Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka Laca.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb birth three, our number three, piping hot
out of the oven, talking basket ball over the weekend,
a big announcement. Just how big a deal is Luca
Doncik's one hundred and sixty five million dollar extension with
the Lakers. We'll talk about that. Are you surprised Luca
(00:24):
is locking in with the Lakers? And Dancik said he
is confident in the Lakers' title chances, saying, quote, We're
going for it. Are the Lakers a championship contender as
they are currently constructed or just a mirage? We'll talk
about that as well. Here it is say hello to
(00:44):
my little friend. It's our number three. A whole lot
of loot for Luca. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the
the air everywhere as one as we are fumbling and
(01:06):
crumbling coast, the coast, border, the border, and beyond on
the vast and boisterously powerful microphones of fsre amminating live
from the Brook, the babbling brook of Sportsnook, the Fox
Sports Radio studios, as approved by the iconic Danny in Nashville,
(01:29):
who now lives in Florida. He's the guy that came
and visited us and famously hid in the bushes outside
the Fox Sports Radio studios. And also by truck Stop Fungus,
who always says, Ben, I need more pro bouncy ball,
I need more Mallard monologues about pro bouncy balls. So
we are here to please for truck Stop Fungus. This
portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made possible
(01:50):
by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,
tire Rack has been helping customers like Will and his
uncle Josh find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive ship fast and free. That's right, Alf
the Alien opinter and ferg Dog back by free road
hazard Protection. Mister Niskuy knows that with convenient installation options
like mobile tire Installation, tire ract dot Com, the Way
(02:13):
Tire Buying showb So our lead this hour is from
La La Land. Big money, big money, big money, No
way may stop. So over the weekend if you have
not heard, you somehow missed it under the cloak of darkness,
meaning you're out doing stuff. It's the summer and the
(02:34):
first weekend in August. I'm assuming you're not sitting around
there paying attention to the sports transaction wire to the
suddenly Skinny o Zembeka hell of a drug. Suddenly Skinny
Luca now has a very fat wallet. Now he already
had a fat bank account, but his wallet is bursting.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Luca Doncik sonny.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
A five year, five year, one hundred and sixty five
million dollars extension with the Purple and Gold, Lot of gold,
lot of gold right there, a lot of goal. Keep
in mind that that's not really a five year deal.
He's going to opt out of that in less than
five years. But let us discuss the question how big
(03:18):
a deal is Luca Dncik's one hundred and sixty five
million dollar extension.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
With the Lakers. Put that in into some perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So on this one, I've got launching pad, the full
Monty and Larry David and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Some hookah for hookah, Luca, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So Number, I said Number. Everyone freaking out like this
is a massive moment, a point of demarcation. And I
opened my inbox and when I deleted all the blind
Scott emails that he sends to me.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I then went through the other email and it was
it's over. Now Luca's a Laker for life. It's over.
Clippers suck, you know everything. I didn't bring up.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I didn't email these people to email me these idiots. Surprisingly,
not one of them from Rick. Oh usually I Rick
always the one that sends those messages, but this was
some other people who are semi regulars in the email chain.
So anyway, listen, in terms of this being some kind
of massive moment spoiler alert, it's not. It's not a
(04:32):
massive moment. It's a bridge deal. It's think of it
like in Nascar, it's a pit stop. Now the race
isn't over when you go to pitt Row. It's not over.
You have a pit stop. The race continues, right, you
go to the gas station in this case, you get
some gas there, maybe you get some snacks in the
little mini mart there at the gas station.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And now the real money, though, is in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So this is just a vehicle to get to eight
and it's not about the Lakers. This idea that some
of you idiots have see Luca's falling in love with
the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
He loves the Laker, wants to be a Laker for life.
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He loves Hollywood, loves La the whole thing. It's not
about that. It's not about the loyalty. It's not it's
about building the launching pad. This is about building the
launching pad, and the missile is filled with money, money, money, money.
Luca playing financial chess here and so again, this is
(05:30):
not if he'd been traded to Minnesota or Sacramento or
Atlanta or New Orleans, he would have done the same thing.
It is wise financially to play this game. Contracts don't
matter if Luca decides two years from now or three
years from now, I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Really like being a Laker. I don't like La.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The player dictates in that world where they go. Luca
can manipulate things and decide where they where he wants
to play next. So that's the reality of that particular situation.
And so he's playing a little bit chess. As we
said there, it's strategic. That's the move he signs now,
assuming he stays healthy, has no major injuries, he keeps
(06:12):
getting all NBA selections.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And buy them.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Twenty twenty eight comes around and he's now eligible for
the I believe I read the largest contract I think
is what I read over the weekend in NBA history
is like four hundred and seventeen million dollars or something
like that. That's the real money, that's the real prize,
not that one hundred and sixty five million. Listen, if
I got paid one hundred and sixty five MILLI I
can't even get a raise from this place. If I
got paid one hundred sixty five million, my god, that
(06:38):
would be great. But it's the NBA economics right that
starter cash for a guy like Luke one hundred and
sixty five million. So this is a setup, situation, set
up job. It's a stopover, and he's just pulling in,
as we said, to the rest stop or the pit stop.
