Speaker 1 (02:52):
Just trying to I'm very forward looking forward today.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, very nice. Should be fun.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Well, so we know we talked to the bit about
Lebron earlier and how the mass said they'd only be
interested in him if he would get a buy out
from the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So on and so forth with us.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
The more conversations we talk about Lakers star and then
Cooper Flag. Avery Johnson, former coach for the Really Good
Coach Too for the Dallas Mavericks, was on CBS Sports
and he had a conversation about Cooper Flagg and this
is what he said, quote, Man, give me Cooper Flag.
This is over Luca Doncons. He said he would take
him in a heartbeat. Give me Cooper Flag. Cooper Flag
(03:31):
on this team? What Yeah, give me Cooper flag Man,
what team is the Mavericks?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
What team is he coaching? Now? I'm just asking you.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
He might be his son's team or something like that
of your little pee wee league or something rec league
or something.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I just wanted to make sure.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, he said he'd take Cooper Flag easily in a
heartbeat over Luca doncons A Luca Doncics and that they said,
you have to talk about the team they have. If healthy,
you got the Hall of Famers and Kyrie Klay Thompson
a d It's gonna be really exciting the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
There future is bright.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
So do you agree with my man who used to
call David robertson the ad morale?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Do you agree with him? No? And I think this
is a combination of two things. I think we're gonna
agree on, at least the.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Cooper Flag hype, which is ridiculous. Okay, okay, can we stop.
He's eighteen, he played one college season. He wasn't the
greatest college player who ever played. Yeah, Like what, like seriously,
they're making it like he's better than those two. We
just Bill Russell. We can go on and on and on.
(04:35):
Pistol Pete Maverage averaged forty four points with no threes, Like, can.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We stop, seriously the Cooper flag stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Everything that happened yesterday is not the greatest thing that
ever happened.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Guys, stop it. Cut it out. And number two, I
get it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
People wanted to poke Luca in the stomach and have
him do the Billsbury dope Boycot exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You know what I'm saying, Like, that's what he wanted
to do. But you can't.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You can't discount it was all NBA five of his
first six years. It's like, seriously, really, the guys twenty
five years old, really, you think he's Cooper Flag is
gonna you know how hard it is to be all NBA.
You think he's gonna be all NBA the next twenty years?
(05:28):
Come on, man, Really, that's what was so shocking about Luca.
But but this, obviously, I mean, Avery's just gone off
the deep end because you can you can tout Cooper
Flag without going overboard and without having to disrespect other people.
And to me, that's in Luca's case because what he
(05:50):
was able to accomplish so early in his career was amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Everybody knows that dude you all right.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
First of all, Avery Johnson, listen, this is the issue
and this is one of the time as we talk
about this when team, when guys still want to be
connected with the team. Everie Johnson still wants to be
able to come to the Mavericks game, get the floor
scenes free gets the box, get the free tickets, get
the hoodie, you know, get to en be invited to
the golf outings, and have his family come to the
(06:16):
family day. Because there's no way that you're saying, I'm
taking Cooper Flag, who's done nothing in the NBA yet,
who looks like a fine player, who we expect good
things from, but you know, also we expect him to
grow into being really good.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Luca came right off.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
The bat, great all NBA multiple times, drag the team
to the five times, drag the team to the finals,
and is Luca perfect? No, do we want him to
get in better shape up? Yes, we wanted to maybe
stop pounding the ball a little bit. Yes, but he's
already done his story. He actually could retire next year
and be in the Hall of Fame. You're saying Cooper
Flag is going to do that immediately sounds crazy and
(06:55):
it sounds like what we get back to conversations when
people do this Magic Johnson talking about D'Angelo Russell and
Linzo Ball gonna take my records down, and there's gonna
be up in their banners, and I get fanfare and
being excited, but come on, Magic, come on, Avery Cooper
Flag is gonna be nice. I have high expectations for him.
