Speaker 1 (00:00):
Number one on your car radio preset hand the new
and improved Iheard Radio w A Y S and w
D two seven three D Philadelphia is Fox Sports Radio
The Gambler. Anyway, we go, Good afternoon, everybody, another edition

(00:47):
to Daily Ticket. Comment your way, it is as hot
as can be outside. Yes, I know everybody's starting the
show off by saying exactly that. I don't care it's hot.
I'm cranky, I'm sweaty. And there's a big difference between
you and I. When it's hot outside, I'm bald. I

(01:10):
don't have the mop on top that like. You know,
when you sweat out there, you sweat the glands and
all of a sudden it soaks your mop that keeps
you guys and gals cool. Me none of it rolls
right down the back. Need three shirts just to get
right from my house to the damn studio just to

(01:30):
do a show. But I ain't complaining because I would
rather this weather over snow and the cold and the
rain that we have had. And of course it's going
to rain again this week and God bless Anyways, nobody
wants to.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Hear me be n C for three hours here today.
That's for damn sure.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Shout out Nikki cousin, Nikki checking in. He's been banging
the timeline with a lot of content for us plenty
to discuss in the Philadelphia Slash National Sports World and.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
The great One Colby Marshy checking in.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, as cal Rawley did it again last night. Are
you absolutely good? Bibe? Are you bleeping me? He's just
on fire. It's insane what he's doing right now. I
think he's on pace for sixty seven bobs before the
All Star Game, and I believe four or excuse me,

(02:28):
sixty seven for the season forty before the All Star Game.
It is Colin Sean Grat on his own show, We
need to Yeah, you know, Colby, great to have you,
my friend, always a fan of everything you're putting out there.
Stay hot, as they say, all right, Mark Ever is
gonna join me from the jump. Now here's the deal.
We do have a big time baseball game going on

(02:49):
in Houston, and I'm talking about we have potentially a
World Series preview. I mean it happened a couple of
years ago and it's a South ah showdown. Fran Ra
Valdez and Ranger Suarez. Let's fire up DraftKings from the jump,
and we'll take a peek at seven of the numbers
here minus one fifty seven for the Astros at home

(03:11):
plus one twenty nine full disclosure. Had to do some
digging on the strokes. You know, Mark, who's gonna be
joining me in a second. It's probably chasing this dog around,
probably doing something like that. So I remember in the
offseason when Alex Bragman ended up at he was moved

(03:32):
off of the Astros, and of course this is before
he signs with the Socks, And I remember doing a
show with Mark and I said, well, damn, I feel
like the Astros are gonna finally take a step backwards,
like this is It's gonna get ugly for him this year,
don't you think? And Mark was like, Nope, don't don't
think that at all. In fact, here we are now,

(03:54):
June twenty fourth, and I got my hand in the air.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I guess that.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Shouldn't because it is a hell of a franchise. They
know what they're doing down there in Houston, putting all
that nonsense, banging the garbage cans to the side. You know,
they did cheap for a couple of years. Whatever, who cares?
You gotta go up there and hit the baseball they did.
I mean, it helps when you know it's a curveball, right,
I digress. The Astros, though, are top in the West.

(04:18):
Right here, right now, I looked at the er. As
far as whipp is concerned, they're top five strikeouts number one.
As far as pitching rotation is concerned, the bats have
been delivered.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Mark Henry Gunia joining me right here from the jump. Mark,
how's surprised?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I mean, I'm not shocked, but I am surprised that
the Shows are currently in first and are dominant, and
our team that could potentially be representing the West in
the or excuse media, American League in the World Series.
But man, here we are on June to twenty fourth.
What is your outlook right now for the Astros?

Speaker 3 (04:51):
It comes back to what I think I was probably
saying around that time. The AL stinks this American League.
I've never seen a big your gap in any sport
from conference to conference as there is this year in
the NL to the AL.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
I feel confident in NFC to the AFC. I think
football is usually football is usually.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Too close that I don't think there's ever been a
time where there's an NFC or an AFC.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
I know, the last couple of years we've had Mahones
and Burrow and Allen and Lamar duking it out.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
But those Niners teams that made the Super Bowl were
really good.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
The Eagles almost won a couple of years ago. They
obviously just won this year.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Maybe there's been some times the NBA has been close,
but you look at the NL, I think you.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Could argue that the top.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I think the Phillies, Mets, Cubs, and Dodgers are all
better than any team in the American League. And I
think Houston's right with Detroit, right with the Yanks. Yeah,
for the top of that American League. Whoever you want
to argue is the best team out of that al.
And it doesn't surprise me at all because, and part
of it, nobody's a bigger Kyle Tucker guy than me.

