Last night really needed to win against Calgary. They were
eight entered the game eight points back of Calgary for
the final playoff spot in the Western Conference of the NHL,
and then they fell behind three nothing on two calls
that absolutely went against them are goaltender interference one wiping
(01:28):
off an early would have been an early power play
goal for the Cracking Jed Sports, and a second one
allowing a Flames goal to stand challenging the call and
a slash in the same penalty produced plays produced a
five on three power play for Calgary with a two
nothing lead that made it three to nothing before the
first period was even over. Crack and Chase the rest
of the game lost three to two and are now

Cracking next play tomorrow night against Detroit at Climate Pledge
Arena right here in your home with a Crack at
ninety three point three KJRFM. New Seahawks offense coordinator Kyle
(02:11):
Kubiak has made his first three known decisions on the
assistant coaches for his new Seahawks staff. John Benton, sixty
one years old, a thirty three year coaching veteran at
the offensive line coach. He was that for the Saints
last season when Kubiak was New Orleans as offensive coordinator.
Andrew Jenoko is going to be Seattle's new quarterbacks coach.
He was a quarterback coach for the Saints with Kubiak's
offensive coordinator in New Orleans last season, so you can
(02:34):
see where that's headed. Seattle's also keeping wide receiver coach
Frisman Jackson on this year's staff from last year. Yogi
Roth of the Big Ten Network, whom Pete Carroll wants
hired to be an assistant for him at USC, is
reporting that Pete's son, Brennan Carroll is leaving the University
of Washington. He was the University of Washington's offensive line
coach and oc Brenn and Carroll leaving the University of
(02:56):
Washington and joining the Las Vegas Ray staff of new
coach Pete Carroll Hill work under new Raiders offensive coordinator
Chip Kelly. We played color that was announced or found
out yesterday. So Brennan Carroll leaves Washington, as does Steve
Belichick when his father Bill gets the North Carolina job
(03:16):
Jeed Fish has to replace both as coordinators before next season.
The biggest story of the sports weekend was in the
NBA to Mavericks trading Booka Danchets to the Lakers for
Anthony Davis and others. Gooding talk draft picks. Dantets is
a five time All NBA team members still just twenty
five years old, just led Dallas to the finals. Mavericks
went out depleted and gave up ninety one points in
(03:37):
the first half to lose at Cleveland one forty four
to one oh one. Last week, Davis had just said
we needed one more move, maybe get a big man,
and we the Lakers will be in the finals or
in the running Ford and now Davis, the big, one
of the big men of gone to Dallas thirty one
years old. And also last night, Sacramento Kings traded Aaron
Fox with the Spurs. We turned Seattle native in twenty
(03:58):
thirteen watching State player of the Year Zach Levine from
Baffle High School is going to the Kings in the
three team trade that's also involving the Bulls. I didn't
ask your opinion about that. I think that's a good
trade for Oh yeah, Kings to lose Fox game.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Levine, Oh yeah, Levine is he's really talented man.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
He can do it all. No discredit to Fox. He's
a pure point guard. And I think the Kings they
wanted someone that can just give you a bucket. So
I don't know they're gonna have a point guard, but
they got something that can give him a bucket. And
it's a bonus. My goodness, you guys double machine. So
if he continued doing what he's doing, I think they
got a chance to do something a little special.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
We'll see what happens, though.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Brian got remember him. No surprise at all that Kaitlyn
Devor has hired him back, making the fire at Seabawks
offensive coordinator to you new offensive coordinator at Alabama. One
thing I wanted to correct from what I said last hour.
I said the Seahawks have a press conference tomorrow with
their new offensive coordinator, Clint Kubiak. That's next Tuesday, February eleventh.
Seahawks perhaps not women getting away of super Bowl week. Yeah,
(04:57):
it is super Bowl week and they're gonna have the
press conference next Tuesday, eight days from now with Kaylin
de Boor. Washington Huskies men's basketball team broke their big
ten losing straight by winning Saturday at Minnesota eighty one
seventy eight. They're up two and eight in the conference.
Husky's host Nebraska Wednesday night at Heckgeed right here in
your Home of the Huskies KJR. Washington State's men's team
(05:18):
lost again for seventy five to fifty one at San Francisco.
The Coops fall to five and six on the West
Coast Conference with their four string loss WSHU at Oregon
State on Thursday and ten days until pitchers and catchers
report to Mariners spring training in Peoria, Arizona. I know
Chuck and Buck the Morning Show will be down there
at some point, probably early in the festivities to get warm. Yeah,
(05:42):
we're mixing up now. We're reading back your text now
because we're gonna have mac Engele. At eleven twenty five
on the LUKA Dantics trade to the Lakers for Anthony
Davis right now. The music means it's time to read back,
to tell them we'll do text line four nine, four
to five one when it's game time. It's totally time,
all right.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
From the two o six, Nate Carroll groomed to be
a Raiders' future head coach. Do you see that as
a possibility, Greg, No, not yet.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Because of the lack of experience. I would think more like,
and I mentioned it to Chuck and Buck at my
seven o'clock appearance on their show this morning, that Chip
Kelly could be the coach in waiting there. He hasn't
been an NFL coach since the forty nine Ers in
twenty sixteen. But to me that when I first saw
Chip Kelly to the Raiders, I thought, wait a minute,
why would he leave Ohio State and all that he
(06:25):
has unlimited resources? Top of the food chain in college
football is message college football is the national champion, paid
incredibly well and as I have to do the nil
transfer portal business. That's Ryan Day's problem, the head coach
at Ohio State, and I thought, We'll wait a minute.
It's a three year contract for Pete Carroll at Las Vegas.
Carol will be seventy seven at the end of that contract.
(06:49):
There's an option for a fourth year for the Raiders
to get Amy Goes the fourth year he's seventy eight.
Chip Kelly could still take over after four years as
Pete Carroll's play caller. That's who I think the coach
and waiting in the Raiders is.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Like that I do. That's a great point there. From
the two five to three the Kraken, Ugh, I don't
know what to say about them. They are hard to
watch sometimes and I feel like they are just beating
their head against the wall, running the same game plan
out there the night out for the same results. Something
has got the change last time I checked, they have
an HL level talent.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
What gives coaching m.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Easy to point at that, right, they make a coaching
change and results don't change. I wouldn't kind of push
back on saying that it's basically the same team. They
got Mentor, they got Stevenson, they decided full time on
Joey Decord over Philip Grubauer. They're a different team and
Monteur man I mentioned it when I was talking to
(07:45):
Mike Ben when you watch a game in person, if
I was just watching Monteur, part of the reason is
we were sitting right on the blue line.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But man is he dogged offensively and defensive.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He gets back. He doesn't just hang out on the
blue line trying to score or crashing a net all
the time. He gets back after he does that he's
a really active player all over the ice, and he
got as I said, he's second highest average ice time
in his career right now at going on thirty one
years old. I think they're getting all that more from
Brandon Montour I would, and he's I know he's a defenseman,
(08:18):
but I thought to start building the offensive team around him.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
From the two h six change coaches payer player is
basically the same same results, Dot Doc.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, It's that's why I've always asked.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Like the move on getting Basma, has that really worked
out the way they thought it would? And obviously we
know that they the crack and wanted more offense.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Are they getting more offense though?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Greg?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Would you argue, yes, that's it's in spurts, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
So?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I mean they give up a lot of goals and
they have the problem.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, And while they might have spurts of being a
better offense, to Greg's point, would you say they give
up more goals, golting is being an issue to see,
which is why they made that move last week.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And it's not always the goaltender's fault. They've been games
that Grubauer has gotten showed where he just has no
help at all guys Roman free in front of him.