But what Luca was able to do in this league immediately,
(07:15):
immediately was really unprecedented for a guy again who was
team wasn't crazy loaded. I mean he didn't walk in
like Magic walk right into Kareem and some other players there,
Jamal Wilkes and some.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Other good players. So you kind of like walked into
a great situation. But he was great.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Oh but Magic, come on, as Magic is magic and
Bird you know my theory, they're starting to get pushed
down these rankings a little too far. Now, hold on, now,
these two dudes were insane and y'all need to go refresh,
hit the refresh button and refresh your memory and what
Magic and Bird were able to do. But yeah, so
just to say that you would take it again, he's
doing the Homer thing.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He's connected to the team.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
The organization had a lot of success there as a coach,
completely get it, but the expectations because there's really not
many guys period in the NBA. Do you know how
many guys haven't been all the NBA more than twice,
two or three times that week? Harold has great all
time greats Martin? Why are you over shaking your head?
Alex can get Martin for me, please.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Because just counterpoint.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Sure, maybe it's true that every johnson Is wants to
get the tickets and.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Where and wave the rally flag and all of that, But.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
The Mavericks to say they would rather have Luka Doncices
than rather have Cooper Flagg than Luka Doncics. They already
said they'd rather have Anthony Davis than Luka don But
that's the right decision.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But they already made that.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Do you see what I'm saying That they didn't know
they were getting Cooper flag when they made that decision,
and they were so like if you ask them, if
you ask them, they said.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'd rather have Anthony Davis than Luca.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The list might be long of the people they'd rather
have than Luca Donets.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
That's and let me die. That's not only is that
as your thought.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
That is in fact, as far as what happened and
what also happened has been my issue. You traded him
for a dude who's older. If he were this were
Anthony Edwards, I would okay, I get it. Maybe you
just felt like he has a higher ceiling or something
or sga okay round the same age.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
You traded him when someone's older, who's often injured, and
guess who he did Game one like you couldn't Shakespeare
couldn't write this.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I agree that it was a bad trade. I'm not
arguing that fact by any stress. Right, it was so bad.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's not a bad trade. If you don't want to
pay a guy who you don't believe, I think that's
a three hundred and fifty zillion and he won't work
out with you. He was overwet, like the stuff that
would scare you. We talked about it before the Marcus
cousin didn't get his two oh six in Seattle. He
wouldn't fall in line or be a team guy, you
know what I mean, And you're afraid to give the
(09:50):
guy the machinations. It was so bad that people ignored
all of what Rob just said. Because it happened in
the middle of the night, and it happened for what
seemed to be such a small on reason. It can't
be and I said it was never about his plug
about basketball. It can't be because of the five all pros. Right,
we're in the finals with this guy. They can't be basketball.
(10:10):
We know that, and that's why I go back to Martin.
So the team does the ad move. Luca moves so
they and for the clearly non basketball reasons, or at
least none on the court, because obviously maybe for them
it's he's not doing what we asked for him when
it comes to being in basketball shape.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
But going back to the Cooper Flag again, Polo van Carroll,
we don't know if Cooper Flag is gonna better than
him and Polo who was really nice but hasn't done
anything yet. You get what I'm saying, Like he might
have another couple of years. There have been plenty of
guys who really good rookies that takes time and they
haven't done anything yet. We're just now seeing Carling D Towns,
who was a number one pick, get deep into the
(10:47):
playoffs and make a little noise. And even then we're
still we were a little bit underwhelmed. Let's not even
talk about some of the other number one picks. Ben Simmons,
who was All World. Have you seen him lately? I
don't even know if he's in the NBA Markel Foltz.
So my only point is where Avery is going crazy
is saying, oh, man, give me Cooper Flag all day
when he might just be a What if he's just
(11:08):
a really good player who ends up being a five
time All Star?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That ain't lucas what I'm saying. And you've just brought
up this.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's a different sport, but it tells you about the
All Pro and All NBA.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Tom Brady played twenty se whatever plus is. Yeah, how
many times was he All Quarterback? All Pro Quarterback? We'll
go five or six? Three that's how hard it is.
And Luca did it five other first six Do you
know what I'm saying? Like Tom Brady three.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Times crazy and over twenty years and it ain't that easy.
So the idea that you think Cooper Flag's gonna show
up and make all NBA do.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It twice in his whole career, right.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I'm just saying, right, like, what Luca accomplished is incredible.