(05:57):
I think he's a top five player in the sport.
And I think everybody you just mentioned it. When they
lost him, people figured, oh, here's kind of where the
run stops.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
But the thing.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
About that was last year he missed the second half
for a large part of the second half of the year,
and that's when they made their surge. Last year to
get back into the mix, and I forget if they
won that. I think they won the division last year
as well. I know they were in the playoffs, but
that was how that they surged to get there without
Kyle Tucker. And when that happened, I kind of threw
my hands up and said, you know, this team's going

(06:28):
to figure out a way no matter what. And they
have Parades, who has been a guy for a long
time people have been high on. They traded a lot
to get him. I was never a big fan of him.
He's popped and he's been fantastic there. Jeremy Paine is
hitting three twenty six there. He's been fantastic. He's been
up and down in his career. He killed us in
the World Series obviously, and has kind of been up

(06:50):
and down since then. He's been fantastic. Hunter Brown has
been one of the best pitchers in baseball.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Brown Conquest.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
We all know about Frambery, We all know what Framberg.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Dominate domin his last eight starts, and.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Then you just need some depth from the other guys
in that rotation. They have a great bullpen. Hater's been
awesome with Bray has been awesome. They've got dudes all
over in terms of arms, so I'd expect them to
be aggressive with the deadline.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well how about this, you know, you bring up the
American League. Just a fun conversation to get the party
started here today. And for my money, the two biggest
disappointments in Major League Baseball this year just played last
night between the Oriols and the Rangers, both American League.
You know, like I thought the Rangers were going to
be a hell of a lot better than what they
are currently. Could they turn it around? Plenty of baseball

(07:40):
Oriols are a lost cause they are cooked. That's a
It's a bad franchise from top, from of course, the
ownership all the way to the front office with the
decisions that they've made, and then of course where they're
at right here, right now. So let me ask you
this one quick one as far as tonight's game, and
we will revisit this game coming up here about three
thirty five. Get back into the Phillies conversation. The right

(08:02):
team favored in your mind at minus one fifty seven
for the Stros versus Ranger and the Phils.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, Ranger's got some pretty bad BVP numbers against Houston
I'm staying away from that one tonight. I do understand though,
if you're out there and you see a plus my
assignment the Phils and you think worth taking it. Framber
has been so good, though dominant, they struggle against left
handed pitching at times, So staying away from that one
expecting probably a loss tonight.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh all right, well starts at eight ten first pitch
and looking forward to we'll catch it.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm actually going to the movies tonight, Mark Henry Jr.
What are you seeing an advanced screening of F one?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh yeah, same, I with to an iHeart deal we get,
you know, the emails sent around.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I said, yeah, I'll go check that out.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
The only issue is, though, you want to talk about
a kicking the pills. I said, yeah, I take it.
And this is me complaining more. It's all the way
up in Bendsale.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's where I'm That's where I'm playing, probably in the shamaniah.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Correct and yeah they start booze there. They got beers
in that in that movie theater.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I think, so, I haven't been there in a long time.
I think there's a mcguffin's in there. There's usually an AMC.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Bar Is that an a. Is that a movie theater
bar chain man? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah, oh I love it.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Are we on movie corner right now? We were talking movies?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well we're almost there, man.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Let me tell you on my ride in today, it
might have been better for them just the sports channels
to play music. I heard one host on a national
syndicated radio station, he was filling in for the full
time host, going, yeah, it's kind of an adult time
of the sports calendar right now. And then he started
reading quotes about Cooper Flag and Lebron James and I

(09:51):
was just cracking up because he had absolutely nothing. And
before that he asked the question, uh, in which I
am going to get into a little bit from the
NBA draft, But we'll discuss that coming up here in
just a second. All right, let's keep it moving. We
got Mark Henrick Jr. And speaking of the NBA draft,
let's do it. Oh yeah, ladies and gentlemen, it is

(10:14):
here tomorrow night.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Whoa loads bomb. Pelicans are trading CJ. McCollum to the
Washington Wizards. No info yet on for what. I imagine that's
a salary.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Um, okay, and what the Wizards are the sixth.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, there's no way six. I guess the Pelicans are
at seven. Maybe there's a swap see there, something like that,
But I am I imagine this is a maybe the
Wizards trying to get somewhat competent players, so they're trading
shams just said CJ. McCollum, Kelly olennok in a future

