(00:32):

Julian ed Love from DraftKings Sportsbook joins us right now
on this beautiful afternoon here in the Delaware Valley. Julia,
great to have you, sir, A lot to discuss, of course,
NBA Finals Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
As I said, Game six tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
But I want to open up with this because you
texted me a little earlier and we haven't hit on
it too. It is a situation that has take place
right now with a gentleman by the name of Ace Bailey,
and people are like, who ell is Ace Bailey? Well,
you haven't been paying attention to college basketball, and of
course you don't know the NBA Draft, which, oh, by
the way, is one week away today.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
This start next Dursday, six days. It was six days
moved on. This is a two day event now, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So Julian text me and says, uh, NBA draft number
three pick movement opened Ace Bailey at minus one twenty
currently at plus three point thirty.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
The hell is going on with this guy right now?
Ace Bailey?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Julian edlow and do you think, uh my man is
talking himself out of potentially a top five pick, top ten?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
What is going on with Ace Bailey?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah? I mean I wouldn't say I'm as plugged in
NBA draft wise as I have been in years past,
but this one. You know, if there was an Ace
Bailey over under on the board, which there is not,
I wish there were, I would be looking over and
it would have opened three and a half and it
would be much higher than that now four and a half,
five and half. It seems like Ace Bailey is a
(02:05):
super talented player that hasn't done anything over the past
year to really help himself off the court. You know,
I heard his manager was looking to charge fees for
interviews while he was in college. You know, he's dipping
(02:25):
out of the workout with the Sixers now and three
is his ceiling in the draft. You should want to
work out for that team. I know everybody kind of
lies about their height to a degree, but he was
listed at six' ten in college and then measured in
at six seven and a.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Half that's.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Impressive that's, yeah you're really trying to turn yourself from.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Like SIX i don't, know like you, Know Paul george
type of range Into Kevin durant type of, range just height,
wise but skill, Wise like this is a this is
a you, know not even TO i know things didn't
go well With Paul george for you guys In philly last,
year but just like next.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Year is a different, Year, julian next year's it every. Year,
yeah keep telling yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
As bailey is like A Paul george type of, prospect
like that's his his game kind Of, uh he definitely
needs to expand his, versatility but as a, scorer he's
a he's a tough shot, maker he elevates over the
top like he he's probably the third best prospect in this.
Draft so the fact that he's not going third anymore
and sliding to, four, five, six, seven eight nine ten
(03:34):
in mock drafts shows that there's some some stuff going
on off the court AND. Vj, edgecomb WHO i do
like a lot and is a much more safe. PICK
i would, say you, know opened plus one forty to
be the third. Pick he's now minus one seventy and
forty two percent of the money On DraftKings sportsbook is ON.
(03:58):
Vj edgecomb to that number three. Pick Whether philly's making
it or.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Not sim just quickly on the pre draft, cycle he's
not working out for, Everybody, like what is it just sixers?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Related what is the deal? Here he's not working out for. Anybody?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Why that's a great. Question that's what people are trying
to figure. Out apparently he wanted a promise from some.
Teams that's not how this. Works he's not getting a.
PROMISE i don't know. EXACTLY i will say with a sixer,
Situation Daryl moury went to Many rutgers games this, year
like more than Two rutgers games this, Year Daryl, mourray
so he scouted him in. Person he's very familiar With Aast.
(04:31):
Bailey they did interview him at The, conbine so it's
not like they've never talked to. Him you'd rather get
him in your, facility you can work out, himself take
him out to, dinner all the stuff that they had
scheduled for today and. Tomorrow but it's not Like Daryl
morriy is not familiar With Aast. Bailey he's very familiar with.
Him and Like julian, said the second that this pick
was announced That sixers had it at, THREE i tweeted
(04:52):
Veg edgecomb is the guy they should not be drafting As,
bailey AND i felt like that's more of A Daryl
mory pick, too to go With edgecombe Over Aast. Bailey
and there are many Reasons i'm not a fan Of Ace,
bailey shot, selection in, efficiency just a lot of that
doesn't translate for what The sixers need, immediately which is
a win now. Player SO i was under the impression
this would be Vg edgecomb as, is but it seems
like Ah bailey isn't doing himself any.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Favors do you think he's completely off the Board do
you think THERE'S i don't think he's completely off the.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
BOARD i still think it's a consideration Because darren moriy
has done those prior, scouts they don't need him in
for a. Visit and, look The sixers also didn't have
a workout in house With Tyre smaxy Or jared, McCain
two picks that were obviously much later in the first,
round but two picks That Darrel morey, nailed so he.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Doesn't need to see him in house.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
NECESSARILY i always thought Vg edgecumbe was ahead on the sixers,
board ahead of base excuse, me ahead Of Ace. BAILEY
i still think it's that, Way SO i don't think
this's changed that. Much but it's not just a sixers.
Thing now we're looking at how far Is Ace bailey
gonna fall because he won't work out for. Anybody and
the name that comes to mind for me is, like
this is kind of could be A Sair Door sanders
situation where a lot of the same stuff where it's
(05:53):
like this guy was Shud Door sanders more like tanking
interviews or reports the reports were at the, time but
it's where you could see that free fall.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Happen all, Right, julian before we get into game six,
tonight anything else from THE nba draft grabbing your, attention odds,
movement anything That DraftKings has up right.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Now and then your Boy brian scalabriny.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
MAN i know he's you, know he's got a spot
and Everybody's boston sportsman's hard up. There but he Said
Cooper flag if he had to go with the non
white guy comparison With.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Lebron, James, like what are we doing right?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Now?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Unbelievable, yeah that's.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Aggressive love Why leonard For Cooper? FLAG i like the.
VERSATILITY i don't have a good comp For Cooper. FLAG i,
mean we'll see what he. IS i think HE'S i
think he's a little bit, overrated but he is. Unique
like he.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Overrated in what?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Sense like you don't think he's gonna be this generational, process.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That second best prospect of the last however many years
behind Behind Wembin. YAMA i don't think he, Know.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah he's.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Good he's the clear cut number one pick would you rather?
HAVE i don't know how if people have seen enough
of like Aj Dia, bansa who's going to be number
one in next year's, draft who's originally from The boston
area and then played high school out In utah and
he's got the big N i l deal at by.
YOU i haven't seen enough of him to, Know but
LIKE i, like next year we could be talking about
(07:23):
another player in the same, Light like it just we're
always hyping up the next. GUY i Think cooper flags.
Good we'll see if he can be.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Great you, know if you were to, predict do you
think in five years will be a Perennial ALL nba?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Guy?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Premium he should be an all he should be An All.
Star ALL nba is better than An All star by
like ten players or. So, yeah So i'll commit to
all start.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
An All star, too, man all N B. A that's,
well that's what people are. Expecting he's got a row
to get to that. Level he. Will he's, young he's what? Nineteen,
Yeah i'm saying five, Years.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I'll commit to all.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Stars i'll take. That i'll take odds on that that he's.
NOT i think he's a great player AND i love them.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Obviously you know who.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Didn't but anything else in THE nba draft grabbing your
attention from odds though joining one week?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Out, well markets are on and off the. Board At Drafting,
SPORTSBOOK i will, Say Drafting sportsbook is what you. Know
everybody's got first, pick second pick through like top five picks.