For a short period of time. The guy's twenty five
with a thirty five year old body.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's the issue.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
This is the one time I want to argue with you,
but I ain't gonna lie. When I see Luca walk
sometimes the only thing that gives me hope is you
know I'm shut up in advance. I'm watching Last Dance
again for the fifty fifth times.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
You shut up. Okay, I need to.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Call your wife and she needs to set up a
VCR with something that or.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Wait, wait, I got problems. You just said VC you,
I mean you, you with you? Somebody go backwards in time.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You passed Blu Ray everything past you should get you
went back to VC. I want you to get a VCR.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And why that's why when your phone rings, it literally
odd couple, It ain't me and you, it's the actual
show because I know you going home watching it. You know,
Matt locking on it on v VHS, VCRs and all that.
Perry Mason from there, Perry but one of them lawyers, no.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Doubt all right.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
H eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven six.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Sixty three sixty nine is the phone number.
Speaker 1 (12:53):

Speaker 2 (12:58):
We'll continue this conversation next with you.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
For over forty years, Sire wreck has been open.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Customers find the right tires for hot what where they
drive ship fast and free back by. Free Road has
a protection and they have convenient insallation options like mobile
tire installation, tirereg dot Comedy is the way tire buying
should be. Cooper Flag look, I expect him to be
a good player, have a very nice career. But the
idea that you just take him over Luca right now
(14:23):
is crazy. But Abe Johnson has said that has a
Cooper Flag train already go off the rails, or maybe
you fill him. Maybe you would take Cooper over Luca
eight seven to seven to ninety nine on Fox, Robin
not taking a few calls, So.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
We got Drew in New Jersey. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Drew?
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Hey, guys, I think that I would for this team.
I think Cooper Fogg is a good fit, but I
wouldn't take him over all individual as a town. But
I got a one quick question because I know Rob
you were out last week. I think it was Olden
Polynese was on and this similar topic came up, and
I asked him because he played again Len Biased in college,
(15:02):
who was a better player Michael Jordan's. I'd even ask him,
I think I said they were neck and neck, and
he said Lenn Bias was a better player. Michael Jordan's
as a talent, What are your thoughts negative?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I mean, len Bias was going to be the next
d and all that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
But I just can't uh.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Really look at that and look because Michael Jordan was
bad in college, you know what I mean. It wasn't
like he was exactly uh and len Bias was another one.
But I still would pick Michael. Len Bias was a
talent though Drew. I'm not sitting here acting like he
was nothing or you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Len Bias was scary rob because he had a jump shot.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I mean, how we feel about Lebron ripped up and Hughes.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I look at Buffy's but I don't know if this
but and I hear you, but there was something about
Michael that was that was even.
Speaker 10 (15:56):
He was made.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
God made Michael Jordan to be the best basketball BA. Okay, yes,
I will concede that and Jordan Lenn Bias.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You would take len Bias over Michael Jordan.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Know I'm saying, well, how we feel about Lebron and
a lot of stuff. And now he's not a savant
passer like Lebron, but just you're not in the eighties.
Nobody was walking around twenty years old ripped like that.
Nobody's jumping through the gym. That rip had a mid
range game, that athletic, that much joy. He was crazy
for those of you aluys hear the name, but never
go go look at him his game. And so that's
(16:27):
why you had the conversations people like man Jordan lin Bias.
He was younger than Michael, so the only times they
really played, I think he was a sophomore at his max.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But I think it's easy.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I think it's easy to say because he passed and
he didn't get in the league and play, so you
could just say, oh, yeah, he would have been better
than Michael jord I just because of what Michael accomplished.
Like we're just talking about with Luca, hard for me
to look at Cooper Flag and say he's going to
be All NBA five six years his first six years
in a row, and Luca did it five out of six.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That Goo's fundamentals is what we never talk about. We
talked about this flying through the air and that he
was so fundamentally sound. It was it's offensively specifically, it
was insane. Kevin say, footwork crazy, all the head fakes everything.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What's up keV? Kevin in Culver City, you're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Cav God, it's
good all the time.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
That before the July for the y'all, I gotta just
tell you I had. There was a guy named Blake
Griffin who came out of Oklahoma two thousand and nine.
