having him bullied me on the phone. He called Elliott Gould. It's called
Elliott Gould, and Gould called meand cussed me out, and then Gould
said, did you tell Matt tof off too? Imagine me driving on

Oh god, see r el SegundoRock and Brus one forty three Main Street,
(18:26):
corner of Maine and Franklin. Asyou said, pen as our third
consecutive, you're going there now thatthe opponent came down, we don't have
to come to work for the restof the week. That's right. Opponent
already saw us. We're good.We should have told him that we were
at that meeting. I almost skippedtoday too. I almost was like,
you know what, fourth of Julyweek, every we just do the show
(18:47):
for a home and no, there'sresponsibility. It's a four hour show.
Let's go away the rest of theweek. Though, after the opponent was
here, no chance I heard Roganand Rodney were about to fight to day,
Vic, did you feel that vibe? It was edgy, very very
edgy. I don't see no quote. Yeah, walk us through it because
(19:07):
Kevin gave us nothing well till aboutthe look Kevin Figers likes me less and
less as the day's goal with hisemployers. What happened, Vic? Rodney
got upset because Fred was taking shotsat Lebron. Yeah, I didn't see
no quote. Very it was nebulouson Lebron restructuring his deal, taking a
(19:33):
cut of twenty five million dollars totry to induce Lay Thompson right to become
a Laker. Right that was reported, and Rich Paul was cited as a
source in that right exactly, Andso Rodney didn't like that. Well,
Fred was saying, only he'll takethe cut if it's the right player.
(19:55):
And obviously, you know, cuttingcutting the edge off of Lebron's in the
offer of cutting. You know,I see what you're saying, Hey,
why not just take the cut andlet the team figure it out instead of
you declaring which player they need tosign in order for you to give him
a financial break. Just hey,guys, I'll take twenty mili less you
go out and fill some holes.I think what you're saying exactly, and
(20:18):
that good point. It was.It was a good point, and I
think Rodney was was saying it wasit was another attempt by Fred to devalue
you know, Lebron James's power.But obviously if he has, you know,
he has the money, you know, to give back to the Lakers
so they can get a Klay Thompsonor Demaud de Rosen. I heard.
(20:41):
This was the maddest Rodney's been withFred since they argued about that reporter getting
suspended at USC Remember Fred go realhot about that and Rodney he was even
more mad than when he didn't winthe game. Well, that was a
different level of anger. It wasedgy and it was fun. But but
(21:03):
again the Lakers failed to come throughbecause Claik clak Thompson is on his way
to the Dallas What's that doesn't reallymatter there? Ron, So now what
I heard, things got a littleugly, Vic. That's all people are
on edge, George and Philly peopleare on edge. And you're still riding
the nuts of Brownnie come lately.Huh huh, Vic, I'm I'm a
(21:30):
little I'm bummed out that Paul Georgehas left the city. Answered, you
won't even answered the Brownie query.Wants nothing to do with it. That's
a project, are you Are younot riding his nuts? Yes or no
question? Vic? Yes, I'mwriting his nuts. No, I'm not
riding his nuts. It's a greatproject. It's a great storyline, and
I'm so curious. I'd love itto be a happy ending, I really
(21:53):
do. I will. I wouldlove to see him flourish, uh,
you know, in the South Bayinto South Bank guys, Nuts was an
RTD, you'd have a season pass. Vic, you're riding nuts. That's
a project. Listen at fifty five. Let it be at fifty five,
Let it be No, it's amessage that sends to everybody else. Viac.
(22:15):
It doesn't matter. These things don'thappen in a vacuum. You think
anybody around the league and on thatteam is going to respect Brownny Come lately
coming in there acting all hard withBrian Windhorse. You think wind Horse is
gonna protect him from some angry dudefrom Prairie View, A and M in
the G League. It's gonna hanghis nuts on Ronnie's neck because he's only
(22:37):
six to one. Well, he'sgone, he's gonna earn a spot eyeing.
Now's the time he's got to work. He's gotta he's really got a
grind eyeing. What do you makeof Lebron's striking out on his three targets?
Like, imagine you're rich Paul andyou feed either no neck or the
rhino with Klay Thompson, Jonas Valanciunis, who's the rhino? Ryan, Ryan
(23:03):
Rossillo and James Arden and none ofthem signed with the Lakers. I mean,
you really got your thing in yourhand, don't you. You're really
standing there with your member just rightthere in your hand, like, hey,
look at me, like your phone? What do you make of that?
Vig? You feel pretty sun,You feel pretty stupid, wouldn't you
if you were Lebron. I'm stunned. I'm stunned that Klay Thompson didn't come
(23:26):
home. Don't do it, Claire. You don't want any part of this.