Up there's some top ten. Markets Drafting sportsbook is well
beyond any other book right now in terms of. OFFERINGS
i think some of these just went down in terms
of draft positions and who's drafted, first but that we've
(08:41):
had them up and they'll be back. Up this one
might have moved after the last day or, two but
LAST i, LOOKED. Vj edgecombe was minus one sixty five
just to be taken ahead Of Ace. Bailey doesn't matter what.
Pick Just edgecomb ahead Of bailey was minus one sixty.
Five that intrigues me if it's still under two hundred
AND i did Bet, malawatch the big center From duke
(09:03):
seven to two. Freshman he's From South. Sudan he only
played like half the. Game he played about twenty one
minutes per, game eight, points six, rebounds block and a.
Half he shot seventy two percent from the. Field he
was almost eighty percent from the, line WHICH i think
is the key. Here people like these bigs to have.
Touch he didn't shoot threes in. College but can you
develop that player like look at the jump shot That
(09:24):
Joel embiid developed as that raw prospect like, This if
they can stretch out his jump shot with the game
that he, HAS i think a lot of teams are
going to be. Interested his draft prop was eight and
a HALF i wrote up an article minus won twenty
to under eight and a. Half anywhere from three to
eight should be realistically in his. RANGE i don't think
(09:45):
The sixers necessarily take him With embid on the, roster
but is there a? Trade three to eight is much
more likely for malawatch than slipping to nine or. BEYOND
i think.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All, right you could get all Of julian's great content
AT dk net work dot. Com check out everybody over
there At, DraftKings including our Own Sean, bernard WHICH i
saw he had an article on THE nba draft If
i'm not mistaken earlier.

Good mock draft for, us AND i Think sean's working

Really sean and. Myself, yeah we're gonna talk to the
shop with The gove maybe pick a winner on Draftings.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Sports you must have heard that hit that we did
about that's it That shawn didn't didn't give us a
support like us he, Did, Hi, julian let's get out
over To game.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Six here we go. Tonight simple. Question we're going back
to okayse For game?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Seven probably? Not, yeah but that doesn't MEAN i wouldn't
take the points with within the you, know look at
you because just because okay see covered the last game
on the road to now be one and eight on the. Road,
ats it took like the worst minute Of finals basketball
we've seen From Ben matherin to tank that, game not
(11:42):
from just losing, it but to not covering.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
UH i think a little bit of this. GAME i
think of My celtics last, year who dominated The mavericks
in that series as a, whole but when they had
a chance to close it out on the, road they
played neck and neck for about six minutes and then
got mopped by The mavericks for forty two. MINUTES i
don't know if you remember that. Game it's the most
forgettable part of The. Finals they lost by like forty
(12:07):
to The mavericks In game, four dominated the rest of the.
SERIES i could, See, okay see this young team chance
to close out on the, road tightening up a little.
BIT i would love him in A game. SEVEN i
would love him early first, quarter first half in A
game seven If indy were to win this. Game BUT
(12:28):
i don't know if okayc can just go on the
road with or Without aliburton and win this game with.
Margin so not playing the side of the, total BUT
i would look AT i would look At, indy.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Are you playing anything this?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Evening?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
YEAH i am gonna go to the props BECAUSE i
Think haliburton gives it a. GO i don't think he's
gonna be. Himself he saw him play thirty two minutes
and go. Scoreless this is an. Injury he would clearly
be sitting out. With i'm not telling you he's gonna
go scoreless, tonight BUT i don't think he can be
as much of a. Factor AND i think if he you,
know him being on the floor over like A. Tj
(13:05):
McConnell arguably Cost indy a chance at that. Game they
probably would have lost. Anyway BUT i think you've got
to get more, guys your, matherins your mcconnald's on the
floor for some minutes For haliburton here if he doesn't
come out and look, himself And i'm not expecting him
to so Without aliburton in the MIX i, Did i'm
all just some little same game parlays, tonight to be,
(13:26):
honest which usually is in my. Style but McConnell ten,
points ten plus, points three plus assists with tie in
A haliburton under SO i went under thirteen and a half,
points you could go under twenty five and a half
points rebounds. Assists, obviously that's super. Correlated McConnell getting minutes
(13:49):
or production over Hobbled. Aliburton that ties. Together so you,
KNOW i did the ten points three assists for McConnell
With halliburton UNDER i think it was fourteen and a
half points at the, time now it's thirteen and a.
Half that was plus two, twenty SO i don't mind
that that ties together. Well and then Scam seacam is,
(14:12):
like okay see has every advantage on the. Floor the
only mismatching he has all series seems to Be. Siakham
he's averaging over twenty, points close to eight, rebounds over four,
assists two, steals a block and a. Half like he's
the only guy that kind of gives Okay see problems
they don't have an answer. For So sakham twenty plus
points with six plus. Rebounds he's gone for twenty plus
(14:34):
in the last three. Games he's got six and more
rebounds in every game of the. Series siakam twenty and
six was plus money last guy. Looked so that'll be
my prop.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
THERE i like the, angle love the, angle love THE.
Tj McConnell. Stuff it's funny yesterday he had the same
odds to win THE Nba FINALS mvp as chet holmger
and something THAT i never would have dreamed would have
been the. Case clearly his faith isn't you. Know, yeah
he's faded off the board in the last twenty four,
hours but still we are now back up to fourteen
(15:03):
and a half For Tyrese haliburt and as far as
no take that, back, sorry thirteen and a half right
here minus one five he's averaged eighteen and a. Half
he went over three. Straight of, course what took place
in game. FIVE i love that thought. Process so here we,
are and that's gonna be something that we will learn
pretty pretty, early RIGHT i would imagine we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
See what he has in the.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Tank and you, know fourteen and a half is a
number day he could get, to or fourteen is a
number they could get. To BUT i DO i like
where you're going with targeting him as far as the
injury is. Concerned let's talk a little bit about From
okac's perspective here And Jalen williams what he did in
the previous game.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Forty you, Know sam AND i were.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Talking he did a great article ever to score where
he was making the reference To boston last, year and
he pointed out last year That Jalen brown Or Jason
tatum led, points rebounds and assistant still lost THAT mvp.
Award two parts on jailing here for your mind. Here
first of, all twenty three and a. Half do you
think he backs that up performance and goes over this?
(16:01):
Number sales over this number has had great, finals just LIKE.
Sga and do you think that THE Mvp award is
remotely up for grabs or is it slam Duncan SGA's.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Favor.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
YEAH i have less of a feel FOR okc, tonight
BUT i do, have and this is just a feeling
rather than anything with numbers to back. IT i have
a feeling that we could see and it was a
different series at at three, nothing but that we could
SEE okac look a little bit Like boston on the
road with a chance to close it out last, year
(16:34):
clearly the better, team but just not necessarily ready for
the moment against a completely desperate. Team SO i don't
want to play ANY okc overs in case they just
don't look. Right that, said the role players for OK
see have been awesome at home and not great on the,
road besides maybe a game From. Caruso so it's gonna
be the stars carrying. Them if you made me play. Something,
(16:57):
okay see, related it's Probably Jalen williams points. OVER i
THINK sga should have a pretty good game and we'll
see if they get enough from other guys to close this.