(06:58):
He's pulling into the rest in this case, grabbing a gatorade,
some chips, possibly a candy bar, and then.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
In three years he will go again. Bam.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Let's kick it up a notch and let's get that
real money money money now.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Page two.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Are you surprised? Are you surprised that Luca is locking
in with the Lakers right now immediately? So I've already
revealed my hand if he's rather obvious, I'm not surprised.
As I said, this is some kind of rhetorical question.
You got to be joking, right, you gotta be joking,
Like Luca was hand delivered by Nico Harrison. And we
(07:36):
can get into the conspiracy theories if you'd like. We've
done that a lot. But he was hand delivered to
La by Nico Harrison, and more likely than not, there
was some manipulation at the league office, whether that was
Adam Silver or somebody below Adam Silver, but it was
an inside job. It's an inside job. And you are
(07:56):
the MAVs, all right, you're the MAVs. You're willing to
trade Luca Danci and you only allow one team to
bid on him. Are you out of your bloody mind?
But that's what happens. So that just doesn't pass any
kind of test, any kind of test, and so we're
not gonna go readjudicate that right now. But this is
what the Lakers have always done. This is why people
(08:17):
don't take the Lakers seriously. They're a joke franchise. Everything's
given to them. Anyone else you have to earn your things.
The Lakers just everything's given to them, This is why
people hate the Lakers and why Laker haters. There's more
Laker hitters than Laker lovers. They're given the stars and
then they seduce them and all this non Hollywood shoe commercials,
you name it, the court side movie moguls, which don't
(08:39):
matter as much anymore now it's more about social media
influences and all that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But it's the same playbook.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
The only difference here, the only difference here is that
Luca wants to get to that big money. And so
to get to that big money, you got to have
this little I see, little one hundred sixty five million,
but you got to get this contract.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And he sees the long game.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
He sees the long game, and he knows that la
gets you a global stage and all that stuff. And
so you want the four hundred million Supermax. From what
I read over the weekend, you gotta you gotta stick
around till twenty twenty eight and then you're everywhere, You're
You're everywhere, you're you know, make another Space Jam movie
(09:21):
for Luca. Whatever you want, right, whatever you want, you're
gonna get. And Dallas would have given him. He would
have made more money right now, had he not been
traded by the Mavericks, and so the risk is he's
gonna get hurt or get fat again and fall in
love with the tremendous food options that are out there,
(09:43):
and then that'll cause some issues here. But Luca is
positioning himself much like Lebron. Lebron didn't come to LA
because he wanted to play for the Lakers. He came
to LA because he wanted to make crappy movies and
have his terrible TV show picked up, and he got
everything you wanted. He got all that by playing for
the Lakers. And that was a while ago, right Lebron
(10:07):
got out of the winning business. Lakers haven't won a
championship with Lebron, So lucas there he gets the full Monty.
At this particular point, he's going to get the full Monty.
It's the branding, the imaging, all that stuff and a
few months so, oh, it's the legacy. I don't know
about that, but MVPs and titles and all that stuff.
And he wants the statue, the all inclusive full Monty
(10:28):
package statue next to Kobe, all that stuff, like the
mausoleum out in front of that skid Row arena, they
play in there. But this is really the calm before
the financial storm. It is the NBA's new TV deal,
which just is kicking in this next year with the
Amazon and NBC picking up part of that.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
The cap is going.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
To explode, and Luca knows, his agents know it, the
Lakers know it, everyone involved is aware of what's going
to happen here, and so he isn't He isn't settling
because this is what his preferred destination. He's settling because
this is how to get to his destination, which is
the next contract. So this is just the takeoff point
(11:11):
one hundred sixty five million, which used to be the mountaintop.
That used to be the mountaintop. It's not the mountaintop
for Luca. That's just the base camp the summit. The
summit is three years away and really less than in
August now, so you get through the rest of twenty
twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And then in twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So I guess it's like it is kind of almost
three years, but twenty twenty eight, that's when you go
to the mount supermax wonderful mountaintop. Thin air, good air quality,
good air quality, not a lot of pollution pretty solid now,
final point. So one of the comments, as you would expect,
there are some cliches you're supposed to say when you
(11:51):
sign an extension with a team, you talk about how
you want to win and you're committed to winning, and
Lucas said that. I saw some of his quotes over
the weekend. Luka Dotzik said he is confident in the Lakers'
title chances. He said, saying we're going for it. That
was the quote, We're going for it. So question for
the esteem panel are the Lakers a championship contender as
(12:14):
they are currently constructed or are they a mirage pretender?