(10:55):
second for Jordan Poole city k Bay and the number
forty picks.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
That's a bad for a bad contract.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, good on the Wizards forgetting for cleaning house.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Good on them. That was a disaster.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
And I know the Pelicans well they were a bit
by the injury bug from the start of that season.
But bottom line is Wizards need to just, you know what,
go put all your eggs into the eighth Bailey basket.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
I think I hate that for the Pelicans.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
All right, I got a question for you.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
So when it comes to the NBA Draft, why did
you just say shams instead of WOJ. Was that just
a reaction You saw a big trade and you were like, yo, wojbomb.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I uh my guy. I'll always say all.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right, so in the NFL, when it's NFL Draft time,
I don't have to like you literally log on and
there is a mock draft on your timeline. Right you
walk down the street and somebody dropped a print out
of a mock draft. There are a million one NFL
mock draft gurus. Why when it comes to the NBA,

(12:00):
there's like three.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
The NBA draft has always been something I felt like
has been really poorly covered. I've always felt like my
whole life, I've been like searching for podcasts, Like the
week before, we're always on, usually at the beach around
this time. I just got back from the beach. As
you can tell by my sunburn, you're good. I'm usually
looking for like I usually search NBA draft podcast, YouTube

(12:27):
or podcast that, and I feel like I'm listening to
guys who are totally guessing.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Sometimes I will.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Say, nobody's doing it better than a trill trill bow
dude and the you know ball stuff.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
They cover the NBA Draft draft front to back. Okay,
they're they're they're insane the way they covered the.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Real in a college hoops guy, I didn't really think
he was.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I thought he was just a slop n B a
full thrott or Does he have people to help him?

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, yes, people that definitely help him but he dives
in like heavy, especially years where the Sixers have a
high pick. Gotcha, I'd say he dives in really heavy.
But he was, he's dove in in years past. You know,
he was really in on Maxie in twenty twenty. I
remember we were both banging the Maxi drum.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
So yeah, they do great, great work over there.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
They just had a couple of draft experts from No
Ceilings on No Ceilings a good NBA draft pod as well.
They do some great work over on Twitter as well.
Cavony's the goat though, I'd say, yeah, and he's.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Making a huge name for himself. He's really all over
the scene right now. He is.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
He's great.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, he's top three draft Express correct.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yes, okay, all right. So with that being said, Mark
hevery Jr. Joining us and he is a draft officionado
when it comes to the NFL. Loves the seventy six
ers all over this NBA draft. So a great question
from for Mark here on the jump. And I can't
wait Mark if tomorrow night the Philadelphia seventy six ers

(13:54):
all of a sudden, look you know what, let me
let me go ahead, let me set the stage.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
He are you ready all of a sudden, All of
a sudden, and with the.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Third pick of the twenty twenty five NBA Draft, these
seventy six ers up up, we got a trade.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I open up the envelope.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
It looks like they just traded with the Charlotte Hornets.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, have traded down.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
What is your reaction if they trade out of the
three spot, like I get it, Well, who do they get?

Speaker 2 (14:30):
What?

Speaker 4 (14:30):
No?

Speaker 1 (14:31):
No, no, no, no, it's the three They are in
the overall third spot where you are coming off a
disaster of a season, one that I couldn't even watch
it was that painful. I'm sure there's a lot of
people out there, and now you're telling me that they're
not going to draft somebody in the three spot.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
What will be your take?

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Because more and more again, well man, it's just guess
here that you're seeing all this rumors and this is
rumor season, this is smoke season. But it does feel like, man,
you know what, anything is possible right now. And I
don't know if that's a screw up by the seventy
six ers. If they do trade back again, it all
matters who they end up getting, what they got in return,
so on and so forth. But man, Like, you know,

(15:11):
let's just be you Bobby from the ship shipyard here
a caveman style. Wait a minute, you're just coming up
at that season. Now you're trading back from the three spot.
That can't be good. What's your reaction if that's the case.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's so it's a tough it's a tough balancing act
for me. It's I have made it clear I'm an
Ace Bailey guy.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Let's just like put that aside.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
From the conversation at this point because with him not
working out, because everybody's like, oh, they're still gonna draft
as Bailey the Sixers, it's gonna be a mess. And
like you know, Kyle Pagan's asking Governor Shapiro and you
got all that stuff going on with as Bailey. I
don't even think it's worth talking about because the whole
root of it is we don't want him. So it's

(15:56):
like he would have worked out here if we promised him,
and if we were gonna take him to the third pick.
I don't know what would happen in between him saying
no to working out here and the draft for us
to draft him at three.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Maybe you trade down and pick him. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
But I'm for all purposes of this conversation, drafting Ace
Bailey is not an option for this I agree, let's
just put it like that. I think it's probably not
an option even if they wanted it to be.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Or if they don't want it to be.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
But I think the reason it's not an option is
because they don't want it to be, which is a.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Shame for Ace. Like, what are you doing, dude?