You don't want any part of thisteam. Lebron's ruined everything. You
gotta be part of the badmind.It ain't like it was. There's no
more family. Doctor Buss's dude eatsa bunch of cutthroats, get job,
(23:48):
go with Luca. I mean youwould assume his old man would say,
you know right, wouldn't you?But he didn't want to go. Hey
dad, how is it with theLakers? It's a living night? What
Clay says? He thought he hada better shot of winning a title with
Dallas kick to the nuts. Buthe's right, all right, Vic,
Well that'll be three years, fiftymillion. He had a lot more lucrative
(24:14):
offers did Klay Thompson, but hewent with less money, you know,
the three years fifty with Dallas,you know, fourth shot at his fifth
title. We can discuss this moretomorrow. Vic. Absolutely, we have
Don McClean coming on next week.I thought you would be able to engage
the opponent more on the New YorkVibe. There was an awkward silence and
then we had to stand and die. Yeah, we're for like some great
(24:37):
burrow, you know, tales fromthe Five Boroughs. Yeah, in Cosmo
Yakavazzi, my teeth and the SewerGrunfeld to be continued. I don't know
if the opponent's coming back. Youknow, we said that before, but
he came back. I couldn't believeit. He's like George Foreman, he
keeps coming back to fight, grandsDance. We'll be right back with marg
(24:59):
Great Sports Talk Todd McClain an emergencySports Talk Paul George has gone interview next
and what they get you doing wellme mention it. Last segment started the
show. Mark your Calendar's Friday,July nineteenth, third stop on the PMS
(25:21):
Summer Tour, July nineteenth, Rockand Bruce el Segundo again. That is
a week from this Friday, Julynineteenth, two weeks from this Friday,
two weeks from this Friday, Julynineteenth, Rock and Bruise El Segundo,
all right, joining us right nowon your Southern California Toyota Diner celebrity hotline.
(25:42):
Free agency has exploded, and thoughhe truly resents, unless he's in
as a co host, coming onon a Monday, there's nothing we can
do. We're not going to beon Thursday or Friday, which is his
customary time. And this story ishot, and it's hot right now,
and we got to strike the hammerwhile the iron is hah. The leading
(26:03):
scorer in the history of the PACtwelve and UCLA. His statue stands in
Lemon Park and seem Valley. Hejust had an incredibly productive draft again with
CAA. And as the world ofbasketball turns and changes, we need the
guidance from Don McClain on am FIseventy LA Sports. Let's cracking, Don,
How are you sorry? Let's givethis a rip. I'm not sure
(26:27):
this time of year how well mybrain works on a Monday, but let's
give it a go. Come on, Don, I mean, what can
we do? I mean, youknow there's a lot of free agency.
You're our guy. You know.I mean, I wouldn't want to call
Sam Amic you know, tell us, were you surprised when Paul George made
the decision he made And what doesit mean that the Clippers didn't seem to
(26:51):
be that into bringing him back forwhat he wanted. Yeah, I'm not
surprised because if it was going toget done, it probably would have already
have been done, you know whatI mean, Like you just the longer
it went on, you just hadthis feeling that he was really going to
look hard at going somewhere else.And I think one thing that people have
to understand is this, when you'rea professional and you guys understand this.
(27:11):
When you're a professional athlete, youonly have a small window to make as
much money as you can. That'sall. You can be an NBA player
for forty years like a career,you know, so when you're talking about
an extra year, which is whyI haven't talked to them, but it
seems like it came down to thatfourth year. When you're talking about a
fourth year guaranteed at forty plus million, this deep into his career, that's
(27:37):
something that you really can't pass up. And I get it from the Clippers
standpoint of managing that cap and thiswhole second Apron thing that's going on,
you have to be able to havesome flexibility, and they just couldn't do
it with PG. But somebody elsewas willing to. And I think that
Paul and his representatives had to lookat that, and I think that's what
it ultimately came down to, ismaximizing years and dollars at the end of
(28:00):
his career, no doubt. Imean, there's no way you can blame
Paul George for taking it. Itends up what it looks like, don
and you would know better than us, but about seventy million bucks that you
know reports where it was the samedeal they offered Kawhi and he ends up
getting four for two twy. It'sa ridiculous amount of money to walk away
from. You just got to takeit. But from the Clippers side,
(28:21):
the one thing that I'm trying tofigure out, and by all means,
it appears as though the NBA hasdone what they wanted, trying to get
some more competitive balance with this secondApron stuff, and nobody wants to be
over that thing. But they werewilling to give them the three one fifty,
which would have put them clear inthat second apron for the next three
years. So I'm wondering if it'sjust that's kind of what their timeline was,
(28:41):
like, Hey, we don't wantthis thing going past twenty twenty seven,
and that's when we're going to resetthem. Trying to figure out why
they were stuck at three years anddecided to let them walk, you know
what I mean. Yeah, Iknow what you're saying, man, But
I think every every franchise projects out, you know, they don't just live
in the moment of the year.I mean some teams do. They go
all in and trade and give awayall their picks and go for it.
(29:04):
But the Clippers have kind of beenin the same realm for a while now
where they're contenders. Unfortunately, they'vehad some health in the playoffs, so
they haven't gotten it done. ButI also think they look at Kawhi and
PG their window. I mean,I think PG in three years is going
to be on year eighteen if I'mnot mistaken. And so when you're talking
about giving a guy fifty million dollarsfor his nineteen season in the NBA,
(29:26):
look, Lebron's still doing it.But Lebron's a freak and maybe the biggest
freak athlete that the NBA has everseen. And so I think that I
don't know, but I think that'spartly what it had to do with.