So the arrow is pointing towards the Mirage and it's
not the hotel in Vegas here, So let's hold off
on the parade down figure roh through skid row. The
roster is much more of a house of cards situation
(12:36):
at this particular point. It's a house of card situation
than a championship roster, and so it is a mirage. Look,
Lebron James is headed to year twenty three. We still
don't know for sure whether Lebron's going to be on
the team or not. He's still having daily conniption fits
with the Lakers. He's very upset that he's no longer
the one that's at the very top of the pyramid
(12:57):
now that he's been usurped. Alf likes to say usurped
by Luke. And that's the direction he's gone from the
chosen one Lebron, to the confused one at this particular
point in time and again griping these tabloid reports. Lebron
(13:18):
griping behind the scenes about being downgraded in the chain
of command with the Lakers there and he's upset that
Luca is now the teacher's pet and that bothers him
and he's annoyed by that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's unfortunate, but this is the reality of Lebron as
a Laker. People talked about Lebron back in the day
chasing rings. The only rings Lebron's chasing now are ones
made out of onions, if you know what I mean.
And you still have his buddy podcaster coach now. The
real moment in this story where things change is the
moment they get rid of Lebron's buddy, the podcast guy,
(13:51):
JJ Reddick, who embarrassed himself as a coach last year
and in over his head. He loves to oose arrogance,
though JJ Reddick he's the smartest guy in the room.
Just ask him, he'll tell you. In fact, you don't
even have to ask him, and JJ will tell you
what a wonderful person he is when he acts like
complete a hole. Now, as far as the supported cast
a championship roster legible acording to Loca, they're going for it.
(14:13):
So let's break that down scientifically. So you're building a
championship roster with spare parts.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Is that how that works? I'm looking right.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So DeAndre Ayton, who has the competitive fire of a
scented candle, was one of your big pickups this year.
So hey, listen, people like scented My wife loves scented candles.
A lot of people love scented candles. I don't really
build a championship on a scented candle. Marcus Smart, nice player,
hustle guy, glue guy, Marcus Smart, great haircut, and can't shoot.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Can't shoot And.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
At this point a lot of miles on the odometer
from Marcus Smart. He's more name than game and certainly
never was all that great in the game. Then you
got Austin Reees. This is the biggest problem that I
I have. So Lebron's unhappy, he wants out. But Austin Reeves,
can we all agree overaded? Did he not get exposed
(15:09):
by Minnesota in the playoffs last year? He got hunted
on defense every possession by the Minnesota Timberwolves. His offensive
game couldn't make it up. They thought that they had
the Lakers Alex Caruso two point zero, and it turns
out he's just another phony regular season guy at this point,
Austin Reeves, who disappears when it matters most. There's a
(15:31):
dime a dozen and he was exposed in the playoffs
this past year. And so yeah, they got Luca. He's
in shape. Congratulations ozempic whatever he's doing. Congratulations that he
showed up in La looking like you know, he passed,
passed up on all the offseason buffets and all that
these photos, the spread and men's health, all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
However, let's revisit.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
This, you and I, We're going to revisit this storyline
around pick a date January seventeenth, just an arbitrary date. Well,
check back in January seventeenth. After a few of those
two am Duncan runs get those late night donuts and
the standard post hookah Dave's hot chicken binge.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
We'll see how he's doing.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I'll see how he's doing there, and yeah, he's one
extra barbecue sauce and one extra glazed donut away from
falling off the wagon. And then he will be dope
kitch is instead of you know what I mean. Anyway, listen,
we'll see Luca. He's looking great now, and that's wonderful
(16:41):
and all that. And of course by the time the
season gets going mid season, is it gonna look like
he just came off.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
A three day weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
All you all inclusive, eat whatever you want, cruise and
you know, roll him off the boat, if you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And as Larry David taught me, one of the great.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Philosophers are at I'm nobody likes a wobbly table. The
Lakers roster is a wobbly table. They're not a real contender.
They're a wobbly coffee table. And for some low information fans,
it looks like they're a functional roster on paper or
a depth chart on it collapses under pressure.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Then the glue there is not enough.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It's glued together, mismatched pieces around Luca and you hope
for the best. That's not much of a plant. It's
not much of a plan. So hoping a prayer, right
winging a prayer, hoping a prayer, all that stuff, and
there's a lot of volatilities still to be determined, and
very little continuity regarding the situation with the Lakers and
(17:43):
the stars are bright, the foundation flimsy with a capital F.
Speaker 1 (17:48):

The much conversed Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson recently said that

more of a pro with his eating. That is the
Mallor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll get to
it and we will.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
She ruined a very expensive piece of Disney merchandise because
she was living the Marcel and Brooklyn life eating noodles.
People don't realize how danger it is. It is eating
noodles a very dangerous food. Drop them on your shirt
and you sell a little Lorena FSR Tech Queen kooplel
Loop at Bronco Fan your comments can it will be
(20:33):
used against you in the court of sports radio back
to it.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Don't forget.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
If you're a super fan of the show and you
want to hang out and meet us, this is on
our own boy. This is not endorsed by the company.
They will not spend a dime on us, trust me.
But we will do this on our own and so
if you want to come out and hang out with us,
it's our own time. We're not getting paid for this.
