way to put some tape on that or something, masking
tape or something.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
I don't believe it, not saying we don't do it.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
From time to time we do iMedia media people who
are not in the news.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I'm talking about not in the news, not beefing with somebody. Yeah,
I mean, I don't beef with people. There's no reason

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Hold on now, hold on, now, what are you talking about?

I don't beef with anybody.
Speaker 5 (06:58):

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I'll on you. But I'm I'm talking about but but you.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Were in they you do silent beefs that they're dead
to you and they just didn't know it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
They don't know until they can't get to It's all
good what.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
You're trying to say. Some people can't come through.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
And ABJ good luck. Don't approach me, all right? Hey,
Rob g news in the NBA.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Yeah, breaking news. Right before we got on air. We
kind of felt it coming and it hit in a
big way. According to ESPN Shaan Sharanya, Victor Wambanyama, Rob
Parker's favorite Frenchman at least temporarily got Everyone.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Knows the twim Ugh Ugh got himself a new extension
in San Antonio.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
It sounds good at first, you know he's gonna be
making five years two fifty two. The only problem is
he was eligible for five years three oh two.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
It'sok.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
A fifty million.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Dollar haircut to help out the front office there in
San Antonio, and mister Parker is not very happy about it.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Makes no sense. Wimby, Wemby, what are you doing? You've
been brainwashed too. It is unbelievable how these athletes have
been brainwashed by front office people owners. Has he looked
at the landscape of what's happened, how players have been
(08:24):
traded away because they don't want to get the owners
don't want to pay these guys don't want to get
these extensions. And you're taking fifty million less than you
have to for what reason? For what reason? Why do
you need to take less? Let them figure out what
they're doing. Wemby, you should be a guy who leads
(08:46):
the way. You're the next guy in the NBA. You're
the guy who people can look at and follow, and
you're a young guy with a long career. Don't do this.
You can't do this again. It's the a colossal mistake.
You should get what you're entitled to. Ask the GM
(09:08):
did he take a cut so that there's more money
for the other staffers? As the owner? Will he have
a cap on profits? How about an owner's profits cap? Kelvin,
If I said that owners can only make ten percent
profit on their investment, how many would sell the team
the next day? They wouldn't go for that right as
(09:29):
an owner? Why in the world are players dumb? And
I say that seriously, Like this whole idea of Patrick
Mahomes was bamboozl signed one of the worst contracts ever saw.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They touted five hundred million.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Rob g sixty three million was guaranteed when he signed
the contract.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Who did they get rid of?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
They got rid of everybody right like Tyreek Kill had
to go, Honey Badger had to go, Snead had to go,
and then don't forget Chris Jones had to sit out
to get his money. But they told Patrick, yo, if
you don't take as much, we'll be able to do this.
(10:16):
Tom Brady did the same thing to the Patriots. Go
there's a long list of Patriots guys who never got
paid by the organization. They used up their talents young
and never got the money, and Tom Brady took less.
And then they did a story Rob G correct me
(10:38):
the Boston Globe. The Patriots are one of the teams
that didn't spend the extra money. They barely spent money
on free agents. All they ever talked about was Tom
Brady did all of this with no receivers, with no names,
guys who were working at dunkin Donuts. They didn't go
out and sign anybody big time. They got Randy Wallas
because he was dumped by the Raiders right up.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Because of the whole situation.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
There he was on the down side, he won a
star that they went out and got and got money
that he rehabilitated his career in New England. My point
is it's not your job to save the organization. You
don't have to do that. You're not a bad person
if you don't take less. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Well, I don't think you're no. You're listen.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Anybody wanting to get paid, especially when you deserve it.
You're talented, you're twenty two already to have been to
the Dagon Finals, the fifteen.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Two Daring, the postseason.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, I get it. So I'm with you on that.
Anybody who wants to take more money, I get it.
I'm not mad me or you would want to take
more money.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Here's the difference. Here's where I disagree or push back. Rob.
The challenge is you brought the owners. The owners don't
have a cat.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Unfortunately in the NBA not MLB, they have caps. So
that means, hey, Wenby, I wish I could pay you
one hundred and twenty a year. You're worth Lebron Steph.
These guys would have been worth Crazy Mouney every year.
But there's a cat, so I can only pay you
in this case three h two, but you wanted the
two fifty two because in order for me to sign
Castle and then Dylan Harper who's behind him, and all
(12:08):
of that, I'm gonna need money because we have a cap,
so I get your point. But the owners they can
there is no caps, so they can make as much
as they want.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
And here's the difference.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
The challenge with a guy like Winby and some other
players that you named, and other players in general, is
because they want to win, because their legacy is not
gonna be based on how much money they accumulated. They're
not gonna go man Withby's the goat why because he
got five fifty, five hundred and fifty million dollars in
his career. No, they're gonna say he's a goat because
he got four or five, six, seven rings whatever it is,
(12:39):
and he was able to win a bunch. And that's
the key part.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
So if you look at the women, but you don't
let me let me say, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
All I'm saying is if Weinby looks at this ass, well, okay,
if I can save some money here, and then he
saves some money here, maybe his castle up in a
year or two whatever, and we keep this thing together
for four or five years, we can win. And Wimby
is more niacal about winning. The boy was crying when
he lost to nineteen and under the Chin. The boy
(13:06):
cried when France lost to the United States in the
in the Olympics. The boy cried when he won the
Western Conference final. He cried when he that gone All
Star Game. He cares, he's defensive player of the Year.
He plays both sides of the ball. He wants to win.
It matters to him, and he wants to have an
insane legacy with a war trow, of a trust chest,
of a million different accolades and awards. And if he
(13:29):
knows if I give up ten million dollars a year
what it averages out to which after taxes comes down
about five, I think I'll be all right than five
million dollars a year. What you know, we ain't even
accumulated what he's making in France, because he's probably one
of the massive stars there instead of in Bapeup.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
So my point is, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'm not mad if he chose to make the money,
because we know he deserves it, but I get why
he and other players alike would not want to because
they're wanting to win. Because ultimately Kelvin and Rob are
going to look at them and on their show five
ten to fifteen years from now and go, well, he
only won one, he only won two. He can't be
the gold er, he can't be this, or he only
got this.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But he knows that your argument holds no water because
saving the organization money doesn't mean that you're going to win.