There were four Hall of famers drafted after him, Drew Holiday,
Demarta Rosen, Stephan Curry, and the other guy show in
my mind, James Harden.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
James, I think Drew. Do you think Drew hall of Famer?
Speaker 6 (17:43):
He's Hall of Famer, He's a two time champion.
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Absolutely, But you look at Blake Griffin, I don't think.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
He's in Hall of Famer with those other guys. Now,
Cooper Flagg, for some coach who took a team in
the NBA finals to have the nerve to say he
would take Cooper Flagg without playing one NBA who might
be the next Christian Laterner over Luca the Don Doccas,
who was a walking Hall of Famer nearly thirty fours
a game and took a see of the finals. It's
(18:09):
just acidite. It makes no NBA stense whatsoever. Luca Docas
might be the baddest player in the league. He's wrapped
it with Shy and you're gonna say, You're gonna say
Cooper flag over Luca dockets.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
The box sings hit man, the boxings hit. They hit different,
the sweets hit different.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Kevin, I'm with you. I just think it's just really like,
it's not like and he brought it up. You just
mentioned Christian Layner.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
He did, he did.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
He Christian Layner was one of the great all time
great college hart.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He might be on my rush more. I think he is, Kevin.
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
He went to the All Star Game one time, his
solid career. Come on, But yeah, I do think Cooper
will be a little bitter than that.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Thanks a lot, keV. But I got the July, Yes,
the idea he'll just be better than like. I'll take him.
And it wasn't. This is what I need it from Avery.
I needed aver Ray to go. That's ah, that's a
tough one.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I needed at least that for him to say hands down,
and he said that, he said, hands down easily. I'm
taking them. He said, Cooper Flag easily, any day, Cooper Flag.
And I'm like, all right, hold on, settle down, because
Cooper Flag had a very good uh college one year.
But to your point, Carmelo had an amazing freshman, Sevin
(19:26):
Durant had an amazing freshman, Chris Webber had in fair
like there are people who like, let's not act like it.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Was the most given thing I've ever seen. He's saying, like,
like nobody else had li like a.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Alan Iverson was going crazy at Georgetown.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
All I know is after Avery said that I threw
up a red flag, I just want you to know. Sorry,
I gotta deal with that for the next ten fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh yeah, it won't be that long. Oh yeah, right,
you'll be here.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
You weren't when you weren't here. Rob g asked me that,
he said, who's going to retire first?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Me or you? And we all say me, You're gonna
retire before you.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Okay, you're not talking about like where they retire for you.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
No, No, like you.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I'm talking about I'm out the game. I'm done you're
gonna be You're gonna find somebod because somebody will keep
giving you checks.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Man, you like checks, I do like check But I'm
how you gonna pay for your Gucci?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I'm good. And you said you're not buying Pooci. I'm
not buying Poochie. He's always got to be Gucci.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
What's up? Moses? Why my people go ahead?
Speaker 16 (38:10):
I'm so honored to be the last call. Yes, listen,
I'm I want to start off by saying I am
a huge Spurs fan. I've been a Spurs fan since
David Robinson got drafted and I watched Avery Johnson's career,
all that good stuff, and I could not disagree more
with this take. Rob You had a lot of good
points about Cooper Flag and coming into the league, and
(38:33):
there's no in hell I would take Cooper Flag over
Luca Doncis. Luca doncs came into the league as a pro,
playing against grown men and was ready for the NBA.
I am not taking Cooper Flag over Luca Doncis. Five
times First Team All NBA. That just says it all, right, there.
Speaker 12 (38:56):
Now go, Can Cooper.
Speaker 16 (38:57):
Flag even live up to that? I'm just saying, no,
I love your show and I appreciate y'all, thanks for
taking my call and I love being the last all.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Thank you. We appreciate that at Nashville, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
I mean, that's the funny part is if if Cooper
Flag in his entire career will accumulate the same accolades
that Luca has already done in five six years, Like,
Cooper Flag might have a really really good career.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
He might be three Tom All NBA five Time All Stars.