It's not sponsored by anybody. We're just going to hang
out in Vegas on August twenty third, Saturday. We'll do Vegas, baby,
(21:02):
and get my advice. I love Vegas, and people rip
Vegas all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You just have to know how to do Vegas right
where they don't goug you. That means, if you want
to save a couple bucks, you got to stay off
the strip. There's you look up the hotels that don't
have resort fees. There's still a few of those that
have free parking and save some bucks and use that
money gambling and then just you'll lose that money anyway,
but at least you'll lose the money gambling.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I just had the best reality show idea.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
What's that, Lorena?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
We have all your militia stay in one big Airbnb
and they turn it into like a Jersey Shores style documentary.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
We had an idea years ago. We were going to
do a bus tour.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
We had this guy Lanced the bus driver, and we
were going to drive around and pick up different people.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Along the way.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, like a reality militia across America. And we'd pick
up Blind Scott and the micah LEPrecon in Boston. We'd go,
of course, also Andre and his dog Willis, and then
we'd go over to New York to go to Syracuse,
pick up Chipping, because Mike in New Hampshire would be
on that bus as well.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Amazing picked up Fridaddy.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
We pick up Fats in Philadelphia, Fridaddy, Jonathan and Delaware.
We picked those guys up. We'd work our way through
and just you know, every city where there's a famous call.
We'd go down south pick up our friend in South Carolina,
Charleston who hates hates the you know, meeting me, uh
Jerome and Charleston and hates everything.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Angry Bill made me he blew me off. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
We want angry Bill in that. We'll pick up weed man, hippie.
We'll work our way through the entire country.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
See if we can find mouthwash Mike.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Well, let's just check all the hospitals and the police stations.
We'll see if we can find him. So anyway, let's

the rights is fried chicken and something else.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Do you have an answer, Lorraine?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
They just stole my thing. I was gonna say sausage.
He cut sausage.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No more sausage of sausage. By the way, I got
to keep that sausage out of the mouth. No, that
is incorrect. Correct, as Andrey Richardson says, he cut out
to be a pro.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
He cut out skittles.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
No more skittles from the diet.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
You gotta taste the ring though its.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Nay on the skittles. A So he says, hey, let's
go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Will say hello to Bill who's in southern California in
Korea Town.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Hello, Bill, I Ben.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
It's me Bill.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I just said that.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Oh okay, you know why.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I called to annoy me.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
No, no, give me a chance, man.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
I called to say that I love you. I just
called to say how much I care. I just called
Ben to say that I love you. And I meet
(26:53):
it from the bottom of my heart.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Somewhere Stevie Wonder is questioning his existence right there.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
What Wow?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Let's go to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, hollering James, James.
I don't hear him snoring.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
James. Are you awake, James, Are you're alive? Hollering James.
There we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You're listening to our live team coverage. This is hollering James.
He lives in the Greater Minneapolis area. He's fast asleep
right now. He's on six hundred radio stations and satellite radio.
He's also being broadcast live while sleeping on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Anything you want to.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Say to your fans, James, M hmm. Now, normally what
happens is that the delays about seven minutes. So if
we keep him on the hole for seven he'll hear
hollering James, and then he'll wake up. That happened the
last time he did this, So we just have to
wait for the lady kick in and we'll see what
(28:22):
kind of sleep he's in. Is he in the rem
sleep or is he in a in a lighter sleep.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
I bet he's dreaming about you, Ben.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
No, no, no, no, no no, here's what I'm faring like,
he's dreaming about you or Tammy and Montana.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yes, whoa, whoa, James, James, you're on the air. James
on my phone.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Phone.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Oh oh, you'll have to hear the podcast to hear
the rest of that phone call, unfiltered, hollow.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Talking to well he woke up anyway. What I was
gonna say?
Speaker 7 (29:07):
What I'm curious about, I'm I think it's pretty safe
to assume James doesn't have a job, right.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, yeah, it's fair to say that.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah, you shouldn't make assumptions like that.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
So his job is calling the show. That's that's the
point I'm getting at.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Why doesn't he adjust his schedule to have a daytime
to where he's awake during the show.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I think could do that. I
thought you were gonna say, why can't he awake, be
awake during the day, But then you know, the daytime
shows won't put him on. He's been banned from every
show in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
They won't put him on, right, Yeah, he told me,
he saw, he said, yeah, they won't put me on anymore.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
This is the only show that he that he gets on.
So why not make it so that you're not sleeping
every time that we go to or does he have like,
what is it narcolepsi?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, he takes thirty six pills in the morning. Thirty
six pills. You know.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Let's see he put him back on here. If they
won't curse again, we're gonna get some trouble here. Let's see, James,
you're back.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
I'm loaded back up on my doll.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Hello, James, Jane, Holler.

The first one, man, I'm kind of saying, I really
want to come to the being Greek, but uh, gotta
be the week end I'm in LA to come to
the Cubs game.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Versus oh okay, that's the same. Well he left.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Hell Vegas is a suburb of LA. But I know

Cooper Lorrain.
Speaker 2 (33:41):

That's all right. Now we're talking stuff. We love stuff.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
I want to show you all some love. And uh,
on the on the Luca thing, man, you know it's
a three year deal, right, not a five year deal.