If you misspend it, or if you have a bad
general manager, or if you spend three all right, so
there's no guarantee even if he gives you a discount
that you're gonna win. You're automatically thinking they misspent money
(14:27):
when they gave the Aaron Fox a new deal. That's
the that's where the problem came in. So so you
can misspend the money or just like.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Grie Oh, I'll tell you the philosophers, Josh.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Like he is just like Patrick Mahomes when you kept
going they don't have any receivers. No, they had a
receiver and they were Tyreek Hill, and you know what
they said. They didn't want to pay him even though
Patrick Mahomes took up, took took a cut.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
There's one say so I'll take a I'll give you
some cuts.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Lebron James, d Wade, Chris Bosh all take cuts that
to get together fifteen million dollars, you know, good will
each of them was way more than that, and they
go to the finals fourth year straight years they win
a couple We've seen history.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
The other fifteen years that that Lebron James played.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I mean you're talking about that he had no choice.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Yes, I'm giving you an example.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Guys who got together who said I could have gone here,
got all the money.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
They got together. They won.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
It's because of their salaries. That's not why they won.
It was because they're good.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
No, it won they got to exactly the promise.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Literally the point, if Lebron James, the best player in
the league, wanted to be paid like the best player
in the league, he wouldn't have been able to get
with them. He wouldn't have had the talent you're talking about,
and he would couldn't win. That doesn't mean you can't.
Nobody said it could never win. I'm just point it
makes all the sense in the world.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I just want it.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I want to give myself as many to win.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So the Mets have the second highest payroll, the Dodgers
have the highest payroll.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Did you think the Dodgers have been good just the
last two.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Years when they won the World Series or was there
they're good and had a high pay road for the
last ten years or fifteen years, they didn't win. It's
not automatic because you're saving money or spending money that
you win as money.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
The baseball is the most non equivalent. We talk about
philadelp team seventy signals. They get signing people, they.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Haven't one jack trust the process.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Hear me out process, no lose.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Get these draft picks, develop them, and then they gonna
put together the super team and win.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
They never won.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
We never won the draft picks.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
With the conversation about money, Mike bringing up any of that,
you know, the baseball has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
None of that has anything to do with winning. A
con job. It's a cor job. It's a cod job.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Tim duncan job sticking together with his.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Team, got nothing to do with it. That had none.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Exactly the point, you know it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Prove that money has has anything to do with winning.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
That doesn't the proof of anything.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You know how to point. I just said, we have
proof of anything. The point is I'm trying to put
as many cogs in as possible to.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Have chosen win. You're gonna win as the New york Man,
to have the high payroll. Stop it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Literally nothing your life means you're gonna win.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Literally, So that's why I don't need to take it.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
But if I get him, take a better chance, if
I give myself a better.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Taron Fox, take a cut. How about that lets somebody else.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
I'm not saying what I'm saying, he made a mistake.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Stuimby absolutely is trying to win as many finals as
possible because he knows his legacy ain't gonna be based
on well he could have got an extra eighty million
throughout his total.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
About that he's stoking not win. He could take a
cut and never win. And then what would your conversation be.
You would your conversation be if he doesn't win and
he takes cuts, what would it be that.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
He gave it a try to keep his team together.
I made my point very clear.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
He is trying to keep No, he's not even it's dumb.
It's dumb.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
So he's not taking just the dumbest trying to pay cats.
He don't need to do that. Let's figure it out.
Let the general manager and the owner figure it out.
That's their job, that's not your job.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
And a cat least.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
I don't want to. It's the truth.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
As the Warriors, Cathleen, they're on the double aprin in
the kit the Warriors, aren't They in the double apron
and they pay the tax. You could have whatever team
you want if you're willing to pay the tax.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
You stop that.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
You can't literally can that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
You can you can pay to change it. What's the
new tax? Rob?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Do you don't the Warriors have to pay like I
have the time they paid, they did it for a
year and they made and what they want. And what
did Raymond just do? Just said I'm willing to take
a pay cut. I literally just said I'm nig to
take a pay cut to try to get Lebron.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
This is what guys do.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Rob to Victor, we make a mistake by taking a hometown.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Down Load Fox one and experience the FIFA World Cup Live.
I know we got a bunch of bunch of callers, Robs,
so let's get to this. The report is Wenby took
five years, two fifty two left fifty meal on the
table there, trying to save some money for his team.
Rob says, no way, no, how I say, I get it.
(20:49):
He's trying to win as much as possible. What's say you?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, so we got.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
How about Dave and Phoenix. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Dave?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
You guys are just like the traffic out here in
Phoenix right now, just bantering back and forth.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Often.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
I gotta say, you're both right.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
I'm listening to both of you.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
I think it depends on who it is, when it is,
what the timing is for all these players, and hopefully
they just make the right decision. But I think you're
both right.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Just for the record, you got both are making strong arguments.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I just see idea Dave of the if you could
have a bad general manager, bad owner, misspending the money,
give it to the wrong person, and you haven't accomplished anything.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That's that's not that's that's.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
My biggest I would honestly I believe it or not
because I actually agree with you. But I think in
specifically his case, in a well run organization that has
been running like a machine for twenty five thirty years now,
I think that's where you get confidence in it, you get.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Caught all that.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
What has happened to the last They didn't have a
marquee guy for the last eight years, haven't won anything,
haven't want anything.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
In a way, they slowly built this thing back up
to their right in the finals up every game a
double digits, and many think they should have won it.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
John, got it.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
John and Raleigh. You're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
John?
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Here's up?
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Guys.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
How are you doing up?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
John?
Speaker 10 (22:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Good so so I would say, Rob, you are making
some great points. But I have to agree with with Kelvin.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
We all grow up.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
We know from the if we're talking from the general manager,
from the team standpoint right, money doesn't buy happiness, money
doesn't buy wins, but poverty doesn't buy anything. What the
money does for the team having it, it buys you
the opportunity. Now, if the general manager they screw that up,
that's on them.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
But I think Wimby is.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Doing is he's trying to take. He's trying to take
a page out of probably the greatest winner of all
time in any sport, Tom Brady is No.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I disagree.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I disagree with that Tom tom Brady did more damage
to his brother Wren. You know what, he didn't take
a pay cut at Fox to do the TV.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Now there are you're talking.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
He didn't take peterdn't do a paycut to help everybody
in Fox.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I might not agree with the Womby, but I agree
with that part that he is.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
He said how much thirty seven and a half. I'll
take you that's more than he ever made playing football.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
But I'm just saying, listen, that's why eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox we do a squeeze in one morning.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Bro, I think we're gonna squeze a few wins.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Okay, Uh, let's go to Terrance at Oklahoma. You're in
the y odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Terrence?