I just gave you to Brady only three. Yeah, and
that would be a really nice career. We've play times
and he played twenty some year. Dude, to just ask
him to do that, that's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Like I said, Avery, Avery's trying to get so make
sure them tickets on lot so he can go see
Cooper Flag and go see a d and Kyrie when
he's healthy and all that.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
That's what that is right there.
Speaker 13 (39:49):
Man.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
I guess you're gonna Luca's got a lot to prove
though this season, which is crazy to say, but he
does have to.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
When you get dumped, there is a proving ground.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah, I mean, and then you get knocked out of

Cooper Flag hype, which is ridiculous. Okay, okay, can we stop.
He's eighteen, he played one college season. He wasn't the
greatest college player who ever played. Yeah, Like what, like seriously,
they're making it like he's better than those two. We
just Bill Russell. We can go on and on and on.
(04:35):
Pistol Pete Maverage averaged forty four points with no threes, Like, can.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We stop, seriously the Cooper flag stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Everything that happened yesterday is not the greatest thing that
ever happened.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Guys, stop it. Cut it out. And number two, I
get it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
People wanted to poke Luca in the stomach and have
him do the Billsbury dope Boycot exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You know what I'm saying, Like, that's what he wanted
to do. But you can't.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You can't discount it was all NBA five of his
first six years. It's like, seriously, really, the guys twenty
five years old, really, you think he's Cooper Flag is
gonna you know how hard it is to be all NBA.
You think he's gonna be all NBA the next twenty years?
(05:28):
Come on, man, Really, that's what was so shocking about Luca.
But but this, obviously, I mean, Avery's just gone off
the deep end because you can you can tout Cooper
Flag without going overboard and without having to disrespect other people.
And to me, that's in Luca's case because what he
(05:50):
was able to accomplish so early in his career was amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Everybody knows that dude you all right.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
First of all, Avery Johnson, listen, this is the issue
and this is one of the time as we talk
about this when team, when guys still want to be
connected with the team. Everie Johnson still wants to be
able to come to the Mavericks game, get the floor
scenes free gets the box, get the free tickets, get
the hoodie, you know, get to en be invited to
the golf outings, and have his family come to the
(06:16):
family day. Because there's no way that you're saying, I'm
taking Cooper Flag, who's done nothing in the NBA yet,
who looks like a fine player, who we expect good
things from, but you know, also we expect him to
grow into being really good.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Luca came right off.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
The bat, great all NBA multiple times, drag the team
to the five times, drag the team to the finals,
and is Luca perfect? No, do we want him to
get in better shape up? Yes, we wanted to maybe
stop pounding the ball a little bit. Yes, but he's
already done his story. He actually could retire next year
and be in the Hall of Fame. You're saying Cooper
Flag is going to do that immediately sounds crazy and
(06:55):
it sounds like what we get back to conversations when
people do this Magic Johnson talking about D'Angelo Russell and
Linzo Ball gonna take my records down, and there's gonna
be up in their banners, and I get fanfare and
being excited, but come on, Magic, come on, Avery Cooper
Flag is gonna be nice. I have high expectations for him.
But what Luca was able to do in this league immediately,
(07:15):
immediately was really unprecedented for a guy again who was
team wasn't crazy loaded. I mean he didn't walk in
like Magic walk right into Kareem and some other players there,
Jamal Wilkes and some.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Other good players. So you kind of like walked into
a great situation. But he was great.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Oh but Magic, come on, as Magic is magic and
Bird you know my theory, they're starting to get pushed
down these rankings a little too far. Now, hold on, now,
these two dudes were insane and y'all need to go refresh,
hit the refresh button and refresh your memory and what
Magic and Bird were able to do. But yeah, so
just to say that you would take it again, he's
doing the Homer thing.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He's connected to the team.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
The organization had a lot of success there as a coach,
completely get it, but the expectations because there's really not
many guys period in the NBA. Do you know how
many guys haven't been all the NBA more than twice,
two or three times that week? Harold has great all
time greats Martin? Why are you over shaking your head?