It's like, look, guys,we got if we can get Kawhi and
PG back, we got three yearsto try and get this thing done,
and if we can't, we're eitherstarting over, we're stripping it down,
(29:48):
or we're going in a different direction. So I have a feeling that's what
it was. But again you goback to PG side Matt like, it's
not like he's going to some crapteam for more money. Like, that's
a legitimate a team now if Ibeing can stay healthy him and Maxie like,
he's got a legitimate chance to winan NBA championship in Philadelphia. What
does it say for the Clippers,don like moving forward? What do you
(30:11):
think the sort of the idea isorganizationally going into next year? Do they
try to find multiple guys to fillwhat PG did you know so well as
just one player? Or are wegoing to maybe see trades Like how do
you envision this thing going? Well? They kind of did, I mean,
they resigned Batoomb and Derek Jones bothvery good defenders, and I think,
you know, looking at their roster, I haven't looked at it real
(30:33):
deep, but knowing what I know, I think they feel like offensively,
with Harden and Kawhi and the otherguys they have, they'll have enough offense.
It was replacing pg's defense on thewing. I think that that's what
it looked like to me that theysigned Jones and Batoom, because they are
both very good wing defenders to atleast take care of that side of the
ball. But I still think they'rea very very good team. Are they
(30:56):
a contender? Kind of need tosee how it plays out. They're certainly
not as good without PG as theywould have been had they been able to
keep them, so correct me ifI'm wrong. Gone, But apparently over
the weekend, Lebron's people said hewas willing to take a pay cut for
these certain players, and the Lakersdidn't get any of those players. So
does he not take a pay cut? How does that work? Well,
(31:19):
free agency is not over, andI haven't looked to see who's still left
as free agents, but I thinkit works. How Like you just said,
if no one's left to get wemight as well, just give him
his money because there's no one elseto give it to. I think if
he did take a little less,it might give him some flexibility, not
that they're going to ever trade Lebron, but just in terms of their cap.
(31:41):
But yeah, it's an interesting situation. And you know, it is
La it is the Lakers. Itis a little bit curious that they didn't
get any of the big free agentswhen when something like that happens, it
leaks out that Lebron wants to takea pay cut so these certain guys can
come. Is that necessary? Doesit have to leak out for it to
(32:04):
happen? Why does that leak out? What couldn't they just do that?
You know what I mean? Idon't get it. I go back years
ago, and really the only guythat's ever really taken a pay cut for
the betterment of the team, toimprove the roster is Tim Duncan. He
was a guy that at the timewas worth twenty to twenty five million,
and he took ten million a year. That's the only example I can remember
(32:29):
of a guy really taking a paycut so that they could sign other players
or trade for other players or whateverit was. And so and no one
knew about that. I didn't evenknow about it at the time. And
so, yeah, you're right.If it's really about just improving your team,
you've made gobs of money, andit's not about the money anymore.
It's about winning championships. You takea real pay cut. It's like the
(32:52):
old thing, like everybody says they'reready to take a pay cut until it's
time to actually take a paycut.And so, you know what, whether
it leaked out on purpose or not, I don't know, but it does
seem a little bit weird that heif he was willing to take a pay
cut, how they weren't able towork something out with some of these higher
profile free agent guys. Yeah,that's the part that I kind of find
(33:15):
interesting, Donna. And you know, look, Klay Thompson's going to join
a Dallas team. It was justin the NBA Finals. I get that.
But you know what Clay's connection isto the Lakers. He grew up,
you know, shooting around on thosefloors before and after basketball games.
He and Kobe were close. Hisdad still works for the team. Lebron
apparently reached out to him to pitchhim on coming down to join him.
(33:35):
In La. He turns him down. We knew James Harden got way too
much money for the Lakers to beable to afford him. And then the
third name on there is the onethat I'm really scratching my head, Jonas
Valanciunas, and he takes a threeyear deal in Washington, a team that
won fifteen games last year. I'mjust wondering, you know, before the
Lakers were a destination for guys likeRick Fox and Robert Or and Brian Shaw
and like just man they got arethey going to get shut out? You
(33:58):
think, is it not as desirableas we think think it is? Well,
it certainly seems that way right now. The one thing I would say,
and we've talked about this, Ihappen to think that JJ Reddick's going
to become a very good coach.But there's unknown and I think Klay Thompson,
this deep into his career, islooking at it going well, I
look at the roster, but yougot a guy that's coaching that's never coached
(34:20):
before. I'm not going to playfor very much longer. I'm joining a
team that was in the finals lastyear, have one of the best five
players in the league, on myteam, and so that gives me a
real chance to win another championship.And so I don't think it's so much
that you know, the Lakers aren'tdesirable, but I think the guy like
Klay Thompson, this deepened his careeris like, look, I got to
win now, and we don't knowhow good JJ Reddick's going to be,
(34:44):
We don't know if Anthony Davis isgoing to stay healthy. This is a
better chance for me to try andwin a championship right now. How tough
is it? Like when you justlook at the way this thing stacked up?
You said it, I mean,Paul, George, Maxi and mbid.
We know what Boston has in theirBig three, and that just the
fact that I know Hart and Steinis not somebody that everybody knows. But
(35:05):
you add that to that young coreof Oklahoma Steins, Like where how I'm
looking at the Lakers and Clippers goinghow do you fit into these? You
know, to Denver in Dallas andMinnesota and Oklahoma City, it looks like
they're just yeah, they're not inthat same you know, top tier category.