I mean last night Calgary had guys just like Roman,
like deer through the slot and nobody checking him, nobody
blocking him. They don't. They lack a lot of defensive
tough guy intensity, like get out of my crease type
(09:25):
of guys cracking him about one hundred and seventy three
goals this season, and that is only Chicago and San
Jose in the Western Conference have allowed more goals than
those two. Team Chicago and Santas are completely bottom feeders,
but here we are the cracking ten points out of
a playoff spot.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Greg asked a question about the Seahawks. What's the next
move you want to see Treye signing? What you got
from the two six? I've been a Seahawks season ticket
holder for twenty plus seasons. Anyone who wants to trade
DK is killing their loser. They can go to Team
Mobile for a bibblehead night and enjoy mediocrity there. Use
DK right for the Hall of Fames as a superstar
(10:09):
at the Hawks need I feel you.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's about the usage of DK.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I think if they can get that nailed in, if
Clint Kubiak has that the running game, going play action pass.
I think DK can have a year where he has
eleven hundred yards, eight to nine touchdowns, all pro type season.
That's what I would be thinking with Clinton Kubiak. But
it all starts with that old line.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
It is with the old line. But you can bet
Chris Clint Kubiak was asked time and again, what's your
plan on DK Metcal because McDonald said, Hey, it's not
enough that he just tilts the field and defenses right,
we got it, no matter who him, no matter how
defenses are playing him. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I love how when you watch Aaron Rodgers and DeVante Adams,
Aaron would just look over at Davante and he would
see the cornerback playing ten yards off and he would
snap the ball and throw it right to him. I
don't understand why that's not in the the Seahawks playbook
because there have been I don't know how many times
you've seen it, Greg, you get the all twenty two
for the entire game. I'm sure there have been hundreds
of times where you have seen a dB lined up
(11:09):
ten to twelve yards away from DK, gino catch it,
throw it to him.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Less so recently as the teams have been going to
cloud and shell coverage, with which allows teams to take
risk at the line of scrimmage and put a corner
closer to them because they have a safety cheating over
the top. That gets corners more bold if they know
they have a full time health Yeah, full time every snap,
and that's often how defenses guard DK metcalv.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
From Michael two five through.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I would not do this, but DK draft picks for
Miles and draft picks well for one.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I don't know if it'd be enough.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You're gonna have that throw DK a quarterback, maybe another
receiver and an edge guy, and then some draft capital,
and then maybe the Browns will say, yeah, bring it
on over. But you just got to your entire roster
for one guy, and that's I think you just created
more problems. Don't know how that will work out.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Again, it is a team better or worse with DK
metcalf the team will always be better. I agree, I don't.
That's the most fundamental question you can ask about a
potential DK metcut. Yeah, it costs money. Good players cost money.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yes, Why do you think the Eagles are doing well?
They paid all the good players that cost money.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Are you a better team with or without DK metca
and I think this discussion stops there and they answer
to that is clear. Yeah, I don't even think it's
a oh.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Here check this out great three six soh three good
offensive linemen would be more valuable than DK by far.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
That's an interesting point. But could you acquire three defense
offensive linemen?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And that was going to be the question unless you're
trying to be the Eagles, right, because the Eagles have
five good linemen and they also have two elite receivers,
elite running back and a good quarterback super Bowl? Would
you be willing to pay that? Because that's the that's
the question you should ask John Schneider. Yes, theoretically, three
(12:59):
offensive good line, three good offensive lineman.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yes, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That creates that.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Allows you to do everything you want to do within
your offense.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Well, here's another question. Do you trust John Schneider and
his personnel staff to find three good offensive linemen, whether
it cost DK metcalf for anybody else. You're waiting for
my opportunity? You serious? There you go, that's my answer.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You don't know where you're staying.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You were waiting for that absolutely? Eric four two five
says what do you think the hold up is with
Ernest Jones' contract price? I think Jones is asking for
a lot when he saw how valuable he was. His
agent is trying to get his max. This is him again.
His first chance is big, big bucks. He's still on
his rookie deal that just ended, so this is his chance.
This is where owners Jones is right now, at this moment,
(13:47):
is where every kid who ever puts on a helmet
aspiring to be in the NFL tries to get to
a second contract. That is why they do what they do.
Take painkilling injections, get up at six am for stadium runs,
weight training, coaches, captains, practices in spring, in college, in
high school, and in junior high That is the second
(14:08):
NFL contract is generational wealth. That is where Dernis Jones
is sitting right now. So that's not just a slam dunk, Okay,
I'll sign whatever you offer type of deal. He's been
waiting his whole life for this. That's what to me
is to hold up. Brent and Carroll leaving to see
the Husky shouldn't affect much at you, dub who would
be the candidate to replace him? Two h six asks
how about Scott Huff seven years there, left one year
(14:32):
to go to Washington. He's available.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Who got coming up next?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Greg mac Engle, four warth Star Telegram, longtime writer and
columnists for them, long time friend of mine. It's back
in my baseball days in the early two thousands when
we became friends on the Raiders and Rangers, and as beats,
mac Engele's going to join us from Fort Worth. He
covers the Mavericks and he is saying that the Mavericks
bear get this right, or this might be the worst trade.
(14:58):
And like Babe Ruth to the Yankee. He even wrote
that in print, we'll talk to mac Angle from Dallas
about the Mavericks trading. Luka Dante's next on ninety three
point three KJRFM, Welcome back the Greg Best Show with
(15:27):
Christopher Kid. It rolls on here on ninety three point
three kJ r FM. Truly appreciate you listening. We truly
appreciate you tuning in to here. Mac Engel from Forward,
Texas four ward Star Telegram, longtime friend of mine who
has written about the trade that rocked the sports world,
not just the NBA world, but Luca Dante from the
Dallas Mavericks at twenty five years old, five time All
(15:50):
NBA player just led the Mavericks to the finals. He's
gone twenty eight points a game. Is going to the
Lakers for Anthony Davis. As draft picks involved a couple
of twenty one year olds to make the money work.
But basically it's daunches to the Lakers for Anthony Davis.
And everyone's like what. And then the Mavericks general manager
(16:12):
was trying to explain it yesterday. You can read the
body language of coach Jason Kidd like, man, it ain't
nothing to do with me. It'sposed to my decisions. This
is all his. It's interesting, to say the least. And
a man who knows about it is written about it,
knows the Mavericks very well. Mac dangel joins us on
the Beacon Plumbing Highline from Fort Worth. Thanks Mack for
joining us on short notice. How are you?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
I'm fantastic. I think it is the coolest thing in
the world that I'm on the Greg Bell Show. For
more Oakland eighth beat writer for an Sacramento Bee exactly
now has a show in the Great Pacific Northwest. Probably
made my day. I mean, I hope everybody's listening knows
that Greg Bell is one of the nicest guys I've
ever met in this possession. So when you reach out anytime,
(16:54):
I always try to say yes you did, No you
don't I ever asked me for anything. So I'm still
be on here with you today. Greg.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I appreciate it's funny you should say that at this time, actually,
but thank you very much. Mag What happened pre pund.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
What? What is this? What they do?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What the MAVs do?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Is it true that Dodgson when I found out, so
you would have found out about ten o'clock your time.
So I'm I'm Greg. I was in bed and I
looked at my phone. I looked at my phone and
it said breaking news, Mavericks Trade, Luca Dodget's and the
pictures are on there, and I'm like, okay, that's obviously
I'm not going to fall for this. I fall into
(17:37):
those dummy accounts, you know, from Adam Schlichter or something
like that, and this is obviously some shams from the ESPN,
And I'm like, okay, that's not real. And I looked
at it. I'm like, I'm like even now, almost two
days later, I'm like, they traded Lucas, Doncius and I
(17:59):
and you would think you've done this long enough, You've
done this as long as I have. You would think
you just kind of get numb to Hey, guys get traded,
Guys are tired, guys whatever. I am still stunned at
this development for all of the obvious reasons. I just
you could have told me a million different things were
going to happen and I would have said, yeah, okay,
(18:22):
I'm not surprised. This was no more. This wasn't on
my radar. I just and I understand now that the
reasons they're floating out, I don't buy them. I understand them,
And I think, Greg, what it really comes down to
the way this general manager who was hired after the
Mavericks he inherited Luca. The way this general manager wants
(18:45):
to run this team. And make no mistake, he's running
the team, not the owner. Mark Cuban has no involvement
in basketball operations with the Mavericks anymore, not the coach.