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Nobody plays until what do you Nobody plays their entire
NBA career with one team. You go in make a
name for yourself. I get the second contract. That's what's
the most important deal. Sam had a good breakdown, uh yesterday.
I want to say it was with me, but come on, dude,
you're a rookie, get into a get into the league,
and make a name for yourself.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Regardless of where you're at.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
He's getting horrible, horrible representation. Shreef Cooper's dad should be
in prison. But that's a that's another conversation. But taking
Ace out of it, where we're at then is I
don't want to trade up for Harper. I'm not as
high on Harper as the general consensus. I actually have
Harper fourth on my board, which is a shocking thing.
People think I'm crazy for that, But if he's not

(17:12):
a good shooter, then we've seen it's just really hard.
The top fifteen guards in the NBA right now are
all unbelievable, liked Aaron Fox is in a top fifteen
guard in the NBA.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
If you go stack it out, like.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Think about the guys who miss out on making the
All Star Tea every year at guard Like it's just
there's That's why Sean Bernard said Dylan Harper's for sure
gonna make All Star Games, and I was like.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
For sure, Like that's where I pushed back on that.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
I think anyone outside of Flag you can't say for
sure is going to make an All Star Game. It's
such a high bar, and it's even higher when you're
a guard, So I'm not I don't want to trade up.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Put that aside.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
That means your options are pretty much VJ con maybe Trey,
maybe Malawock. I don't think there's been any rumors about Malawok.
So here's where we're at. I want VJ. I want VJ.
I want to take him with the third pick. I
have VJ third. Overall, I think VJ looks how an

(18:11):
athletic freak who ends up becoming a star in a
couple of years looks at age eighteen, he was a
top five high school recruit. Even if there was concerns
about the shooting in the in the workout, which, by
the way, whoever leaked that from the Sixers organization should
be launched into the sun. Darryl Moory and Josh Harris
should be conducting like an investigation unlike anything we've ever seen,

(18:34):
hiring FBI agents to try to figure out who leaked
that about VJ. Edgecumbe because A, you're just putting down
the guy that the Sixers are probably gonna draft, or
B you're hurting our leverage and potentially trading down and
getting more assets to trade down by saying that he
sucked in a workout with us, and that's why we're
trying to trade. No matter what the reasons, whoever leaked it, scumbag.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Moved and they just got rid of everybody due to
the leaks, like.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Unbelieve maybe maybe well again, it's hard to sit here.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Only Edgecomb would know whether or not that's that's true
or not, And of course Sixers representative representatives, But.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, that's terrible.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
They literally got rid of a ton of pr people,
dwell and beat security guard. There was a Keith Pompei
article early May that like really underneath the radar and
should have gotten a heck of a lot more attention,
And it was due simply to the fact of all
the leaks, specifically with the EMBIID news remember him showing
up the late late to practice. We had that deal.

(19:32):
Of course, the injury, so on and so forth. So
Sixers cleaned house. I don't really I don't necessarily say
that that's how I would have handled business. But at
the end of the day, if you have an issue,
you got a rat, you got to get rid of them.
And they chose to go down that path. So really
interesting that somebody would put their neck online leaking some
sort of information like that about VJ.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Edgecombe and here we are.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
So I think the three realistic options in a trade back,
a slight trade back would be VJ training Conn. If
you're trading back, that means you're probably giving up the
right to take VJ. I think it's probably Charlotte that
would move up and take VJ. If you're trading back
and getting Trey Johnson I'm in. I'm in on Trey Johnson,

(20:14):
the superstar potential, the shot making he oozes star potential.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
I think he also has a really low floor.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I think that there is a potential Trey Johnson shoots
his way out of the league in three or four years.
Or I think there's a chance he's a better shooting
Devin Booker. I think he's the widest range outcome prospect
I can remember in a very long see the.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Best shooter in this draft, top ten, top fifteen, lottery
Yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Better than better than Conkinipple.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
It's maybe CON's a better catch and shoot shooter. I
think Trey's a better overall shootercuse. I think he can
do it off the dribble and create it for himself more.
And I think in the NBA he will get more
off than Con. He'll shoot more than con will. Maybe
Con shoot a higher percentage, but I think the true
would probably lean Trey. The concerns with Trey about are about,

(21:03):
you know, how much of a chucker is he?

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Can he be? Kind of?

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Can he become a five to six assist a game
guy like Booker became eventually?