Speaker 6 (23:27):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Tee?
Speaker 11 (23:28):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (23:28):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Fellers? I talked to y'all yesterday. Rob hung up on
me because I disagreed with him.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
On your side today, Rob it there's a players responsibility
to take less money. It's the organization's responsibility to spend
the money correctly. And I'm Lebron taking a paint cut
at his age, I could understand something like that, but Wimby,
being twenty three, I'm not taking.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
No pay cut. Both right, figuring this out. You need
to figure this out, because, like you said, there's no
guarantee that you're gonna spend the money where you need
to spend it. And not only that, but you're actually
hurting the rest of the players in the league because
now they're comparing my salary to other plays.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
You do a disservice to your own Brotherren when you
take what you're not worth, because now other owners could
throw that in your face.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Look at what Wemby did. Wemby took less money.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Wemby did this Castle Castle, better take Castle better take
less and Harper better take less. That's what he did.
He didn't help those guys get their money. He's the
one who just lowered their expectations. And now the owners
could use him as an example on what those other
guys should do.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
They all show should take less.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I'm gonna give you an example of where it worked.
Jalen Bronson took a hundred million dollars less. Jalen Bronson
is a toast of the town. Jalen Brownson is King
of New York. He did not as an NBA champ.
Jalen Bronson is not wrong.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Wrong, wrong, mister, facts are wrong. He took the most
that he could take at that time. He did not
take a cut that and now he's getting that money.
So it's not like he gave up money. He just
took the most that he could take at that current time.
He did not leave any money on the table. It's
a false narrative.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
It's not true.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Okay, all right, do you say so, Rob G.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Rob G gets a thumbs up. I'm telling you it's
a false narrative. He did not give up money so
that the Knicks could win a championship. Davis did the
same thing with the Lakers. Davis took the MAKA instead
of waiting a year the max he could take at
that point, rather than waiting a year to get more
Kelvin but ultimately leaving.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
It.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I get a hundred million more the next year.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
You still took the maxic he was available to get.
He didn't take less of the money that he was
available to him.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Okay, what do you want to do? Now we're gonna
go to Steve Saga. Okay, go ahead, all.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Right, Steve Saga. Now we may take another call to Yeah, yeah, Steve.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
We got time for Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the
odd couple Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Drake?
Speaker 6 (26:52):
How you doing?
Speaker 10 (26:53):
Thanks for taking the call. Listen.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I stand with victim Webbin Yama.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
In terms of the deal that that he took, in
terms of looking at the long view and making sure
that this team stayed together, the Fantastic four that includes
the Aaron Fox and they compete for championships consistently going forward. Rob,
I'm in agree with with you. You are a strong
union man an advocate for the players. But that's discussion
has to happen in collective bargaining to get rid of
(27:17):
this second apron, which is counterproductive for every everybody in
basketball and unnecessarily.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Good luck with that. That's what they are you kidding,
That's why.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Uh that deal that the players signed was like the
worst deal they they The NBA players also gave up
what used to be fully guaranteed contracts. Now there's partials up.
You remember the NBA having partial guarantees like like like
they want, they fell back, they went backwards, they went
back to it.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I was gonna say they had a good run for
a nice went back, you know, out on a decade
or so just and then mostly in their favor. But
they've definitely taken a step backwards. I don't know if
dre still they or not appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (27:53):
Carl Oh, yeah, they need to take They need to
go and have you know, firm backbone and strength as
Rob knows, like the like the Major League Baseball Players Association,
the Strong Player Association and Team Sports and fight for
those the rights and the privileges that they have. But
in terms of the current framework, I don't have a
problem with these players, I e. Jalen Brown now victim
(28:14):
Webbin Yama. This would have been the situation in Boston
now that our team is a dumpster fire, if you
would have allowed you holiday to look forward and say, yeah,
I'm gonna take a little bit less to keep the
team together and we're gonna compete for championships. I think
that winners would do.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
That now let the owner, let the owners and the
general manager figure that out.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
That's the the salary.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Captive number that they come up with is a fictitious,
made up number that they make up to determine what
what's But it's.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Not a real number.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
You can't tell me what the money they get from
Amazon and that that that this is all you can
spend on a team.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
First of all, a cap. NOVI Michael Jordan been getting
paid in.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Name Michael Jordan.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
At the time of this, Heyland, David Stern was making
four million and Michael was making three.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
No, that was just crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
That's why I said, I can't imagine what he would
have been making from ninety to like ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
What the heck would Jordan have been making if there
was no cap? All right?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Speaking of no cap, and I'm talking about what this
kid say, Uh to finally see the place that you've
been talking smack online? What would they lay hands on you?
Happening in NBA and Vegas. We'll tell you what we're
talking about. This THEYD couple Robin Kelvin on a funky

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
Daley Dicks against this Fred.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Wookie, Damn Douke, Thank you DC. It was like I
got hat on the head with a baseball last night. Wow,
that's what happened.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Three? How then I fell out of stairs.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Owing three last night, Bad Night one and hru I
was thirty games over last night, Bad Night.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Tonight. Braves are at the Cardinals in Saint Louis. I
got the Cardinals plus one and a half. That's my
best bet.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
I got the Padres plus one and a half to
hosting the Blue Jays in San Diego at the Dodgers
minus one and a half. With the Otani and his
gimping knee taking on the d Backs, Dodgers minus.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Had no concern for somebody who's injured. Padres, I thought
you were mister half.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
You're injured.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
I'm trust the player.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Cardinals plus one and a half now gonna come to
the All Star Game.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
You gotta be an mb bro.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That's the right. Maybe Aaron Judges heard, because you need.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
To know you want segregation.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
All right, it's time for your tire rec player today.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Can off the bench to score again? Held on, Spain
had to the semifinals.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
All right, spainhead to the semifinals. Of course, that was
on Fox. And that is your tire re Player of
the day and it's brought to you by Tireraq. For
over forty years, Tirec's been helping customers find the right
tires for where, for how, for what and they where
they drive ship and free back by free Road has
a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tyre installation,
(32:05):
tire rec dot Com. It is the way tire buying
should be u LEXI. We would get to you normally,
but we had some beef rogy in them Vegas streets.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Oh yeah, we did.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
The social media beef spilled over in a real life
because in case you didn't know, Tyler Hero has been
sneak dis in Badmadabaio ever since the Yannis trade was
even thought about what he was doing. He was sharing
things on Instagram that shows that bam and Giannis are
the two worst mid range shooters in the NBA, and
then earlier this week there was a leak DM message
(32:39):
on WhatsApp where he's talking about bam Adebayou getting sixty
million dollars the only place defense. Sometimes he don't have
no real pressure in his life. So apparently, according to
multiple outlets, bam Adebayo ran up on him today at
a practice court at the Vegas Summer League and they
knuckled up. According to reports, bad Matdebao hit him right
in the eye and Bama and Tyler here was walking
Aroun a little nugget on the side of his face.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
It's a tough scene now for the hero family.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Listen, Rob, I'm not saying you got to run around
punching people.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
But one thing we.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Grew up is the man of the cloth who's into violence.