Well everything cycles, you know,it does in pro sports and in
(35:28):
the NBA, and you know,it feels like the Lakers and Clippers are
at the end of this cycle wherethey had a chance to win, or
still do have a chance to win, but they haven't built it up like
the thunder hat like that. Youknow. Look, everybody including me,
was was taking shots at Minnesota whenthey gave away all those picks for Gobert.
Well it turns out, you know, they didn't win it this year,
(35:49):
but they're a lot better than theywere three four years ago. And
so you know, it's a caseby case basis. But I just think
that the Clippers, you know,they were right there for five years with
Kawhi and PG. They just unfortunatelycould not stay healthy in the playoffs.
And I think if they had,they might have broken through one of those
years. And but these younger teams, they build through the draft, guys
(36:14):
get better. You make trades foryoung guys that in a bigger role,
in a better role on this newteam. They've thrived like she Kildess,
Alexander, those type of guys.And so that's where it's at right now,
and it'll be interesting to see onceonce the season starts, how all
this kind of plays out. Sharpas a pirate Scabbard, the Great Don
McClain, Ladies and gentlemen, there'snobody better. We appreciated Don. Thank

weekend? So Matt, you seemto be out and about. Yeah,
(40:05):
it was out a lot this weekend. Surfed early am Saturday, dog park
day for Willow the Dog for anhour or so. Preston played a private
beach party on the strand for well, wasn't private actually, it's public public
beach party for Ron and his beachparty. Uh had a piece of night
at the Minthers. They have anoutdoor pizza oven that we were treated to.
(40:29):
I ate too much. I dranksome IPAs that were a little too
heavy, rode my bike home andI think I might have been inside the
house for forty five seconds before Ipassed that. Okay, it was a
little bit too heavy. So wereyou drunk? I think it was just
a lot, okay, And Ithink the pizza combined with a couple of
little staggered a couple of those sixteenouns like nine percenters. Yes, definitely
(40:50):
knocked me out. You just putyourself to sleep pretty much. Yeah,
exactly. Kate uh Sunday had agreat morning. Our old friend he joined
us at the HQ summer or stopped. Rocky McKinnon asked if a couple of
us could pitch in. He runsa surf school in Huntington, but had
his Veterans Appreciation Day, So alot of vets at the HQ at the
right across from where the HQ was. We've been there before Veterans Day,
(41:14):
getting them out in the water andgot some big guys that he recruited Samoa
Joe. You met Joe, longtimefootball player. Coach Tyler plays water polo,
played water polo at UCLA and meand when't you know it, trying
to help people out and pick himup, make sure they don't fall,
and got a seventy five year oldVietnam vet ogi. Wonderful guy was hanging
(41:38):
out with him on the sand andheld him up as he kind of came
to the end of his belly rideon the board there and I thought his
feet were under him because we werechatting and I kind of had him held
up and then next thing I know, you dropped an old man. I
assumed he was standing and I kindof braced him as I lifted him up
(41:59):
on board, like the end ofthe Lebowski, like this guy walks dead
weight and as he fell, Iyou heard everyone go oh no, and
I was like, great, I'veruined it. Oh god, Yeah,
I mean I felt terrible. Youknow, you try to do some good
and you end up looking like theworst guy to be and everyone's like,
hey, it's I saw what's goingon. You had him? It was
totally fine. You know when everyone'sconsoling you, you're like, oh,
(42:20):
I really f this up. Thisis not good. I've seen a lot
of spinals and nom this guy walks. Yeah. So that was that was
unfortunate, But kudos to Rocky McKinnonfor aving ten fifteen vet's out. I
tried my best. I felt likeI had a positive man able to get
back up? Or did they gurneyhim out? He got back up?
(42:42):
Okay, all right, well that'sgood. We were chatting. I helped
him get his wetsuit off. Whenwe got out of the water, he
said he was fine. He waslike, I was totally fine. But
I just felt like after that,everybody was kind of looking at me like
who brought this clown? A lotof donkeys in the water. I was
the dog dropped an old man.That was me, a bitch, and
I was trying to make up forwardafter that, I was like super involved,
(43:06):
hard people down, and now you'retrying to make the MVP make up
for it. But it doesn't.It was too late, and it was
just too late. You think it'sworse than when Madonna was like get up
out of your chair and dance.That first was in a wheelchair. It
was worse than that. It waswhen I had him and he just fell
forward, and so I was onhis back as he fell forward, and
I was like, oh God,look at this gold bricker. Dude pretended
(43:29):
to be a cripple. I waslike, son up a bitch, Come
on, this guy walks the wonderfulguy too. We're having a great conversation.
His legs just they were noodly orsomething. I think he just assumed
I was gonna carry maybe put himback on the board. No, I
think he probably thought I was goingto put him right back on the board
and push him back out for anotherwave, because that's what we did the
(43:49):
last time through. You were done, and I was like coming up.