Speaker 4 (21:11):
I think he can. I think that Texas team was bad.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
I think Rodney Terry was a terrible coach of Bozo,
and I think he I think he was out there
on his own and he was like, Okay, I guess
I'm gonna cook, and he cooked pretty well. He shot
like forty three, so I and they went to the playoffs.
He you know, was breaking Kevin Durant freshman scoring records.
I think Trey Johnson's a stud. I would rather VJ.
I think VJ is a rare high floor, high ceiling

(21:35):
outcome guy. I think worst case for VJ, he's going
to be a really really good defender who averages you know,
twelve to fifteen a game on offense. So I think
vj's floor is really safe and vj's ceiling is still
really high. So that's why I prefer VJ. Trey ceiling
is probably higher. Now the problem is, I do not

(21:56):
want Corey kisper In kon Konnupple. I do not want
the third Bogdanovic brother. I think he's very much a
rotation guy. Kan is safe. I have him ninth. So
when I talk about con it makes it seem like
I hate the guy. He's not an NBA player.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
YadA, YadA YadA. Corey Kispert just got like sixty million dollars.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Bogdanovich both made a bunch of money, like Duncan Robinson
at one point got like eighty million dollars. So like,
there is value in those guys usually until they get paid,
and then it's immediate and immediate overpay and there's no
value in those guys anymore. My biggest concern with con
I well, putting aside the offense, he's gonna be a
great shooter. I think there's more athletic questions than people

(22:36):
want to act like there are. And I think we've
gotten outside of like point guards, I think we've gotten
a little too obsessed with like, ooh, that guy's a
good passer. It's like, oh yeah, averages three assists instead
of one and a half assist. Its like, I get
that that's not all that means. Connective passing, you know,
you pass it to the next guy. It helps the
whole flow of the offense. But I think we're getting
a little too obsessed with connective passing and and almost

(22:59):
over in dexing against guys who try to go get
a bucket for themselves instead of you know, being unselfish
constantly and never taking the ball from himself. Because they're
on a team with Cooper Flag and Mala Looc and
all these other guys, I think he almost gets the
benefit of the doubt.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
He averaged three assists the game.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
People are acting like he's gonna be this you know,
this point forward at the NBA. I don't see that.
But putting all that aside, he's gonna be a good
offensive player. He is too slow to guard any guard
that matters, and he's too short to guard any wing
that matters. He's not gonna be able to guard any
of the top fifteen guards.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
I was just talking. He's not gonna be a little
guard the top thirty guards.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
In my opinion, he's gonna have to guard whoever the
worst guard on the floor is because he's six' four
and he's not able to go and defend the small.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Forward who's on the floor.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Either SO i have an intense amount of questions About cohn's.
Defense and the funny thing about that is con a
much better college defender Than Trey. Johnson but the thing
Is Trey johnson's sixty six the six to ten and
a half wings, span how much of his defensive shortcomings
were just him being the number one option on offense

(24:07):
who had to spend all of his energy on, offense
and then he was a little lazy on. Defense even
Though trey was a much worse defender in, College con
was defending Around, proctor who was an elite guard, defender
flag and elite.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Defender mala look at elite, defender.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
A ton of other guys on that team who could really,
defend AND i think he was able to fit into
a team defense role AND i don't see that at
the next level instead of THE acc Whereas Trey, JOHNSON
i can at least hope that the defense progresses because
of that wings. Span so all in, all my fear

(24:43):
of it being con would make it so That i'd
have a meltdown if we trade. Down the season we just,
had like you laid, out cannot end In Con kanuckle.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Being the big. Addition it has to BE. Vj edgecombe
Or Trey.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Johnson NOW i get like the value proposition if all
these guys are closely grouped together the fantasy football, brain
THE nfl draft, brain if you have all these, prospects
you have pretty much. Tied why not trade down two
or three, spots pick up some mass etson who knows
will be there in two or three.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Spots maybe you still have a pick between multiple of.
THEM i get that value.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Proposition but if You're Darryl, moury you've never ever had
a lottery pick in YOUR gm, career let alone the
third pick of the. Draft it's a two player draft
clearer in most people's, mind not in, mind not in my,
opinion but in most people's. Opinion two player, draft you
have the first pick of the rest of the.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
Draft you have your choice of the.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Litter to fall in love with, someone you'll have to
fall in love with two, guys three.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
Guys you have to fall in love with one.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
GUY i find it really hard to Believe darryl's not
gonna fall in love with one guy and pick that
guy at. Three, now maybe you could argue he's fallen
in love With kahn and he's going to trade down
one spot and still get the guy he. LOVES i
find it hard to. BELIEVE i Think vj's to pick it.
THREE i think they stick and pick.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah i'm leaning with. You as far As johnson In,
Edgecombe that's Where i'm.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
AT I.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Canipp what we talked about borderline lottery pick throughout the
course of the.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Season all of a, sudden it's.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
You, know draft, Week draft, month and he's a top five.
PICK i wasn't buying. That i'm not sure how not buying.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
It.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Now from The sixers, PERSPECTIVE.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
I think he's gonna go.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Forth, yeah it's, crazy you, know and LIKE i think
the to make it really. Easy in my, OPINION i
think that he's just going to shoot the daylights out
of the three and he's going to be making them
and and that's what the general manager that selection will
be hopeful.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
For he does feel like a fit In, charlotte, right you,
know with the whole, uh in my, Opinion but that's.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Don't they don't they phone in love With North carolina
players and duke players and anybody that's In tobacco row
right like it and can't say it's all worked. Out
maybe players from The south as a holeks. Uh they
Took Gil chris From kentucky a few years, ago you,
know yeah, Exactly so it does feel like that that
could be a pick that that would fall in line with.
Them but from the signer's, Perspective i'm with, You edgecombe