OUT mvp, wise it's probably gonna BE. SGA a lot
of people are making the, argument, like you, know LAST
(17:17):
i looked at WAS sga minus five to, fifty but
thunder series minus two thousand of just, oh you got
to take that discount and lay you, know if you're
somebody with the type of bankroll to lay big, numbers
lay a five fifty WITH, sga and you're getting you,
know a quarter of the price on the finals winner
there because it is slam DUNK. SGA i don't know
if it's slam dunk Like tatum was pretty. Good he
(17:40):
wasn't totally, himself but he was pretty good in The
East finals and in THE Nba finals When Jalen brown
was just a little bit. Better so we just saw
that voters have the ability to go the other way
on some of these. Things Even i'll go, back like
a lot of people thought when The celtics lost that
seven game series to The heat when they were down
(18:00):
three nothing and then Lost game seven at, HOME a
lot of people Thought Caleb martin should have been THE.
Mvp it Was Jimmy. BUTLER i agree it should have
Been Jimmy, butler but the voting was five to. Four
it was Five butler Four Caleb. Martin so, again that's
an even more extreme example of voters not being afraid
to kind of go off the path a little bit
and a lot of like we just saw it in.
(18:22):
Hockey you, SAID i tak hockey off the. TOP i,
don't But i'm gonna make one. Comparison THE mvp was
some of the whatever. Constant, yes it's for the whole,
playoffs so, different totally different comedy that was kind of
up in the air in the last, one and then
the dude has four goals right in the, clincher so, it's,
oh we go his. Ray it's, like, well IF sga
(18:42):
has forty tonight or In game seven and they, win it's.
Him what if It's Jalen williams that gets forty again
in the, clincher that's really gonna leave an. Impression So
i'm not telling you to go bet plus seven fifty
On Jalen, williams But i'm open to the idea that
for the first time since the series, started it's not
almost matching prices FOR Okc SERIES.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Sga and another reference too Is Tyr's haliburn In Pascal
siakam last series Where Tyre's halliburn was walking up to
the podium because he AND i would have if you asked,
me a hundred tis out one, HUNDRED i, Said Tyrys
haliburn is THE mvp of the. SERIES i don't know
how you watch that series and came away with a different,
conclusion but five of the nine voters did. So obviously
(19:25):
it's split And i'm with you WHERE i made the
case For Jane, WILLIMS i don't think he should make.
IT i made the case of why he might make
it based on voters and, FINALS mvp voters. HISTORY i
just don't think that If Jalen williams has an awesome game,
tonight like he has another forty, ball even a thirty five,
ball and Like shay has another thirty, piece but he's
a little more under the, radar It's Jalen williams. SHOW
(19:48):
i Think Jaylen willims is gonna win, it assuming The thunder.
Win it's it's a clinching game. TONIGHT i Think Jalen
willims has a good chance of winning THE. Mvp so
a plus of price of plus six, HUNDRED i think
you take.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That oh it's down to six. Hundred, YEAH i haven't
looked at it. Today it was seven fifty yesterday and.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
It opened at forty to. One julian to start the
series At Jalen. Williams does he have forty to?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
ONE i don't have the opener in front of.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Him this is crazy the thing?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Right? WOW i MEAN sga essentially matched the series. Price, yeah.
Unbelieva that makes everybody else a long shot unless you're Going.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Indy. Yep all, Right.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Julian, edlough fantastic follow all over. Everything AS i, said
all one, word full Name Juliana edlow and, uh he's
got some interesting odds as far AS nba draft is,
concerned of, course With benedict matherin some numbers a courtesy
Of Draftings, sportsbook trust me going to tell you give
him a follow and be sure to check out everything
over THAT dk. Network let's keep it, moving and you,
(20:45):
Know i'm just gonna dip my toes into the football
water just a little bit. There but again with THE
Nba finals going off this. Evening, uh front and CENTER
nba in our, minds and we were talking about, this
And i'm just curious if you have a take on
the fact that The lakers were just sold for ten billion.
Dollars And i'm not gonna ask you about, that but
we stumbled into a conversation just previous before you AND
(21:08):
i was wondering whether or not like we should be
reading a little bit more into the fact, that Like Mark,
cuban WHICH i thought he'd be associated with The mavericks,
forever he's out now the bus.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Family, sorry we're.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Out you got these contracts that are, changing like we
constantly are changing right, now the way we consume sports
with streaming and. Everything big picture, QUESTION i just want
to know what your thoughts. Are, uh do you think
THE nba not in? Trouble by, no, man they're not
saying they're in. Trouble BUT i don't. THINK i think
this is The Promised. LAND i don't think you could
(21:40):
ever go up from. Here and that's not the. Same
they're gonna take a huge. Dip but last year we
talked about The. Celtics it's a pretty good. Team The
Boston celtics entertaining ratings weren't all that good this.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Year we know. It blah blah. Blah im not gonna
get into the.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
RATINGS i just, wonder you, know like maybe we should
be looking at THE nba the product sports as, Whole, like,
YEAH i think we might be seeing things change a
little bit over these next few.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
YEARS i don't. Know would that make this a two
part of Jewl go right?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Ahead are you like some Other celtics FANS i see
on the timeline where you're pissed of The celtics were
sold last year for six billion and The lakers were
sold for ten? Billion or are you not as salty
as some of those other.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Guys, no that doesn't make me pissed. OFF i would
say The celtics are worth more than sixty percent of The.
LAKERS i think that's fair to. Say now you know
That luca trade now has to be worth how much?
MONEY i don't Even i'm not smart enough to be
(22:37):
in this stratosphere of dollars and figure out how much
that was. Worth but, like is it eight before The luca?
TRADE i don't, know but YEAH i Would i'm not
bitter about. It but if you ask, me, like you,
know would are The celtics worth sixty percent of The
lakers over? UNDER i would go. Over in terms of the,
(23:01):
LEAGUE i know the league isn't in. Trouble they have
so much. Money everything's gonna keep going. Up you said
it's hit its. Peak it has to keep going up
if people are gonna smart, business people are going to
keep buying these teams for this much LIKE i don't.
KNOW i didn't think the McDonald's dollar menu was ever
going to be. Gone now everything on it's like four.
(23:21):
Bucks there's our common man's. Right The lakers gotta you,
know they gotta be worth. More of The celtics gotta
be worth. More i'll say, this you want a, bargain
bin A rod And laurie just bought UH A rod
just bought the T wolves for like one point five.
(23:42):
Billion how long ago was.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
That that's crazy to think.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
About that was like a couple of years. Ago that's
a great. Deal IF i had one point five, billion
that's What i'd be doing buying The timberwolves when all
these other teams are going for six to. Ten so,
YEAH i Don't it can't be a bad thing for the, league,
though it's it's gonna keep, going all, right.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And then finally a quick question on this and teach
their Own LIKE i get so bogged down AND i
get it's a me. THING i get caught up and it's, like,
ah LIKE i don't want to Like i'll.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Tune into THE. WNBA i used to watch. IT i.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
DID i did even Before Caitlin. Clark and how's A
Kelsey plumb? Fan and you know, Whatever now there's all
this other. Stuff But i'm from curious from the betting,
perspective are you hearing from people that follow this, stuff
that wager on it that there is a little bit
of a an edge to be made as far as
wagering on THE wnba or people making money on THE
wnba anything there as far as wagering on that league.