You were coming up to get himModello. All right, Kates, didn't
you drop an old cripple? Uhno, in the water. We would
never do that. No, I'mterrible. You know what old an old
Vietnam vecuum drown and like two inchesa walk. Oh jeez. I drowned
my sorrows Friday night into a coupleof Margarita's at Don Cucos after the show,
(44:15):
got home about eight thirty into Burbankand met the wife at Don Cuco's
for dinner and drinks. Oh yeah, and then people getting mad, Hi,
Tim, where are you? It'sme the morning, wondering where you've
been waiting. They can't be mad. We were just there a few days
before that. So it's a balancingact. Guys, it's really hard.
(44:38):
Oh jeez, we'll come back.Who goes, We'll come back. Jeez.
H Saturday night, myself, mywife, the Everetts, and the

people at a place that holds seventyfive. The fire marshall came in from
Glendelle Fire Department and told him nomore. There was a on the door,
bro, no for you, bro. But he walked around with shots

(16:48):
having him bullied me on the phone. He called Elliott Gould. It's called
Elliott Gould, and Gould called meand cussed me out, and then Gould
said, did you tell Matt tof off too? Imagine me driving on
peace h listening to the phone goterrible feeling. That was strictly all Gold
like, Oh you're saying you putyou saying. Gould was was not called
(17:11):

that old school big like ink tattooon his back. You know it's gonna

Oh god, see r el SegundoRock and Brus one forty three Main Street,
(18:26):
corner of Maine and Franklin. Asyou said, pen as our third
consecutive, you're going there now thatthe opponent came down, we don't have
to come to work for the restof the week. That's right. Opponent
already saw us. We're good.We should have told him that we were
at that meeting. I almost skippedtoday too. I almost was like,
you know what, fourth of Julyweek, every we just do the show
(18:47):
for a home and no, there'sresponsibility. It's a four hour show.
Let's go away the rest of theweek. Though, after the opponent was
here, no chance I heard Roganand Rodney were about to fight to day,
Vic, did you feel that vibe? It was edgy, very very
edgy. I don't see no quote. Yeah, walk us through it because
(19:07):
Kevin gave us nothing well till aboutthe look Kevin Figers likes me less and
less as the day's goal with hisemployers. What happened, Vic? Rodney
got upset because Fred was taking shotsat Lebron. Yeah, I didn't see
no quote. Very it was nebulouson Lebron restructuring his deal, taking a
(19:33):
cut of twenty five million dollars totry to induce Lay Thompson right to become
a Laker. Right that was reported, and Rich Paul was cited as a
source in that right exactly, Andso Rodney didn't like that. Well,
Fred was saying, only he'll takethe cut if it's the right player.
(19:55):
And obviously, you know, cuttingcutting the edge off of Lebron's in the
offer of cutting. You know,I see what you're saying, Hey,
why not just take the cut andlet the team figure it out instead of
you declaring which player they need tosign in order for you to give him
a financial break. Just hey,guys, I'll take twenty mili less you
go out and fill some holes.I think what you're saying exactly, and
(20:18):
that good point. It was.It was a good point, and I
think Rodney was was saying it wasit was another attempt by Fred to devalue
you know, Lebron James's power.But obviously if he has, you know,
he has the money, you know, to give back to the Lakers
so they can get a Klay Thompsonor Demaud de Rosen. I heard.
(20:41):
This was the maddest Rodney's been withFred since they argued about that reporter getting
suspended at USC Remember Fred go realhot about that and Rodney he was even
more mad than when he didn't winthe game. Well, that was a
different level of anger. It wasedgy and it was fun. But but
(21:03):
again the Lakers failed to come throughbecause Claik clak Thompson is on his way
to the Dallas What's that doesn't reallymatter there? Ron, So now what
I heard, things got a littleugly, Vic. That's all people are
on edge, George and Philly peopleare on edge. And you're still riding
the nuts of Brownnie come lately.Huh huh, Vic, I'm I'm a
(21:30):
little I'm bummed out that Paul Georgehas left the city. Answered, you
won't even answered the Brownie query.Wants nothing to do with it. That's
a project, are you Are younot riding his nuts? Yes or no
question? Vic? Yes, I'mwriting his nuts. No, I'm not
riding his nuts. It's a greatproject. It's a great storyline, and
I'm so curious. I'd love itto be a happy ending, I really
(21:53):
do. I will. I wouldlove to see him flourish, uh,
you know, in the South Bayinto South Bank guys, Nuts was an
RTD, you'd have a season pass. Vic, you're riding nuts. That's
a project. Listen at fifty five. Let it be at fifty five,
Let it be No, it's amessage that sends to everybody else. Viac.
(22:15):
It doesn't matter. These things don'thappen in a vacuum. You think
anybody around the league and on thatteam is going to respect Brownny Come lately
coming in there acting all hard withBrian Windhorse. You think wind Horse is
gonna protect him from some angry dudefrom Prairie View, A and M in
the G League. It's gonna hanghis nuts on Ronnie's neck because he's only
(22:37):
six to one. Well, he'sgone, he's gonna earn a spot eyeing.
Now's the time he's got to work. He's gotta he's really got a
grind eyeing. What do you makeof Lebron's striking out on his three targets?