Go ahead, I can't wait to hear this.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
One thing we learned growing up, Rob, it was when
you knew if you said certain things to somebody, you
knew Rob Parker knew. Kelvin Washington knew. Rob Garrett knew
that it was a certain time. If I say this,
I might get slapped in the face. I might get
punched in the lift. And that was a fact. You're
not saying it should have, but you knew if I
say this to somebody, there is a chance. And I
(33:34):
think with social media, people have gotten comfort, people have
taught smack, people have said things, he ain't got no
pressure in his life, he ain't got this, He ain't
worth that, especially somebody who was your teammate, you know,
you know, went to Warren battle with for the last well,
I don't know, five six, seven years or whatever it is,
and he went and saw and them twitter fingers got
him caught up. And I'm just saying, Rob, this is
a response of one of those things to me, just
(33:57):
a reminder again of what we grew up with you.
If you said, man blank you and your mama. I
knew there's a chance I might get slept and that
might not happen, but there's a chance. And I think
people have gotten comfortable doing and saying whatever on social media.
And this was a teammate who I would imagine at
some point they were cool and you know, had camaraderie
(34:17):
and fighting for each other.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I doubt they were cool if you got to that.
I mean, here's why I challenged that.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I think you are more visceral when it is because
I cared about you.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
If you were just somehow I disagree.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
What are you doing going out putting out stuff like
that to only make them look better. That's not a friend,
that's not somebody a conversation. You could if you really
want to have a conversation. But again, you know, like
I understand it because I know people too who would
rather send textas and pass along information and notes.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Rather than actually address me personal.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
But you know, they just, you know, they were just
trying to let you know what they heard. That's all right, O.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
But I already know. But I'm against violence in all cases.
I just but I just think that you just, like
like I teach my journalism students at USC, don't write
anything or say anything on TV or radio that you
would be afraid to face that person if you see him.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
I came that plaining. That's just fair plaining.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
That's just fair.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
And if you do that, you're gonna be okay.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Because I've been forty years people been mad at hell
at me, but ain't nobody ever hit me.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Okay, do you understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Because I might have said what I said, but I
didn't go across that line to be where somebody's gonna
jump on me or try to attack me.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
They might yell at me.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Them back was turned and twenty years I would have
been that's just with friends. You want to go look
at some of those columns.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I know.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I still don't know if you and time is ogidding
just because you got on his polo.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
If y'all get in the element.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Say his polo.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
Please, I don't think it's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
I'll never forget, you know what. I don't know how
this column made the paper in the nineties. I swear
the lead on the column was about Wayne Fonx was
the coach of the Lions back in the day. And
the lead was something and the owner was William clay Ford.
And I'm not kidding you. My lead was William clay Ford,
should pimp slap Wayne Fox?
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I went the lead.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
See Wayne Fonx could have could have pimp slapped you.
He could have slapped you.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
See no, no, no, I know, and I go back
to my original point, and if he saw you, he
could first count the table and then just said, before
we go any further, give me one second, please, y'all.
And the slash ship that's what I would have wear.
Wayne Washington would have that. But my point is the
Tyler hero. And then I don't know if you guys
(36:47):
saw the video that just came up, Like immediately after
they called him somebody I couldn't see who it was.
Somebody called him and I believe it was ESPN and
they said, hey, you know what's going on. He was
just like, oh man, look it's all love. You know,
I'd have seen some of ex players, my teammates. He
kind of smirked, and then he's like, you know, I've
seen Spoe and a couple of other assistant coaches that
saw good.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
They're happy with their moves. I'm happy. So he tried
to piece it up, but my old boys still stands. Rob.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I just think people have gotten comfortable saying I think,
just like yesterday we talked about you, you said how
you go crazy on a block party block because people
talk crazy and they just say wild stuff.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
And I think we've gotten to a place.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Where, ay that video was before the part that was
before Yeah, okay, that was before I misspoke. I apologize
on that, but I just feel like people have forgotten
what it's like to just have to say things face
to face, say it in my face like a man.
And I think he got reminded and like I say
(37:42):
them twitter fingers turned to five fingers and we know, Alex,
what did the five fingers say to the face?
Speaker 5 (37:49):
That's right?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
So this will be interesting to see, like does the
league jump in? Do they just say boys will be boys?
It's Vegas, Like, I'll be interested to see, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Like is this a thing? Is he suspended for game
one of the season or something?
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I don't know, but it's just interesting when you got
you have teammates who spent a lot of years together
getting that to that point. I mean, my gosh, and
Tyler here, I don't know if that's the guy I
want to pick with either. By the way, Bam six
eight six not chiseled and that ain't the guy necessarily
want that smoke with.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yeah, I just I think you gotta be careful and
whether it's social media, whatever, just make sure that whatever
you're saying you can face that person.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
That's it got to be comfortable.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
With it, and it's and it's that if you feel
like you've said what you had to say and you
were fair with it, and if they want to say
something to you, I'll let people say something to me,
just don't touch me.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, well we'll see how this all happens after that.
But I was shocked when I saw that come across
my time. I was like, wait, whoa they didne got
into it. Then you realize the same reports. You got
a puffy eye and everything. He being Tyler Errow, So yeah,
that that's wild. Hey that stay in Vegas. They have said,
what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That is, stay
in Vegas, Alex It's the odd couple. Fox Sports Radio

Jordan Polo, I know I put it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I ain't putting it. I ain't sticking a hole in
my Jordan Polo.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
No, we'd had to, man, We'd had to find a
way to put some tape on that or something, masking
tape or something.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Trust me, it was very difficult for me to pierce
the skin of this shirt.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, I had to. I had to figure out a
different way either way. It's kind of but yeah, man, here.