That's a three year deal.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, well I see, Well it's one hundred and sixty
five and then he's gonna get another twenty you know,
four hundred million or whatever it is after.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
That, right right, And I think it was smart being
because this this group, they're not playing.
Speaker 8 (34:12):
Man.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
I think the I think they're gonna get Lebron up
out of the man. I think Lebron is the second
greatest player ever, but he's always talking that team this.
I'm a team guy. I'm a team guy. He wasn't
even at the photo shoot when Luca and all the
teammates came and showed up and I took a picture.
I like, how to management is then like coming out
trying to pander him. I think they're gonna let this
(34:33):
year play out and they're gonna move forward. Man.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
You see Lebron, You see Lebron's picking up golf. That's
a bad sign. That's a bad sign. You pick up
golf right now? You got one foot in retirement. That's
a retirement sport, golf, right, that's it. That's a tough
that's what you're doing. Your when you got to kill time.
You got a lot of money, you got to kill time.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
You play golf. That's what you do.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
Yeah, yeah, man, So I think I think they are
moving forward.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
Man.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
I appreciate what Bron done for the game, man, but
it's staff him to go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (35:03):

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb birth three, our number three, piping hot
out of the oven, talking basket ball over the weekend,
a big announcement. Just how big a deal is Luca
Doncik's one hundred and sixty five million dollar extension with
the Lakers. We'll talk about that. Are you surprised Luca
(00:24):
is locking in with the Lakers? And Dancik said he
is confident in the Lakers' title chances, saying, quote, We're
going for it. Are the Lakers a championship contender as
they are currently constructed or just a mirage? We'll talk
about that as well. Here it is say hello to
(00:44):
my little friend. It's our number three. A whole lot
of loot for Luca. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the
the air everywhere as one as we are fumbling and
(01:06):
crumbling coast, the coast, border, the border, and beyond on
the vast and boisterously powerful microphones of fsre amminating live
from the Brook, the babbling brook of Sportsnook, the Fox
Sports Radio studios, as approved by the iconic Danny in Nashville,
(01:29):
who now lives in Florida. He's the guy that came
and visited us and famously hid in the bushes outside
the Fox Sports Radio studios. And also by truck Stop Fungus,
who always says, Ben, I need more pro bouncy ball,
I need more Mallard monologues about pro bouncy balls. So
we are here to please for truck Stop Fungus. This
portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made possible
(01:50):
by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,
tire Rack has been helping customers like Will and his
uncle Josh find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive ship fast and free. That's right, Alf
the Alien opinter and ferg Dog back by free road
hazard Protection. Mister Niskuy knows that with convenient installation options
like mobile tire Installation, tire ract dot Com, the Way
(02:13):
Tire Buying showb So our lead this hour is from
La La Land. Big money, big money, big money, No
way may stop. So over the weekend if you have
not heard, you somehow missed it under the cloak of darkness,
meaning you're out doing stuff. It's the summer and the
(02:34):
first weekend in August. I'm assuming you're not sitting around
there paying attention to the sports transaction wire to the
suddenly Skinny o Zembeka hell of a drug. Suddenly Skinny
Luca now has a very fat wallet. Now he already
had a fat bank account, but his wallet is bursting.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Luca Doncik sonny.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
A five year, five year, one hundred and sixty five
million dollars extension with the Purple and Gold, Lot of gold,
lot of gold right there, a lot of goal. Keep
in mind that that's not really a five year deal.
He's going to opt out of that in less than
five years. But let us discuss the question how big
(03:18):
a deal is Luca Dncik's one hundred and sixty five
million dollar extension.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
With the Lakers. Put that in into some perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So on this one, I've got launching pad, the full
Monty and Larry David and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Some hookah for hookah, Luca, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So Number, I said Number. Everyone freaking out like this
is a massive moment, a point of demarcation. And I
opened my inbox and when I deleted all the blind
Scott emails that he sends to me.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I then went through the other email and it was
it's over. Now Luca's a Laker for life. It's over.
Clippers suck, you know everything. I didn't bring up.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I didn't email these people to email me these idiots. Surprisingly,
not one of them from Rick. Oh usually I Rick
always the one that sends those messages, but this was
some other people who are semi regulars in the email chain.
So anyway, listen, in terms of this being some kind
of massive moment spoiler alert, it's not. It's not a
(04:32):
massive moment. It's a bridge deal. It's think of it
like in Nascar, it's a pit stop. Now the race
isn't over when you go to pitt Row. It's not over.
You have a pit stop. The race continues, right, you
go to the gas station in this case, you get
some gas there, maybe you get some snacks in the
little mini mart there at the gas station.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And now the real money, though, is in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So this is just a vehicle to get to eight
and it's not about the Lakers. This idea that some
of you idiots have see Luca's falling in love with
the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
He loves the Laker, wants to be a Laker for life.
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He loves Hollywood, loves La the whole thing. It's not
about that. It's not about the loyalty. It's not it's
about building the launching pad. This is about building the
launching pad, and the missile is filled with money, money, money, money.
