Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Monday, The Jason Smith Show with
my bes friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Look, I'm gonna do things my way, and my way
is terrible.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Live from the tire rack dot Com Studios tirect dot com,
I help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Ti rack dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
you know, I normally like our weekend, my weekend off.
I get time to wait, to recharge and you know, okay,
(01:02):
I get some time. We got a couple of days. Yes,
no football this weekend. Now apparently we don't even need football.
With the aftermath of the Luka Doncic Anthony Davis trade
that goes down Saturday night, and it's still insane to
think about, even a day and a half later, that
this trade actually went down. You know Frostburg to say,
or I know you guys were insane when it happened.
(01:23):
Although Frostburg I got it, say, I got a bone
to pick with you, man. I mean, I knew this
was legit. I knew this was legit trade. I called
you three times. You didn't answer your phone. I even
called your wife's phone to tell you, dude, you just
traded for Luca Donjons. Nope, don't pick up your phone
at all. I even texted you, pick up your phone.
I know something, and you never called me back. You
(01:45):
didn't pick up your phone the entire time. Sorry to
tell you, Jason, he's at the Laker parade right now.
That's what it was like. I'm telling you, man, when
the trade goes down on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
The Sham tweet, we should say, yes.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
The Sham's tweet comes out, and right away there was
all the I don't know if it's real as it
reels at not right, and I knew right away it
was just because if Shams is so obviously being on
social media as much as as much as he is.
You know, he lives and you know lives and breeze
on social media. If someone hacked him and put that
trade out there, there would have been some kind of
(02:25):
of of of tweet right after. There would have been
some sort of of hey, this didn't happen. Hey my
my account got hacked. What's happening? And there wasn't and
you could tell it was the real All you gotta
do is click on and see if he's got millions
and millions of followers and that's him, so you knew
it was there, and it was it was. It was
insane and eventually.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
La Times Chris Haynes, they came out.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Damn WAKEI had it. You know, it comes on the
show all the time. Laker insider says, yes, I can
tell you this trade happened. It's dude, It's like, oh
my goodness. Now I was really happy because I know, okay, well,
now I don't have to worry about Frostburd telling me
you're gonna wear this. Bakers went over the Nick Smith,
You're gonna a wear this on Monday Night. We're gonna
play the highlights all the time. It's like, did that
even happen? It doesn't even matter. And the next are
(03:09):
gonna beat the Rockets house that doesn't matter. So I'm
driving and two big things like it hits me. I'm like,
this is almost like when when when I had my
daughter and I'm calling everybody to tell them right, like,
because i know people Laker for everybody I know, I'm
calling to talk to them every Hey, dude, this happened.
This is this trade is real? What's going on? And
on the way as I'm driving talking to people like
(03:31):
I'm driving, you know, probably about a ten minute drive.
This is just you know, the suburban Los Angeles and
people are driving and they're honking their horns and they're
yelling out the window, and it was like the Lakers
won the title like this, the excitement you could tell
was just it just captured the city, the Luca for
eighty trade. Look, La is a basketball time. We've been
(03:51):
a basketball town for a long time, right, one of
the few true basketball towns where hey, what's number one basketball?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You know, let you know.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
You're right because as people when we talk in the
football context about Los Angeles, and it was a conversation
for years when there was no franchise, we like you
and I living in Los Angeles for years, had to
remind people it's Lakers and Dodgers. Anything else, even when
USC football was dominant is a distant third.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's Lakers Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, I was. I was stunned with the draw. It was.
It was really it was like riding a wave. Like
look at all these they're just yelling out the way
they yelling Lakers out the window stages, and these are
just these are just on the streets beeping their horns,
Laker flags are out on the cars. Like this trade
is like eight minutes old, and this is and this
is what's going on right now a little longer than that.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Can I just add some Laker fan that I knew
usually takes a leisurely Sunday and just has the Sunday
paper and exhales for the day.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It didn't make it into the Sunday paper.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
This morning, I get a text ad is gone, Yes,
yes it happened like forty eight hours ago.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yes, you said, oh no, no, that was a fake
trade didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yeah, well it didn't actually officially happen till today. The
Lakers did announce yes, press conference with Luca tomorrow morning
he arrived private plane.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Last night they rescinded the deal because everybody is mad
about it.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
No, because everybody's hurt all the time. That that would
actually be a real realistic heck and tweet that.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, because Ai David Stern has negated the deal for
basketball reason, we do.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Know officially that Anthony Davis now with Dallas, is not
playing tomorrow. He's with missed a week. And we can
add to that with the abdominal string. I mean, I
I it was.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm calling people and it's and it's just a crazy
situation and I'm like, I'm really at Frostburg, Like where
were you?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Man?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Like, like you, how do you not pick I even text?
You pick up your phone? How do you not pick
up your phone? That I was having a garden party
okay like Donald Sturk, Yeah, like the domination at the
garden Saturday night by my Lakers.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Okay, Madison Square garden party.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
See once again we all forgot there was a game
on Saturday night. Yeah, why well no, because we texted.
The thing is we texted right after the game and
you can all caps. You're gonna wear this on Monday.
Party started Steve.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, and if you thought for one second I was
gonna let Jason Smith into the ring party for the Lakers.
Getting Luca the ring party was magic. There was heating
benefits of my happiness.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Can we all just do we all agree that if
Nicks Lakers had been a day game Saturday, this would
have been announced much earlier instead of what midnight or
so eastern as it was.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, yeah, I mean picking up Steve, I can't believe. No,
I'm never gonna call you again for something when I
know something cool before you, I'm never gonna do. I'm'
say you find it on your own. Fine, you're out
of the will you I don't want to be in
the will I don't want to be here. Okay, I'm okay,
I'm not I don't want to be in there.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
So did you just get into your car and start
driving up and down the street. Get the speaker on
the hood like you're running for office.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Vote for mayor Oldie will said, reelect mayor Goldie Wilson.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Back to the future.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
The Lakers have a start ahead for the next I mean,