Alex can get Martin for me, please.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Because just counterpoint.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Sure, maybe it's true that every johnson Is wants to
get the tickets and.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Where and wave the rally flag and all of that, But.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
The Mavericks to say they would rather have Luka Doncices
than rather have Cooper Flagg than Luka Doncics. They already
said they'd rather have Anthony Davis than Luka don But
that's the right decision.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But they already made that.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Do you see what I'm saying That they didn't know
they were getting Cooper flag when they made that decision,
and they were so like if you ask them, if
you ask them, they said.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'd rather have Anthony Davis than Luca.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The list might be long of the people they'd rather
have than Luca Donets.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
That's and let me die. That's not only is that
as your thought.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
That is in fact, as far as what happened and
what also happened has been my issue. You traded him
for a dude who's older. If he were this were
Anthony Edwards, I would okay, I get it. Maybe you
just felt like he has a higher ceiling or something
or sga okay round the same age.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
You traded him when someone's older, who's often injured, and
guess who he did Game one like you couldn't Shakespeare
couldn't write this.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I agree that it was a bad trade. I'm not
arguing that fact by any stress. Right, it was so bad.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's not a bad trade. If you don't want to
pay a guy who you don't believe, I think that's
a three hundred and fifty zillion and he won't work
out with you. He was overwet, like the stuff that
would scare you. We talked about it before the Marcus
cousin didn't get his two oh six in Seattle. He
wouldn't fall in line or be a team guy, you
know what I mean, And you're afraid to give the
(09:50):
guy the machinations. It was so bad that people ignored
all of what Rob just said. Because it happened in
the middle of the night, and it happened for what
seemed to be such a small on reason. It can't
be and I said it was never about his plug
about basketball. It can't be because of the five all pros. Right,
we're in the finals with this guy. They can't be basketball.
(10:10):
We know that, and that's why I go back to Martin.
So the team does the ad move. Luca moves so
they and for the clearly non basketball reasons, or at
least none on the court, because obviously maybe for them
it's he's not doing what we asked for him when
it comes to being in basketball shape.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
But going back to the Cooper Flag again, Polo van Carroll,
we don't know if Cooper Flag is gonna better than
him and Polo who was really nice but hasn't done
anything yet. You get what I'm saying, Like he might
have another couple of years. There have been plenty of
guys who really good rookies that takes time and they
haven't done anything yet. We're just now seeing Carling D Towns,
who was a number one pick, get deep into the
(10:47):
playoffs and make a little noise. And even then we're
still we were a little bit underwhelmed. Let's not even
talk about some of the other number one picks. Ben Simmons,
who was All World. Have you seen him lately? I
don't even know if he's in the NBA Markel Foltz.
So my only point is where Avery is going crazy
is saying, oh, man, give me Cooper Flag all day
when he might just be a What if he's just
(11:08):
a really good player who ends up being a five
time All Star?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That ain't lucas what I'm saying. And you've just brought
up this.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's a different sport, but it tells you about the
All Pro and All NBA.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Tom Brady played twenty se whatever plus is. Yeah, how
many times was he All Quarterback? All Pro Quarterback? We'll
go five or six? Three that's how hard it is.
And Luca did it five other first six Do you
know what I'm saying? Like Tom Brady three.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Times crazy and over twenty years and it ain't that easy.
So the idea that you think Cooper Flag's gonna show
up and make all NBA do.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It twice in his whole career, right.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I'm just saying, right, like, what Luca accomplished is incredible.
For a short period of time. The guy's twenty five
with a thirty five year old body.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's the issue.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
This is the one time I want to argue with you,
but I ain't gonna lie. When I see Luca walk
sometimes the only thing that gives me hope is you
know I'm shut up in advance. I'm watching Last Dance
again for the fifty fifth times.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
You shut up. Okay, I need to.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Call your wife and she needs to set up a
VCR with something that or.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Wait, wait, I got problems. You just said VC you,
I mean you, you with you? Somebody go backwards in time.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You passed Blu Ray everything past you should get you
went back to VC. I want you to get a VCR.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And why that's why when your phone rings, it literally
odd couple, It ain't me and you, it's the actual
show because I know you going home watching it. You know,
Matt locking on it on v VHS, VCRs and all that.
Perry Mason from there, Perry but one of them lawyers, no.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Doubt all right.

We'll continue this conversation next with you.