Luca playing financial chess here and so again, this is
(05:30):
not if he'd been traded to Minnesota or Sacramento or
Atlanta or New Orleans, he would have done the same thing.
It is wise financially to play this game. Contracts don't
matter if Luca decides two years from now or three
years from now, I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Really like being a Laker. I don't like La.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The player dictates in that world where they go. Luca
can manipulate things and decide where they where he wants
to play next. So that's the reality of that particular situation.
And so he's playing a little bit chess. As we
said there, it's strategic. That's the move he signs now,
assuming he stays healthy, has no major injuries, he keeps
(06:12):
getting all NBA selections.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And buy them.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Twenty twenty eight comes around and he's now eligible for
the I believe I read the largest contract I think
is what I read over the weekend in NBA history
is like four hundred and seventeen million dollars or something
like that. That's the real money, that's the real prize,
not that one hundred and sixty five million. Listen, if
I got paid one hundred and sixty five MILLI I
can't even get a raise from this place. If I
got paid one hundred sixty five million, my god, that
(06:38):
would be great. But it's the NBA economics right that
starter cash for a guy like Luke one hundred and
sixty five million. So this is a setup, situation, set
up job. It's a stopover, and he's just pulling in,
as we said, to the rest stop or the pit stop.
(06:58):
He's pulling into the rest in this case, grabbing a gatorade,
some chips, possibly a candy bar, and then.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
In three years he will go again. Bam.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Let's kick it up a notch and let's get that
real money money money now.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Page two.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Are you surprised? Are you surprised that Luca is locking
in with the Lakers right now immediately? So I've already
revealed my hand if he's rather obvious, I'm not surprised.
As I said, this is some kind of rhetorical question.
You got to be joking, right, you gotta be joking,
Like Luca was hand delivered by Nico Harrison. And we
(07:36):
can get into the conspiracy theories if you'd like. We've
done that a lot. But he was hand delivered to
La by Nico Harrison, and more likely than not, there
was some manipulation at the league office, whether that was
Adam Silver or somebody below Adam Silver, but it was
an inside job. It's an inside job. And you are
(07:56):
the MAVs, all right, you're the MAVs. You're willing to
trade Luca Danci and you only allow one team to
bid on him. Are you out of your bloody mind?
But that's what happens. So that just doesn't pass any
kind of test, any kind of test, and so we're
not gonna go readjudicate that right now. But this is
what the Lakers have always done. This is why people
(08:17):
don't take the Lakers seriously. They're a joke franchise. Everything's
given to them. Anyone else you have to earn your things.
The Lakers just everything's given to them, This is why
people hate the Lakers and why Laker haters. There's more
Laker hitters than Laker lovers. They're given the stars and
then they seduce them and all this non Hollywood shoe commercials,
you name it, the court side movie moguls, which don't
(08:39):
matter as much anymore now it's more about social media
influences and all that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But it's the same playbook.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
The only difference here, the only difference here is that
Luca wants to get to that big money. And so
to get to that big money, you got to have
this little I see, little one hundred sixty five million,
but you got to get this contract.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And he sees the long game.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
He sees the long game, and he knows that la
gets you a global stage and all that stuff. And
so you want the four hundred million Supermax. From what
I read over the weekend, you gotta you gotta stick
around till twenty twenty eight and then you're everywhere, You're
You're everywhere, you're you know, make another Space Jam movie
(09:21):
for Luca. Whatever you want, right, whatever you want, you're
gonna get. And Dallas would have given him. He would
have made more money right now, had he not been
traded by the Mavericks, and so the risk is he's
gonna get hurt or get fat again and fall in
love with the tremendous food options that are out there,
(09:43):
and then that'll cause some issues here. But Luca is
positioning himself much like Lebron. Lebron didn't come to LA
because he wanted to play for the Lakers. He came
to LA because he wanted to make crappy movies and
have his terrible TV show picked up, and he got
everything you wanted. He got all that by playing for
the Lakers. And that was a while ago, right Lebron
(10:07):
got out of the winning business. Lakers haven't won a
championship with Lebron, So lucas there he gets the full Monty.
At this particular point, he's going to get the full Monty.
It's the branding, the imaging, all that stuff and a
few months so, oh, it's the legacy. I don't know
about that, but MVPs and titles and all that stuff.
And he wants the statue, the all inclusive full Monty
(10:28):
package statue next to Kobe, all that stuff, like the
mausoleum out in front of that skid Row arena, they
play in there. But this is really the calm before
the financial storm. It is the NBA's new TV deal,
which just is kicking in this next year with the
Amazon and NBC picking up part of that.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
The cap is going.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
To explode, and Luca knows, his agents know it, the
Lakers know it, everyone involved is aware of what's going
to happen here, and so he isn't He isn't settling
because this is what his preferred destination. He's settling because
this is how to get to his destination, which is
the next contract. So this is just the takeoff point
(11:11):
one hundred sixty five million, which used to be the mountaintop.