Like, imagine you're rich Paul andyou feed either no neck or the
rhino with Klay Thompson, Jonas Valanciunis, who's the rhino? Ryan, Ryan
(23:03):
Rossillo and James Arden and none ofthem signed with the Lakers. I mean,
you really got your thing in yourhand, don't you. You're really
standing there with your member just rightthere in your hand, like, hey,
look at me, like your phone? What do you make of that?
Vig? You feel pretty sun,You feel pretty stupid, wouldn't you
if you were Lebron. I'm stunned. I'm stunned that Klay Thompson didn't come
(23:26):
home. Don't do it, Claire. You don't want any part of this.
You don't want any part of thisteam. Lebron's ruined everything. You
gotta be part of the badmind.It ain't like it was. There's no
more family. Doctor Buss's dude eatsa bunch of cutthroats, get job,
(23:48):
go with Luca. I mean youwould assume his old man would say,
you know right, wouldn't you?But he didn't want to go. Hey
dad, how is it with theLakers? It's a living night? What
Clay says? He thought he hada better shot of winning a title with
Dallas kick to the nuts. Buthe's right, all right, Vic,
Well that'll be three years, fiftymillion. He had a lot more lucrative
(24:14):
offers did Klay Thompson, but hewent with less money, you know,
the three years fifty with Dallas,you know, fourth shot at his fifth
title. We can discuss this moretomorrow. Vic. Absolutely, we have
Don McClean coming on next week.I thought you would be able to engage
the opponent more on the New YorkVibe. There was an awkward silence and
then we had to stand and die. Yeah, we're for like some great
(24:37):
burrow, you know, tales fromthe Five Boroughs. Yeah, in Cosmo
Yakavazzi, my teeth and the SewerGrunfeld to be continued. I don't know
if the opponent's coming back. Youknow, we said that before, but
he came back. I couldn't believeit. He's like George Foreman, he
keeps coming back to fight, grandsDance. We'll be right back with marg

Great Sports Talk Todd McClain an emergencySports Talk Paul George has gone interview next
and what they get you doing wellme mention it. Last segment started the
show. Mark your Calendar's Friday,July nineteenth, third stop on the PMS

two weeks from this Friday, Julynineteenth, Rock and Bruise El Segundo,
all right, joining us right nowon your Southern California Toyota Diner celebrity hotline.
(25:42):
Free agency has exploded, and thoughhe truly resents, unless he's in
as a co host, coming onon a Monday, there's nothing we can
do. We're not going to beon Thursday or Friday, which is his
customary time. And this story ishot, and it's hot right now,
and we got to strike the hammerwhile the iron is hah. The leading
(26:03):
scorer in the history of the PACtwelve and UCLA. His statue stands in
Lemon Park and seem Valley. Hejust had an incredibly productive draft again with
CAA. And as the world ofbasketball turns and changes, we need the
guidance from Don McClain on am FIseventy LA Sports. Let's cracking, Don,
How are you sorry? Let's givethis a rip. I'm not sure
(26:27):
this time of year how well mybrain works on a Monday, but let's
give it a go. Come on, Don, I mean, what can
we do? I mean, youknow there's a lot of free agency.
You're our guy. You know.I mean, I wouldn't want to call
Sam Amic you know, tell us, were you surprised when Paul George made
the decision he made And what doesit mean that the Clippers didn't seem to
(26:51):
be that into bringing him back forwhat he wanted. Yeah, I'm not
surprised because if it was going toget done, it probably would have already
have been done, you know whatI mean, Like you just the longer
it went on, you just hadthis feeling that he was really going to
look hard at going somewhere else.And I think one thing that people have
to understand is this, when you'rea professional and you guys understand this.
(27:11):
When you're a professional athlete, youonly have a small window to make as
much money as you can. That'sall. You can be an NBA player
for forty years like a career,you know, so when you're talking about
an extra year, which is whyI haven't talked to them, but it
seems like it came down to thatfourth year. When you're talking about a
fourth year guaranteed at forty plus million, this deep into his career, that's
(27:37):
something that you really can't pass up. And I get it from the Clippers
standpoint of managing that cap and thiswhole second Apron thing that's going on,
you have to be able to havesome flexibility, and they just couldn't do
it with PG. But somebody elsewas willing to. And I think that
Paul and his representatives had to lookat that, and I think that's what
it ultimately came down to, ismaximizing years and dollars at the end of
(28:00):
his career, no doubt. Imean, there's no way you can blame
Paul George for taking it. Itends up what it looks like, don
and you would know better than us, but about seventy million bucks that you
know reports where it was the samedeal they offered Kawhi and he ends up
getting four for two twy. It'sa ridiculous amount of money to walk away
from. You just got to takeit. But from the Clippers side,
(28:21):
the one thing that I'm trying tofigure out, and by all means,
it appears as though the NBA hasdone what they wanted, trying to get
some more competitive balance with this secondApron stuff, and nobody wants to be
over that thing. But they werewilling to give them the three one fifty,
which would have put them clear inthat second apron for the next three
years. So I'm wondering if it'sjust that's kind of what their timeline was,
(28:41):
like, Hey, we don't wantthis thing going past twenty twenty seven,
and that's when we're going to resetthem. Trying to figure out why
they were stuck at three years anddecided to let them walk, you know
what I mean. Yeah, Iknow what you're saying, man, But
I think every every franchise projects out, you know, they don't just live
in the moment of the year.I mean some teams do. They go
all in and trade and give awayall their picks and go for it.