For over forty years, Sire wreck has been open.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Customers find the right tires for hot what where they
drive ship fast and free back by. Free Road has
a protection and they have convenient insallation options like mobile
tire installation, tirereg dot Comedy is the way tire buying
should be. Cooper Flag look, I expect him to be
a good player, have a very nice career. But the
idea that you just take him over Luca right now
(14:23):
is crazy. But Abe Johnson has said that has a
Cooper Flag train already go off the rails, or maybe
you fill him. Maybe you would take Cooper over Luca
eight seven to seven to ninety nine on Fox, Robin
not taking a few calls, So.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
We got Drew in New Jersey. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Drew?
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Hey, guys, I think that I would for this team.
I think Cooper Fogg is a good fit, but I
wouldn't take him over all individual as a town. But
I got a one quick question because I know Rob
you were out last week. I think it was Olden
Polynese was on and this similar topic came up, and
I asked him because he played again Len Biased in college,
(15:02):
who was a better player Michael Jordan's. I'd even ask him,
I think I said they were neck and neck, and
he said Lenn Bias was a better player. Michael Jordan's
as a talent, What are your thoughts negative?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I mean, len Bias was going to be the next
d and all that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
But I just can't uh.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Really look at that and look because Michael Jordan was
bad in college, you know what I mean. It wasn't
like he was exactly uh and len Bias was another one.
But I still would pick Michael. Len Bias was a
talent though Drew. I'm not sitting here acting like he
was nothing or you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Len Bias was scary rob because he had a jump shot.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I mean, how we feel about Lebron ripped up and Hughes.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I look at Buffy's but I don't know if this
but and I hear you, but there was something about
Michael that was that was even.
Speaker 10 (15:56):
He was made.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
God made Michael Jordan to be the best basketball BA. Okay, yes,
I will concede that and Jordan Lenn Bias.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You would take len Bias over Michael Jordan.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Know I'm saying, well, how we feel about Lebron and
a lot of stuff. And now he's not a savant
passer like Lebron, but just you're not in the eighties.
Nobody was walking around twenty years old ripped like that.
Nobody's jumping through the gym. That rip had a mid
range game, that athletic, that much joy. He was crazy
for those of you aluys hear the name, but never
go go look at him his game. And so that's
(16:27):
why you had the conversations people like man Jordan lin Bias.
He was younger than Michael, so the only times they
really played, I think he was a sophomore at his max.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But I think it's easy.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I think it's easy to say because he passed and
he didn't get in the league and play, so you
could just say, oh, yeah, he would have been better
than Michael jord I just because of what Michael accomplished.
Like we're just talking about with Luca, hard for me
to look at Cooper Flag and say he's going to
be All NBA five six years his first six years
in a row, and Luca did it five out of six.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That Goo's fundamentals is what we never talk about. We
talked about this flying through the air and that he
was so fundamentally sound. It was it's offensively specifically, it
was insane. Kevin say, footwork crazy, all the head fakes everything.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What's up keV? Kevin in Culver City, you're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Cav God, it's
good all the time.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
That before the July for the y'all, I gotta just
tell you I had. There was a guy named Blake
Griffin who came out of Oklahoma two thousand and nine.
There were four Hall of famers drafted after him, Drew Holiday,
Demarta Rosen, Stephan Curry, and the other guy show in
my mind, James Harden.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
James, I think Drew. Do you think Drew hall of Famer?
Speaker 6 (17:43):
He's Hall of Famer, He's a two time champion.
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Absolutely, But you look at Blake Griffin, I don't think.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
He's in Hall of Famer with those other guys. Now,
Cooper Flagg, for some coach who took a team in
the NBA finals to have the nerve to say he
would take Cooper Flagg without playing one NBA who might
be the next Christian Laterner over Luca the Don Doccas,
who was a walking Hall of Famer nearly thirty fours
a game and took a see of the finals. It's
(18:09):
just acidite. It makes no NBA stense whatsoever. Luca Docas
might be the baddest player in the league. He's wrapped
it with Shy and you're gonna say, You're gonna say
Cooper flag over Luca dockets.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
The box sings hit man, the boxings hit. They hit different,
the sweets hit different.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Kevin, I'm with you. I just think it's just really like,
it's not like and he brought it up. You just
mentioned Christian Layner.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
He did, he did.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
He Christian Layner was one of the great all time
great college hart.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He might be on my rush more. I think he is, Kevin.