(27:11):
or Gimme. Johnson and what we talked about as far
as the shooting is, concerned really excites me From Trey.
Johnson but again tomorrow, NIGHT i am. Hopeful and you know,
what you really did call me down a little bit
BECAUSE i do believe that what you said has to
have some sort of truth behind.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
It Like Daryl, Mory, dude it's a two pick. Draft.
Boom you know who's going. One you know who's going
to you get the next. Pick you're the first.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Guy you're the one that's gonna change how this draft
shakes out. Here so go ahead and find your. Player and,
oh by the, WAY i don't, know like you know
when it comes to if this does apply To Daryl,
moray but job security, right like can he move, back
can he get?

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Assets?

Speaker 4 (27:51):
What you know?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
What, man he needs players that can go out there
and make. Plays now with, WELL i.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Actually disagree with. THAT i actually don't care about. That,
well that's the guy who has the highest ceiling for
the long.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Term but if You're Darryl moury coming off of that,
season you, know darn well he. Was he was definitely
worried With Josh. HARRIS i think that there was definitely some.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
SHOCK i don't. KNOW i actually don't.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
KNOW i think he might be more secure than we
think in that, job WHICH i actually think he should.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Be And i'm A darryl. GUY i think he's mostly
done a good.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Job there's a couple of things you can obviously point,
to but you look at drafting McCain last, year The
maxi's pick in twenty, twenty those are two better draft
picks than most gms make in ten.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Years great, picks but when it comes to sales and
satisfying your season ticket, holder which they are not doing
right now after what took place last, year that absolutely
send shockwaves through that practice facility In camden and right
up to the to the ownership.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Group so, look he Inherited, joel THOUGH i think that
that's like A, joel A joel related season that you
can all point, to and maybe they should have been
better without, Him BUT i think the organization knows enough
to know that if Once joel goes, down it's all.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
OVER i do Like, maury BUT i am thinking that
you know, what, man you know you CAN i.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Think most people are along YOUR i think most people
think he's on the hot. SEAT i Think i'm the
one on giving a hot take a little bit saying
THAT i think he's his.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Secret you never, know you never know how There Darryl
morey runs the.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Show we know. That WHAT i.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Will say one.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Hundred WHAT i will, say, though IS i Love. DARRYL
i defend. HIM i think he's mostly been. GREAT i
didn't really Want Paul. George but that's another. Conversation but
if you move back, here even if it works out
and you Get Trey, johnson there will be a part
of me that's, like this guy just looks at everything

(29:47):
as an, asset and this guy like there's no human
element to this and there's everything's, like, oh IF i
move the decimal point, HERE i have a seven point
two percent chance of winning The east instead of a
six point three.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
Percent it's been in The east over the next four
years and over the next seven.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Years like because he talks like that when he gets,
interviewed he DOES.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
I actually appreciate.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
THAT i appreciate it to a certain to a certain,
DEGREE i appreciate. That but this can't be. That this
has to be you found the, guy you went, out
you looked At, kahn you looked At, ace you looked At,
trey you looked AT, dj you looked At. Malawak you
want to throw whoever else in there, fears whoever you

(30:28):
want to, Say and you, said this is the, guy
this is the guy THAT i kind of.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Picked and this is the. Guy i'm staking My, claiman
don't be.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Cute i'm all for trading down in THE nfl, Draft
i'm all for doing in fantasy.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Football this is the third. Pick this is a rare.
Opportunity all, RIGHT a couple quick.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Ones as far AS nba is, concerned we did have
a big time trade last. Night big.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
TIME i mean it is kind of big From Drew holiday's.
PERSPECTIVE i know he's kind of at the tail end
of his. Career, still, wow what contract did he? Get
hell of an, Agent Drew. Holiday he's a great player
coming up a, title but he's still owned seventy plus
million dollars over the next two. Seasons So portland takes
him on two second round. Picks just as far As,

(31:10):
boston that's you, know our focus. Here what did they get?
Return in your? Mind you, know what does this mean
for the future of The. Celtics your big takeaway from
the deal last night was what.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
How do they keep getting away with? This it's unbelievable
they Fleece. Scotland, yeah it's a.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Joke.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
PORTLAND i don't know why you're trying to get older and.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Pretty simon's is a better Player Thanrew. Holliday he's got, flaws.
Sure over the last four, years he's averaged seventeen point,
three twenty one point, one twenty two point six and
nineteen point, three about four to six assists per. Game and,
Wait boston got the picks For portland to take The drew.
Contract it makes no. Sense Mike kyoto great follow On.