You said it. Just read Jason Kidd's body language on this.
This is the GM decision that in his mind, they've
got a three or four year window he's not thinking
about year five, and they the only way they're going
(19:06):
to do it is if they get serious on the
back end and have somebody in the middle. And the
only way to do that's get an All Star caliber player,
an All NBA Defensive pat caliber player. And they had
to give up Luca to do it. I get trading
them to me the part that's still appalling, and I'm
just like, that's all you got in return? That's it
you got, ad It gave these great a twenty nine
(19:29):
first round pick that might be the twenty third overall
pick in the draft. Who cares, somebody named Max CHRISTI
have never and that's it. That's all you've got. But
the maybe either the first, second, or third best player
in the world who is twenty five years old, and
that's all you got. To me, that's negligence or there
(19:52):
is something else going on that we will eventually later
learn about. That said the other team, the Lakers, had
a little bit more leverage in this than any of
us appreciated and realized. Otherwise, you want to ask the
questions like what were you smoking like, because I mean,
part of this is just baffling. And the wind, the wind,
it is taken out of this area. I've looked here
(20:15):
for twenty plus years. I've never seen anything like it
in terms of the utter sports devastation that it has
affected everybody.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I don't worse than anything the Cowboys have done with
Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's all crazy.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
It's not even close. The closest thing I can think
of is when the Cowboys had home field advantage in
the playoffs in two thousand and seven and they lost
in the Divisional round game to the eventual Super Bowl
champion New York Giants. That's the closest thing by far,
and that one was pretty devastating because it's Cowboys and
it's the NFL. This is on that, this is in
(20:48):
that level and that territory, and I don't know if
there's any equivalent. I would imagine when the Sonics left Seattle.
But this is utterly devastating because he was ours. You know,
you don't get many of these guys, and he was ours,
and that was gone.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Mac.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I was actually going back and forth with the text
that I was trying to understand it, and I'm trying
to explain it being not covering the team, just listening
to what the owner said what do you think about
the thought press of keeping it a secret, Because I
told the Texter. Had they just said, oh, Luca's on
the market, you could have gotten the hall. But would
that hall have been beneficial to the point of to
your owners expense? Hey, we feel that with ad we
(21:26):
are putting ourselves in an ability to win a championship
with him going offense and defense, both sides of the floor.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I think once you make it known that you would
be willing to trade him, it better be really quiet
because if he gets wind of it, especially guys like
that who was twenty five, and it just so this
doesn't happen to me. You don't do this to me.
(21:55):
So you ere keep it extremely quiet the way they did,
or you you just go ahead and do it and
you open it up and then you get whatever you
can because at that point, if it gets out and
he gets his feelings hurt, well then it's him or me.
And then so I understood it from that perspective of
keeping it really, really quiet. But I just I keep
(22:18):
coming back to this to get that little in return,
and not that Anthony Davis. This is the thing. This
is not Anthony Davis's fault, but to get this little
in return. That's the part that bothers me the most.
And because I do think this, they clearly are predicting
that his production is going to tail off and he's
going to continue to get hurt because he does not
(22:38):
take conditioning, nutrition and stay in shape a priority that
he needs to. Now he might because he's going to
be with Lebron James and there's nobody, maybe there's nobody
in the history of sports who's better at of the
Lebron James maybe, but he ain't doing it here. And
I think there was so much frustrations and the fact
that he didn't guard anybody. But I'm sorry, I think
you're learned to live with that. I think there was
(23:00):
just so much frustrations. They're like, Okay, if we're gonna
get me better, we got to do something big, and
just knowing where we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It, well, it's somebody. Mac Engelo fort Worth start telegram
joining us on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline from Fort Worth,
Texas about the stunning trade of Luke Duncheon to the Lakers.
Nico Harrison the GM. I mean in a case like this, Mac,
I know Mark Cuban's hands off now. But wouldn't Mark
Cubans step in and say, well, this is still my team.
You can't do this, or is he that divorced from it?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Oh no, he's he's gone. He's gone. When he sold
the team the original plan. And remember when he bought
the team, he bought it much of the way Jerry
Jones bought the Cowboys. He bought it to run it.
He bought it because he wanted to run a sports
team like you would play fantasy football or fantasy baseball. Man,
he had the money to actually run the Mavericks personnel,
(23:46):
and he did for the most part. He did so.
But when he sold the team, the original framework of
the agreement was I'm gonna be in charge of basketball operations.
Well that changed pretty quickly, much faster than I think
anybody originally thought. To the point where he was he
was out of it by the NBA Finals, which the
(24:09):
Mavericks were in. So I say this with complete confidence.
If Mark Cuban's still in the Mavericks, Luca Dodge is
just still on the team.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Why is Nico Harrison have such sway that who's checking him? Nobody? Nobody.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I mean, this is one of those deals where and
I don't know if there's any comparison in Seattle. But
so they sold it to the son in law of
Miriam Aldison, who is the spouse to the late Sheldon Aldison.
So I guess she's the widow who was the biggest
Las Vegas hotel and resort casino magnet. And the son
(24:49):
in law owns the team. But the son in law
owns the team because it's an investment and it's fun.
But he has let Nico Harrison and Jason Kidd, but
the basketball team people are going to run the team.
So these are your decisions to make. And if you
think trade and Nico or part of me, do you
think trading Luca Donch is a good idea? Okay, I
wouldn't have thought of that, But I trust you to
(25:10):
run the team. So that's why he did it. And
now maybe that maybe that structure changes. Sometimes owners deal it.
The longer the on the team, they start to get
a little bit more involved. But right now it's I
own the team, You run the basketball and that's the
way this is going to work. And that's why it happened.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Do you buy the GM? Nico Harrison saying we got
ahead of what was going to be a tumultuous summer.
He said that yesterday and explaining the trade.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
No, not necessarily. I mean the reality of it is
he was Luca was going to be doing supermax contract
at three hundred fifty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But that's what the mechanism is to keep guys on
teams like this, right, That's the whole reason it's built.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
In yep, And he was gonning. I mean, he's gonna
sign it had the Mavericks offered it, right, And I
just think that the Mavericks anticipated. I mean, Luca's been
hurt a lot, and he's only played in seventy two
games once and his entire NBA career, and that was
his rookie season. Now we have to temper that a
(26:05):
little bit because we're in an era of NBA players
where they're not playing eighty two games anymore. And I
think the goal is probably seventy two seventy five now
because of back to backs and load management. Yeah, I
don't want to go and we're scared of a hangnail,
so we have to scale that back. But the bottom
line is, the guy's always heard he's got a cash strain.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Right now.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
He's only played in twenty two games this season, and
the latest rumor that clearly the Mavericks are floating to
national NBA reporters is that he's at two hundred and
seventy pounds. That's enormous. I don't know if it's true
or not, but they're gonna have to do some things
to make this look good because this is an This
is as angry and of a hurt fan base as
I've ever seen. Yeah, the Mavericks aren't the cowboys in
(26:48):
this area. So here's the truth. They either win an
NBA championship and Luka Dongets does nothing, or Nico Harrison
will wear this like some Mike Tyson face tattoo for
the rest of his life.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Wow, Mac Mac, I am curious how much blame goes
to Jason Kidd, because as the head coach, you should
be meeting with your players in the offseason. You should
be trying to emphasize the importance of health. Not saying
that he didn't, because I obviously have no clue, But
how much blame do you think Jason Kidd takes on
this loss for Luca being traded away like that?
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Some some I give The one thing I give the
general manager all the credit about this is that he's
made it a point, in his own subtle way to
say this is entirely on me. There's now on the owner.
There is not on the coach.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
This is on me.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
And he's also said a few things cryptically that indicate
that maybe Jason Kidd didn't stand in the way of
this in terms of ja Kid and I are on
the same page, huh okay, And that you know culture,
and then he mentions the word culture, which has become
one of those giant sports terms that could mean anything.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Right.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Well, I mean, I even know what it means anymore.