Just talking about subjects topics? Everybody all day? Everybody else
sports does except us for the most part. For the
most part, we do a little bit too. Is talk
about everybody else.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I don't believe it, not saying we don't do it.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
From time to time we do iMedia media people who
are not in the news.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I'm talking about not in the news, not beefing with somebody. Yeah,
I mean, I don't beef with people. There's no reason
to beef all right.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Hold on now, hold on, now, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I don't beef with anybody.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I'm just saying you said it real fast. I had
to think about it for Let me just.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I'll on you. But I'm I'm talking about but but you.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Were in they you do silent beefs that they're dead
to you and they just didn't know it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
They don't know until they can't get to It's all
good what.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
You're trying to say. Some people can't come through.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
And ABJ good luck. Don't approach me, all right? Hey,
Rob g news in the NBA.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Yeah, breaking news. Right before we got on air. We
kind of felt it coming and it hit in a
big way. According to ESPN Shaan Sharanya, Victor Wambanyama, Rob
Parker's favorite Frenchman at least temporarily got Everyone.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Knows the twim Ugh Ugh got himself a new extension
in San Antonio.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
It sounds good at first, you know he's gonna be
making five years two fifty two. The only problem is
he was eligible for five years three oh two.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
It'sok.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
A fifty million.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Dollar haircut to help out the front office there in
San Antonio, and mister Parker is not very happy about it.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Makes no sense. Wimby, Wemby, what are you doing? You've
been brainwashed too. It is unbelievable how these athletes have
been brainwashed by front office people owners. Has he looked
at the landscape of what's happened, how players have been
(08:24):
traded away because they don't want to get the owners
don't want to pay these guys don't want to get
these extensions. And you're taking fifty million less than you
have to for what reason? For what reason? Why do
you need to take less? Let them figure out what
they're doing. Wemby, you should be a guy who leads
(08:46):
the way. You're the next guy in the NBA. You're
the guy who people can look at and follow, and
you're a young guy with a long career. Don't do this.
You can't do this again. It's the a colossal mistake.
You should get what you're entitled to. Ask the GM
(09:08):
did he take a cut so that there's more money
for the other staffers? As the owner? Will he have
a cap on profits? How about an owner's profits cap? Kelvin,
If I said that owners can only make ten percent
profit on their investment, how many would sell the team
the next day? They wouldn't go for that right as
(09:29):
an owner? Why in the world are players dumb? And
I say that seriously, Like this whole idea of Patrick
Mahomes was bamboozl signed one of the worst contracts ever saw.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They touted five hundred million.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Rob g sixty three million was guaranteed when he signed
the contract.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Who did they get rid of?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
They got rid of everybody right like Tyreek Kill had
to go, Honey Badger had to go, Snead had to go,
and then don't forget Chris Jones had to sit out
to get his money. But they told Patrick, yo, if
you don't take as much, we'll be able to do this.
(10:16):
Tom Brady did the same thing to the Patriots. Go
there's a long list of Patriots guys who never got
paid by the organization. They used up their talents young
and never got the money, and Tom Brady took less.
And then they did a story Rob G correct me
(10:38):
the Boston Globe. The Patriots are one of the teams
that didn't spend the extra money. They barely spent money
on free agents. All they ever talked about was Tom
Brady did all of this with no receivers, with no names,
guys who were working at dunkin Donuts. They didn't go
out and sign anybody big time. They got Randy Wallas
because he was dumped by the Raiders right up.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Because of the whole situation.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
There he was on the down side, he won a
star that they went out and got and got money
that he rehabilitated his career in New England. My point
is it's not your job to save the organization. You
don't have to do that. You're not a bad person
if you don't take less. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Well, I don't think you're no. You're listen.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Anybody wanting to get paid, especially when you deserve it.
You're talented, you're twenty two already to have been to
the Dagon Finals, the fifteen.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Two Daring, the postseason.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, I get it. So I'm with you on that.
Anybody who wants to take more money, I get it.
I'm not mad me or you would want to take
more money.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Here's the difference. Here's where I disagree or push back. Rob.
The challenge is you brought the owners. The owners don't
have a cat.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Unfortunately in the NBA not MLB, they have caps. So
that means, hey, Wenby, I wish I could pay you
one hundred and twenty a year. You're worth Lebron Steph.
These guys would have been worth Crazy Mouney every year.
But there's a cat, so I can only pay you
in this case three h two, but you wanted the
two fifty two because in order for me to sign
Castle and then Dylan Harper who's behind him, and all
(12:08):
of that, I'm gonna need money because we have a cap,
so I get your point. But the owners they can
there is no caps, so they can make as much
as they want.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
And here's the difference.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
The challenge with a guy like Winby and some other
players that you named, and other players in general, is
because they want to win, because their legacy is not
gonna be based on how much money they accumulated. They're
not gonna go man Withby's the goat why because he
got five fifty, five hundred and fifty million dollars in
his career. No, they're gonna say he's a goat because
he got four or five, six, seven rings whatever it is,
(12:39):
and he was able to win a bunch. And that's
the key part.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
So if you look at the women, but you don't
let me let me say, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
All I'm saying is if Weinby looks at this ass, well, okay,
if I can save some money here, and then he
saves some money here, maybe his castle up in a
year or two whatever, and we keep this thing together
for four or five years, we can win. And Wimby
is more niacal about winning. The boy was crying when
he lost to nineteen and under the Chin. The boy
(13:06):
cried when France lost to the United States in the
in the Olympics. The boy cried when he won the
Western Conference final. He cried when he that gone All
Star Game. He cares, he's defensive player of the Year.
He plays both sides of the ball. He wants to win.
It matters to him, and he wants to have an
insane legacy with a war trow, of a trust chest,
of a million different accolades and awards. And if he
(13:29):
knows if I give up ten million dollars a year
what it averages out to which after taxes comes down
about five, I think I'll be all right than five
million dollars a year. What you know, we ain't even
accumulated what he's making in France, because he's probably one
of the massive stars there instead of in Bapeup.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
So my point is, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'm not mad if he chose to make the money,
because we know he deserves it, but I get why
he and other players alike would not want to because
they're wanting to win. Because ultimately Kelvin and Rob are
going to look at them and on their show five
ten to fifteen years from now and go, well, he
only won one, he only won two. He can't be
the gold er, he can't be this, or he only
got this.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But he knows that your argument holds no water because
saving the organization money doesn't mean that you're going to win.