we're we're assuming he's going to sign an extension and
be the face of the Lakers for a decade after
Lebron's done, right.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, I mean, look, I mean you saw that this
this trade still has a lot of shock waves going
on throughout the NBA. And let me just say this
now because I can. The one argument that I feel
against this deal, It is knee jerk, emotional and shallow.
Is you know, so you know, I is the all
Dallas should have gotten way more for Luka Doncic than that. Okay, Okay,
(07:35):
I understand that. Oh it seems like, oh they should
have gotten way more for Luka Doncic. Okay, Well, let's
understand that this trade didn't happen in a vacuum. Right.
The extension he has due for this summer is over
three hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Dollars because he had re signed with his original teams.
This exact greatness of the NBA rules so that everybody
doesn't go to the more famous team automatically.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Right, So obviously, and Brian Windhorse talked about this on
Saturday night that hey, they didn't want to pay him
that contract. Right. You don't want to lose Luca for
nothing if you're not gonna sign him. And there are
a lot of reports that he was not going to
re sign with Dallas. Yeah, you get to a point
where do we just keep it going like this when
we know the team is not a title contending team,
(08:19):
or do we get out in front and maybe lose
Luca a little bit earlier and instead of losing him
for nothing, we wind up getting a top ten NBA
player in him and Anthony Davis, right, because that that's
kind of the dilemma that they had. This wasn't keep
Luca or trade him. This was well, they were set
up with three hundred and fifty million dollars he was doing.
Clearly they weren't gonna pay him, and and the whole
(08:41):
deal that they should have gotten more like, what do
you want? What's a better deal? If you got four
first round picks, that would have been enough. I don't think.
I don't think. And a lot of NBA fans understand
that NBA first round picks aren't NFL first round picks.
These are not These are not dynasty franchise caliber players.
You're getting first round picks. Yeah. Yeah, the Nicks traded
(09:02):
away fourth first round picks from a Calibridge just because
odds are they're not going to draft four guys that
put them together. You could be making one out of
mclibridge as well. We'll take this guy's left arm, these guys' legs,
this guy's head. Uh, that's not gonna happen. The first
round picks in the NBA are lottery tickets. Unless you
have the first overall pick. When a guy like Wemby
or Cooper Flagg is coming out, well, guess what, it's
(09:22):
a it's a it's a it's a it's a dice roll.
How good your guy's gonna be. Sometimes you draft in
the first round for four years from now, Hey, this
guy's really become a player. Now we're three four years
under the league and he's become somebody who's really good. Well,
guess what. A lot of teams don't have the patience
for that. So first round picks, yeah whatever? Would four
first round picks make you feel better?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The Lakers, the Lakers had them, they would have given
them up. First round picks are nothing, they're they're a
lottery ticket. So and on the other side, is you
wanted three almost stars for him, because that's the other
thing is that, Okay, if you're trading a star player,
what do you want to get? Oh, we want to
get a bevy a package of players. So you want
three players who are just okay what you want. You
want three above average players that make it sound like
(10:03):
they can show up and be stars. You want rotation
guys that you they got a superstar in exchange for
Luka Doncic and it's the best deal they could have gotten.
While still pulling that deal off, right, because this is
the thing. When you're gonna trade a superstar, you can't
just put them on the trading block because the deals
aren't gonna come through. You're not gonna get great offers.
It's gonna wind up getting really messy for a long time.
(10:25):
This is a deal that had to keep everybody in
the dark until it happens, and then hey, eighty gets traded,
Luca gets traded, and then we react to it. This
is a trade that you can't just throw a guy
out on the block and say, hey, give us your
offers for Luca, because then you're not gonna get a
superstar offers. No one's gonna trade a superstar to get
Luca back. So I don't understand the trade that people wanted.
(10:47):
You weren't gonna get a star player back because look,
look at the top ten twelve players in the league.
Who's gonna say, hey, we'll give you our guy for Luca. Nobody.
Nobody's in the Spurs aren't gonna trade Renby for Luca.
The Knicks aren't gonna trade Jalen Brunson for none. But
the Lakers would trade a d for for him because hey,
they still have the star in Lebron. They needed a chance,
They needed to do something different to make it work.
(11:08):
So yeah, this is the trade that happens. So when
you understand that that they weren't going to get a
star that you want to start back instead of three
ok players and draft picks they had, they got what
they could get for him. They were bent on trading him.
They even called another team and got rebuffed. So what
was Luka Doncic's value really throughout the NB if they
called somebody else and somebody else already said no, okay,
(11:30):
we got to do this deal. They got a really
good player. Yes, does ad have injury problems, Yes, but
guess what, Luca's got injury problems too. So now that
you know all that, when you look back at the
trade that the that the Mavericks made to get this
They kind of got the best deal they could get.
They got a star player. Yes, they traded away a
guy who's a top five player, but you wanted to
trade him. You weren't gonna sign him. He was gonna
(11:52):
leave anyway. You got a top ten player back. That's
about as good as you're gonna get in a trade
for Luka doncis So. I don't know what people want.
I just want something else. What do you want? You
want other teams around the league? You want Shake Gildes Alexander,
You think that's gonna happen. You want Anthony Yetna, No,
none of those deals were gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
It ticked off Dallas fans because they just went to
the finals with this guy and they've seen him be
all NBA five years in a row, which reminds me,
by a way of Mookie Betts winning a Gold Glove
five years in a row, and then the Red Sox
training him, and then the Dodger's signing to a long
term contract and he might be finishing the career there oddly.
And then as far as draft picks, you just mentioned
that they're a crapshoot in the NBA more than some
(12:29):
other places. I just randomly looked at the NBA draft
of five years ago, which is when Anthony Edwards and
LaMelo Ball were each taken in the top three. Selected
right after those guys, Patrick Williams, Isaac Ocoro, Onyeka Coongwu,
Killian hayes Obi Toppin need I go on, these are
top ten picks in the first round, not just first rounders.
(12:51):
Top ten in the first round.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, I mean, I really I don't understand what people wanted. Well,
I wanted more, Okay, So tell me, tell me the
trade that was gonna happen. Tell me, were the Sixers
gonna trade you Tyrese Maxi for No, they weren't gonna
do that.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
GM's were ticked off that they didn't get a chance
to offer more.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
It's not just the Dallas fans TikTok.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, by the way, because that would happened.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
The Knicks did wind up winning against the Houston Rockets
one twenty four one eighteen tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Of course they did because they looked at and Jalis.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Danson scored forty two points.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Of course? Of course? Look, the Knicks's got their ast beats.
Sound you almost killed Ogan Unobi on Saturday. So I'm
mad at you for that, but it's okay.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And he did not play sprain foot.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Tonight, Knicks out scored Houston by seventeen in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
They barely won. It's that Jason Smith Show with Mike