It's kind of like the word holistic. People use it,
but I don't know if anybody really knows what it means,
and I don't. They talked to Luca a lot about this,
I know that, and I know there was some disagreement
about who his trainer should be. Well, okay, I know
they've tried. But the truth is, in this era of
(28:20):
the NBA, the Superstar Max contract player has all the leverage,
He has all the power, so you can tell him
until you're blue in the face and you've expunged all
the oxygen out of the arena, and if you didn't
want to do it, what are you gonna do? So
I think they tried, and I think he was where
he was, and they finally just said script, we're gonna
trade your friend, and I Steven as I say that,
(28:40):
I'm like, this is insane, talking about a once in
a generation player who was the bridge from Dirk Novitski
and they truded him for one guy. I'm say, Max
Christie got to be Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I'm sorry to tell you. I'm sure you've watched enough lame.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
He ain't no Jane, We're all gonna look stupid. And
ten years were like, oh my god, they're building a
statue of mackel Christie outside of Gallas. Sara, this guy's amazing,
because a genius.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
We will not replay this audio in case maxis.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'll be asking before I let you go real quick
about Brian Schottenheimer taking over the Cowboys. Did that surprise you,
first time head coach, longtime aspert to be a head coach,
son Amarty, You've seemed destined for this, but we out
here in Seattle saw him as a pretty great offensive coordinator.
Maybe the Seahawks wish they hadn't fired yet. Here he
is thrust right into this. How that all went down?
Is it because they they thought Mike McCarthy wouldn't take
(29:38):
any offer they offered him, or they underestimated his willingness
to test coaching market.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
Well, I'll tell you what this is the one. I mean,
the fact you were calling me on this day to
ask me to talk to talk about the Mavericks trading
Luka Doncics means Jerry Jones is now the second worst
general manager in our area. Yeah. Here, this is what happened. Greg.
Mike McCarthy wanted a five year contract. They said, we'll
(30:04):
give you three. He said no. Brian Schottenheimer said, I'll
stay that I want to call plays, and if I
don't get to call plays, I'm gonna leave. And then
so then Mike said, you know what, thanks Jerry for
everything to buy. I don't think they were really ready
for that. So then they started and I really thought
they were going to hire Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore had
been a long time assistant year well respected with the
Philadelphia Eagles, but they weren't gonna be able to hire
(30:25):
Kellen until after Philadelphia was done and they're still going.
So then they talked to some other people, including Lesley Fraser,
former Seattle assistant, and then they talked to Brian Toottenheimer,
and the more they talked to him, they thought, you
know what, this might work. So I've done this, been
around that franchise long enough that none of it really
surprises me. But Greg, it shocked the hell out of me.
(30:49):
I don't know if it's really going to change very
much with the Cowboys. Yeah, they're still pretty good. But
as you guys know, as anybody, it starts at the top.
And Brian Schottenheimer talked a lot about culture, culture, We're
gonna get this culture right. Well, the culture of the
Dallas Cowboys is to make a lot of money, be relevant,
be famous, and hopefully you'll have a pretty good football team.
And I think with Brian, they'll probably be pretty good,
(31:12):
but they're not a threat. They're they're probably like where
Seattle is right now, which is they're pretty good. They're
pretty good, they're not but they're not They're not a
real threat. But there they have a chance to be okay,
And I would suspect under Brian with that roster, with
that roster, yeah, they'll probably be okay there. I mean,
they'll probably sport with ten wins, nine wins and maybe
go to the playoffs and then get bounce in the
(31:33):
wild cards. And that's that's who they are. That's what
they've been, and until something dramatically changes at the top,
I don't care who the head coach is. That is
what I fully anticipate will continue here in the in
the future for America's.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Team that is Magangle And sir, you know how much
I appreciate you going way back to the day's now
on Peoria behind the dugout eating hot dogs during games
of spring training. Thanks a lot. Take care, man, pleasant
appreciate that check is in the mail or Vendo or
anything else. Mac Engele fort Worth Star Telegram, longtime friend
of mine in Dallas, talking about the Luca Donches straight
(32:07):
that he just is like, man, he's still he said
days later, he still can't believe they did it, and
he doesn't seem like he's buying the lines of two
hundred and seventy pounds and out of shape, and then
he thinks that's a spend.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Tell you this, I watched Luca for forty eight minutes.
Once you can say all that overweight stuff. My man
had his worst game when I watched him, and he
still put up a double double. Yeah, he couldn't hit
a shot, but somehow, someway he was able to get
eleven assists eight rebounds despite all that. So I hear
Mac when he's talking like I just don't get it.
But then I also see, oh, you get it. A
(32:41):
guy that defends. I Hey, they did fine without Luga defending.
They went to the NBA Finals. So we'll see how
this all shakes out. We get a few we three
months and see how it works out playoff time.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I can't wait. Obviously, Dallas didn't want to pay him
three hundred and forty five million dollars as he would
have a sure Walks contract. As we've been talking, and
Jetfish has been in Motlake talking Dave Softie Maller's there,
and Jetfish has announced that quarterback coach Jimmy Doherty is
going to be the new offensive coordinator, taking the place
that Brennan Carroll going to the Raiders to be on
the staff of his dad new Raiders coach Pete Carroll.
(33:15):
And Jetfish also just announcing in the last half, however,
that Michael Switz are recently promoted to assistant offensive line coach,
is now going to be the offensive line coach, replacing
Brenn and Carroll. Carrol had the dual role offensive line
coach and offensive corner. Jetfish is the one who calls
the plays during games, So Brenn and Carroll was full
time offensive line coach. Now Michael Switzer is going to
(33:35):
be that. So my little supposition of Scott Huff going
back to your dub is quickly squelched by Jetfish in
real time this morning. So those are two news on
the Huskies losing Brennan Carroll to the Raiders gaining promoting
I should say Jimmy Doherty from quarterback coach to new
offensive codiner, and Michael Switzer promoted from offensive line coach
to Husky's offensive line coach. Up next to Mayor Maple Valley.
(34:00):
The Great Infnest joins us on ninety three point three
KJRFM Welcome back the Greg Best Show with Christopher Kidd.
Pleased to be joined by Jessamin McIntyre because the in
(34:20):
finness is who knows where you know?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
He's a busy, busy man.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
He is.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah, big week for us super Bowl week here and
also Mike Hong runs induction. It's we're kind of walking
on these eggshells right now because I was asked this
morning on the Chuck and Buck Show to comment about
his candidacy, and we've talked about it, but as I said,
I don't think I really want to jinx it.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
But yeah, you know what it's It's interesting. I know
that each row is very discreet with his Hall of
Fame announcement. We all knew he was first ballot, and
I mean, there's that one person that we won't talk about.
But I get it. When you're in that position, you
don't want to. I could, I could see the nerves
heading into it. And also in this world, you don't
(35:01):
want to assume anything. So I think that we can
make a case for him. I know that Ian's done
a really good job of going through the stats that
he has as compared to other people. But also you
throw in the fact that it's different now for coaches.
It used to be nomination in and now it's voted upon.
And I just think that one percent he deserves it.
(35:22):
But I understand, like we're all like, yes, you never
know though, and so you don't know until you know, yes, yeah,
I agree for me.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
You look at Cower and do comps of those guys.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Wait a minute, I remember I think it was my
first year here. We were out at Seahawks. It was
probably mini camp because it was earlier on and hearing
Softie lose his mind and I was pretty near to
this station about you know, someone got posthumously inducted over
my home Grin and soft.