If you misspend it, or if you have a bad
general manager, or if you spend three all right, so
there's no guarantee even if he gives you a discount
that you're gonna win. You're automatically thinking they misspent money
(14:27):
when they gave the Aaron Fox a new deal. That's
the that's where the problem came in. So so you
can misspend the money or just like.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Grie Oh, I'll tell you the philosophers, Josh.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Like he is just like Patrick Mahomes when you kept
going they don't have any receivers. No, they had a
receiver and they were Tyreek Hill, and you know what
they said. They didn't want to pay him even though
Patrick Mahomes took up, took took a cut.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
There's one say so I'll take a I'll give you
some cuts.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Lebron James, d Wade, Chris Bosh all take cuts that
to get together fifteen million dollars, you know, good will
each of them was way more than that, and they
go to the finals fourth year straight years they win
a couple We've seen history.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
The other fifteen years that that Lebron James played.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I mean you're talking about that he had no choice.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Yes, I'm giving you an example.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Guys who got together who said I could have gone here,
got all the money.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
They got together. They won.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
It's because of their salaries. That's not why they won.
It was because they're good.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
No, it won they got to exactly the promise.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Literally the point, if Lebron James, the best player in
the league, wanted to be paid like the best player
in the league, he wouldn't have been able to get
with them. He wouldn't have had the talent you're talking about,
and he would couldn't win. That doesn't mean you can't.
Nobody said it could never win. I'm just point it
makes all the sense in the world.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I just want it.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I want to give myself as many to win.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So the Mets have the second highest payroll, the Dodgers
have the highest payroll.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Did you think the Dodgers have been good just the
last two.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Years when they won the World Series or was there
they're good and had a high pay road for the
last ten years or fifteen years, they didn't win. It's
not automatic because you're saving money or spending money that
you win as money.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
The baseball is the most non equivalent. We talk about
philadelp team seventy signals. They get signing people, they.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Haven't one jack trust the process.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Hear me out process, no lose.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Get these draft picks, develop them, and then they gonna
put together the super team and win.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
They never won.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
We never won the draft picks.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
With the conversation about money, Mike bringing up any of that,
you know, the baseball has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
None of that has anything to do with winning. A
con job. It's a cor job. It's a cod job.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Tim duncan job sticking together with his.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Team, got nothing to do with it. That had none.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Exactly the point, you know it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Prove that money has has anything to do with winning.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
That doesn't the proof of anything.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You know how to point. I just said, we have
proof of anything. The point is I'm trying to put
as many cogs in as possible to.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Have chosen win. You're gonna win as the New york Man,
to have the high payroll. Stop it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Literally nothing your life means you're gonna win.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Literally, So that's why I don't need to take it.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
But if I get him, take a better chance, if
I give myself a better.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Taron Fox, take a cut. How about that lets somebody else.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
I'm not saying what I'm saying, he made a mistake.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Stuimby absolutely is trying to win as many finals as
possible because he knows his legacy ain't gonna be based
on well he could have got an extra eighty million
throughout his total.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
About that he's stoking not win. He could take a
cut and never win. And then what would your conversation be.
You would your conversation be if he doesn't win and
he takes cuts, what would it be that.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
He gave it a try to keep his team together.
I made my point very clear.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
He is trying to keep No, he's not even it's dumb.
It's dumb.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
So he's not taking just the dumbest trying to pay cats.
He don't need to do that. Let's figure it out.
Let the general manager and the owner figure it out.
That's their job, that's not your job.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
And a cat least.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
I don't want to. It's the truth.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
As the Warriors, Cathleen, they're on the double aprin in
the kit the Warriors, aren't They in the double apron
and they pay the tax. You could have whatever team
you want if you're willing to pay the tax.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
You stop that.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
You can't literally can that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
You can you can pay to change it. What's the
new tax? Rob?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Do you don't the Warriors have to pay like I
have the time they paid, they did it for a
year and they made and what they want. And what
did Raymond just do? Just said I'm willing to take
a pay cut. I literally just said I'm nig to
take a pay cut to try to get Lebron.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
This is what guys do.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Rob to Victor, we make a mistake by taking a hometown.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Game, right just because now you don't know his name.

Speaker 9 (20:59):
You guys are just like the traffic out here in
Phoenix right now, just bantering back and forth.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Often.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
I gotta say, you're both right.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
I'm listening to both of you.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
I think it depends on who it is, when it is,
what the timing is for all these players, and hopefully
they just make the right decision. But I think you're
both right.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Just for the record, you got both are making strong arguments.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I just see idea Dave of the if you could
have a bad general manager, bad owner, misspending the money,
give it to the wrong person, and you haven't accomplished anything.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That's that's not that's that's.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
My biggest I would honestly I believe it or not
because I actually agree with you. But I think in
specifically his case, in a well run organization that has
been running like a machine for twenty five thirty years now,
I think that's where you get confidence in it, you get.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Caught all that.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
What has happened to the last They didn't have a
marquee guy for the last eight years, haven't won anything,
haven't want anything.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
In a way, they slowly built this thing back up
to their right in the finals up every game a
double digits, and many think they should have won it.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
John, got it.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
John and Raleigh. You're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up?
Speaker 4 (22:07):

Speaker 5 (22:11):
John?
Speaker 10 (22:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Good so so I would say, Rob, you are making
some great points. But I have to agree with with Kelvin.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
We all grow up.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
We know from the if we're talking from the general manager,
from the team standpoint right, money doesn't buy happiness, money
doesn't buy wins, but poverty doesn't buy anything. What the
money does for the team having it, it buys you
the opportunity. Now, if the general manager they screw that up,
that's on them.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
But I think Wimby is.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Doing is he's trying to take. He's trying to take
a page out of probably the greatest winner of all
time in any sport, Tom Brady is No.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I disagree.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I disagree with that Tom tom Brady did more damage
to his brother Wren. You know what, he didn't take
a pay cut at Fox to do the TV.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Now there are you're talking.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
He didn't take peterdn't do a paycut to help everybody
in Fox.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I might not agree with the Womby, but I agree
with that part that he is.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
He said how much thirty seven and a half. I'll
take you that's more than he ever made playing football.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
But I'm just saying, listen, that's why eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox we do a squeeze in one morning.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Bro, I think we're gonna squeze a few wins.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Okay, Uh, let's go to Terrance at Oklahoma. You're in
the y odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Terrence?