(31:54):
TWITTER i feel LIKE i reference him all the time
on these airwaves AND i. Don't by the, way it's
funny THAT i referenced. Him he's not a fan of,
mine AND i know that for.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Effect that's. Funny. Fact what good?

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Tweet good tweet of His he, said how we feel
about The celtics must be How cowboys fans feel about The.
Eagles every time there's a signing or a trade or
a draft, pick it's.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Like how did this? Happen how did this work out for?

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Them and that's HOW i feel right now About boston
picking up a young asset while cutting costs and getting
picks back in. Return there's, seconds but you can, eventually you,
know five seconds ended up being a part of That
Kevin durant, trade which was also. Travesty but, YEAH I,
BOSTON i got absolutely they Fleeced.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Portland all.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Right, Well sham said a couple of weeks ago on
the McAfee.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
SHOW i believe it was, actually you, know midway through
the playoffs that this was going to be potentially the
craziest offseason ever as far as trades and movement in THE.
NBA i Know cow heard the show before. Me he
took you, know he didn't agree with it at. ALL
i remember he is very passionate about his take with
the state of THE nba free agency being done blah

(33:04):
blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Blah but here we.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Are the offseason literally just started two three nights. Ago
sunday night was the, End so two, nights two days,
ago and we've had a couple of trades to deal.
With we're rolling right into THE Nba, draft which is
probably gonna bring on some more. Trades we just had
the one that broke as we went live here with
The New Orleans, pelicans and That's Jordan poole. Season Jordan

(33:26):
poole And Zion. Williamson does that move the?

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Needle?

Speaker 4 (33:30):
NOW i kind of hate that for The.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
PELICANS i season com doesn't have any value and also
was THE cba president for the WORST cba that's ever
been negotiated in any.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Sport SO i think everybody in the sport hates. Them BUT.
CJ i can't.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Imagine you couldn't have flipped that salary for a. Salary
that's what Does Jordan poole have left on his? Contract
i'm trying to maybe, there maybe he has less. Time
i'm trying to figure out, Here.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Jordan, poole current contract for your one twenty eight you
signed in twenty.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Two so, yeah he's got two years, left And drew
has AND cj. Has this is bad.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
RADIO i, apologize but, OH, CJ i think has the
same amount of years.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Left really, well that's a hell of a deal too FOR.
Cj McCollum.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Man.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Crazy, Well i'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
What we will be talking a little bit About Players
association reps with what just, Say, no.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Mcclumn is one one year. Deal, okay so this is
the last year for. Mccolumn, SEE i double hate.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
That for The.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
Pelicans you had a year With Jordan, poole you gave
up the fortieth.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Pick.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
YEAH i don't get that for either team, Really BUT
i get it more for The wizards just to get
like professional basketball, players to maybe change the, CULTURE i.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Guess but, YEAH i don't. That that doesn't make a
lot of sense For New orleans and.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
The pelicans bringing a NEW gm.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Too Joe dumars THE gm for years In.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Detroit, Correct, yeah, yeah how about?

Speaker 1 (34:55):
That all, RIGHT Nba draft, Conversation just throw it out
there in the time. Mind if the seventy six ers
decide to move, back what will be your immediate? Reaction
and again everybody has the same, Thing well what did
they get in? Return? YEAH i hear, you and and
yes you are one hundred percent. Correct but for the
people that really don't pay attention and don't care about
the assets and of course the the what's in, return

(35:18):
just focus on the big, picture and that is this
is a disaster of a team last. Year this is you,
know your ultimate prize for what took. Place go out
there and get a damn player that can help.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
YOU i know.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
That Mark Henry junior is somewhat AND i disagree about
helping on the, now BUT i do feel like and.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Quickly on this. One what is does the deal With
Quinton grimes change?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Anything do you are you affected by any of these
new contracts or potentially a new player come in and
would that have an impact to you or an effect
undrafting said player at three.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Or moving back or or you want of these.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Guys Because i'm the same way Where i'm, like, dude
just get me, players get me ball. Players we just
looked at The, Pacers we looked at the old The City,
thunder how deep they.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Were you have to have.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Depth go out there and find. PLAYERS i never Thought
jared McCain would be as good as he was in year.
One great player. There so go out there and draft
somebody with three and if you bring Back Quinton, GRINDSERS
i hope you.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Do that's. That'sact, yeah it's an even bigger you, know.
Bonus you just can't Lose.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Grimes because you just can't lose an asset for. Free
you have so few.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Assets if you get him for, ten, fifteen twenty, MILLION
i don't care what it. Is it's a tradable, Contract
so you put that with The clippers pick at the
deadline if you are, competitive and maybe that gets to
the wing that you, needed or maybe you can flip
him To houston in assigning trade for a guy Like
tarzan Or Cam whitmore that can play the wing for