the Mavericks could have, mate. I like it. They got
a star player. Yes, they traded away, but they were
going to trade them away anyway. So this is the
best you're gonna get. You got ad, that's a great trade.

weight loss. This week I lost another three pounds on
PhD weight loss. I'm near twenty five pounds loss. I've
been doing this diet for a little over five weeks.

who call me diet that are nutritionists who helped me
out with everything going on over the course of the week.

helped me with the right foods. It is a great,
great program. There's no extreme exercise, there's no drugs. Most

Luca and Ad in the Super Bowl and the Warriors
calling everybody for trades. I think Harmon the Warriors called
you today for a trade.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
I didn't answer.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Oh okay.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I took a cue from Frostburg.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Having a party of my own, and I wanted no
part of, you know, harshing, any of the vibes I
was feeling in the moment.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You didn't really think I was letting Smith into my
Luca party, did you?
Speaker 6 (16:57):
No? No, are you kidding me? Saturday night? I mean,
and he woke me up.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
All the crap you've talked about the Lakers over the years,
Jason Jay, I was calling to give you great and
you're out of the will that I know. I don't
want to be in the will. I was giving you
great news. I'll never call you. I'll let you be
miserable for an extra four minutes from now on until
big news happens that you would like. I knew it
five minutes before you called it.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
I think if you do get included in a will,
there's a potential that you become one of the people
they can track down for money if later found.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
But now you woke me up.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
I was in my nap ahead of my Sunday morning show,
and that completely changed the show. What's normally Fox Football
Sunday was no more.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, and I told you don't worry about it. Prepping
you had here's your topic, go back to sleep.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Well and then I wanted to talk about Zach Levine.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Hey, come on, well, we're gonna have more NBA on
the way, reacting to a trade that's still we are
shaking from, but joining us. Now I'm the hotline. There's
big NFL news, a couple of big stars on the
trade block. One doesn't want to be on it, one
does want to be on it. Nobody better to talk
to longtime NFL insider Odyssey one O five seven the
(18:03):
Fan in Baltimore Washington Post. He's on Twitter at Jason
Locking for it is Jason lock And for what's happening? Jay?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well, what's going on? Gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
All right, man, I'll tell you well, we're still the
Luca ad tro I don't know that we need the
Super Bowl this week.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Jay.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
We could postpone it a week because we're going to
talk about this trade for the next four days.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Do we know when they're playing? When when either one
like I saw ad is suddenly now listed as questionable tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Yeah, Luca in theory is Saturday.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah. Yeah, so in theory, yeah, and then we're a
month away from them playing each other.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Right, you know, we'll say teams pretty bizarre. He wouldn't
shop a player of Lucas caliber around the whole league
for a while, or I don't know, make that trade
in the offseason.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
But we'll say so, is the NFL equivalent to something
like this, like two MVP finalists getting traded mid season
for each other? I mean, is there an NFL equivalent
to this?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I don't. I mean nothing leaps out. I mean, first
of all, like we know the history of NFL trades, right,
the minimal for years TMS just said, oh, it's too
much of a team's part. You can't. You know, trades
don't make sense. And even when they happened, they were
usually in the off season, and it's usually for picks, right,
I mean that other team usually just wants draft pick capital.
(19:22):
So I mean player for player trades are rare. Player
for player trades of any significance of any stature are
exceedingly rare. I mean, when they do happen in this league,
it's my bust draft pick for your bus draft pick, right,
I really need a corner. You really need a lot
of receiver. I took a lot of receiver in the
first round two years ago. But you can't do a
damn thing for me. You took a corner in the
(19:43):
first round two years ago. He can't do a damn
thing for you. We like your guy coming out of college.
You liked our guy coming out of college.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Let's here we go. Yeah, that's that's what you get
in the NFL. So no, I don't. I mean, I mean,
like the Herschel Walker trade was huge, but that was
you know what I mean, that was mostly draft picks.
I mean the Lway trade, he wasn't even playing in
the league yet, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And like.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Chris Hinton, I mean, they were players in it. But
I mean, like, come on, uh yeah, no, this is
this is the NFL.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I don't think Coopers all right, Well, let's get to
some of the big trade rumors. Say maybe the NFL says, hey,
wait a minute, we want to make some trade headlines.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Cooper cup tweets out today that his time with the
Rams is coming to an end. He thought he would
always be a Ram, but the Rams informed him they
want to trade him, and they're working with him to
find the right destination. Obviously, look the Rams reload on
the fly. Is Cooper Cup still Cooper Cup? But what
do you think of this trade?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I don't think Cooper Cups still still Cooper Cup. By
end of Cooper Cup was still Cooper Cup. They'd find
a way to make this work. In the second half
of the season, Cooper Cup really didn't look like Cooper Cup.
And we know he's had an injury history that pregates this,
So you know, I think there's a lot of buyer beware.
It's a tricky contract, you know. I guess in some
(21:09):
ways it's a shame. And that was a hell of
a draft pick. He's been a hell of a player
for them. He's done some incredible things, and he and
Matt Stafford were I mean, as good a connection as
it gets for a while. But yeah, I think, you know,
all things come to an end, and I don't think
they're going to get a ton in return for him,
(21:33):
but I don't think he'll be back.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
I love the line used by the other trade alternative
out there. The goal was never to go from Cleveland
to Canton. It's always been to compete and win a
super Bowl. Miles Carrett says, I'm out, So how many
suitors and what's the hall?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I mean, shooters shouldn't be a problem at all. It's
just going to be I think the Browns coming to
terms with this. I mean again, they've got a tough
cap situation. You know, he may have to be a
little amenable to some things to help facilitate it. And
though he's just gonna have to come to grips with
the fact that he really can't go to war with
(22:14):
a player of this statuta win. I don't you know,
throwing money at him. People will say, well, yeah, he
can get the money anywhere, you know, like not, it's
about Cleveland having maybe Confederate money now, you know, it's
about Cleveland's money not really appealing to him the way
other people's money would appeal to him. Because Cleveland has
(22:35):
been good in forever and now Cleveland is retolling and
the owner made some cataclysmic mistakes and he made some
gambles or his way over his skis. And you know
it wasn't just the Sean Watson. It's you know, they're
they're keeping in Joku. They're keeping, they're running back, they're
they're they're paying to have a top flight offensive line,
(22:56):
which it was for a period of time. They're making
other moves on defense to try to, you know, make
this thing work, and it just it hasn't worked. And
now the cap situation is unwieldly, and so they've got
to you know, I think this is it for job,
and they got to take a quarterback up high, but
he's probably not going to be ready to win right away,
(23:16):
and they're going to take their lumps there, and they've
got to gut wi's left of that offensive line for
cat purposes. And like who's catching the football? Does the
owner really want to spend or is the owner in
a recalibration mode? Now that's pretty clear, the owners in
a recalibration mode. And you know, you're looking at an
individual Mouth Garrett, who's on a first dollar Hall of
Fame path, who has some serious issues with his feet,
(23:40):
who was probably starting to think about his football mortality
in a very more serious way.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Jason, looking for our guests here the Jason smithser with
Mike Harmon live from the tirec dot Com studios. All right, now,
since it is Super Bowl League. We'll get your pick
coming up in a second. But really interesting today, you know,
seeing Roger Goodell do his State of the NFL press
conference and everything. You know, he talked about diversity efforts. Okay, awesome,
and then he was asked about the theory that the
referees are favoring the chiefs and he said that is
(24:09):
a ridiculous theory. Now I understand he's not going to say, oh, absolutely,
it's going to happen, but boy, I mean I kind
of would like a little bit at least of Hey,
the officials are always under scrutiny something Yeah, well, like
a little bit of something going. Hey, I kind of
understand what everybody is talking about here.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Oh jeez, No, I don't think you're going to ever
get him to concede anything remotely like that. And I
look the fact that a question like that might come
up with these guys going for three pet and the
way these games have bought. I guarantee you he was
a lawyered up. He would pretty prep for that, and
they don't want to if there was no way he
was going to start ripping on that topic and opining
(24:49):
about it or you know, it was going to be
very much handled the way it was handled, which is
that's that's enough, that's preposterous. We're moving on. He's got
nothing to gain by saying anything other than that, and
it cut. Yeah, yeah, that's the third rail right there.
He's not playing around with that.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
So that said, we got to get you on record
as we begin Super Bowl Week, the Chiefs and the
Eagles are actually going to finally play some football. Mister
lacofora Who's coming out on top? And what kind of
style of game do you think we get in this fight?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
You know, I think the Chiefs are coming out on
top no matter how this game is played, whether they
start slow, start fast, get a big lead, have to
play from behind. I just don't butnosticate against them in
situations like this. They you know, seventeen and three in
the playoffs, that's going to get my attention. Three and
one in the Super Bowl is going to get my intention.
(25:49):
I suspected something like twenty forty four, maybe a little weird,
twenty nine, twenty seven, something like that. I think it's
a lower scoring first half and maybe things open up
a little bit in the second half. And I do
think the Eagles are going to have to chase this
game a little bit, and I think the Eagles are
going to have to open it up and throw the
(26:11):
ball around a little more than they're accustomed to. And
I think they'll have some success doing that, but I
think it'll also read a turnover too, and that against
the team that is this superior at just being football
geniuses in terms of knowing how to win football games.
You know, any mistake is magnified against these guys. So
I just think two weeks to prepare. I'm running with
(26:33):
the team that excels unlike anybody else in these situations.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking For. That's at Jason
locking For. I see him. Check him out on Odyssey
one O five seven of the fan Washington Post. Jay
as always, Buddy, appreciate it. We'll talk to you next
Monday and break down what could be a three peat
for the Chiefs or Nick Sirianni holding up Saquon Barkley
on his shoulders.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
There we go. Enjoy the game, gentlemen, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Enjoy it, Mike and I'll make our picks, you know,
as the week goes on here. I mean, honestly, we
may not even get to the super Bowl. I mean
the Luca A D trade, we're gonna be feeling that
for the next week. They should postpone the game for
a week. You not have it next wait another Sunday,
have two weeks in between. That way, everybody is really healthy.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Give it a whole. Well.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
I mean, look, if we can get more people healthy,
would that help the NBA players to get on the court.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I think it might.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Can we just delay the schedule for a week? Would
that be?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Okay? So wait, so delay the game, delay the super Bowl,
or delay the season. That way Luca and AD get back.
But h's a.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Well, I mean because they consider on and watch the
super Bowl, that's fine. Yeah, yeah, okay, and then hopefully
that helps in their recovery towards suiting up for their
respective teams.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, all right, I'm with you on either one. I'd
almost like to postpone the NFL just because hey, we
can really go from the super Bowl and then a
week goes by and then it's uh, you know, then
then the Combine.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
We have it on Valentine's Day and then immediately we're
shuffling off to the Combine.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
And then and then a week after that, it's free agency.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
Now I'm coming to report in the middle of that,
and we we get the convergence of a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
No, I really could. I could go for Hey, this
is a really big week in back, especially if, like
you know, if Ad plays in the next game and
Luca plays on Saturday, like, okay, we got you know,
we we have new fresh energy on this story. Keep
everybody in New Orleans for another week. Okay, sorry, but
we'll have another week. Things will go by, and then
uh then then play the game.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Good for tourism, yeah, good for expanding your your your palette.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, as long as there's.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Certainly plenty of other things to see.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
As long as you can actually shuffle people off a
Bourbon street to get a good sense of the rich history,
uh and the rest of what New Orleans has to offer,
then everything everybody wins.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
No, I'm kind of digging that. I'm gonna I'm gonna
text Roger Goodell about that about moving the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
There you go, ask him about the referees again.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He'll love that one.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Oh and Roger, by the way, I follow.