(24:36):
Itself or is it just basically all the money that
comes in it's On Caitlin. Clark and you, know you
get a lot Of johnny fans out there that are
just firing on anything cait And clark positive.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Numbers it's both now because of the new crowd That
Caitlyn clark has brought, in it's always going to Be
Caitlyn clark one of the most bet props of the,
night and That Caitlin clark over money is always going
to be. There BUT i still think there is a
little bit of an edge TO, wnba And i'm not
quite as into it AS i will be maybe In
july And. August WHAT i think the end that the
(25:08):
W nba still has is a hint of predictability that
THE nba used to have and now doesn't with These
pacers And heat teams And mavericks teams last year that make.
Runs THE nba used to be pretty. Predictable when you
know twenty years twenty five years, Ago Lakers, sixers you,
(25:31):
know knock yourself out In, Philly but we knew who
was gonna win that series minus two Thousand lakers price
on that series In vegas at the. Time LIKE i
feel like we knew a lot of the. Out we
knew The spurs we're gonna Beat Lebron's calves the first
time we got. There like we knew The warriors were
gonna beat The calves and those Last durant. Teams that's
(25:52):
really the end of, It like when The raptors beat The.
Warriors since, then that's been a new champion every. Year
and there's been new surprise. TEAMS i think that element
is a little bit that has not occurred yet in THE,
wnba and you can short, answers bet a little bit more,
chalk put a couple favorites together on a parlay or
(26:13):
bet a bad, spot and you're gonna win more often
than you would right now in THE.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Nba.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Interesting i'm glad we got into that discussion. THERE i
just get your take on, it because, look, Tonight Caitlin
clark's in.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Action i'll have to tune in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
HERE a twenty two plus as far as her points
are concerned On DraftKings sportsbook over twenty one and a
half and even. Money come, on she's got that in the.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Bank, no, probably she's been.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
GOOD i mean she looked great when she came back
that first game from. Injury i'm just pulling up our email.
Here let's, SEE i got nothing in the email on.
THAT i will get you ON dk. Network you can
look this up on your own most bet player. Props
i'm on the tool right. Now let's see If Caitlyn
clark is the most bet. Player of course she. Is
(26:59):
Caitlin clark twenty plus at minus one seventy is the
most bet.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Prop.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Wow third most bet Prop Caitlyn clark to score the
first points of the game plus four Fifty, fourth most
bet Prop Caitlyn clark over eight and a half assists
minus one thirty. Five fifth most pet Prop Caitlyn clark
double double even. Money, six most bet Prop Caitlyn clark
three plus made threes at minus two to twenty. Five
that's gonna be in. Parlays clark has three more props
(27:28):
all in the top. Ten so there's your answer about
the handle That Caitlyn clark is carrying into these.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Games, yeah we're talking ratings there day as. Offten we you,
know jab at. Them, like all you gotta do is
just Put Kaitlin clark in the front row and Have
Taylor swift up in the suites and you're good to. Go,

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Awesome there he is once, Again Julian needlo on The
Gambler hotline Slash. Stream fantastic job across the. Board be
sure to follow him on. Everything there Is caitlin a
top three player in the W.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It's what she's AN Mvp. Canada Cousin, nikki Cousin, Nick
is that a?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Question, yeah well he said she's not better Than Wilson
Asia wilsons, correct as is no. Joke all, right that's
one did the other girl THAT'S i can't even get
into him because flex her knowledge, was like you.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Said it.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Incredible she's Worth let's look at THE mvp market right.
Now she's worth all the.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
ATTENTION i get it and then, some but it's crazy to,
me like you, know the people, again it's the same
stuff that we.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Dealt with last. Year first of, all it's the time of,
year so everyone's.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Knowing everyone knows that just bringing her name up and
getting into those inciniary conversations are only going to fetch
eyeballs and ears, Right so it doesn't feel like people
are genuine with the.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Conversation that's. One that's WHY i just want no part of.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
It but when you talk about, superstars which we do
constantly in THE, nba, Yep Kaylyn clark is a bona
fide superstar.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Sports no to forget THE.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Nba she transcends her, sport no, doubt and really transcends
sports as a.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Whole like my, mom my grandparents would know WHO. Kailn clark.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Is everybody knows Who Kayton clark. Is she transcends. Sports
she's the ultimate. Superstar and it's amazing because she doesn't
even market herself that. Well she's a commercial state farm
shoe deals With nike all, that but she's not putting
herself out there on the podium and on the microphone
like that. Constantly but she is a, superstar And i'm
polarizing figure for whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Reason all, Right oh, look we got a lot of
people checking in.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Here she's roy our video streams went, down BUT i
think we're still. Live she's not better Than.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Collier, Well collier is a FAVORITE mvpa two eighty, five
and Then Kevin clark is the second favorite at plus
two thirty And Aga wilson plus seventy five, hundred all,
right and Then Breonna stewart she's also plus seventy five.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Hundred, Stu, Yeah stuwe there you. Go which they gotta go? Fight?
OH i, know is this gonna? Fight they were bro
and that those two. Teams but that Was Brionna stewart's. Team. Correct,
oh but she wasn't in the.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Fight ALL i know is this people were, like, oh
you can't Have, no you can have.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
It that's a good. Thing that's a good.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Thing and you and you, know you often you think
about what THE nba was in the ninety slash, Eighties
and not to say that That jordan elevated the, league we,
know hands, down but there was bird In magic before.
That like you, know there were great players that helped.
It but The pistons with the bad, boys of, course
you had to earn your keep, there, right they were.
(30:49):
Bruisers the league's going through that right, now AND i
think that it's only going to be beneficial in the long. Run,
AGAIN i don't want anyone get. Hurt but like LIKE i,
said the big picture to, me sorry to be all,
overplace is the same conversations we're having right now are
the same things we had last, year like where people
don't know how to react to this, stuff, like.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Dude giuse the.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Girls you gotta be nice to, Know, Dude they're out
there compete and running their yaps at each other and
tempers are gonna.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Fly who?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Cares and everyone's saying that the W nba officiating is
so bad because they don't throw those people out when
they initiate these. Fights and you're, sure theoretically there should
be discipline for those, people but on the flip, side
when you don't throw those people, out you have moments
like happen at the end of that That Fever sun
game where there was a really hard foul That Sophie
(31:37):
cunningham took on the girl that actually is, hard really,
Hard Caitlyn. CLARK i, mean for it was a transition
shot with forty six seconds left and transitional, lamp and.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
She she it was a really Hard, yeah that would
even be a hard. Foul that wouldn't be a hard.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Fouling but the point is that everyone's, like, oh the
W a doesn't know how to handle this, stuff and they.
Should those guys should be thrown out earlier to avoid situations.
