(00:35):
As we are back twenty one hours after we last
left you. It is the Andy Average Show, and there
is a new coach in New York. We have Dot
Garrett on today to talk about all.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Kinds of injuries.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
We've got a famous halftime show that went south yesterday
for one of the for maybe the first time ever,
and the WNBA is still very much in the news.
Plus a record change as far as coach Pops all
time coaching record. Among the things that we'll talk about
on the program today. I mean, do you ever an
audio disseminators or Shane Carter and of course Michael Bartlett,

(01:08):
our producer. All right, I've got a confession to make, Okay,
you know it was just three weeks ago when I
got back from Scotland. Yes, and I told you, man,
I was. And it has nothing to do with you know,
fatigue tying. It's just walking seven miles a day and
playing golf at the same time.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You're giving up golf.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
No, no, oh, at that particular. It's taxing when you
do it eleven days in a row. It doesn't matter
how much your t levels are or how good you feel.
And I felt fine the whole trip. It was just, man,
that's a lot of walking. We around eighty miles. I
don't know if I'm gonna go again. Remember I told
you that I don't know when I'm gonna go or
when I might not go.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
You might not go to Scotland. Scotland.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, okay, not golf, but I may not make another
Scotland trip or an Ireland trip or an England trip
where you have to walk in golf. You know, a
place where there's not carts. Oh, you're gonna tiger it basically.
And then I started watching British Open highlights last night
they had and literally there was zero on TV last night.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I mean I turned it off twice.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
And then finally that the Golf Channel had golf films
the Open in Saint Andrews and I'm like, oh man,
I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Again, and we'll let you have a golf cart right now.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
You have to be over seventy and you have to
have a doctor's note that says there's no way this
person can play this golf course unless you give them
a cart. There you go and that doctor and that
would be well. I don't even think Dot Garrett could
pull that one off for me. Yeah, I don't care
what the prescription pad says.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
But I was.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
They were showing highlights of Shane Lowry in twenty nineteen
at Port Rush a few days ago, and so I
was watching that and I was like, there's another place
I haven't been. And then then they show pictures of
Royal County Down, which is supposed to be the best
golf court in Ireland and the best in the UK.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I haven't been there.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
And then I told you I have a distant cousin
in form by England that wants me to come play
their golf course. So I looked up form by England
the other day and it's like, Wow, that's pretty good
golf course too.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
So I gotta I gotta start you start selling a
lot of one.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
No, I need to start walking a lot so I
can walk over there. I need to make walking part
of the deal here. Except it's not. It's sixty five
degrees there for the high, not ninety five like it
will be here.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Most of the rest of the summer.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Just get, just get like robot legs at this point, Hey,
I legs, Hey I legs.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
There you go. All right.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Mike Brown's the coach of the Knicks, and you asked
me and I and I understand where you're coming from
this not because of Mike Brown, but because of the
fact that James Dolan is back in charge of the
Knicks after he built the sphere. What's the over and
under on number of games that Mike Brown is still
the coach because James Dolan has all the money in

(03:58):
the world and he can pull the plug whenever he once,
And what is he hoping to get when he sees
the start next year that they have to go like
ten and ten and two to start the season for
him to keep his job.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, what did I say, It's like forty forty three
or forty five games because he got fired from what
was Cleveland and Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Sacramento I thought was pretty quick This year too.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
It was I want to say it was close to
all All Star breakish, but I think when it was
in Cleveland it was what maybe twenty ish games, twenty
five games.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
It was pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't understand why you hire somebody and then get
rid of him before the season even gets to the
halfway point. But we'll see, and we'll talk about Mike
Brown's hiring in New York. I think the Knicks have
the roster to be the best team in the East
next year along with Cleveland, unless Cleveland does something that
has been talked about, and that is trade for Lebron James.
I don't know why anybody would trade for Lebron James

(04:53):
with the fact that he makes fifty two million dollars.
Lebron talks out of both sides of his mouth sometimes.
I want to win champions.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I didn't take the hometown discount for the Lakers that
I could have, and I would have been a lot
easier to be traded at thirty million dollars and I
would be at fifty two million dollars. And yet he
still wants to be traded to a quote unquote winner,
and I think he probably wants Ronnie to come with him.
So I don't know how you get all that. You know,
I hate the phrase you can't have your cake and