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
He went to the All Star Game one time, his
solid career. Come on, But yeah, I do think Cooper
will be a little bitter than that.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Thanks a lot, keV. But I got the July, Yes,
the idea he'll just be better than like. I'll take him.
And it wasn't. This is what I need it from Avery.
I needed aver Ray to go. That's ah, that's a
tough one.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I needed at least that for him to say hands down,
and he said that, he said, hands down easily. I'm
taking them. He said, Cooper Flag easily, any day, Cooper Flag.
And I'm like, all right, hold on, settle down, because
Cooper Flag had a very good uh college one year.
But to your point, Carmelo had an amazing freshman, Sevin
(19:26):
Durant had an amazing freshman, Chris Webber had in fair
like there are people who like, let's not act like it.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Was the most given thing I've ever seen. He's saying, like,
like nobody else had li like a.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Alan Iverson was going crazy at Georgetown.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
All I know is after Avery said that I threw
up a red flag, I just want you to know. Sorry,
I gotta deal with that for the next ten fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh yeah, it won't be that long. Oh yeah, right,
you'll be here.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
You weren't when you weren't here. Rob g asked me that,
he said, who's going to retire first?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Me or you? And we all say me, You're gonna
retire before you.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Okay, you're not talking about like where they retire for you.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
No, No, like you.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I'm talking about I'm out the game. I'm done you're
gonna be You're gonna find somebod because somebody will keep
giving you checks.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Man, you like checks, I do like check But I'm
how you gonna pay for your Gucci?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I'm good. And you said you're not buying Pooci. I'm
not buying Poochie. He's always got to be Gucci.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Yeah, all right, don't forget Kaysher Tower or trivia. Coming up,

Martin was there.
Speaker 4 (36:31):

Speaker 15 (37:48):
Time on, give me that money? Moses? Who Moses in Nashville.
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio and you
are the last call?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
What's up? Moses? Why my people go ahead?
Speaker 16 (38:10):
I'm so honored to be the last call. Yes, listen,
I'm I want to start off by saying I am
a huge Spurs fan. I've been a Spurs fan since
David Robinson got drafted and I watched Avery Johnson's career,
all that good stuff, and I could not disagree more
with this take. Rob You had a lot of good
points about Cooper Flag and coming into the league, and
(38:33):
there's no in hell I would take Cooper Flag over
Luca Doncis. Luca doncs came into the league as a pro,
playing against grown men and was ready for the NBA.
I am not taking Cooper Flag over Luca Doncis. Five
times First Team All NBA. That just says it all, right, there.
Speaker 12 (38:56):
Now go, Can Cooper.
Speaker 16 (38:57):
Flag even live up to that? I'm just saying, no,
I love your show and I appreciate y'all, thanks for
taking my call and I love being the last all.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Thank you. We appreciate that at Nashville, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
I mean, that's the funny part is if if Cooper
Flag in his entire career will accumulate the same accolades
that Luca has already done in five six years, Like,
Cooper Flag might have a really really good career.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
He might be three Tom All NBA five Time All Stars.
I just gave you to Brady only three. Yeah, and
that would be a really nice career. We've play times
and he played twenty some year. Dude, to just ask
him to do that, that's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Like I said, Avery, Avery's trying to get so make
sure them tickets on lot so he can go see
Cooper Flag and go see a d and Kyrie when
he's healthy and all that.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
That's what that is right there.
Speaker 13 (39:49):
Man.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
I guess you're gonna Luca's got a lot to prove
though this season, which is crazy to say, but he
does have to.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
When you get dumped, there is a proving ground.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah, I mean, and then you get knocked out of
first round, so there's all that kind of stuff. We'll
have a great Fourth of July holiday. Tomorrow I'll be
in with Martin Weiss. He'll be in your steady. Alex
will be working that what you're now out tomorrow, what
you're gonna have buns out, but you're not hot dog.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Buns, no clothes, no boy shall You'll be here with
me right shade, Thank you goodness. I'll be here time
me you Martin. I'll save a burger for you. Jason