Later those situations later create viral. Moments, yeah viral moments
actually help your league and help broadcast your league.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
On a larger.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Scale so, yeah you don't want violence and, fights, no
but it also helps a little.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
BIT i agree with.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
That and If i'm sure you get the little truth
serum over, there get a beard in front of the
commissioner of.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
THE, wnba they would absolutely admit to.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That, so LIKE i, SAID i texted the group, chat BUT,

Julian ed Love from DraftKings Sportsbook joins us right now
on this beautiful afternoon here in the Delaware Valley. Julia,
great to have you, sir, A lot to discuss, of course,
NBA Finals Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
As I said, Game six tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
But I want to open up with this because you
texted me a little earlier and we haven't hit on
it too. It is a situation that has take place
right now with a gentleman by the name of Ace Bailey,
and people are like, who ell is Ace Bailey? Well,
you haven't been paying attention to college basketball, and of
course you don't know the NBA Draft, which, oh, by
the way, is one week away today.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
This start next Dursday, six days. It was six days
moved on. This is a two day event now, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So Julian text me and says, uh, NBA draft number
three pick movement opened Ace Bailey at minus one twenty
currently at plus three point thirty.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
The hell is going on with this guy right now?
Ace Bailey?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Julian edlow and do you think, uh my man is
talking himself out of potentially a top five pick, top ten?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
What is going on with Ace Bailey?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah? I mean I wouldn't say I'm as plugged in
NBA draft wise as I have been in years past,
but this one. You know, if there was an Ace
Bailey over under on the board, which there is not,
I wish there were, I would be looking over and
it would have opened three and a half and it
would be much higher than that now four and a half,
five and half. It seems like Ace Bailey is a
(02:05):
super talented player that hasn't done anything over the past
year to really help himself off the court. You know,
I heard his manager was looking to charge fees for
interviews while he was in college. You know, he's dipping
(02:25):
out of the workout with the Sixers now and three
is his ceiling in the draft. You should want to
work out for that team. I know everybody kind of
lies about their height to a degree, but he was
listed at six' ten in college and then measured in
at six seven and a.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Half that's.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Impressive that's, yeah you're really trying to turn yourself from.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Like SIX i don't, know like you, Know Paul george
type of range Into Kevin durant type of, range just height,
wise but skill, Wise like this is a this is
a you, know not even TO i know things didn't
go well With Paul george for you guys In philly last,
year but just like next.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Year is a different, Year, julian next year's it every. Year,
yeah keep telling yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
As bailey is like A Paul george type of, prospect
like that's his his game kind Of, uh he definitely
needs to expand his, versatility but as a, scorer he's
a he's a tough shot, maker he elevates over the
top like he he's probably the third best prospect in this.
Draft so the fact that he's not going third anymore
and sliding to, four, five, six, seven eight nine ten
(03:34):
in mock drafts shows that there's some some stuff going
on off the court AND. Vj, edgecomb WHO i do
like a lot and is a much more safe. PICK
i would, say you, know opened plus one forty to
be the third. Pick he's now minus one seventy and
forty two percent of the money On DraftKings sportsbook is ON.
(03:58):
Vj edgecomb to that number three. Pick Whether philly's making
it or.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Not sim just quickly on the pre draft, cycle he's
not working out for, Everybody, like what is it just sixers?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Related what is the deal? Here he's not working out for. Anybody?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Why that's a great. Question that's what people are trying
to figure. Out apparently he wanted a promise from some.
Teams that's not how this. Works he's not getting a.
PROMISE i don't know. EXACTLY i will say with a sixer,
Situation Daryl moury went to Many rutgers games this, year
like more than Two rutgers games this, Year Daryl, mourray
so he scouted him in. Person he's very familiar With Aast.
(04:31):
Bailey they did interview him at The, conbine so it's
not like they've never talked to. Him you'd rather get
him in your, facility you can work out, himself take
him out to, dinner all the stuff that they had
scheduled for today and. Tomorrow but it's not Like Daryl
morriy is not familiar With Aast. Bailey he's very familiar with.
Him and Like julian, said the second that this pick
was announced That sixers had it at, THREE i tweeted
(04:52):
Veg edgecomb is the guy they should not be drafting As,
bailey AND i felt like that's more of A Daryl
mory pick, too to go With edgecombe Over Aast. Bailey
and there are many Reasons i'm not a fan Of Ace,
bailey shot, selection in, efficiency just a lot of that
doesn't translate for what The sixers need, immediately which is
a win now. Player SO i was under the impression
this would be Vg edgecomb as, is but it seems
like Ah bailey isn't doing himself any.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Favors do you think he's completely off the Board do
you think THERE'S i don't think he's completely off the.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
BOARD i still think it's a consideration Because darren moriy
has done those prior, scouts they don't need him in
for a. Visit and, look The sixers also didn't have
a workout in house With Tyre smaxy Or jared, McCain
two picks that were obviously much later in the first,
round but two picks That Darrel morey, nailed so he.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Doesn't need to see him in house.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
NECESSARILY i always thought Vg edgecumbe was ahead on the sixers,
board ahead of base excuse, me ahead Of Ace. BAILEY
i still think it's that, Way SO i don't think
this's changed that. Much but it's not just a sixers.
Thing now we're looking at how far Is Ace bailey
gonna fall because he won't work out for. Anybody and
the name that comes to mind for me is, like
this is kind of could be A Sair Door sanders
situation where a lot of the same stuff where it's
(05:53):
like this guy was Shud Door sanders more like tanking
interviews or reports the reports were at the, time but
it's where you could see that free fall.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Happen all, Right, julian before we get into game six,
tonight anything else from THE nba draft grabbing your, attention odds,
movement anything That DraftKings has up right.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Now and then your Boy brian scalabriny.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
MAN i know he's you, know he's got a spot
and Everybody's boston sportsman's hard up. There but he Said
Cooper flag if he had to go with the non
white guy comparison With.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Lebron, James, like what are we doing right?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Now?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Unbelievable, yeah that's.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Aggressive love Why leonard For Cooper? FLAG i like the.
VERSATILITY i don't have a good comp For Cooper. FLAG i,
mean we'll see what he. IS i think HE'S i
think he's a little bit, overrated but he is. Unique
like he.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Overrated in what?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Sense like you don't think he's gonna be this generational, process.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That second best prospect of the last however many years
behind Behind Wembin. YAMA i don't think he, Know.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah he's.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Good he's the clear cut number one pick would you rather?
HAVE i don't know how if people have seen enough
of like Aj Dia, bansa who's going to be number
one in next year's, draft who's originally from The boston
area and then played high school out In utah and
he's got the big N i l deal at by.
YOU i haven't seen enough of him to, Know but
LIKE i, like next year we could be talking about
(07:23):
another player in the same, Light like it just we're
always hyping up the next. GUY i Think cooper flags.
Good we'll see if he can be.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Great you, know if you were to, predict do you
think in five years will be a Perennial ALL nba?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Guy?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Premium he should be an all he should be An All.
Star ALL nba is better than An All star by
like ten players or. So, yeah So i'll commit to
all start.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
An All star, too, man all N B. A that's,
well that's what people are. Expecting he's got a row
to get to that. Level he. Will he's, young he's what? Nineteen,
Yeah i'm saying five, Years.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I'll commit to all.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Stars i'll take. That i'll take odds on that that he's.
NOT i think he's a great player AND i love them.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Obviously you know who.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Didn't but anything else in THE nba draft grabbing your
attention from odds though joining one week?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Out, well markets are on and off the. Board At Drafting,
SPORTSBOOK i will, Say Drafting sportsbook is what you. Know
everybody's got first, pick second pick through like top five picks.