I don't you get paid a million dollars per update.
Good one.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I don't have a comeback for that. It's just it's
so preposterous. There is no joke. That is the joke.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
I thought, if you wanted to get a reaction out
of Roger Goodell at the press conference with the media tonight,
you should have called in and just said, yeah, Roger,
this is Jim trotter from click.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
I think that's how that would have come.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
By the way.

We got to rush out on the court now for
crying out loud. Guys can actually get moved at this

(33:40):
is about thirty six hours old, and already that is
set things going in the NBA. Other teams trying to
answer saying, well, trade went down. We kind of have
to make trades. And there's one trade that's already happened
since that I love, and there's one team trying to
make a trade that's just embarrassing. And then there's only
one trade that matters. It's true, true, we will have Hey,
I'll give you, I'll give you what to be what
(34:02):
to be concerned about with Luca Dodsons coming up about
fifteen minutes. Uh, but uh, the Spurs make the trade,
you know, in the in the after if the in
the after bird of the Luca ad trade, they get
de Aaron Fox from the Kings, a three team trade
in which the Spurs didn't have to give up anybody
didn't have to give up Castle Dead. It was I was,
(34:22):
I was like, okay, so trades can be made if
you want a high priced star and you don't have
to give something up. It's hey, it's the Kings. What
are we gonna do? I told you this when the
when the rumor first came out. By the end of
this year or middle of next year, the Spurs are
gonna be one of the top three teams in the West,
maybe even better, maybe they challenge for the regular season
(34:44):
crown next year. Because really they talked about it today.
Who are you gonna stop? Dearon Fox and Wemby. That's
a pretty big do. Maybe a little bit less of
Wemby around the arc, which is probably okay, but I
mean you're talking about a guard and a big that
can do everything. This is a dev a stating combination
in San Antonio.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
Well, it's the beauty of being able to make a
trade and saying, look, the only place I want to
go is there. Figure it out, Which is why, you know,
in the larger context, why I think the other thing
happened under cover of night.
Speaker 6 (35:14):
But we'll get back into that as we continue the show.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
For this, I mean, Daron Fox has been a fantastic
guy operating in anonymity for years. Every once in a while,
you know, you'd see him on a list like don't
forget that guy's pretty good. And obviously because we're on
the West Coast, we get some of those great games,
you know, when they're matched up against the Blazers and stuff.
But now you go and a guy in Victor women
(35:39):
Yama that you know the superlatives have run out in
his second season, and you add another piece without getting
rid of Castle, without having to get rid of Keldon Johnson,
without Vassal, I mean.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
You're able to keep your component parts. And this is
the key.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
The curiosity of how these games of poker are being
played and how much you're able to sell on the
idea of well, i mean, look, the lottery, the draft
picks aren't gonna be any good. Believe us, believe us. Wait,
you guys are gonna be a really good team.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Ah, that's all right.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
You know, you'll you'll find the diamond in the rough
down there in the twenties somehow, some way. That's the
thing that's always funny to me when these trades happen.
It's like, yeah, we're gonna give you all these draft picks, Like,
but won't they actually be good? So aren't these all
actually really diminished properties that you have to hit one
hundred percent not just one hundred percent, you know, go
(36:33):
the superlative of you've got to find the guy that
somehow because the questions about his upbringing, his history, his
academic prowess, how he doesn't read a whiteboard properly, whatever
the case is, that suddenly they become a guy in
the twenties that you're gonna figure out. That's what always
is always just most fun when we see, yeah, they
(36:54):
got all these first round picks.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Like who cares?
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Give me a guy that can actually step between the
white line, uh and the spurs one in a big way.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I mean, really, it's gonna ye, there'll be a top
four NBA team and within a year they'll be they
kept all their tech. Was an insanely great trade. Like
it shows you trades like this ken be that you
don't have to sit back and say, oh, it's too daunting.
Teams are gonna want to, you know, ransom us for something. No,
you can make a trade. You really can make a
trade and get a player like that and not have
to give up all kinds of stuff. Now this gets
(37:24):
us to the Golden State Warriors, because I loved the
Shams report earlier today that according to Shams and sources
around the league the Warriors have called every single team
in the NBA about their star player. And I said,
they've called everybody about hey, well, because they are bent
on getting another star player to come play alongside Steph Curry. Right.
(37:46):
And when when I saw this, I just laughed. I said,
how how how close they are now to being a
team that's just another team in the NBA. Like they
had the fast Lane for a decade, and when they
had the Lash Brothers and Draymond and KD. It was
it was Camelot, man, it was incredible. But now, hey,
Bob Myers leaves, Mike Dunn, Leavy Junior is really struggling.
(38:10):
And so now you're the point where we're just calling
teams for stars. Do you have a plan. No, there's
no plan. We will take any star, anybody. Yeah, well,
how's it gonna Is it gonna fit with?
Speaker 6 (38:19):
What do you have?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
The team doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We just need
a start. We need to keep stuff happening, you know,
try to keep this going. We need a start. We'll
take anybody. Oh really, but you would you rather have
a big would? I don't care. Whatever star we can
get we're going to get. Like, what kind of plan
is this? Like really, what kind of plan is this
to say we just want a star player? But but
but who do you want? It doesn't matter. We're calling
everybody and to all the other twenty nine teams in
(38:41):
the NBA are all getting phone calls. There's not that
many stars, but the other twelve teams in the NBA
fifteen teams are getting phone calls about their stars. Would
you trade this guy? It's like in fantasy, like me saying, Okay,
my team is not playing very well. I need another
I need another big player on my team. Doesn't matter
if it's a wide receiver, running back, quarterback. I gotta
get trade. I gotta gonna get somebody big. So i'body
(39:02):
just canvas the league to see who could trade me
somebody really really good. Like this works in fantasy, In
the NBA, you can't just call it. Say you give
me one of your stars. I don't care which one.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
I got, no problem with it.
Speaker 7 (39:14):
Right, you might find the Sacramento Kings might pick up
the phone, and you might get another star that randomly
falls into your hands. Wait, you want, you want what? Yeah,
roll off a couple more of those second round picks
for him. They seem to like those you never know
right he As you you canvas the room, the odds
are that you're going to find I don't know, go
(39:35):
back to our old familiar movie reference of draft day.
You might find that young Jacksonville Jaguars GM on the
other end of the line.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah, but who knows if they have something that works?
What if what if the star is a shooting guard?
Right like like well like like we would tray young
play well with Steph Curry. Boy, that's gonna be tough.
That's gonna be two guys that.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
They have, gonna be entertaining, and they'll kill each other
for the basketball.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
They'll be bearing each other across the point line. I
dare you to cross the three point line.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
But literally, if you're done, Levy, at this point, you're like,
all right, here's my roster. I gotta shake something up
because we need to at least make it more palatable
because they've been just a team for a while. Now
that just happens to have a star. This is the
sad run of the circus coming through the town one
more time with the outgoing clown that he's about set
(40:22):
for retirement here, not that I want to call Steph
Curry a clown, but you get my point that it's done.
It's the last run through one more time. But take
your favorite concert. Hey, this I promise this is the
retirement tour. That's what Stephan company have been for a while.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yeah, but wouldn't you have this plan in place before
They just want to call the week before they're not.
Speaker 6 (40:44):
Pay it calls. No, it's a complete script.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
We got more NBA on the way, A reason to
be incredibly optimistic and incredibly nervous. If you're the Lakers
getting Lukadancic, that's next time. Watch it.