the final playoff spot in the Western Conference of the NHL,
and then they fell behind three nothing on two calls
that absolutely went against them are goaltender interference one wiping
(01:28):

goal for the Cracking Jed Sports, and a second one
allowing a Flames goal to stand challenging the call and

Cracking next play tomorrow night against Detroit at Climate Pledge
Arena right here in your home with a Crack at
ninety three point three KJRFM. New Seahawks offense coordinator Kyle
(02:11):
Kubiak has made his first three known decisions on the
assistant coaches for his new Seahawks staff. John Benton, sixty
one years old, a thirty three year coaching veteran at
the offensive line coach. He was that for the Saints
last season when Kubiak was New Orleans as offensive coordinator.
Andrew Jenoko is going to be Seattle's new quarterbacks coach.
He was a quarterback coach for the Saints with Kubiak's
offensive coordinator in New Orleans last season, so you can
(02:34):
see where that's headed. Seattle's also keeping wide receiver coach
Frisman Jackson on this year's staff from last year. Yogi
Roth of the Big Ten Network, whom Pete Carroll wants
hired to be an assistant for him at USC, is
reporting that Pete's son, Brennan Carroll is leaving the University
of Washington. He was the University of Washington's offensive line
coach and oc Brenn and Carroll leaving the University of
(02:56):
Washington and joining the Las Vegas Ray staff of new
coach Pete Carroll Hill work under new Raiders offensive coordinator
Chip Kelly. We played color that was announced or found
out yesterday. So Brennan Carroll leaves Washington, as does Steve
Belichick when his father Bill gets the North Carolina job
(03:16):
Jeed Fish has to replace both as coordinators before next season.
The biggest story of the sports weekend was in the
NBA to Mavericks trading Booka Danchets to the Lakers for
Anthony Davis and others. Gooding talk draft picks. Dantets is
a five time All NBA team members still just twenty
five years old, just led Dallas to the finals. Mavericks
went out depleted and gave up ninety one points in
(03:37):
the first half to lose at Cleveland one forty four
to one oh one. Last week, Davis had just said
we needed one more move, maybe get a big man,
and we the Lakers will be in the finals or
in the running Ford and now Davis, the big, one
of the big men of gone to Dallas thirty one
years old. And also last night, Sacramento Kings traded Aaron
Fox with the Spurs. We turned Seattle native in twenty
(03:58):
thirteen watching State player of the Year Zach Levine from
Baffle High School is going to the Kings in the
three team trade that's also involving the Bulls. I didn't
ask your opinion about that. I think that's a good
trade for Oh yeah, Kings to lose Fox game.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Levine, Oh yeah, Levine is he's really talented man.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
He can do it all. No discredit to Fox. He's
a pure point guard. And I think the Kings they
wanted someone that can just give you a bucket. So
I don't know they're gonna have a point guard, but
they got something that can give him a bucket. And
it's a bonus. My goodness, you guys double machine. So
if he continued doing what he's doing, I think they
got a chance to do something a little special.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
We'll see what happens, though.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Brian got remember him. No surprise at all that Kaitlyn
Devor has hired him back, making the fire at Seabawks
offensive coordinator to you new offensive coordinator at Alabama. One
thing I wanted to correct from what I said last hour.
I said the Seahawks have a press conference tomorrow with
their new offensive coordinator, Clint Kubiak. That's next Tuesday, February eleventh.
Seahawks perhaps not women getting away of super Bowl week. Yeah,
(04:57):
it is super Bowl week and they're gonna have the
press conference next Tuesday, eight days from now with Kaylin
de Boor. Washington Huskies men's basketball team broke their big
ten losing straight by winning Saturday at Minnesota eighty one
seventy eight. They're up two and eight in the conference.
Husky's host Nebraska Wednesday night at Heckgeed right here in
your Home of the Huskies KJR. Washington State's men's team
(05:18):
lost again for seventy five to fifty one at San Francisco.
The Coops fall to five and six on the West
Coast Conference with their four string loss WSHU at Oregon
State on Thursday and ten days until pitchers and catchers
report to Mariners spring training in Peoria, Arizona. I know
Chuck and Buck the Morning Show will be down there
at some point, probably early in the festivities to get warm. Yeah,
(05:42):
we're mixing up now. We're reading back your text now
because we're gonna have mac Engele. At eleven twenty five
on the LUKA Dantics trade to the Lakers for Anthony
Davis right now. The music means it's time to read back,
to tell them we'll do text line four nine, four
to five one when it's game time. It's totally time,
all right.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
From the two o six, Nate Carroll groomed to be
a Raiders' future head coach. Do you see that as
a possibility, Greg, No, not yet.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Because of the lack of experience. I would think more like,
and I mentioned it to Chuck and Buck at my
seven o'clock appearance on their show this morning, that Chip
Kelly could be the coach in waiting there. He hasn't
been an NFL coach since the forty nine Ers in
twenty sixteen. But to me that when I first saw
Chip Kelly to the Raiders, I thought, wait a minute,
why would he leave Ohio State and all that he
(06:25):
has unlimited resources? Top of the food chain in college
football is message college football is the national champion, paid
incredibly well and as I have to do the nil
transfer portal business. That's Ryan Day's problem, the head coach
at Ohio State, and I thought, We'll wait a minute.
It's a three year contract for Pete Carroll at Las Vegas.
Carol will be seventy seven at the end of that contract.
(06:49):
There's an option for a fourth year for the Raiders
to get Amy Goes the fourth year he's seventy eight.
Chip Kelly could still take over after four years as
Pete Carroll's play caller. That's who I think the coach
and waiting in the Raiders is.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Like that I do. That's a great point there. From
the two five to three the Kraken, Ugh, I don't
know what to say about them. They are hard to
watch sometimes and I feel like they are just beating
their head against the wall, running the same game plan
out there the night out for the same results. Something
has got the change last time I checked, they have
an HL level talent.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
What gives coaching m.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Easy to point at that, right, they make a coaching
change and results don't change. I wouldn't kind of push
back on saying that it's basically the same team. They
got Mentor, they got Stevenson, they decided full time on
Joey Decord over Philip Grubauer. They're a different team and
Monteur man I mentioned it when I was talking to
(07:45):
Mike Ben when you watch a game in person, if
I was just watching Monteur, part of the reason is
we were sitting right on the blue line.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But man is he dogged offensively and defensive.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He gets back. He doesn't just hang out on the
blue line trying to score or crashing a net all
the time. He gets back after he does that he's
a really active player all over the ice, and he
got as I said, he's second highest average ice time
in his career right now at going on thirty one
years old. I think they're getting all that more from
Brandon Montour I would, and he's I know he's a defenseman,
(08:18):
but I thought to start building the offensive team around him.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
From the two h six change coaches payer player is
basically the same same results, Dot Doc.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, It's that's why I've always asked.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Like the move on getting Basma, has that really worked
out the way they thought it would? And obviously we
know that they the crack and wanted more offense.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Are they getting more offense though?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Greg?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Would you argue, yes, that's it's in spurts, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
So?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I mean they give up a lot of goals and
they have the problem.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, And while they might have spurts of being a
better offense, to Greg's point, would you say they give
up more goals, golting is being an issue to see,
which is why they made that move last week.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And it's not always the goaltender's fault. They've been games
that Grubauer has gotten showed where he just has no
help at all guys Roman free in front of him.
I mean last night Calgary had guys just like Roman,
like deer through the slot and nobody checking him, nobody
blocking him. They don't. They lack a lot of defensive
tough guy intensity, like get out of my crease type
(09:25):
of guys cracking him about one hundred and seventy three
goals this season, and that is only Chicago and San
Jose in the Western Conference have allowed more goals than
those two. Team Chicago and Santas are completely bottom feeders,
but here we are the cracking ten points out of
a playoff spot.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Greg asked a question about the Seahawks. What's the next
move you want to see Treye signing? What you got
from the two six? I've been a Seahawks season ticket
holder for twenty plus seasons. Anyone who wants to trade
DK is killing their loser. They can go to Team
Mobile for a bibblehead night and enjoy mediocrity there. Use
DK right for the Hall of Fames as a superstar
(10:09):
at the Hawks need I feel you.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's about the usage of DK.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I think if they can get that nailed in, if
Clint Kubiak has that the running game, going play action pass.