Up there's some top ten. Markets Drafting sportsbook is well
beyond any other book right now in terms of. OFFERINGS
i think some of these just went down in terms
of draft positions and who's drafted, first but that we've
(08:41):
had them up and they'll be back. Up this one
might have moved after the last day or, two but
LAST i, LOOKED. Vj edgecombe was minus one sixty five
just to be taken ahead Of Ace. Bailey doesn't matter what.
Pick Just edgecomb ahead Of bailey was minus one sixty.
Five that intrigues me if it's still under two hundred
AND i did Bet, malawatch the big center From duke
(09:03):
seven to two. Freshman he's From South. Sudan he only
played like half the. Game he played about twenty one
minutes per, game eight, points six, rebounds block and a.
Half he shot seventy two percent from the. Field he
was almost eighty percent from the, line WHICH i think
is the key. Here people like these bigs to have.
Touch he didn't shoot threes in. College but can you
develop that player like look at the jump shot That
(09:24):
Joel embiid developed as that raw prospect like, This if
they can stretch out his jump shot with the game
that he, HAS i think a lot of teams are
going to be. Interested his draft prop was eight and
a HALF i wrote up an article minus won twenty
to under eight and a. Half anywhere from three to
eight should be realistically in his. RANGE i don't think
(09:45):
The sixers necessarily take him With embid on the, roster
but is there a? Trade three to eight is much
more likely for malawatch than slipping to nine or. BEYOND
i think.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All, right you could get all Of julian's great content
AT dk net work dot. Com check out everybody over
there At, DraftKings including our Own Sean, bernard WHICH i
saw he had an article on THE nba draft If
i'm not mistaken earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Today great a.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Good mock draft for, us AND i Think sean's working
for FOR dk network on draft night as.
Speaker 2 (10:13):

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Sports you must have heard that hit that we did
about that's it That shawn didn't didn't give us a
support like us he, Did, Hi, julian let's get out
over To game.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Six here we go. Tonight simple. Question we're going back
to okayse For game?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Seven probably? Not, yeah but that doesn't MEAN i wouldn't
take the points with within the you, know look at
you because just because okay see covered the last game
on the road to now be one and eight on the. Road,
ats it took like the worst minute Of finals basketball
we've seen From Ben matherin to tank that, game not
(11:42):
from just losing, it but to not covering.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
UH i think a little bit of this. GAME i
think of My celtics last, year who dominated The mavericks
in that series as a, whole but when they had
a chance to close it out on the, road they
played neck and neck for about six minutes and then
got mopped by The mavericks for forty two. MINUTES i
don't know if you remember that. Game it's the most
forgettable part of The. Finals they lost by like forty
(12:07):
to The mavericks In game, four dominated the rest of the.
SERIES i could, See, okay see this young team chance
to close out on the, road tightening up a little.
BIT i would love him in A game. SEVEN i
would love him early first, quarter first half in A
game seven If indy were to win this. Game BUT
(12:28):
i don't know if okayc can just go on the
road with or Without aliburton and win this game with.
Margin so not playing the side of the, total BUT
i would look AT i would look At, indy.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Are you playing anything this?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Evening?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
YEAH i am gonna go to the props BECAUSE i
Think haliburton gives it a. GO i don't think he's
gonna be. Himself he saw him play thirty two minutes
and go. Scoreless this is an. Injury he would clearly
be sitting out. With i'm not telling you he's gonna
go scoreless, tonight BUT i don't think he can be
as much of a. Factor AND i think if he you,
know him being on the floor over like A. Tj
(13:05):
McConnell arguably Cost indy a chance at that. Game they
probably would have lost. Anyway BUT i think you've got
to get more, guys your, matherins your mcconnald's on the
floor for some minutes For haliburton here if he doesn't
come out and look, himself And i'm not expecting him
to so Without aliburton in the MIX i, Did i'm
all just some little same game parlays, tonight to be,
(13:26):
honest which usually is in my. Style but McConnell ten,
points ten plus, points three plus assists with tie in
A haliburton under SO i went under thirteen and a half,
points you could go under twenty five and a half
points rebounds. Assists, obviously that's super. Correlated McConnell getting minutes
(13:49):
or production over Hobbled. Aliburton that ties. Together so you,
KNOW i did the ten points three assists for McConnell
With halliburton UNDER i think it was fourteen and a
half points at the, time now it's thirteen and a.
Half that was plus two, twenty SO i don't mind
that that ties together. Well and then Scam seacam is,
(14:12):
like okay see has every advantage on the. Floor the
only mismatching he has all series seems to Be. Siakham
he's averaging over twenty, points close to eight, rebounds over four,
assists two, steals a block and a. Half like he's
the only guy that kind of gives Okay see problems
they don't have an answer. For So sakham twenty plus
points with six plus. Rebounds he's gone for twenty plus
(14:34):
in the last three. Games he's got six and more
rebounds in every game of the. Series siakam twenty and
six was plus money last guy. Looked so that'll be
my prop.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
THERE i like the, angle love the, angle love THE.
Tj McConnell. Stuff it's funny yesterday he had the same
odds to win THE Nba FINALS mvp as chet holmger
and something THAT i never would have dreamed would have
been the. Case clearly his faith isn't you. Know, yeah
he's faded off the board in the last twenty four,
hours but still we are now back up to fourteen
(15:03):
and a half For Tyrese haliburt and as far as
no take that, back, sorry thirteen and a half right
here minus one five he's averaged eighteen and a. Half
he went over three. Straight of, course what took place
in game. FIVE i love that thought. Process so here we,
are and that's gonna be something that we will learn
pretty pretty, early RIGHT i would imagine we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
See what he has in the.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Tank and you, know fourteen and a half is a
number day he could get, to or fourteen is a
number they could get. To BUT i DO i like
where you're going with targeting him as far as the
injury is. Concerned let's talk a little bit about From
okac's perspective here And Jalen williams what he did in
the previous game.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Forty you, Know sam AND i were.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Talking he did a great article ever to score where
he was making the reference To boston last, year and
he pointed out last year That Jalen brown Or Jason
tatum led, points rebounds and assistant still lost THAT mvp.
Award two parts on jailing here for your mind. Here
first of, all twenty three and a. Half do you
think he backs that up performance and goes over this?
(16:01):
Number sales over this number has had great, finals just LIKE.
Sga and do you think that THE Mvp award is
remotely up for grabs or is it slam Duncan SGA's.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Favor.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
YEAH i have less of a feel FOR okc, tonight
BUT i do, have and this is just a feeling
rather than anything with numbers to back. IT i have
a feeling that we could see and it was a
different series at at three, nothing but that we could
SEE okac look a little bit Like boston on the
road with a chance to close it out last, year
(16:34):
clearly the better, team but just not necessarily ready for
the moment against a completely desperate. Team SO i don't
want to play ANY okc overs in case they just
don't look. Right that, said the role players for OK
see have been awesome at home and not great on the,
road besides maybe a game From. Caruso so it's gonna
be the stars carrying. Them if you made me play. Something,
(16:57):
okay see, related it's Probably Jalen williams points. OVER i
THINK sga should have a pretty good game and we'll
see if they get enough from other guys to close this.