Speaker 6 (23:27):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Tee?
Speaker 11 (23:28):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (23:28):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Fellers? I talked to y'all yesterday. Rob hung up on
me because I disagreed with him.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
On your side today, Rob it there's a players responsibility
to take less money. It's the organization's responsibility to spend
the money correctly. And I'm Lebron taking a paint cut
at his age, I could understand something like that, but Wimby,
being twenty three, I'm not taking.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
No pay cut. Both right, figuring this out. You need
to figure this out, because, like you said, there's no
guarantee that you're gonna spend the money where you need
to spend it. And not only that, but you're actually
hurting the rest of the players in the league because
now they're comparing my salary to other plays.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
You do a disservice to your own Brotherren when you
take what you're not worth, because now other owners could
throw that in your face.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Look at what Wemby did. Wemby took less money.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Wemby did this Castle Castle, better take Castle better take
less and Harper better take less. That's what he did.
He didn't help those guys get their money. He's the
one who just lowered their expectations. And now the owners
could use him as an example on what those other
guys should do.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
They all show should take less.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I'm gonna give you an example of where it worked.
Jalen Bronson took a hundred million dollars less. Jalen Bronson
is a toast of the town. Jalen Brownson is King
of New York. He did not as an NBA champ.
Jalen Bronson is not wrong.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Wrong, wrong, mister, facts are wrong. He took the most
that he could take at that time. He did not
take a cut that and now he's getting that money.
So it's not like he gave up money. He just
took the most that he could take at that current time.
He did not leave any money on the table. It's
a false narrative.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
It's not true.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Okay, all right, do you say so, Rob G.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Rob G gets a thumbs up. I'm telling you it's
a false narrative. He did not give up money so
that the Knicks could win a championship. Davis did the
same thing with the Lakers. Davis took the MAKA instead
of waiting a year the max he could take at
that point, rather than waiting a year to get more
Kelvin but ultimately leaving.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
It.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I get a hundred million more the next year.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
You still took the maxic he was available to get.
He didn't take less of the money that he was
available to him.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Okay, what do you want to do? Now we're gonna
go to Steve Saga. Okay, go ahead, all.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Right, Steve Saga. Now we may take another call to Yeah, yeah, Steve.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
We got time for Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the
odd couple Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Drake?
Speaker 6 (26:52):
How you doing?
Speaker 10 (26:53):
Thanks for taking the call. Listen.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I stand with victim Webbin Yama.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
In terms of the deal that that he took, in
terms of looking at the long view and making sure
that this team stayed together, the Fantastic four that includes
the Aaron Fox and they compete for championships consistently going forward. Rob,
I'm in agree with with you. You are a strong
union man an advocate for the players. But that's discussion
has to happen in collective bargaining to get rid of
(27:17):
this second apron, which is counterproductive for every everybody in
basketball and unnecessarily.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Good luck with that. That's what they are you kidding,
That's why.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Uh that deal that the players signed was like the
worst deal they they The NBA players also gave up
what used to be fully guaranteed contracts. Now there's partials up.
You remember the NBA having partial guarantees like like like
they want, they fell back, they went backwards, they went
back to it.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I was gonna say they had a good run for
a nice went back, you know, out on a decade
or so just and then mostly in their favor. But
they've definitely taken a step backwards. I don't know if
dre still they or not appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (27:53):
Carl Oh, yeah, they need to take They need to
go and have you know, firm backbone and strength as
Rob knows, like the like the Major League Baseball Players Association,
the Strong Player Association and Team Sports and fight for
those the rights and the privileges that they have. But
in terms of the current framework, I don't have a
problem with these players, I e. Jalen Brown now victim
(28:14):
Webbin Yama. This would have been the situation in Boston
now that our team is a dumpster fire, if you
would have allowed you holiday to look forward and say, yeah,
I'm gonna take a little bit less to keep the
team together and we're gonna compete for championships. I think
that winners would do.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
That now let the owner, let the owners and the
general manager figure that out.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
That's the the salary.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Captive number that they come up with is a fictitious,
made up number that they make up to determine what
what's But it's.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Not a real number.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
You can't tell me what the money they get from
Amazon and that that that this is all you can
spend on a team.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
First of all, a cap. NOVI Michael Jordan been getting
paid in.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Name Michael Jordan.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
At the time of this, Heyland, David Stern was making
four million and Michael was making three.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
No, that was just crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
That's why I said, I can't imagine what he would
have been making from ninety to like ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
What the heck would Jordan have been making if there
was no cap? All right?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Speaking of no cap, and I'm talking about what this
kid say, Uh to finally see the place that you've
been talking smack online? What would they lay hands on you?
Happening in NBA and Vegas. We'll tell you what we're
talking about. This THEYD couple Robin Kelvin on a funky

Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
Daley Dicks against this Fred.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Wookie, Damn Douke, Thank you DC. It was like I

that's what happened.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Three? How then I fell out of stairs.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Owing three last night, Bad Night one and hru I
was thirty games over last night, Bad Night.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Tonight. Braves are at the Cardinals in Saint Louis. I
got the Cardinals plus one and a half. That's my
best bet.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
I got the Padres plus one and a half to
hosting the Blue Jays in San Diego at the Dodgers
minus one and a half. With the Otani and his
gimping knee taking on the d Backs, Dodgers minus.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Had no concern for somebody who's injured. Padres, I thought

I'm trust the player.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Cardinals plus one and a half now gonna come to

Speaker 5 (31:16):
You gotta be an mb bro.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That's the right. Maybe Aaron Judges heard, because you need.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
To know you want segregation.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
All right, it's time for your tire rec player today.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Can off the bench to score again? Held on, Spain
had to the semifinals.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
All right, spainhead to the semifinals. Of course, that was
on Fox. And that is your tire re Player of
the day and it's brought to you by Tireraq. For
over forty years, Tirec's been helping customers find the right
tires for where, for how, for what and they where
they drive ship and free back by free Road has
a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tyre installation,
(32:05):
tire rec dot Com. It is the way tire buying
should be u LEXI. We would get to you normally,
but we had some beef rogy in them Vegas streets.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Oh yeah, we did.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
The social media beef spilled over in a real life
because in case you didn't know, Tyler Hero has been
sneak dis in Badmadabaio ever since the Yannis trade was
even thought about what he was doing. He was sharing
things on Instagram that shows that bam and Giannis are
the two worst mid range shooters in the NBA, and
then earlier this week there was a leak DM message
(32:39):
on WhatsApp where he's talking about bam Adebayou getting sixty
million dollars the only place defense. Sometimes he don't have
no real pressure in his life. So apparently, according to
multiple outlets, bam Adebayo ran up on him today at
a practice court at the Vegas Summer League and they
knuckled up. According to reports, bad Matdebao hit him right
in the eye and Bama and Tyler here was walking
Aroun a little nugget on the side of his face.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
It's a tough scene now for the hero family.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Listen, Rob, I'm not saying you got to run around
punching people.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
But one thing we.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Grew up is the man of the cloth who's into violence.