Ti rack dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
you know, I normally like our weekend, my weekend off.
I get time to wait, to recharge and you know, okay,
(01:02):
I get some time. We got a couple of days. Yes,
no football this weekend. Now apparently we don't even need football.
With the aftermath of the Luka Doncic Anthony Davis trade
that goes down Saturday night, and it's still insane to
think about, even a day and a half later, that
this trade actually went down. You know Frostburg to say,
or I know you guys were insane when it happened.
(01:23):
Although Frostburg I got it, say, I got a bone
to pick with you, man. I mean, I knew this
was legit. I knew this was legit trade. I called
you three times. You didn't answer your phone. I even
called your wife's phone to tell you, dude, you just
traded for Luca Donjons. Nope, don't pick up your phone
at all. I even texted you, pick up your phone.
I know something, and you never called me back. You
(01:45):
didn't pick up your phone the entire time. Sorry to
tell you, Jason, he's at the Laker parade right now.
That's what it was like. I'm telling you, man, when
the trade goes down on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
The Sham tweet, we should say, yes.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
The Sham's tweet comes out, and right away there was
all the I don't know if it's real as it
reels at not right, and I knew right away it
was just because if Shams is so obviously being on
social media as much as as much as he is.
You know, he lives and you know lives and breeze
on social media. If someone hacked him and put that
trade out there, there would have been some kind of
(02:25):
of of of tweet right after. There would have been
some sort of of hey, this didn't happen. Hey my
my account got hacked. What's happening? And there wasn't and
you could tell it was the real All you gotta
do is click on and see if he's got millions
and millions of followers and that's him, so you knew
it was there, and it was it was. It was
insane and eventually.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
La Times Chris Haynes, they came out.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Damn WAKEI had it. You know, it comes on the
show all the time. Laker insider says, yes, I can
tell you this trade happened. It's dude, It's like, oh
my goodness. Now I was really happy because I know, okay, well,
now I don't have to worry about Frostburd telling me
you're gonna wear this. Bakers went over the Nick Smith,
You're gonna a wear this on Monday Night. We're gonna
play the highlights all the time. It's like, did that
even happen? It doesn't even matter. And the next are
(03:09):
gonna beat the Rockets house that doesn't matter. So I'm
driving and two big things like it hits me. I'm like,
this is almost like when when when I had my
daughter and I'm calling everybody to tell them right, like,
because i know people Laker for everybody I know, I'm
calling to talk to them every Hey, dude, this happened.
This is this trade is real? What's going on? And
on the way as I'm driving talking to people like
(03:31):
I'm driving, you know, probably about a ten minute drive.
This is just you know, the suburban Los Angeles and
people are driving and they're honking their horns and they're
yelling out the window, and it was like the Lakers
won the title like this, the excitement you could tell
was just it just captured the city, the Luca for
eighty trade. Look, La is a basketball time. We've been
(03:51):
a basketball town for a long time, right, one of
the few true basketball towns where hey, what's number one basketball?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You know, let you know.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
You're right because as people when we talk in the
football context about Los Angeles, and it was a conversation
for years when there was no franchise, we like you
and I living in Los Angeles for years, had to
remind people it's Lakers and Dodgers. Anything else, even when
USC football was dominant is a distant third.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's Lakers Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, I was. I was stunned with the draw. It was.
It was really it was like riding a wave. Like
look at all these they're just yelling out the way
they yelling Lakers out the window stages, and these are
just these are just on the streets beeping their horns,
Laker flags are out on the cars. Like this trade
is like eight minutes old, and this is and this
is what's going on right now a little longer than that.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Can I just add some Laker fan that I knew
usually takes a leisurely Sunday and just has the Sunday
paper and exhales for the day.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It didn't make it into the Sunday paper.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
This morning, I get a text ad is gone, Yes,
yes it happened like forty eight hours ago.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yes, you said, oh no, no, that was a fake
trade didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yeah, well it didn't actually officially happen till today. The
Lakers did announce yes, press conference with Luca tomorrow morning
he arrived private plane.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Last night they rescinded the deal because everybody is mad
about it.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
No, because everybody's hurt all the time. That that would
actually be a real realistic heck and tweet that.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, because Ai David Stern has negated the deal for
basketball reason, we do.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Know officially that Anthony Davis now with Dallas, is not
playing tomorrow. He's with missed a week. And we can
add to that with the abdominal string. I mean, I
I it was.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm calling people and it's and it's just a crazy
situation and I'm like, I'm really at Frostburg, Like where
were you?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Man?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Like, like you, how do you not pick I even text?
You pick up your phone? How do you not pick
up your phone? That I was having a garden party
okay like Donald Sturk, Yeah, like the domination at the
garden Saturday night by my Lakers.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Okay, Madison Square garden party.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
See once again we all forgot there was a game
on Saturday night. Yeah, why well no, because we texted.
The thing is we texted right after the game and
you can all caps. You're gonna wear this on Monday.
Party started Steve.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, and if you thought for one second I was
gonna let Jason Smith into the ring party for the Lakers.
Getting Luca the ring party was magic. There was heating
benefits of my happiness.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Can we all just do we all agree that if
Nicks Lakers had been a day game Saturday, this would
have been announced much earlier instead of what midnight or
so eastern as it was.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, yeah, I mean picking up Steve, I can't believe. No,
I'm never gonna call you again for something when I
know something cool before you, I'm never gonna do. I'm'
say you find it on your own. Fine, you're out
of the will you I don't want to be in
the will I don't want to be here. Okay, I'm okay,
I'm not I don't want to be in there.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
So did you just get into your car and start
driving up and down the street. Get the speaker on
the hood like you're running for office.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Vote for mayor Oldie will said, reelect mayor Goldie Wilson.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Back to the future.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
The Lakers have a start ahead for the next I mean,
we're we're assuming he's going to sign an extension and
be the face of the Lakers for a decade after
Lebron's done, right.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, I mean, look, I mean you saw that this