That used to be the mountaintop. It's not the mountaintop
for Luca. That's just the base camp the summit. The
summit is three years away and really less than in
August now, so you get through the rest of twenty
twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And then in twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So I guess it's like it is kind of almost
three years, but twenty twenty eight, that's when you go
to the mount supermax wonderful mountaintop. Thin air, good air quality,
good air quality, not a lot of pollution pretty solid now,
final point. So one of the comments, as you would expect,
there are some cliches you're supposed to say when you
(11:51):
sign an extension with a team, you talk about how
you want to win and you're committed to winning, and
Lucas said that. I saw some of his quotes over
the weekend. Luka Dotzik said he is confident in the Lakers'
title chances. He said, saying we're going for it. That
was the quote, We're going for it. So question for
the esteem panel are the Lakers a championship contender as
(12:14):
they are currently constructed or are they a mirage pretender?
So the arrow is pointing towards the Mirage and it's
not the hotel in Vegas here, So let's hold off
on the parade down figure roh through skid row. The
roster is much more of a house of cards situation
(12:36):
at this particular point. It's a house of card situation
than a championship roster, and so it is a mirage. Look,
Lebron James is headed to year twenty three. We still
don't know for sure whether Lebron's going to be on
the team or not. He's still having daily conniption fits
with the Lakers. He's very upset that he's no longer
the one that's at the very top of the pyramid
(12:57):
now that he's been usurped. Alf likes to say usurped
by Luke. And that's the direction he's gone from the
chosen one Lebron, to the confused one at this particular
point in time and again griping these tabloid reports. Lebron
(13:18):
griping behind the scenes about being downgraded in the chain
of command with the Lakers there and he's upset that
Luca is now the teacher's pet and that bothers him
and he's annoyed by that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's unfortunate, but this is the reality of Lebron as
a Laker. People talked about Lebron back in the day
chasing rings. The only rings Lebron's chasing now are ones
made out of onions, if you know what I mean.
And you still have his buddy podcaster coach now. The
real moment in this story where things change is the
moment they get rid of Lebron's buddy, the podcast guy,
(13:51):
JJ Reddick, who embarrassed himself as a coach last year
and in over his head. He loves to oose arrogance,
though JJ Reddick he's the smartest guy in the room.
Just ask him, he'll tell you. In fact, you don't
even have to ask him, and JJ will tell you
what a wonderful person he is when he acts like
complete a hole. Now, as far as the supported cast
a championship roster legible acording to Loca, they're going for it.
(14:13):
So let's break that down scientifically. So you're building a
championship roster with spare parts.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Is that how that works? I'm looking right.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So DeAndre Ayton, who has the competitive fire of a
scented candle, was one of your big pickups this year.
So hey, listen, people like scented My wife loves scented candles.
A lot of people love scented candles. I don't really
build a championship on a scented candle. Marcus Smart, nice player,
hustle guy, glue guy, Marcus Smart, great haircut, and can't shoot.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Can't shoot And.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
At this point a lot of miles on the odometer
from Marcus Smart. He's more name than game and certainly
never was all that great in the game. Then you
got Austin Reees. This is the biggest problem that I
I have. So Lebron's unhappy, he wants out. But Austin Reeves,
can we all agree overaded? Did he not get exposed
(15:09):
by Minnesota in the playoffs last year? He got hunted
on defense every possession by the Minnesota Timberwolves. His offensive
game couldn't make it up. They thought that they had
the Lakers Alex Caruso two point zero, and it turns
out he's just another phony regular season guy at this point,
Austin Reeves, who disappears when it matters most. There's a
(15:31):
dime a dozen and he was exposed in the playoffs
this past year. And so yeah, they got Luca. He's
in shape. Congratulations ozempic whatever he's doing. Congratulations that he
showed up in La looking like you know, he passed,
passed up on all the offseason buffets and all that
these photos, the spread and men's health, all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
However, let's revisit.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
This, you and I, We're going to revisit this storyline
around pick a date January seventeenth, just an arbitrary date. Well,
check back in January seventeenth. After a few of those
two am Duncan runs get those late night donuts and
the standard post hookah Dave's hot chicken binge.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
We'll see how he's doing.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I'll see how he's doing there, and yeah, he's one
extra barbecue sauce and one extra glazed donut away from
falling off the wagon. And then he will be dope
kitch is instead of you know what I mean. Anyway, listen,
we'll see Luca. He's looking great now, and that's wonderful
(16:41):
and all that. And of course by the time the
season gets going mid season, is it gonna look like
he just came off.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
A three day weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
All you all inclusive, eat whatever you want, cruise and
you know, roll him off the boat, if you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And as Larry David taught me, one of the great.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Philosophers are at I'm nobody likes a wobbly table. The
Lakers roster is a wobbly table. They're not a real contender.
They're a wobbly coffee table. And for some low information fans,
it looks like they're a functional roster on paper or
a depth chart on it collapses under pressure.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Then the glue there is not enough.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It's glued together, mismatched pieces around Luca and you hope
for the best. That's not much of a plant. It's
not much of a plan. So hoping a prayer, right
winging a prayer, hoping a prayer, all that stuff, and
there's a lot of volatilities still to be determined, and
very little continuity regarding the situation with the Lakers and
(17:43):
the stars are bright, the foundation flimsy with a capital F.