I think DK can have a year where he has
eleven hundred yards, eight to nine touchdowns, all pro type season.
That's what I would be thinking with Clinton Kubiak. But
it all starts with that old line.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
It is with the old line. But you can bet
Chris Clint Kubiak was asked time and again, what's your
plan on DK Metcal because McDonald said, Hey, it's not
enough that he just tilts the field and defenses right,
we got it, no matter who him, no matter how
defenses are playing him. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I love how when you watch Aaron Rodgers and DeVante Adams,
Aaron would just look over at Davante and he would
see the cornerback playing ten yards off and he would
snap the ball and throw it right to him. I
don't understand why that's not in the the Seahawks playbook
because there have been I don't know how many times
you've seen it, Greg, you get the all twenty two
for the entire game. I'm sure there have been hundreds
of times where you have seen a dB lined up
(11:09):
ten to twelve yards away from DK, gino catch it,
throw it to him.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Less so recently as the teams have been going to
cloud and shell coverage, with which allows teams to take
risk at the line of scrimmage and put a corner
closer to them because they have a safety cheating over
the top. That gets corners more bold if they know
they have a full time health Yeah, full time every snap,
and that's often how defenses guard DK metcalv.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
From Michael two five through.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I would not do this, but DK draft picks for
Miles and draft picks well for one.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I don't know if it'd be enough.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You're gonna have that throw DK a quarterback, maybe another
receiver and an edge guy, and then some draft capital,
and then maybe the Browns will say, yeah, bring it
on over. But you just got to your entire roster
for one guy, and that's I think you just created
more problems. Don't know how that will work out.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Again, it is a team better or worse with DK
metcalf the team will always be better. I agree, I don't.
That's the most fundamental question you can ask about a
potential DK metcut. Yeah, it costs money. Good players cost money.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yes, Why do you think the Eagles are doing well?
They paid all the good players that cost money.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Are you a better team with or without DK metca
and I think this discussion stops there and they answer
to that is clear. Yeah, I don't even think it's
a oh.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Here check this out great three six soh three good
offensive linemen would be more valuable than DK by far.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
That's an interesting point. But could you acquire three defense
offensive linemen?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
And that was going to be the question unless you're
trying to be the Eagles, right, because the Eagles have
five good linemen and they also have two elite receivers,
elite running back and a good quarterback super Bowl? Would
you be willing to pay that? Because that's the that's
the question you should ask John Schneider. Yes, theoretically, three
(12:59):
offensive good line, three good offensive lineman.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yes, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That creates that.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Allows you to do everything you want to do within
your offense.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Well, here's another question. Do you trust John Schneider and
his personnel staff to find three good offensive linemen, whether
it cost DK metcalf for anybody else. You're waiting for
my opportunity? You serious? There you go, that's my answer.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You don't know where you're staying.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You were waiting for that absolutely? Eric four two five
says what do you think the hold up is with
Ernest Jones' contract price? I think Jones is asking for
a lot when he saw how valuable he was. His
agent is trying to get his max. This is him again.
His first chance is big, big bucks. He's still on
his rookie deal that just ended, so this is his chance.
This is where owners Jones is right now, at this moment,
(13:47):
is where every kid who ever puts on a helmet
aspiring to be in the NFL tries to get to
a second contract. That is why they do what they do.
Take painkilling injections, get up at six am for stadium runs,
weight training, coaches, captains, practices in spring, in college, in
high school, and in junior high That is the second
(14:08):
NFL contract is generational wealth. That is where Dernis Jones
is sitting right now. So that's not just a slam dunk, Okay,
I'll sign whatever you offer type of deal. He's been
waiting his whole life for this. That's what to me
is to hold up. Brent and Carroll leaving to see
the Husky shouldn't affect much at you, dub who would
be the candidate to replace him? Two h six asks
how about Scott Huff seven years there, left one year
(14:32):
to go to Washington. He's available.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Who got coming up next?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Greg mac Engle, four warth Star Telegram, longtime writer and
columnists for them, long time friend of mine. It's back
in my baseball days in the early two thousands when
we became friends on the Raiders and Rangers, and as beats,
mac Engele's going to join us from Fort Worth. He
covers the Mavericks and he is saying that the Mavericks
bear get this right, or this might be the worst trade.
(14:58):
And like Babe Ruth to the Yankee. He even wrote
that in print, we'll talk to mac Angle from Dallas
about the Mavericks trading. Luka Dante's next on ninety three
point three KJRFM, Welcome back the Greg Best Show with
(15:27):
Christopher Kid. It rolls on here on ninety three point
three kJ r FM. Truly appreciate you listening. We truly
appreciate you tuning in to here. Mac Engel from Forward,
Texas four ward Star Telegram, longtime friend of mine who
has written about the trade that rocked the sports world,
not just the NBA world, but Luca Dante from the
Dallas Mavericks at twenty five years old, five time All
(15:50):
NBA player just led the Mavericks to the finals. He's
gone twenty eight points a game. Is going to the
Lakers for Anthony Davis. As draft picks involved a couple
of twenty one year olds to make the money work.
But basically it's daunches to the Lakers for Anthony Davis.
And everyone's like what. And then the Mavericks general manager
(16:12):
was trying to explain it yesterday. You can read the
body language of coach Jason Kidd like, man, it ain't
nothing to do with me. It'sposed to my decisions. This
is all his. It's interesting, to say the least. And
a man who knows about it is written about it,
knows the Mavericks very well. Mac dangel joins us on
the Beacon Plumbing Highline from Fort Worth. Thanks Mack for
joining us on short notice. How are you?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
I'm fantastic. I think it is the coolest thing in
the world that I'm on the Greg Bell Show. For
more Oakland eighth beat writer for an Sacramento Bee exactly
now has a show in the Great Pacific Northwest. Probably
made my day. I mean, I hope everybody's listening knows
that Greg Bell is one of the nicest guys I've
ever met in this possession. So when you reach out anytime,
(16:54):
I always try to say yes you did, No you
don't I ever asked me for anything. So I'm still
be on here with you today. Greg.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I appreciate it's funny you should say that at this time, actually,
but thank you very much. Mag What happened pre pund.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
What? What is this? What they do?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What the MAVs do?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Is it true that Dodgson when I found out, so
you would have found out about ten o'clock your time.
So I'm I'm Greg. I was in bed and I
looked at my phone. I looked at my phone and
it said breaking news, Mavericks Trade, Luca Dodget's and the
pictures are on there, and I'm like, okay, that's obviously
I'm not going to fall for this. I fall into
(17:37):
those dummy accounts, you know, from Adam Schlichter or something
like that, and this is obviously some shams from the ESPN,
And I'm like, okay, that's not real. And I looked
at it. I'm like, I'm like even now, almost two
days later, I'm like, they traded Lucas, Doncius and I
(17:59):
and you would think you've done this long enough, You've
done this as long as I have. You would think
you just kind of get numb to Hey, guys get traded,
Guys are tired, guys whatever. I am still stunned at
this development for all of the obvious reasons. I just
you could have told me a million different things were
going to happen and I would have said, yeah, okay,
(18:22):
I'm not surprised. This was no more. This wasn't on
my radar. I just and I understand now that the
reasons they're floating out, I don't buy them. I understand them,
And I think, Greg, what it really comes down to
the way this general manager who was hired after the
Mavericks he inherited Luca. The way this general manager wants
(18:45):
to run this team. And make no mistake, he's running
the team, not the owner. Mark Cuban has no involvement
in basketball operations with the Mavericks anymore, not the coach.
You said it. Just read Jason Kidd's body language on this.