(36:42):
us instead Of grinds playing the.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Guard but you. Can't you just can't not pay him
because you can't lose the asset for.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Free But i'm also not Letting Quinton grimes determine what
pick we make.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Now WHAT i would say IS i was kind.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Of worried about the logjam of, guards and it was
kind of my point of Why bailey was.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
The perfect pick a third.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Overall but we're moved past that now and it seems
like the only options are. Guards so unless you want
to Say, malawac Which i'm down With. MALAWAC i Like
malawauch more than. MOST i have him sixth, Overall i'm
based On todd The Tray. Johnson don't really think there's
been a lot of buzz connecting us To, malawac AND
i feel LIKE i don't think they're gonna want to

(37:22):
send that message To, joel even IF i think that's maybe.
Dumb if he's the right, PICK i think he should
be the right pick BECAUSE i think he's the pick
for the, future end the, Now, like If joel's, playing
you're still going to have twenty games where he's, out
and you're still going to have potentially games where he
misses in the, playoffs and then you have a guy

(37:42):
to step right in there and it's kind of what
we've never. Had or If, joel you, know is done
and now we have a. Center so either, WAY i
think either, timeline The joel is here timeline or The
joel is basically you, know imaginary. Timeline THEN i Think
malawoch fits, either but seems like they're, not and it

(38:04):
seems like in general he's falling to the back end
of the top.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
TEN i was high in him throughout the course of the.
Tournament then what do you have a bad championship game.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Right where everybody rebounds Against, yeah so that that's when
everybody was like, brace you, know take it, easy And i'm,
like all, right MAYBE i was a little over the
top on, them BUT i THINK i put it also
THAT i agree. With but it also comes down to
the fact that the sixers are picking third. Overall they're
picking third. OVERALL i don't have to worry about guys nine, eight, nine, ten.

(38:32):
Eleven The sixers are picking third, overall AND i didn't
want him at, three so THEREFORE i haven't talked about.
Him but now who the hell knows what's true and
what's really what's now we will hit.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
On it rumor real.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Quick from, rumor for from a little, birdie for the
big five shirks out, there the sheer, fleming maybe falling
really far in the, draft maybe not handling the interview process.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Greatly h.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Mummers tweet and, uh The sixers do have the thirty fifth,
pick so maybe you move up a little.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
BIT a certain guy like that starts.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Falling he's eleventh on my, board and apparently he's now
kind of maybe a fringe first.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Rounder fourteen point seven For Saint joe's last. Season so

Baseball And i'll never forget hearing that they were making
a movie based on the, book AND i just.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
Remember being, like that book is so number. Heavy look

numbers talking about a lot of specific players. Undervalue like
it's an incredible, book BUT i was, like how the
hell are they gonna make this like an interesting? Movie
LIKE i didn't understand how that could possibly be an interesting.
Movie And i'll never forget the first TIME i saw,
it the way that it, shot the score and the

(42:57):
soundtrack of the, movie the way it's written by it's
Very sorkin, esque where no one actually talks like that

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Movie not my Favorite leo, performance BUT i think it's
the iconic one that people will. Remember rewatchables calls it
The Apex. MOUNTAIN i think that was His Apex. MOUNTAIN

his peak in that, era and even right after did
the rev and went on to Win Best actor.

And a couple other.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
Movies but that's number nine for. Me number Eight Knives,
Out Knives. Out at number, Eight Love Knives. Out they
did not live up to that with the, Sequel number,
Seven The Nice. Guys this is probably the movie that
the least people have.

gosling performance of all, time but followed right by number.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
Six La La land never seen it, WELL.

Speaker 3 (46:42):

going car to.

Speaker 4 (46:54):

know twenty five.

being Like leo's actually the one who acted his butt
off in that. Movie number Four sinners just came.

Lapses so big deal For Ryan. Kugler one of my favorite.
Directors number three and back to Back fincher. Movies here
The Social network at number. THREE i think it's best
movie of the twenty, tens best movie of that. Decade
Jesse eisenberg one of the best performances short.

he makes people do one hundred takes to.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Pick up a piece of paper and write something. Down.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Uh he got like the perfect cast for that movie
to buy. In eisenberg was fresh faced and. New he
was looking for his break as a big. Star timberlake
wanted to prove he was an actor and not a singer.