OUT mvp, wise it's probably gonna BE. SGA a lot
of people are making the, argument, like you, know LAST
(17:17):
i looked at WAS sga minus five to, fifty but
thunder series minus two thousand of just, oh you got
to take that discount and lay you, know if you're
somebody with the type of bankroll to lay big, numbers
lay a five fifty WITH, sga and you're getting you,
know a quarter of the price on the finals winner
there because it is slam DUNK. SGA i don't know
if it's slam dunk Like tatum was pretty. Good he
(17:40):
wasn't totally, himself but he was pretty good in The
East finals and in THE Nba finals When Jalen brown
was just a little bit. Better so we just saw
that voters have the ability to go the other way
on some of these. Things Even i'll go, back like
a lot of people thought when The celtics lost that
seven game series to The heat when they were down
(18:00):
three nothing and then Lost game seven at, HOME a
lot of people Thought Caleb martin should have been THE.
Mvp it Was Jimmy. BUTLER i agree it should have
Been Jimmy, butler but the voting was five to. Four
it was Five butler Four Caleb. Martin so, again that's
an even more extreme example of voters not being afraid
to kind of go off the path a little bit
and a lot of like we just saw it in.
(18:22):
Hockey you, SAID i tak hockey off the. TOP i,
don't But i'm gonna make one. Comparison THE mvp was
some of the whatever. Constant, yes it's for the whole,
playoffs so, different totally different comedy that was kind of
up in the air in the last, one and then
the dude has four goals right in the, clincher so, it's,
oh we go his. Ray it's, like, well IF sga
(18:42):
has forty tonight or In game seven and they, win it's.
Him what if It's Jalen williams that gets forty again
in the, clincher that's really gonna leave an. Impression So
i'm not telling you to go bet plus seven fifty
On Jalen, williams But i'm open to the idea that
for the first time since the series, started it's not
almost matching prices FOR Okc SERIES.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Sga and another reference too Is Tyr's haliburn In Pascal
siakam last series Where Tyre's halliburn was walking up to
the podium because he AND i would have if you asked,
me a hundred tis out one, HUNDRED i, Said Tyrys
haliburn is THE mvp of the. SERIES i don't know
how you watch that series and came away with a different,
conclusion but five of the nine voters did. So obviously
(19:25):
it's split And i'm with you WHERE i made the
case For Jane, WILLIMS i don't think he should make.
IT i made the case of why he might make
it based on voters and, FINALS mvp voters. HISTORY i
just don't think that If Jalen williams has an awesome game,
tonight like he has another forty, ball even a thirty five,
ball and Like shay has another thirty, piece but he's
a little more under the, radar It's Jalen williams. SHOW
(19:48):
i Think Jaylen willims is gonna win, it assuming The thunder.
Win it's it's a clinching game. TONIGHT i Think Jalen
willims has a good chance of winning THE. Mvp so
a plus of price of plus six, HUNDRED i think
you take.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That oh it's down to six. Hundred, YEAH i haven't
looked at it. Today it was seven fifty yesterday and.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
It opened at forty to. One julian to start the
series At Jalen. Williams does he have forty to?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
ONE i don't have the opener in front of.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Him this is crazy the thing?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Right? WOW i MEAN sga essentially matched the series. Price, yeah.
Unbelieva that makes everybody else a long shot unless you're Going.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Indy. Yep all, Right.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Julian, edlough fantastic follow all over. Everything AS i, said
all one, word full Name Juliana edlow and, uh he's
got some interesting odds as far AS nba draft is,
concerned of, course With benedict matherin some numbers a courtesy
Of Draftings, sportsbook trust me going to tell you give
him a follow and be sure to check out everything
over THAT dk. Network let's keep it, moving and you,
(20:45):
Know i'm just gonna dip my toes into the football
water just a little bit. There but again with THE
Nba finals going off this. Evening, uh front and CENTER
nba in our, minds and we were talking about, this
And i'm just curious if you have a take on
the fact that The lakers were just sold for ten billion.
Dollars And i'm not gonna ask you about, that but
we stumbled into a conversation just previous before you AND
(21:08):
i was wondering whether or not like we should be
reading a little bit more into the fact, that Like Mark,
cuban WHICH i thought he'd be associated with The mavericks,
forever he's out now the bus.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Family, sorry we're.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Out you got these contracts that are, changing like we
constantly are changing right, now the way we consume sports
with streaming and. Everything big picture, QUESTION i just want
to know what your thoughts. Are, uh do you think
THE nba not in? Trouble by, no, man they're not
saying they're in. Trouble BUT i don't. THINK i think
this is The Promised. LAND i don't think you could
(21:40):
ever go up from. Here and that's not the. Same
they're gonna take a huge. Dip but last year we
talked about The. Celtics it's a pretty good. Team The
Boston celtics entertaining ratings weren't all that good this.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Year we know. It blah blah. Blah im not gonna
get into the.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
RATINGS i just, wonder you, know like maybe we should
be looking at THE nba the product sports as, Whole, like,
YEAH i think we might be seeing things change a
little bit over these next few.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
YEARS i don't. Know would that make this a two
part of Jewl go right?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Ahead are you like some Other celtics FANS i see
on the timeline where you're pissed of The celtics were
sold last year for six billion and The lakers were
sold for ten? Billion or are you not as salty
as some of those other.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Guys, no that doesn't make me pissed. OFF i would
say The celtics are worth more than sixty percent of The.
LAKERS i think that's fair to. Say now you know
That luca trade now has to be worth how much?
MONEY i don't Even i'm not smart enough to be
(22:37):
in this stratosphere of dollars and figure out how much
that was. Worth but, like is it eight before The luca?
TRADE i don't, know but YEAH i Would i'm not
bitter about. It but if you ask, me, like you,
know would are The celtics worth sixty percent of The
lakers over? UNDER i would go. Over in terms of the,
(23:01):
LEAGUE i know the league isn't in. Trouble they have
so much. Money everything's gonna keep going. Up you said
it's hit its. Peak it has to keep going up
if people are gonna smart, business people are going to
keep buying these teams for this much LIKE i don't.
KNOW i didn't think the McDonald's dollar menu was ever
going to be. Gone now everything on it's like four.
(23:21):
Bucks there's our common man's. Right The lakers gotta you,
know they gotta be worth. More of The celtics gotta
be worth. More i'll say, this you want a, bargain
bin A rod And laurie just bought UH A rod
just bought the T wolves for like one point five.
(23:42):
Billion how long ago was.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
That that's crazy to think.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
About that was like a couple of years. Ago that's
a great. Deal IF i had one point five, billion
that's What i'd be doing buying The timberwolves when all
these other teams are going for six to. Ten so,
YEAH i Don't it can't be a bad thing for the, league,
though it's it's gonna keep, going all, right.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And then finally a quick question on this and teach
their Own LIKE i get so bogged down AND i
get it's a me. THING i get caught up and it's, like,
ah LIKE i don't want to Like i'll.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Tune into THE. WNBA i used to watch. IT i.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
DID i did even Before Caitlin. Clark and how's A
Kelsey plumb? Fan and you know, Whatever now there's all
this other. Stuff But i'm from curious from the betting,
perspective are you hearing from people that follow this, stuff
that wager on it that there is a little bit
of a an edge to be made as far as
wagering on THE wnba or people making money on THE
wnba anything there as far as wagering on that league.