This is the GM decision that in his mind, they've
got a three or four year window he's not thinking
about year five, and they the only way they're going
(19:06):
to do it is if they get serious on the
back end and have somebody in the middle. And the
only way to do that's get an All Star caliber player,
an All NBA Defensive pat caliber player. And they had
to give up Luca to do it. I get trading
them to me the part that's still appalling, and I'm
just like, that's all you got in return? That's it
you got, ad It gave these great a twenty nine
(19:29):
first round pick that might be the twenty third overall
pick in the draft. Who cares, somebody named Max CHRISTI
have never and that's it. That's all you've got. But
the maybe either the first, second, or third best player
in the world who is twenty five years old, and
that's all you got. To me, that's negligence or there
(19:52):
is something else going on that we will eventually later
learn about. That said the other team, the Lakers, had
a little bit more leverage in this than any of
us appreciated and realized. Otherwise, you want to ask the
questions like what were you smoking like, because I mean,
part of this is just baffling. And the wind, the wind,
it is taken out of this area. I've looked here
(20:15):
for twenty plus years. I've never seen anything like it
in terms of the utter sports devastation that it has
affected everybody.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I don't worse than anything the Cowboys have done with
Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's all crazy.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
It's not even close. The closest thing I can think
of is when the Cowboys had home field advantage in
the playoffs in two thousand and seven and they lost
in the Divisional round game to the eventual Super Bowl
champion New York Giants. That's the closest thing by far,
and that one was pretty devastating because it's Cowboys and
it's the NFL. This is on that, this is in
(20:48):
that level and that territory, and I don't know if
there's any equivalent. I would imagine when the Sonics left Seattle.
But this is utterly devastating because he was ours. You know,
you don't get many of these guys, and he was ours,
and that was gone.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Mac.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I was actually going back and forth with the text
that I was trying to understand it, and I'm trying
to explain it being not covering the team, just listening
to what the owner said what do you think about
the thought press of keeping it a secret, Because I
told the Texter. Had they just said, oh, Luca's on
the market, you could have gotten the hall. But would
that hall have been beneficial to the point of to
your owners expense? Hey, we feel that with ad we
(21:26):
are putting ourselves in an ability to win a championship
with him going offense and defense, both sides of the floor.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I think once you make it known that you would
be willing to trade him, it better be really quiet
because if he gets wind of it, especially guys like
that who was twenty five, and it just so this
doesn't happen to me. You don't do this to me.
(21:55):
So you ere keep it extremely quiet the way they did,
or you you just go ahead and do it and
you open it up and then you get whatever you
can because at that point, if it gets out and
he gets his feelings hurt, well then it's him or me.
And then so I understood it from that perspective of
keeping it really, really quiet. But I just I keep
(22:18):
coming back to this to get that little in return,
and not that Anthony Davis. This is the thing. This
is not Anthony Davis's fault, but to get this little
in return. That's the part that bothers me the most.
And because I do think this, they clearly are predicting
that his production is going to tail off and he's
going to continue to get hurt because he does not
(22:38):
take conditioning, nutrition and stay in shape a priority that
he needs to. Now he might because he's going to
be with Lebron James and there's nobody, maybe there's nobody
in the history of sports who's better at of the
Lebron James maybe, but he ain't doing it here. And
I think there was so much frustrations and the fact
that he didn't guard anybody. But I'm sorry, I think
you're learned to live with that. I think there was
(23:00):
just so much frustrations. They're like, Okay, if we're gonna
get me better, we got to do something big, and
just knowing where we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It, well, it's somebody. Mac Engelo fort Worth start telegram
joining us on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline from Fort Worth,
Texas about the stunning trade of Luke Duncheon to the Lakers.
Nico Harrison the GM. I mean in a case like this, Mac,
I know Mark Cuban's hands off now. But wouldn't Mark
Cubans step in and say, well, this is still my team.
You can't do this, or is he that divorced from it?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Oh no, he's he's gone. He's gone. When he sold
the team the original plan. And remember when he bought
the team, he bought it much of the way Jerry
Jones bought the Cowboys. He bought it to run it.
He bought it because he wanted to run a sports
team like you would play fantasy football or fantasy baseball. Man,
he had the money to actually run the Mavericks personnel,
(23:46):
and he did for the most part. He did so.
But when he sold the team, the original framework of
the agreement was I'm gonna be in charge of basketball operations.
Well that changed pretty quickly, much faster than I think
anybody originally thought. To the point where he was he
was out of it by the NBA Finals, which the
(24:09):
Mavericks were in. So I say this with complete confidence.
If Mark Cuban's still in the Mavericks, Luca Dodge is
just still on the team.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Why is Nico Harrison have such sway that who's checking him? Nobody? Nobody.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I mean, this is one of those deals where and
I don't know if there's any comparison in Seattle. But
so they sold it to the son in law of
Miriam Aldison, who is the spouse to the late Sheldon Aldison.
So I guess she's the widow who was the biggest
Las Vegas hotel and resort casino magnet. And the son
(24:49):
in law owns the team. But the son in law
owns the team because it's an investment and it's fun.
But he has let Nico Harrison and Jason Kidd, but
the basketball team people are going to run the team.
So these are your decisions to make. And if you
think trade and Nico or part of me, do you
think trading Luca Donch is a good idea? Okay, I
wouldn't have thought of that, But I trust you to
(25:10):
run the team. So that's why he did it. And
now maybe that maybe that structure changes. Sometimes owners deal it.
The longer the on the team, they start to get
a little bit more involved. But right now it's I
own the team, You run the basketball and that's the
way this is going to work. And that's why it happened.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Do you buy the GM? Nico Harrison saying we got
ahead of what was going to be a tumultuous summer.
He said that yesterday and explaining the trade.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
No, not necessarily. I mean the reality of it is
he was Luca was going to be doing supermax contract
at three hundred fifty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But that's what the mechanism is to keep guys on
teams like this, right, That's the whole reason it's built.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
In yep, And he was gonning. I mean, he's gonna
sign it had the Mavericks offered it, right, And I
just think that the Mavericks anticipated. I mean, Luca's been
hurt a lot, and he's only played in seventy two
games once and his entire NBA career, and that was
his rookie season. Now we have to temper that a
(26:05):
little bit because we're in an era of NBA players
where they're not playing eighty two games anymore. And I
think the goal is probably seventy two seventy five now
because of back to backs and load management. Yeah, I
don't want to go and we're scared of a hangnail,
so we have to scale that back. But the bottom
line is, the guy's always heard he's got a cash strain.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Right now.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
He's only played in twenty two games this season, and
the latest rumor that clearly the Mavericks are floating to
national NBA reporters is that he's at two hundred and
seventy pounds. That's enormous. I don't know if it's true
or not, but they're gonna have to do some things
to make this look good because this is an This
is as angry and of a hurt fan base as
I've ever seen. Yeah, the Mavericks aren't the cowboys in
(26:48):
this area. So here's the truth. They either win an
NBA championship and Luka Dongets does nothing, or Nico Harrison
will wear this like some Mike Tyson face tattoo for
the rest of his life.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Wow, Mac Mac, I am curious how much blame goes
to Jason Kidd, because as the head coach, you should
be meeting with your players in the offseason. You should
be trying to emphasize the importance of health. Not saying
that he didn't, because I obviously have no clue, But
how much blame do you think Jason Kidd takes on
this loss for Luca being traded away like that?
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Some some I give The one thing I give the
general manager all the credit about this is that he's
made it a point, in his own subtle way to
say this is entirely on me. There's now on the owner.
There is not on the coach.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
This is on me.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
And he's also said a few things cryptically that indicate
that maybe Jason Kidd didn't stand in the way of
this in terms of ja Kid and I are on
the same page, huh okay, And that you know culture,
and then he mentions the word culture, which has become
one of those giant sports terms that could mean anything.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Right.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Well, I mean, I even know what it means anymore.