(05:21):
eat it too, because what good is a cake if
you can't eat it?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
But you can blame the Queen Elizabeth for that one.
I don't know where that saying came from. It's Queen Elizabeth,
Is that what it is? I believe, So is that
the origin? I believe that's the welgin I.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I if somebody's gonna give me a cake, tam will
better be able to eat it or just take it
back one way or the other.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
But my thought is is Lebron, you can't have all
the money in the world, you can't have your kid
with you, and you can't play for a winning team.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
You're gonna have to give up something somewhere. Well, that's
that's the main thing. Is it's hate Genie Buss, it's
Rob Polinka hate Lebron. We did you a favor, man
like in the bubble, we were able to go.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
You on it.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Ad We went and got you a duh. We drafted
your kid for you. We've done a lot for you.
Why don't you throw us a bone here and help
us out so we can look to the future and
keep this team together and help Luca out. I think
it's an ego thing. It's hey, I'm Lebron James. It's
not the Los Angeles Lakers. It's Los Angeles Lebron's. And yes,

(06:24):
you went and got Luka Doncic, but it's still my team.
Luca may be the future, but the future is when
I'm officially retired at like age three thousand.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Could have given he could have even he would have
even been better for them to do a two year
deal for Lebron at thirty million with a team option
for the second year, because then you could move him
and if he still wanted to play after the next year.
At thirty million dollars, to have Lebron on your team
is not that big of a deal, even if he
only plays alf the season.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
It's when you're getting in.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
That forty five to fifty to fifty five million dollar range.
But all of a sudden We're going to have this
guy on our team, and we we can't get better
because he's taken up a third of the salary cap.
That just doesn't work. So we'll talk about that coming
up in a little bit. We have a baseball fan
in Arizona that caught in the last few weeks for
home run balls.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Sometimes he leaned over the fence to get them. Okay,
sometimes he didn't. But the Diamondbacks have said, you can't
come back until next year because you're you're in the
way of the game. I have a solution. We'll talk
about this in the five o'clock hour. I have a
solution for ballparks to keep from fans from leaning over

(07:37):
the fence when the ball is in play or when
an outfielder could do it.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Let's doctor the baseball so nobody can into electricity in
fences or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Even Wow, I wasn't even thinking that hard. We want
to do We want to make alligator motes.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
You know, I basically want them to eliminate the front row.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
We start. The front row is the second row you
got to.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Get away from if you If it's wimby and he
leans over, he still can't get to end play. That's
how we got to get That's how we've got to
move the fences around. And we'll talk about that coming up.
All right, Angel Reees did not make the All Star Game.
She did not get voted. Okay, apparently this he's out

(08:22):
of the All Star Game now. I don't know if
there's a reserve situation here or how they're I guess
they they're gonna pick teams or whatever. But Angel Reese
sent out a meme yesterday, how is the leading rebounder
in the league not on the All Star Game? And
there are those and I hate saying this, but Angel

(08:43):
Reese's rebounding is getting her own misshots more often than not. Yeah,
I saw it's the Moses Malone padja rebound stat.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
It's the Ricky Davis patting your shooting at shooting at
your own your opposite end goal to get a rebound,
to pad your stat to get a triple double. But
I don't know if he wants me to name him.
I won't unless he texts me to let me know.
But yeah, I saw a posted on Facebook and he's like, yeah,
that's because ninety percent of your rebounds are from your

(09:13):
missed layups, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Like, that's pretty good. I had a coach one time
tell me, and I'm not gonna I'm just gonna tell
you what the coach told me. Coach can remain nameless,
but I had a coach tell me one time that
one of the hardest things to teach, because it's not
an innate skill for women in any level of women,
whether it's a Little League to the WNBA, is their
ability to grab a rebound and go straight back up.