this trade still has a lot of shock waves going
on throughout the NBA. And let me just say this
now because I can. The one argument that I feel
against this deal, It is knee jerk, emotional and shallow.
Is you know, so you know, I is the all
Dallas should have gotten way more for Luka Doncic than that. Okay, Okay,
(07:35):
I understand that. Oh it seems like, oh they should
have gotten way more for Luka Doncic. Okay, Well, let's
understand that this trade didn't happen in a vacuum. Right.
The extension he has due for this summer is over
three hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Dollars because he had re signed with his original teams.
This exact greatness of the NBA rules so that everybody
doesn't go to the more famous team automatically.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Right, So obviously, and Brian Windhorse talked about this on
Saturday night that hey, they didn't want to pay him
that contract. Right. You don't want to lose Luca for
nothing if you're not gonna sign him. And there are
a lot of reports that he was not going to
re sign with Dallas. Yeah, you get to a point
where do we just keep it going like this when
we know the team is not a title contending team,
(08:19):
or do we get out in front and maybe lose
Luca a little bit earlier and instead of losing him
for nothing, we wind up getting a top ten NBA
player in him and Anthony Davis, right, because that that's
kind of the dilemma that they had. This wasn't keep
Luca or trade him. This was well, they were set
up with three hundred and fifty million dollars he was doing.
Clearly they weren't gonna pay him, and and the whole
(08:41):
deal that they should have gotten more like, what do
you want? What's a better deal? If you got four
first round picks, that would have been enough. I don't think.
I don't think. And a lot of NBA fans understand
that NBA first round picks aren't NFL first round picks.
These are not These are not dynasty franchise caliber players.
You're getting first round picks. Yeah. Yeah, the Nicks traded
(09:02):
away fourth first round picks from a Calibridge just because
odds are they're not going to draft four guys that
put them together. You could be making one out of
mclibridge as well. We'll take this guy's left arm, these guys' legs,
this guy's head. Uh, that's not gonna happen. The first
round picks in the NBA are lottery tickets. Unless you
have the first overall pick. When a guy like Wemby
or Cooper Flagg is coming out, well, guess what, it's
(09:22):
a it's a it's a it's a it's a dice roll.
How good your guy's gonna be. Sometimes you draft in
the first round for four years from now, Hey, this
guy's really become a player. Now we're three four years
under the league and he's become somebody who's really good. Well,
guess what. A lot of teams don't have the patience
for that. So first round picks, yeah whatever? Would four
first round picks make you feel better?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The Lakers, the Lakers had them, they would have given
them up. First round picks are nothing, they're they're a
lottery ticket. So and on the other side, is you
wanted three almost stars for him, because that's the other
thing is that, Okay, if you're trading a star player,
what do you want to get? Oh, we want to
get a bevy a package of players. So you want
three players who are just okay what you want. You
want three above average players that make it sound like
(10:03):
they can show up and be stars. You want rotation
guys that you they got a superstar in exchange for
Luka Doncic and it's the best deal they could have gotten.
While still pulling that deal off, right, because this is
the thing. When you're gonna trade a superstar, you can't
just put them on the trading block because the deals
aren't gonna come through. You're not gonna get great offers.
It's gonna wind up getting really messy for a long time.
(10:25):
This is a deal that had to keep everybody in
the dark until it happens, and then hey, eighty gets traded,
Luca gets traded, and then we react to it. This
is a trade that you can't just throw a guy
out on the block and say, hey, give us your
offers for Luca, because then you're not gonna get a
superstar offers. No one's gonna trade a superstar to get
Luca back. So I don't understand the trade that people wanted.
(10:47):
You weren't gonna get a star player back because look,
look at the top ten twelve players in the league.
Who's gonna say, hey, we'll give you our guy for Luca. Nobody.
Nobody's in the Spurs aren't gonna trade Renby for Luca.
The Knicks aren't gonna trade Jalen Brunson for none. But
the Lakers would trade a d for for him because hey,
they still have the star in Lebron. They needed a chance,
They needed to do something different to make it work.
(11:08):
So yeah, this is the trade that happens. So when
you understand that that they weren't going to get a
star that you want to start back instead of three
ok players and draft picks they had, they got what
they could get for him. They were bent on trading him.
They even called another team and got rebuffed. So what
was Luka Doncic's value really throughout the NB if they
called somebody else and somebody else already said no, okay,
(11:30):
we got to do this deal. They got a really
good player. Yes, does ad have injury problems, Yes, but
guess what, Luca's got injury problems too. So now that
you know all that, when you look back at the
trade that the that the Mavericks made to get this
They kind of got the best deal they could get.
They got a star player. Yes, they traded away a
guy who's a top five player, but you wanted to
trade him. You weren't gonna sign him. He was gonna
(11:52):
leave anyway. You got a top ten player back. That's
about as good as you're gonna get in a trade
for Luka doncis So. I don't know what people want.
I just want something else. What do you want? You
want other teams around the league? You want Shake Gildes Alexander,
You think that's gonna happen. You want Anthony Yetna, No,
none of those deals were gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
It ticked off Dallas fans because they just went to
the finals with this guy and they've seen him be
all NBA five years in a row, which reminds me,
by a way of Mookie Betts winning a Gold Glove
five years in a row, and then the Red Sox
training him, and then the Dodger's signing to a long
term contract and he might be finishing the career there oddly.
And then as far as draft picks, you just mentioned
that they're a crapshoot in the NBA more than some
(12:29):
other places. I just randomly looked at the NBA draft
of five years ago, which is when Anthony Edwards and
LaMelo Ball were each taken in the top three. Selected
right after those guys, Patrick Williams, Isaac Ocoro, Onyeka Coongwu,
Killian hayes Obi Toppin need I go on, these are
top ten picks in the first round, not just first rounders.
(12:51):
Top ten in the first round.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, I mean, I really I don't understand what people wanted. Well,
I wanted more, Okay, So tell me, tell me the
trade that was gonna happen. Tell me, were the Sixers
gonna trade you Tyrese Maxi for No, they weren't gonna
do that.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
GM's were ticked off that they didn't get a chance
to offer more.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
It's not just the Dallas fans TikTok.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, by the way, because that would happened.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
The Knicks did wind up winning against the Houston Rockets
one twenty four one eighteen tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Of course they did because they looked at and Jalis.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Danson scored forty two points.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Of course? Of course? Look, the Knicks's got their ast beats.
Sound you almost killed Ogan Unobi on Saturday. So I'm
mad at you for that, but it's okay.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And he did not play sprain foot.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Tonight, Knicks out scored Houston by seventeen in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
They barely won. It's that Jason Smith Show with Mike