It's kind of like the word holistic. People use it,
but I don't know if anybody really knows what it means,
and I don't. They talked to Luca a lot about this,
I know that, and I know there was some disagreement
about who his trainer should be. Well, okay, I know
they've tried. But the truth is, in this era of
(28:20):
the NBA, the Superstar Max contract player has all the leverage,
He has all the power, so you can tell him
until you're blue in the face and you've expunged all
the oxygen out of the arena, and if you didn't
want to do it, what are you gonna do? So
I think they tried, and I think he was where
he was, and they finally just said script, we're gonna
trade your friend, and I Steven as I say that,
(28:40):
I'm like, this is insane, talking about a once in
a generation player who was the bridge from Dirk Novitski
and they truded him for one guy. I'm say, Max
Christie got to be Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I'm sorry to tell you. I'm sure you've watched enough lame.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
He ain't no Jane, We're all gonna look stupid. And
ten years were like, oh my god, they're building a
statue of mackel Christie outside of Gallas. Sara, this guy's amazing,
because a genius.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
We will not replay this audio in case maxis.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'll be asking before I let you go real quick
about Brian Schottenheimer taking over the Cowboys. Did that surprise you,
first time head coach, longtime aspert to be a head coach,
son Amarty, You've seemed destined for this, but we out
here in Seattle saw him as a pretty great offensive coordinator.
Maybe the Seahawks wish they hadn't fired yet. Here he
is thrust right into this. How that all went down?
Is it because they they thought Mike McCarthy wouldn't take
(29:38):
any offer they offered him, or they underestimated his willingness
to test coaching market.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
Well, I'll tell you what this is the one. I mean,
the fact you were calling me on this day to
ask me to talk to talk about the Mavericks trading
Luka Doncics means Jerry Jones is now the second worst
general manager in our area. Yeah. Here, this is what happened. Greg.
Mike McCarthy wanted a five year contract. They said, we'll
(30:04):
give you three. He said no. Brian Schottenheimer said, I'll
stay that I want to call plays, and if I
don't get to call plays, I'm gonna leave. And then
so then Mike said, you know what, thanks Jerry for
everything to buy. I don't think they were really ready
for that. So then they started and I really thought
they were going to hire Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore had
been a long time assistant year well respected with the
Philadelphia Eagles, but they weren't gonna be able to hire
(30:25):
Kellen until after Philadelphia was done and they're still going.
So then they talked to some other people, including Lesley Fraser,
former Seattle assistant, and then they talked to Brian Toottenheimer,
and the more they talked to him, they thought, you
know what, this might work. So I've done this, been
around that franchise long enough that none of it really
surprises me. But Greg, it shocked the hell out of me.
(30:49):
I don't know if it's really going to change very
much with the Cowboys. Yeah, they're still pretty good. But
as you guys know, as anybody, it starts at the top.
And Brian Schottenheimer talked a lot about culture, culture, We're
gonna get this culture right. Well, the culture of the
Dallas Cowboys is to make a lot of money, be relevant,
be famous, and hopefully you'll have a pretty good football team.
And I think with Brian, they'll probably be pretty good,
(31:12):
but they're not a threat. They're they're probably like where
Seattle is right now, which is they're pretty good. They're
pretty good, they're not but they're not They're not a
real threat. But there they have a chance to be okay,
And I would suspect under Brian with that roster, with
that roster, yeah, they'll probably be okay there. I mean,
they'll probably sport with ten wins, nine wins and maybe
go to the playoffs and then get bounce in the
(31:33):
wild cards. And that's that's who they are. That's what
they've been, and until something dramatically changes at the top,
I don't care who the head coach is. That is
what I fully anticipate will continue here in the in
the future for America's.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Team that is Magangle And sir, you know how much
I appreciate you going way back to the day's now
on Peoria behind the dugout eating hot dogs during games
of spring training. Thanks a lot. Take care, man, pleasant
appreciate that check is in the mail or Vendo or
anything else. Mac Engele fort Worth Star Telegram, longtime friend
of mine in Dallas, talking about the Luca Donches straight
(32:07):
that he just is like, man, he's still he said
days later, he still can't believe they did it, and
he doesn't seem like he's buying the lines of two
hundred and seventy pounds and out of shape, and then
he thinks that's a spend.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Tell you this, I watched Luca for forty eight minutes.
Once you can say all that overweight stuff. My man
had his worst game when I watched him, and he
still put up a double double. Yeah, he couldn't hit
a shot, but somehow, someway he was able to get
eleven assists eight rebounds despite all that. So I hear
Mac when he's talking like I just don't get it.
But then I also see, oh, you get it. A
(32:41):
guy that defends. I Hey, they did fine without Luga defending.
They went to the NBA Finals. So we'll see how
this all shakes out. We get a few we three
months and see how it works out playoff time.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I can't wait. Obviously, Dallas didn't want to pay him
three hundred and forty five million dollars as he would
have a sure Walks contract. As we've been talking, and
Jetfish has been in Motlake talking Dave Softie Maller's there,
and Jetfish has announced that quarterback coach Jimmy Doherty is
going to be the new offensive coordinator, taking the place
that Brennan Carroll going to the Raiders to be on
the staff of his dad new Raiders coach Pete Carroll.
(33:15):
And Jetfish also just announcing in the last half, however,
that Michael Switz are recently promoted to assistant offensive line coach,
is now going to be the offensive line coach, replacing
Brenn and Carroll. Carrol had the dual role offensive line
coach and offensive corner. Jetfish is the one who calls
the plays during games, So Brenn and Carroll was full
time offensive line coach. Now Michael Switzer is going to
(33:35):
be that. So my little supposition of Scott Huff going
back to your dub is quickly squelched by Jetfish in
real time this morning. So those are two news on
the Huskies losing Brennan Carroll to the Raiders gaining promoting
I should say Jimmy Doherty from quarterback coach to new
offensive codiner, and Michael Switzer promoted from offensive line coach
to Husky's offensive line coach. Up next to Mayor Maple Valley.
(34:00):
The Great Infnest joins us on ninety three point three
KJRFM Welcome back the Greg Best Show with Christopher Kidd.
Pleased to be joined by Jessamin McIntyre because the in
(34:20):
finness is who knows where you know?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
He's a busy, busy man.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
He is.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah, big week for us super Bowl week here and
also Mike Hong runs induction. It's we're kind of walking
on these eggshells right now because I was asked this
morning on the Chuck and Buck Show to comment about
his candidacy, and we've talked about it, but as I said,
I don't think I really want to jinx it.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
But yeah, you know what it's It's interesting. I know
that each row is very discreet with his Hall of
Fame announcement. We all knew he was first ballot, and
I mean, there's that one person that we won't talk about.
But I get it. When you're in that position, you
don't want to. I could, I could see the nerves
heading into it. And also in this world, you don't
(35:01):
want to assume anything. So I think that we can
make a case for him. I know that Ian's done
a really good job of going through the stats that
he has as compared to other people. But also you
throw in the fact that it's different now for coaches.
It used to be nomination in and now it's voted upon.
And I just think that one percent he deserves it.
(35:22):
But I understand, like we're all like, yes, you never
know though, and so you don't know until you know, yes, yeah,
I agree for me.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
You look at Cower and do comps of those guys.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Wait a minute, I remember I think it was my
first year here. We were out at Seahawks. It was
probably mini camp because it was earlier on and hearing
Softie lose his mind and I was pretty near to
this station about you know, someone got posthumously inducted over
my home Grin and soft.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
So, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
We're all just uh, we're hoping and obviously rooting for
coach all day all we but we do.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
We have Mike Sando, who is going to say someone
who has yes, given the home grown the reasons why
has has outline that case Mike Sandals.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Yeah, we have him coming up at two o'clock and
he'll give us more insight on how the process works
and works now and how it changed. Because I can't
do it justice. He knows very well. We have a
lot of Super Bowl preview coming up with Hugh Millan,
so we absolutely have to give him an hour that
is from one to two pm.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Oh wow, yeap, yep, yeah, hardcore. Even though there was no.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Football over the weekend, you know, there was Patty Cake
on Sunday. But with the Pro Bowl Games, we got that.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Second ten years game.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Of chat catch catch.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
You know, it is what it basically always is. They
finally acknowledged it by calling it the Pro Bol Games.
But also block us are trading the NBA. Yeah, we've
been talking about that morning, reshaping the West, and we