(09:38):
And it's usually upper body of shoulders in not necessarily
core strength, but the power comes from your pecks and
your shoulders and your arms to be able to grab
the basketball and go straight back up and get clearance,
urrant clear people out of the way. That the power
that it takes to go straight up that you don't
see that in the women's game, and it's it's a

(10:01):
physiological situation. And people that have coached women for a
long time understand that there are those who can do
it efficiently, but there are those who have to do
it more finessely. Then you see the power game in
the NBA. And I'm not trying to say that there
aren't strong women. There certainly are but that's something that
we don't see from the NBA. And even when you

(10:22):
see a Britney grinder or a canvas park or dunk,
it's not in traffic. It's usually done without resistance to
the goal, so that they don't have to power their
way through people to get to it. That has always
been a problem for women's basketball. And I don't know
if that's the reason why. But if you ask people
what's the biggest criticism of women's basketball, they'll say too

(10:43):
many mislayups and then the player, you know, you shoot
from the left side and it's doesn't even hit the rim.
And it's a lot of times it's because of the
lack of that power skill that they don't have. But anyway,
I think the WNBA is in pretty good hands. And
the fact that three cities want teams that will have
them before twenty twenty eight is a good thing. Angel
Reese not being in the All Star Game, I don't

(11:03):
think that's a good thing. I think Angel rees should
be in the All Star Game, and because and I
think she should be a teammate of Caitlyn Clark. Now,
let's get this, let's help each other out here a
little bit now you're just.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Trying to be cynical and you want to create drama.
I think Angel rees should draft her when she gets
to pick. You mean Kaitlyn Clark.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah, I think Kitlyn Clark with the first pick.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I picked Angel Reese. Hey you're on my team, girl,
let's go.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, I wonder. I mean it could also be I
don't have it in front of me. It could also
be that because the Chicago Chicago Sky are just terrible
this year, they're pretty bad too, so it could be
a little bit of and I know it's fan voting
and also player voting, it could just be that, Hey,

(11:48):
a purgatory thing to where somebody on that team has
to get all the rebounds and shoot and have the
points kind of a thing.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
All right, Well, talk about Dame Lillard. I heard Brian
Winhurst say this week or yesterday, I think on a
on a on a TV show that Milwaukee the previous
the previous largest buyout of an NBA player, And I
wish I could remember his name, but it was a kind.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Of a it's very obscure.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Dang is Luel Dang No. I think it's thirty one
million dollars. Yeah, it's some obscure random person. And now
this is a one hundred and seventeen million dollar buyout. Now,
if somebody picks up Dame, his mid level, his veteran
minimum exception would be four million dollars so instead of
the and it would be pro rated if he doesn't

(12:35):
sign until midway through the season, because no one's going
to sign him when he's hurt. But if he goes
to a team, then the Bucks will get a little
bit of that money back. If he signs a longer
term deal, then they'll get four million a year back
that they don't have to pay because basically the new
team would pay the veteran minimum and whatever is left
over on the contract would be Milwaukee's responsibility. Yeah, but

(12:57):
it's five years and twenty two million of dead cat
money for Milwaukee.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm I don't know what the cutoff date would be
because you obviously have to be able to be on
a on a roster by a certain time to be
playoff eligible, like in baseball as well, if I believe.
But I saw one andy where they were saying, well,

(13:23):
Damian Lillard is ecstatic and elated that he gets to
basically go into free agency two years for other people's money. Yeah,
two years earlier than he wants to. And now he
gets to decide where he wants to go. And I'm
all fine and dandy with that. You know, he gets
to go back home and go rehab, be with this family,
be with this kids back in Portland.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
So it was Bison Dalyay, there you go.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Bison Delay had a thirty one point seven million dollars
buyout back in ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, and that's where this stre I believe it's called
the stretch provision rule or whatever, and that's what the
Bucks are using. I saw that somebody I forgot where
it was. It might have been the Four Letter Network
that said one particular place that Dame could look at
going would be Boston, And well, how about Portland. He's

(14:13):
not going back to Portland. I would give Dame a
little leeway of you want to ring Chase, go for it, dude.
That's a guy that has blood, sweat and tears for
an organization like like Portland and has tried to win
a championship. I wouldn't be opposed to him going somewhere,

(14:35):
but Boston would be terrible.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
But bost two guys coming off from the Achilles. Yeah, well,
and Boston's not winning any It's not winning. Next year,
Boston will make the playoffs because anybody that can breathe
makes the playoffs in the East. Wow, but they're not
going very far. All right now, let's talk to Doc
Garrett and get all the injury news. Coming up next,
it's the Andy Everage Show.