Speaker 1 (17:48):

The much conversed Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson recently said that
he cut out blank out of his diet, saying he
needed to be more of a pro, he said. And
again the Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson says he cut out
blank out of his diet, saying he needed to be
(18:48):
more of a pro with his eating. That is the
Mallor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll get to
it and we will.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
She ruined a very expensive piece of Disney merchandise because
she was living the Marcel and Brooklyn life eating noodles.
People don't realize how danger it is. It is eating
noodles a very dangerous food. Drop them on your shirt
and you sell a little Lorena FSR Tech Queen kooplel
Loop at Bronco Fan your comments can it will be
(20:33):
used against you in the court of sports radio back
to it.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Don't forget.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
If you're a super fan of the show and you
want to hang out and meet us, this is on
our own boy. This is not endorsed by the company.
They will not spend a dime on us, trust me.
But we will do this on our own and so
if you want to come out and hang out with us,
it's our own time. We're not getting paid for this.
It's not sponsored by anybody. We're just going to hang
out in Vegas on August twenty third, Saturday. We'll do Vegas, baby,
(21:02):
and get my advice. I love Vegas, and people rip
Vegas all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You just have to know how to do Vegas right
where they don't goug you. That means, if you want
to save a couple bucks, you got to stay off
the strip. There's you look up the hotels that don't
have resort fees. There's still a few of those that
have free parking and save some bucks and use that
money gambling and then just you'll lose that money anyway,
but at least you'll lose the money gambling.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I just had the best reality show idea.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
What's that, Lorena?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
We have all your militia stay in one big Airbnb
and they turn it into like a Jersey Shores style documentary.

do a bus tour.

We had this guy Lanced the bus driver, and we
were going to drive around and pick up different people.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Along the way.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, like a reality militia across America. And we'd pick
up Blind Scott and the micah LEPrecon in Boston. We'd go,
of course, also Andre and his dog Willis, and then
we'd go over to New York to go to Syracuse,
pick up Chipping, because Mike in New Hampshire would be
on that bus as well.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Amazing picked up Fridaddy.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
We pick up Fats in Philadelphia, Fridaddy, Jonathan and Delaware.
We picked those guys up. We'd work our way through
and just you know, every city where there's a famous call.
We'd go down south pick up our friend in South Carolina,
Charleston who hates hates the you know, meeting me, uh
Jerome and Charleston and hates everything.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Angry Bill made me he blew me off. I don't know.

Hello, Bill, I Ben.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
It's me Bill.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I just said that.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Oh okay, you know why.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I called to annoy me.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
No, no, give me a chance, man.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
I called to say that I love you. I just
called to say how much I care. I just called
Ben to say that I love you. And I meet
(26:53):
it from the bottom of my heart.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Somewhere Stevie Wonder is questioning his existence right there.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
What Wow?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Let's go to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, hollering James, James.
I don't hear him snoring.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
James. Are you awake, James, Are you're alive? Hollering James.
There we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You're listening to our live team coverage. This is hollering James.
He lives in the Greater Minneapolis area. He's fast asleep
right now. He's on six hundred radio stations and satellite radio.
He's also being broadcast live while sleeping on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Anything you want to.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Say to your fans, James, M hmm. Now, normally what
happens is that the delays about seven minutes. So if
we keep him on the hole for seven he'll hear
hollering James, and then he'll wake up. That happened the
last time he did this, So we just have to
wait for the lady kick in and we'll see what
(28:22):
kind of sleep he's in. Is he in the rem
sleep or is he in a in a lighter sleep.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
I bet he's dreaming about you, Ben.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
No, no, no, no, no no, here's what I'm faring like,
he's dreaming about you or Tammy and Montana.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yes, whoa, whoa, James, James, you're on the air. James
on my phone.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Phone.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Oh oh, you'll have to hear the podcast to hear
the rest of that phone call, unfiltered, hollow.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Talking to well he woke up anyway. What I was
gonna say?
Speaker 7 (29:07):
What I'm curious about, I'm I think it's pretty safe
to assume James doesn't have a job, right.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, yeah, it's fair to say that.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah, you shouldn't make assumptions like that.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
So his job is calling the show. That's that's the
point I'm getting at.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Why doesn't he adjust his schedule to have a daytime
to where he's awake during the show.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I think could do that. I
thought you were gonna say, why can't he awake, be
awake during the day, But then you know, the daytime
shows won't put him on. He's been banned from every
show in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
They won't put him on, right, Yeah, he told me,
he saw, he said, yeah, they won't put me on anymore.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
This is the only show that he that he gets on.
So why not make it so that you're not sleeping
every time that we go to or does he have like,
what is it narcolepsi?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, he takes thirty six pills in the morning. Thirty
six pills. You know.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Let's see he put him back on here. If they
won't curse again, we're gonna get some trouble here. Let's see, James,
you're back.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
I'm loaded back up on my doll.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Hello, James, Jane, Holler.