(29:04):
But the Clippers have kind of beenin the same realm for a while now
where they're contenders. Unfortunately, they'vehad some health in the playoffs, so
they haven't gotten it done. ButI also think they look at Kawhi and
PG their window. I mean,I think PG in three years is going
to be on year eighteen if I'mnot mistaken. And so when you're talking
about giving a guy fifty million dollarsfor his nineteen season in the NBA,
(29:26):
look, Lebron's still doing it.But Lebron's a freak and maybe the biggest
freak athlete that the NBA has everseen. And so I think that I
don't know, but I think that'spartly what it had to do with.
It's like, look, guys,we got if we can get Kawhi and
PG back, we got three yearsto try and get this thing done,
and if we can't, we're eitherstarting over, we're stripping it down,
(29:48):
or we're going in a different direction. So I have a feeling that's what
it was. But again you goback to PG side Matt like, it's
not like he's going to some crapteam for more money. Like, that's
a legitimate a team now if Ibeing can stay healthy him and Maxie like,
he's got a legitimate chance to winan NBA championship in Philadelphia. What
does it say for the Clippers,don like moving forward? What do you
(30:11):
think the sort of the idea isorganizationally going into next year? Do they
try to find multiple guys to fillwhat PG did you know so well as
just one player? Or are wegoing to maybe see trades Like how do
you envision this thing going? Well? They kind of did, I mean,
they resigned Batoomb and Derek Jones bothvery good defenders, and I think,
you know, looking at their roster, I haven't looked at it real
(30:33):
deep, but knowing what I know, I think they feel like offensively,
with Harden and Kawhi and the otherguys they have, they'll have enough offense.
It was replacing pg's defense on thewing. I think that that's what
it looked like to me that theysigned Jones and Batoom, because they are
both very good wing defenders to atleast take care of that side of the
ball. But I still think they'rea very very good team. Are they
(30:56):
a contender? Kind of need tosee how it plays out. They're certainly
not as good without PG as theywould have been had they been able to
keep them, so correct me ifI'm wrong. Gone, But apparently over
the weekend, Lebron's people said hewas willing to take a pay cut for
these certain players, and the Lakersdidn't get any of those players. So
does he not take a pay cut? How does that work? Well,
(31:19):
free agency is not over, andI haven't looked to see who's still left
as free agents, but I thinkit works. How Like you just said,
if no one's left to get wemight as well, just give him
his money because there's no one elseto give it to. I think if
he did take a little less,it might give him some flexibility, not
that they're going to ever trade Lebron, but just in terms of their cap.
(31:41):
But yeah, it's an interesting situation. And you know, it is
La it is the Lakers. Itis a little bit curious that they didn't
get any of the big free agentswhen when something like that happens, it
leaks out that Lebron wants to takea pay cut so these certain guys can
come. Is that necessary? Doesit have to leak out for it to
(32:04):
happen? Why does that leak out? What couldn't they just do that?
You know what I mean? Idon't get it. I go back years
ago, and really the only guythat's ever really taken a pay cut for
the betterment of the team, toimprove the roster is Tim Duncan. He
was a guy that at the timewas worth twenty to twenty five million,
and he took ten million a year. That's the only example I can remember
(32:29):
of a guy really taking a paycut so that they could sign other players
or trade for other players or whateverit was. And so and no one
knew about that. I didn't evenknow about it at the time. And
so, yeah, you're right.If it's really about just improving your team,
you've made gobs of money, andit's not about the money anymore.
It's about winning championships. You takea real pay cut. It's like the
(32:52):
old thing, like everybody says they'reready to take a pay cut until it's
time to actually take a paycut.And so, you know what, whether
it leaked out on purpose or not, I don't know, but it does
seem a little bit weird that heif he was willing to take a pay
cut, how they weren't able towork something out with some of these higher
profile free agent guys. Yeah,that's the part that I kind of find
(33:15):
interesting, Donna. And you know, look, Klay Thompson's going to join
a Dallas team. It was justin the NBA Finals. I get that.
But you know what Clay's connection isto the Lakers. He grew up,
you know, shooting around on thosefloors before and after basketball games.
He and Kobe were close. Hisdad still works for the team. Lebron
apparently reached out to him to pitchhim on coming down to join him.
(33:35):
In La. He turns him down. We knew James Harden got way too
much money for the Lakers to beable to afford him. And then the
third name on there is the onethat I'm really scratching my head, Jonas
Valanciunas, and he takes a threeyear deal in Washington, a team that
won fifteen games last year. I'mjust wondering, you know, before the
Lakers were a destination for guys likeRick Fox and Robert Or and Brian Shaw
and like just man they got arethey going to get shut out? You
(33:58):
think, is it not as desirableas we think think it is? Well,
it certainly seems that way right now. The one thing I would say,
and we've talked about this, Ihappen to think that JJ Reddick's going
to become a very good coach.But there's unknown and I think Klay Thompson,
this deep into his career, islooking at it going well, I
look at the roster, but yougot a guy that's coaching that's never coached
(34:20):
before. I'm not going to playfor very much longer. I'm joining a
team that was in the finals lastyear, have one of the best five
players in the league, on myteam, and so that gives me a
real chance to win another championship.And so I don't think it's so much
that you know, the Lakers aren'tdesirable, but I think the guy like
Klay Thompson, this deepened his careeris like, look, I got to
win now, and we don't knowhow good JJ Reddick's going to be,
(34:44):
We don't know if Anthony Davis isgoing to stay healthy. This is a
better chance for me to try andwin a championship right now. How tough
is it? Like when you justlook at the way this thing stacked up?