Go ahead, I can't wait to hear this.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
One thing we learned growing up, Rob, it was when
you knew if you said certain things to somebody, you
knew Rob Parker knew. Kelvin Washington knew. Rob Garrett knew
that it was a certain time. If I say this,
I might get slapped in the face. I might get
punched in the lift. And that was a fact. You're
not saying it should have, but you knew if I
say this to somebody, there is a chance. And I
(33:34):
think with social media, people have gotten comfort, people have
taught smack, people have said things, he ain't got no
pressure in his life, he ain't got this, He ain't
worth that, especially somebody who was your teammate, you know,
you know, went to Warren battle with for the last well,
I don't know, five six, seven years or whatever it is,
and he went and saw and them twitter fingers got
him caught up. And I'm just saying, Rob, this is
a response of one of those things to me, just
(33:57):
a reminder again of what we grew up with you.
If you said, man blank you and your mama. I
knew there's a chance I might get slept and that
might not happen, but there's a chance. And I think
people have gotten comfortable doing and saying whatever on social media.
And this was a teammate who I would imagine at
some point they were cool and you know, had camaraderie
(34:17):
and fighting for each other.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I doubt they were cool if you got to that.
I mean, here's why I challenged that.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I think you are more visceral when it is because
I cared about you.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
If you were just somehow I disagree.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
What are you doing going out putting out stuff like
that to only make them look better. That's not a friend,
that's not somebody a conversation. You could if you really
want to have a conversation. But again, you know, like
I understand it because I know people too who would
rather send textas and pass along information and notes.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Rather than actually address me personal.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
But you know, they just, you know, they were just
trying to let you know what they heard. That's all right, O.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
But I already know. But I'm against violence in all cases.
I just but I just think that you just, like
like I teach my journalism students at USC, don't write
anything or say anything on TV or radio that you
would be afraid to face that person if you see him.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
I came that plaining. That's just fair plaining.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
That's just fair.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
And if you do that, you're gonna be okay.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Because I've been forty years people been mad at hell
at me, but ain't nobody ever hit me.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Okay, do you understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Because I might have said what I said, but I
didn't go across that line to be where somebody's gonna
jump on me or try to attack me.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
They might yell at me.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Them back was turned and twenty years I would have
been that's just with friends. You want to go look
at some of those columns.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I know.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I still don't know if you and time is ogidding
just because you got on his polo.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
If y'all get in the element.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Say his polo.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
Please, I don't think it's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
I'll never forget, you know what. I don't know how
this column made the paper in the nineties. I swear
the lead on the column was about Wayne Fonx was
the coach of the Lions back in the day. And
the lead was something and the owner was William clay Ford.
And I'm not kidding you. My lead was William clay Ford,
should pimp slap Wayne Fox?
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I went the lead.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
See Wayne Fonx could have could have pimp slapped you.
He could have slapped you.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
See no, no, no, I know, and I go back
to my original point, and if he saw you, he
could first count the table and then just said, before
we go any further, give me one second, please, y'all.
And the slash ship that's what I would have wear.
Wayne Washington would have that. But my point is the
Tyler hero. And then I don't know if you guys
(36:47):
saw the video that just came up, Like immediately after
they called him somebody I couldn't see who it was.
Somebody called him and I believe it was ESPN and
they said, hey, you know what's going on. He was
just like, oh man, look it's all love. You know,
I'd have seen some of ex players, my teammates. He
kind of smirked, and then he's like, you know, I've
seen Spoe and a couple of other assistant coaches that
saw good.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
They're happy with their moves. I'm happy. So he tried
to piece it up, but my old boys still stands. Rob.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I just think people have gotten comfortable saying I think,
just like yesterday we talked about you, you said how
you go crazy on a block party block because people
talk crazy and they just say wild stuff.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
And I think we've gotten to a place.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Where, ay that video was before the part that was
before Yeah, okay, that was before I misspoke. I apologize
on that, but I just feel like people have forgotten
what it's like to just have to say things face
to face, say it in my face like a man.
And I think he got reminded and like I say
(37:42):
them twitter fingers turned to five fingers and we know, Alex,
what did the five fingers say to the face?
Speaker 5 (37:49):
That's right?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
So this will be interesting to see, like does the
league jump in? Do they just say boys will be boys?
It's Vegas, Like, I'll be interested to see, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Like is this a thing? Is he suspended for game
one of the season or something?
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I don't know, but it's just interesting when you got
you have teammates who spent a lot of years together
getting that to that point. I mean, my gosh, and
Tyler here, I don't know if that's the guy I
want to pick with either. By the way, Bam six
eight six not chiseled and that ain't the guy necessarily
want that smoke with.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yeah, I just I think you gotta be careful and
whether it's social media, whatever, just make sure that whatever
you're saying you can face that person.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
That's it got to be comfortable.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
With it, and it's and it's that if you feel
like you've said what you had to say and you
were fair with it, and if they want to say
something to you, I'll let people say something to me,
just don't touch me.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, well we'll see how this all happens after that.
But I was shocked when I saw that come across
my time. I was like, wait, whoa they didne got
into it. Then you realize the same reports. You got
a puffy eye and everything. He being Tyler Errow, So yeah,
that that's wild. Hey that stay in Vegas. They have said,
what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That is, stay
in Vegas, Alex It's the odd couple. Fox Sports Radio