the Mavericks could have, mate. I like it. They got

going to trade them away anyway. So this is the
best you're gonna get. You got ad, that's a great trade.

you today for a trade.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
I didn't answer.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Oh okay.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I took a cue from Frostburg.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Having a party of my own, and I wanted no
part of, you know, harshing, any of the vibes I
was feeling in the moment.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You didn't really think I was letting Smith into my
Luca party, did you?
Speaker 6 (16:57):
No? No, are you kidding me? Saturday night? I mean,
and he woke me up.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
All the crap you've talked about the Lakers over the years,
Jason Jay, I was calling to give you great and
you're out of the will that I know. I don't
want to be in the will. I was giving you
great news. I'll never call you. I'll let you be
miserable for an extra four minutes from now on until
big news happens that you would like. I knew it
five minutes before you called it.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
I think if you do get included in a will,
there's a potential that you become one of the people
they can track down for money if later found.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
But now you woke me up.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
I was in my nap ahead of my Sunday morning show,
and that completely changed the show. What's normally Fox Football
Sunday was no more.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, and I told you don't worry about it. Prepping
you had here's your topic, go back to sleep.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Well and then I wanted to talk about Zach Levine.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Hey, come on, well, we're gonna have more NBA on
the way, reacting to a trade that's still we are
shaking from, but joining us. Now I'm the hotline. There's
big NFL news, a couple of big stars on the
trade block. One doesn't want to be on it, one
does want to be on it. Nobody better to talk
to longtime NFL insider Odyssey one O five seven the
(18:03):
Fan in Baltimore Washington Post. He's on Twitter at Jason
Locking for it is Jason lock And for what's happening? Jay?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well, what's going on? Gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
All right, man, I'll tell you well, we're still the
Luca ad tro I don't know that we need the
Super Bowl this week.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Jay.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
We could postpone it a week because we're going to
talk about this trade for the next four days.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Do we know when they're playing? When when either one
like I saw ad is suddenly now listed as questionable tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Yeah, Luca in theory is Saturday.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah. Yeah, so in theory, yeah, and then we're a
month away from them playing each other.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Right, you know, we'll say teams pretty bizarre. He wouldn't
shop a player of Lucas caliber around the whole league
for a while, or I don't know, make that trade
in the offseason.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
But we'll say so, is the NFL equivalent to something
like this, like two MVP finalists getting traded mid season
for each other? I mean, is there an NFL equivalent
to this?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I don't. I mean nothing leaps out. I mean, first
of all, like we know the history of NFL trades, right,
the minimal for years TMS just said, oh, it's too
much of a team's part. You can't. You know, trades
don't make sense. And even when they happened, they were
usually in the off season, and it's usually for picks, right,
I mean that other team usually just wants draft pick capital.
(19:22):
So I mean player for player trades are rare. Player
for player trades of any significance of any stature are
exceedingly rare. I mean, when they do happen in this league,
it's my bust draft pick for your bus draft pick, right,
I really need a corner. You really need a lot
of receiver. I took a lot of receiver in the
first round two years ago. But you can't do a
damn thing for me. You took a corner in the
(19:43):
first round two years ago. He can't do a damn
thing for you. We like your guy coming out of college.
You liked our guy coming out of college.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Let's here we go. Yeah, that's that's what you get
in the NFL. So no, I don't. I mean, I mean,
like the Herschel Walker trade was huge, but that was
you know what I mean, that was mostly draft picks.
I mean the Lway trade, he wasn't even playing in
the league yet, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And like.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Chris Hinton, I mean, they were players in it. But
I mean, like, come on, uh yeah, no, this is
this is the NFL.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I don't think Coopers all right, Well, let's get to
some of the big trade rumors. Say maybe the NFL says, hey,
wait a minute, we want to make some trade headlines.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Cooper cup tweets out today that his time with the
Rams is coming to an end. He thought he would
always be a Ram, but the Rams informed him they
want to trade him, and they're working with him to
find the right destination. Obviously, look the Rams reload on
the fly. Is Cooper Cup still Cooper Cup? But what
do you think of this trade?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I don't think Cooper Cups still still Cooper Cup. By
end of Cooper Cup was still Cooper Cup. They'd find
a way to make this work. In the second half
of the season, Cooper Cup really didn't look like Cooper Cup.
And we know he's had an injury history that pregates this,
So you know, I think there's a lot of buyer beware.
It's a tricky contract, you know. I guess in some
(21:09):
ways it's a shame. And that was a hell of
a draft pick. He's been a hell of a player
for them. He's done some incredible things, and he and
Matt Stafford were I mean, as good a connection as
it gets for a while. But yeah, I think, you know,
all things come to an end, and I don't think
they're going to get a ton in return for him,
(21:33):
but I don't think he'll be back.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
I love the line used by the other trade alternative
out there. The goal was never to go from Cleveland
to Canton. It's always been to compete and win a
super Bowl. Miles Carrett says, I'm out, So how many
suitors and what's the hall?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I mean, shooters shouldn't be a problem at all. It's
just going to be I think the Browns coming to
terms with this. I mean again, they've got a tough
cap situation. You know, he may have to be a
little amenable to some things to help facilitate it. And
though he's just gonna have to come to grips with
the fact that he really can't go to war with
(22:14):
a player of this statuta win. I don't you know,
throwing money at him. People will say, well, yeah, he
can get the money anywhere, you know, like not, it's
about Cleveland having maybe Confederate money now, you know, it's
about Cleveland's money not really appealing to him the way
other people's money would appeal to him. Because Cleveland has
(22:35):
been good in forever and now Cleveland is retolling and
the owner made some cataclysmic mistakes and he made some
gambles or his way over his skis. And you know
it wasn't just the Sean Watson. It's you know, they're
they're keeping in Joku. They're keeping, they're running back, they're
they're they're paying to have a top flight offensive line,
(22:56):
which it was for a period of time. They're making
other moves on defense to try to, you know, make
this thing work, and it just it hasn't worked. And
now the cap situation is unwieldly, and so they've got
to you know, I think this is it for job,
and they got to take a quarterback up high, but
he's probably not going to be ready to win right away,
(23:16):
and they're going to take their lumps there, and they've
got to gut wi's left of that offensive line for
cat purposes. And like who's catching the football? Does the
owner really want to spend or is the owner in
a recalibration mode? Now that's pretty clear, the owners in
a recalibration mode. And you know, you're looking at an
individual Mouth Garrett, who's on a first dollar Hall of
Fame path, who has some serious issues with his feet,
(23:40):
who was probably starting to think about his football mortality
in a very more serious way.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Jason, looking for our guests here the Jason smithser with
Mike Harmon live from the tirec dot Com studios. All right, now,
since it is Super Bowl League. We'll get your pick
coming up in a second. But really interesting today, you know,
seeing Roger Goodell do his State of the NFL press
conference and everything. You know, he talked about diversity efforts. Okay, awesome,
and then he was asked about the theory that the
referees are favoring the chiefs and he said that is
(24:09):
a ridiculous theory. Now I understand he's not going to say, oh, absolutely,
it's going to happen, but boy, I mean I kind
of would like a little bit at least of Hey,
the officials are always under scrutiny something Yeah, well, like
a little bit of something going. Hey, I kind of
understand what everybody is talking about here.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Oh jeez, No, I don't think you're going to ever
get him to concede anything remotely like that. And I
look the fact that a question like that might come
up with these guys going for three pet and the
way these games have bought. I guarantee you he was
a lawyered up. He would pretty prep for that, and
they don't want to if there was no way he
was going to start ripping on that topic and opining
(24:49):
about it or you know, it was going to be
very much handled the way it was handled, which is
that's that's enough, that's preposterous. We're moving on. He's got
nothing to gain by saying anything other than that, and
it cut. Yeah, yeah, that's the third rail right there.
He's not playing around with that.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
So that said, we got to get you on record
as we begin Super Bowl Week, the Chiefs and the
Eagles are actually going to finally play some football. Mister
lacofora Who's coming out on top? And what kind of
style of game do you think we get in this fight?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
You know, I think the Chiefs are coming out on
top no matter how this game is played, whether they
start slow, start fast, get a big lead, have to
play from behind. I just don't butnosticate against them in
situations like this. They you know, seventeen and three in
the playoffs, that's going to get my attention. Three and
one in the Super Bowl is going to get my intention.
(25:49):
I suspected something like twenty forty four, maybe a little weird,
twenty nine, twenty seven, something like that. I think it's
a lower scoring first half and maybe things open up
a little bit in the second half. And I do
think the Eagles are going to have to chase this
game a little bit, and I think the Eagles are
going to have to open it up and throw the
(26:11):
ball around a little more than they're accustomed to. And
I think they'll have some success doing that, but I
think it'll also read a turnover too, and that against
the team that is this superior at just being football
geniuses in terms of knowing how to win football games.
You know, any mistake is magnified against these guys. So
I just think two weeks to prepare. I'm running with
(26:33):
the team that excels unlike anybody else in these situations.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
He's on Twitter at Jason locking For. That's at Jason
locking For. I see him. Check him out on Odyssey
one O five seven of the fan Washington Post. Jay
as always, Buddy, appreciate it. We'll talk to you next
Monday and break down what could be a three peat
for the Chiefs or Nick Sirianni holding up Saquon Barkley
on his shoulders.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
There we go. Enjoy the game, gentlemen, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Enjoy it, Mike and I'll make our picks, you know,
as the week goes on here. I mean, honestly, we
may not even get to the super Bowl. I mean
the Luca A D trade, we're gonna be feeling that
for the next week. They should postpone the game for
a week. You not have it next wait another Sunday,
have two weeks in between. That way, everybody is really healthy.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Give it a whole. Well.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
I mean, look, if we can get more people healthy,
would that help the NBA players to get on the court.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I think it might.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Can we just delay the schedule for a week? Would
that be?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Okay? So wait, so delay the game, delay the super Bowl,
or delay the season. That way Luca and AD get back.
But h's a.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Well, I mean because they consider on and watch the
super Bowl, that's fine. Yeah, yeah, okay, and then hopefully
that helps in their recovery towards suiting up for their
respective teams.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, all right, I'm with you on either one. I'd
almost like to postpone the NFL just because hey, we
can really go from the super Bowl and then a
week goes by and then it's uh, you know, then
then the Combine.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
We have it on Valentine's Day and then immediately we're
shuffling off to the Combine.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
And then and then a week after that, it's free agency.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
Now I'm coming to report in the middle of that,
and we we get the convergence of a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
No, I really could. I could go for Hey, this
is a really big week in back, especially if, like
you know, if Ad plays in the next game and
Luca plays on Saturday, like, okay, we got you know,
we we have new fresh energy on this story. Keep
everybody in New Orleans for another week. Okay, sorry, but
we'll have another week. Things will go by, and then
uh then then play the game.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Good for tourism, yeah, good for expanding your your your palette.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, as long as there's.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Certainly plenty of other things to see.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
As long as you can actually shuffle people off a
Bourbon street to get a good sense of the rich history,
uh and the rest of what New Orleans has to offer,
then everything everybody wins.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
No, I'm kind of digging that. I'm gonna I'm gonna
text Roger Goodell about that about moving the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
There you go, ask him about the referees again.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He'll love that one.
Speaker 6 (28:54):

so preposterous. There is no joke. That is the joke.

