guys in the draft just 2092 01:41:48.479 --> 01:41:52.039 because it hasn't worked the last three years in terms 2093 01:41:52.039 --> 01:41:55.520 of the worst team getting that doesn't mean the, other teams, 2094 01:41:55.520 --> 01:41:59.600 who have tried you know have tried to to to. 2095 01:41:59.720 --> 01:42:02.800 TAG can, Improve their position i mean washington was terrible 2096 01:42:02.840 --> 01:42:05.039 last year they, did with, The TWO pick you know, 2097 01:42:05.159 --> 01:42:07.680 like i mean this year it was a it was 2098 01:42:07.720 --> 01:42:13.960 a high profile class and. You, HAD two, Good teams 2099 01:42:14.439 --> 01:42:16.479 well i, mean santoni wasn't that good but they, were, 2100 01:42:16.520 --> 01:42:18.560 supposed to Be good right and, because wendy's injury and 2101 01:42:18.560 --> 01:42:22.680 everything but you had two, good teams or you know 2102 01:42:22.720 --> 01:42:25.560 supposedly good teams with a lot of talent end up at. 2103 01:42:25.600 --> 01:42:28.439 THE top of, The, draft i, still believe like to 2104 01:42:28.520 --> 01:42:30.840 me this is this is reminiscent of, like a few years, 2105 01:42:30.840 --> 01:42:33.199 ago all of, a, SUDDEN it was like hey i 2106 01:42:33.199 --> 01:42:36.600 don't Know if. You want, A big three you know 2107 01:42:36.680 --> 01:42:38.920 i don't know if teams want three. Superstars and had 2108 01:42:39.000 --> 01:42:42.119 two superstars AND this was before the. Cda got, changed, 2109 01:42:42.119 --> 01:42:44.359 and everything it's like no they want as many stars 2110 01:42:44.359 --> 01:42:47.159 as they can. Get like they like this we can 2111 01:42:47.279 --> 01:42:51.039 sometimes overthink this. Stuff because of the results the process 2112 01:42:51.079 --> 01:42:54.479 is still to get the. Best odds in your favor and, 2113 01:42:54.520 --> 01:42:56.680 SO until they change it i. Still believe that's Gonna 2114 01:42:56.720 --> 01:42:59.039 happen like if if i'm going, to butcher the kid's 2115 01:42:59.119 --> 01:43:01.279 NAME but you know a j the kid that's going to, 2116 01:43:01.279 --> 01:43:05.239 b yu if he is you know this one, everyone 2117 01:43:05.279 --> 01:43:07.640 tanks for next year and one of those, teams tanks 2118 01:43:07.640 --> 01:43:10.880 and gets him it's just going. To reinforce the TANKING 2119 01:43:10.920 --> 01:43:13.960 process like unless the nba truly is rigging this thing 2120 01:43:14.039 --> 01:43:17.399 to get the non tanking teams, to get, that top, 2121 01:43:17.439 --> 01:43:20.880 pick to dissuade you know anyone, From from trying this 2122 01:43:20.960 --> 01:43:23.680 process like that's that's the only thing that's going to 2123 01:43:23.760 --> 01:43:28.640 make that tanking. Option, not actually look attractive yeah. 2124 01:43:28.439 --> 01:43:31.159 And obviously the reaction this week is prisioner of The moment. 2125 01:43:31.199 --> 01:43:32.279 With what happened monday. 2126 01:43:32.119 --> 01:43:34.840 Night But what what what?