(24:36):
Itself or is it just basically all the money that
comes in it's On Caitlin. Clark and you, know you
get a lot Of johnny fans out there that are
just firing on anything cait And clark positive.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Numbers it's both now because of the new crowd That
Caitlyn clark has brought, in it's always going to Be
Caitlyn clark one of the most bet props of the,
night and That Caitlin clark over money is always going
to be. There BUT i still think there is a
little bit of an edge TO, wnba And i'm not
quite as into it AS i will be maybe In
july And. August WHAT i think the end that the
(25:08):
W nba still has is a hint of predictability that
THE nba used to have and now doesn't with These
pacers And heat teams And mavericks teams last year that make.
Runs THE nba used to be pretty. Predictable when you
know twenty years twenty five years, Ago Lakers, sixers you,
(25:31):
know knock yourself out In, Philly but we knew who
was gonna win that series minus two Thousand lakers price
on that series In vegas at the. Time LIKE i
feel like we knew a lot of the. Out we
knew The spurs we're gonna Beat Lebron's calves the first
time we got. There like we knew The warriors were
gonna beat The calves and those Last durant. Teams that's
(25:52):
really the end of, It like when The raptors beat The.
Warriors since, then that's been a new champion every. Year
and there's been new surprise. TEAMS i think that element
is a little bit that has not occurred yet in THE,
wnba and you can short, answers bet a little bit more,
chalk put a couple favorites together on a parlay or
(26:13):
bet a bad, spot and you're gonna win more often
than you would right now in THE.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Nba.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Interesting i'm glad we got into that discussion. THERE i
just get your take on, it because, look, Tonight Caitlin
clark's in.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Action i'll have to tune in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
HERE a twenty two plus as far as her points
are concerned On DraftKings sportsbook over twenty one and a
half and even. Money come, on she's got that in the.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Bank, no, probably she's been.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
GOOD i mean she looked great when she came back
that first game from. Injury i'm just pulling up our email.
Here let's, SEE i got nothing in the email on.
THAT i will get you ON dk. Network you can
look this up on your own most bet player. Props
i'm on the tool right. Now let's see If Caitlyn
clark is the most bet. Player of course she. Is
(26:59):
Caitlin clark twenty plus at minus one seventy is the
most bet.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Prop.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Wow third most bet Prop Caitlyn clark to score the
first points of the game plus four Fifty, fourth most
bet Prop Caitlyn clark over eight and a half assists
minus one thirty. Five fifth most pet Prop Caitlyn clark
double double even. Money, six most bet Prop Caitlyn clark
three plus made threes at minus two to twenty. Five
that's gonna be in. Parlays clark has three more props
(27:28):
all in the top. Ten so there's your answer about
the handle That Caitlyn clark is carrying into these.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Games, yeah we're talking ratings there day as. Offten we you,
know jab at. Them, like all you gotta do is
just Put Kaitlin clark in the front row and Have
Taylor swift up in the suites and you're good to. Go,
like just make that happen and you're not gonna have
any issue in THE. Nba that's, It, julian you're the.
Best thank you very much for all the information and
setting us. Up of, COURSE Nba Finals game six tonight
going down In. Indiana will we see a game? Seven
(27:55):

here right.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Now good luck on all those. Plays we're inch and.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Time.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Awesome there he is once, Again Julian needlo on The
Gambler hotline Slash. Stream fantastic job across the. Board be
sure to follow him on. Everything there Is caitlin a
top three player in the W.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It's what she's AN Mvp. Canada Cousin, nikki Cousin, Nick
is that a?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Question, yeah well he said she's not better Than Wilson
Asia wilsons, correct as is no. Joke all, right that's
one did the other girl THAT'S i can't even get
into him because flex her knowledge, was like you.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Said it.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Incredible she's Worth let's look at THE mvp market right.
Now she's worth all the.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
ATTENTION i get it and then, some but it's crazy to,
me like you, know the people, again it's the same
stuff that we.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Dealt with last. Year first of, all it's the time of,
year so everyone's.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Knowing everyone knows that just bringing her name up and
getting into those inciniary conversations are only going to fetch
eyeballs and ears, Right so it doesn't feel like people
are genuine with the.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Conversation that's. One that's WHY i just want no part of.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
It but when you talk about, superstars which we do
constantly in THE, nba, Yep Kaylyn clark is a bona
fide superstar.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Sports no to forget THE.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Nba she transcends her, sport no, doubt and really transcends
sports as a.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Whole like my, mom my grandparents would know WHO. Kailn clark.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Is everybody knows Who Kayton clark. Is she transcends. Sports
she's the ultimate. Superstar and it's amazing because she doesn't
even market herself that. Well she's a commercial state farm
shoe deals With nike all, that but she's not putting
herself out there on the podium and on the microphone
like that. Constantly but she is a, superstar And i'm
polarizing figure for whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Reason all, Right oh, look we got a lot of
people checking in.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Here she's roy our video streams went, down BUT i
think we're still. Live she's not better Than.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Collier, Well collier is a FAVORITE mvpa two eighty, five
and Then Kevin clark is the second favorite at plus
two thirty And Aga wilson plus seventy five, hundred all,
right and Then Breonna stewart she's also plus seventy five.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Hundred, Stu, Yeah stuwe there you. Go which they gotta go? Fight?
OH i, know is this gonna? Fight they were bro
and that those two. Teams but that Was Brionna stewart's. Team. Correct,
oh but she wasn't in the.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Fight ALL i know is this people were, like, oh
you can't Have, no you can have.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
It that's a good. Thing that's a good.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Thing and you and you, know you often you think
about what THE nba was in the ninety slash, Eighties
and not to say that That jordan elevated the, league we,
know hands, down but there was bird In magic before.
That like you, know there were great players that helped.
It but The pistons with the bad, boys of, course
you had to earn your keep, there, right they were.
(30:49):
Bruisers the league's going through that right, now AND i
think that it's only going to be beneficial in the long. Run,
AGAIN i don't want anyone get. Hurt but like LIKE i,
said the big picture to, me sorry to be all,
overplace is the same conversations we're having right now are
the same things we had last, year like where people
don't know how to react to this, stuff, like.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Dude giuse the.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Girls you gotta be nice to, Know, Dude they're out
there compete and running their yaps at each other and
tempers are gonna.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Fly who?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Cares and everyone's saying that the W nba officiating is
so bad because they don't throw those people out when
they initiate these. Fights and you're, sure theoretically there should
be discipline for those, people but on the flip, side
when you don't throw those people, out you have moments
like happen at the end of that That Fever sun
game where there was a really hard foul That Sophie
(31:37):
cunningham took on the girl that actually is, hard really,
Hard Caitlyn. CLARK i, mean for it was a transition
shot with forty six seconds left and transitional, lamp and.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
She she it was a really Hard, yeah that would
even be a hard. Foul that wouldn't be a hard.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Fouling but the point is that everyone's, like, oh the
W a doesn't know how to handle this, stuff and they.
Should those guys should be thrown out earlier to avoid situations.
Later those situations later create viral. Moments, yeah viral moments
actually help your league and help broadcast your league.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
On a larger.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Scale so, yeah you don't want violence and, fights, no
but it also helps a little.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
BIT i agree with.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
That and If i'm sure you get the little truth
serum over, there get a beard in front of the
commissioner of.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
THE, wnba they would absolutely admit to.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That, so LIKE i, SAID i texted the group, chat BUT,