you should have called in and just said, yeah, Roger,

a little bit of both. Two big stories on the

(33:40):
is about thirty six hours old, and already that is
set things going in the NBA. Other teams trying to
answer saying, well, trade went down. We kind of have
to make trades. And there's one trade that's already happened
since that I love, and there's one team trying to
make a trade that's just embarrassing. And then there's only
one trade that matters. It's true, true, we will have Hey,
I'll give you, I'll give you what to be what
(34:02):
to be concerned about with Luca Dodsons coming up about
fifteen minutes. Uh, but uh, the Spurs make the trade,
you know, in the in the after if the in
the after bird of the Luca ad trade, they get
de Aaron Fox from the Kings, a three team trade
in which the Spurs didn't have to give up anybody
didn't have to give up Castle Dead. It was I was,
(34:22):
I was like, okay, so trades can be made if
you want a high priced star and you don't have
to give something up. It's hey, it's the Kings. What
are we gonna do? I told you this when the
when the rumor first came out. By the end of
this year or middle of next year, the Spurs are
gonna be one of the top three teams in the West,
maybe even better, maybe they challenge for the regular season
(34:44):
crown next year. Because really they talked about it today.
Who are you gonna stop? Dearon Fox and Wemby. That's
a pretty big do. Maybe a little bit less of
Wemby around the arc, which is probably okay, but I
mean you're talking about a guard and a big that
can do everything. This is a dev a stating combination
in San Antonio.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
Well, it's the beauty of being able to make a
trade and saying, look, the only place I want to
go is there. Figure it out, Which is why, you know,
in the larger context, why I think the other thing
happened under cover of night.
Speaker 6 (35:14):
But we'll get back into that as we continue the show.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
For this, I mean, Daron Fox has been a fantastic
guy operating in anonymity for years. Every once in a while,
you know, you'd see him on a list like don't
forget that guy's pretty good. And obviously because we're on
the West Coast, we get some of those great games,
you know, when they're matched up against the Blazers and stuff.
But now you go and a guy in Victor women
(35:39):
Yama that you know the superlatives have run out in
his second season, and you add another piece without getting
rid of Castle, without having to get rid of Keldon Johnson,
without Vassal, I mean.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
You're able to keep your component parts. And this is
the key.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
The curiosity of how these games of poker are being
played and how much you're able to sell on the
idea of well, i mean, look, the lottery, the draft
picks aren't gonna be any good. Believe us, believe us. Wait,
you guys are gonna be a really good team.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Ah, that's all right.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
You know, you'll you'll find the diamond in the rough
down there in the twenties somehow, some way. That's the
thing that's always funny to me when these trades happen.
It's like, yeah, we're gonna give you all these draft picks, Like,
but won't they actually be good? So aren't these all
actually really diminished properties that you have to hit one
hundred percent not just one hundred percent, you know, go
(36:33):
the superlative of you've got to find the guy that
somehow because the questions about his upbringing, his history, his
academic prowess, how he doesn't read a whiteboard properly, whatever
the case is, that suddenly they become a guy in
the twenties that you're gonna figure out. That's what always
is always just most fun when we see, yeah, they
(36:54):
got all these first round picks.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Like who cares?
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Give me a guy that can actually step between the
white line, uh and the spurs one in a big way.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I mean, really, it's gonna ye, there'll be a top
four NBA team and within a year they'll be they
kept all their tech. Was an insanely great trade. Like
it shows you trades like this ken be that you
don't have to sit back and say, oh, it's too daunting.
Teams are gonna want to, you know, ransom us for something. No,
you can make a trade. You really can make a
trade and get a player like that and not have
to give up all kinds of stuff. Now this gets
(37:24):
us to the Golden State Warriors, because I loved the
Shams report earlier today that according to Shams and sources
around the league the Warriors have called every single team
in the NBA about their star player. And I said,
they've called everybody about hey, well, because they are bent
on getting another star player to come play alongside Steph Curry. Right.
(37:46):
And when when I saw this, I just laughed. I said,
how how how close they are now to being a
team that's just another team in the NBA. Like they
had the fast Lane for a decade, and when they
had the Lash Brothers and Draymond and KD. It was
it was Camelot, man, it was incredible. But now, hey,
Bob Myers leaves, Mike Dunn, Leavy Junior is really struggling.
(38:10):
And so now you're the point where we're just calling
teams for stars. Do you have a plan. No, there's
no plan. We will take any star, anybody. Yeah, well,
how's it gonna Is it gonna fit with?
Speaker 6 (38:19):
What do you have?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
The team doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We just need
a start. We need to keep stuff happening, you know,
try to keep this going. We need a start. We'll
take anybody. Oh really, but you would you rather have
a big would? I don't care. Whatever star we can
get we're going to get. Like, what kind of plan
is this? Like really, what kind of plan is this
to say we just want a star player? But but
but who do you want? It doesn't matter. We're calling
everybody and to all the other twenty nine teams in
(38:41):
the NBA are all getting phone calls. There's not that
many stars, but the other twelve teams in the NBA
fifteen teams are getting phone calls about their stars. Would
you trade this guy? It's like in fantasy, like me saying, Okay,
my team is not playing very well. I need another
I need another big player on my team. Doesn't matter
if it's a wide receiver, running back, quarterback. I gotta
get trade. I gotta gonna get somebody big. So i'body
(39:02):
just canvas the league to see who could trade me
somebody really really good. Like this works in fantasy, In
the NBA, you can't just call it. Say you give
me one of your stars. I don't care which one.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
I got, no problem with it.
Speaker 7 (39:14):
Right, you might find the Sacramento Kings might pick up
the phone, and you might get another star that randomly
falls into your hands. Wait, you want, you want what? Yeah,
roll off a couple more of those second round picks
for him. They seem to like those you never know
right he As you you canvas the room, the odds
are that you're going to find I don't know, go
(39:35):
back to our old familiar movie reference of draft day.
You might find that young Jacksonville Jaguars GM on the
other end of the line.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah, but who knows if they have something that works?
What if what if the star is a shooting guard?
Right like like well like like we would tray young
play well with Steph Curry. Boy, that's gonna be tough.
That's gonna be two guys that.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
They have, gonna be entertaining, and they'll kill each other
for the basketball.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
They'll be bearing each other across the point line. I
dare you to cross the three point line.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
But literally, if you're done, Levy, at this point, you're like,
all right, here's my roster. I gotta shake something up
because we need to at least make it more palatable
because they've been just a team for a while. Now
that just happens to have a star. This is the
sad run of the circus coming through the town one
more time with the outgoing clown that he's about set
(40:22):
for retirement here, not that I want to call Steph
Curry a clown, but you get my point that it's done.
It's the last run through one more time. But take
your favorite concert. Hey, this I promise this is the
retirement tour. That's what Stephan company have been for a while.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yeah, but wouldn't you have this plan in place before
They just want to call the week before they're not.
Speaker 6 (40:44):
Pay it calls. No, it's a complete script.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
We got more NBA on the way, A reason to
be incredibly optimistic and incredibly nervous. If you're the Lakers
getting Lukadancic, that's next time. Watch it.