You said it, I mean,Paul, George, Maxi and mbid.
We know what Boston has in theirBig three, and that just the
fact that I know Hart and Steinis not somebody that everybody knows. But
(35:05):
you add that to that young coreof Oklahoma Steins, Like where how I'm
looking at the Lakers and Clippers goinghow do you fit into these? You
know, to Denver in Dallas andMinnesota and Oklahoma City, it looks like
they're just yeah, they're not inthat same you know, top tier category.
Well everything cycles, you know,it does in pro sports and in
(35:28):
the NBA, and you know,it feels like the Lakers and Clippers are
at the end of this cycle wherethey had a chance to win, or
still do have a chance to win, but they haven't built it up like
the thunder hat like that. Youknow. Look, everybody including me,
was was taking shots at Minnesota whenthey gave away all those picks for Gobert.
Well it turns out, you know, they didn't win it this year,
(35:49):
but they're a lot better than theywere three four years ago. And
so you know, it's a caseby case basis. But I just think
that the Clippers, you know,they were right there for five years with
Kawhi and PG. They just unfortunatelycould not stay healthy in the playoffs.
And I think if they had,they might have broken through one of those
years. And but these younger teams, they build through the draft, guys
(36:14):
get better. You make trades foryoung guys that in a bigger role,
in a better role on this newteam. They've thrived like she Kildess,
Alexander, those type of guys.And so that's where it's at right now,
and it'll be interesting to see onceonce the season starts, how all
this kind of plays out. Sharpas a pirate Scabbard, the Great Don
McClain, Ladies and gentlemen, there'snobody better. We appreciated Don. Thank

see if Jenna is willing to coughup one of those those VIP cards.

They would abuse the hell out,not like people like us, the well
(39:22):
heeled exactly. Imagine they got intothe wrong hands. Yeah, they'd go
every day. I used mine inRedondo and I said, hey, check
this out, get a load ofthis. And what do they say?
They're like, oh, let mecheck, And I was like check,

weekend? So Matt, you seemto be out and about. Yeah,
(40:05):
it was out a lot this weekend. Surfed early am Saturday, dog park
day for Willow the Dog for anhour or so. Preston played a private
beach party on the strand for well, wasn't private actually, it's public public
beach party for Ron and his beachparty. Uh had a piece of night
at the Minthers. They have anoutdoor pizza oven that we were treated to.
(40:29):
I ate too much. I dranksome IPAs that were a little too
heavy, rode my bike home andI think I might have been inside the
house for forty five seconds before Ipassed that. Okay, it was a
little bit too heavy. So wereyou drunk? I think it was just
a lot, okay, And Ithink the pizza combined with a couple of
little staggered a couple of those sixteenouns like nine percenters. Yes, definitely
(40:50):
knocked me out. You just putyourself to sleep pretty much. Yeah,
exactly. Kate uh Sunday had agreat morning. Our old friend he joined
us at the HQ summer or stopped. Rocky McKinnon asked if a couple of
us could pitch in. He runsa surf school in Huntington, but had
his Veterans Appreciation Day, So alot of vets at the HQ at the
right across from where the HQ was. We've been there before Veterans Day,
(41:14):
getting them out in the water andgot some big guys that he recruited Samoa
Joe. You met Joe, longtimefootball player. Coach Tyler plays water polo,
played water polo at UCLA and meand when't you know it, trying
to help people out and pick himup, make sure they don't fall,
and got a seventy five year oldVietnam vet ogi. Wonderful guy was hanging
(41:38):
out with him on the sand andheld him up as he kind of came
to the end of his belly rideon the board there and I thought his
feet were under him because we werechatting and I kind of had him held
up and then next thing I know, you dropped an old man. I
assumed he was standing and I kindof braced him as I lifted him up
(41:59):
on board, like the end ofthe Lebowski, like this guy walks dead
weight and as he fell, Iyou heard everyone go oh no, and
I was like, great, I'veruined it. Oh god, Yeah,
I mean I felt terrible. Youknow, you try to do some good
and you end up looking like theworst guy to be and everyone's like,
hey, it's I saw what's goingon. You had him? It was
totally fine. You know when everyone'sconsoling you, you're like, oh,
(42:20):
I really f this up. Thisis not good. I've seen a lot
of spinals and nom this guy walks. Yeah. So that was that was
unfortunate, But kudos to Rocky McKinnonfor aving ten fifteen vet's out. I
tried my best. I felt likeI had a positive man able to get
back up? Or did they gurneyhim out? He got back up?
(42:42):
Okay, all right, well that'sgood. We were chatting. I helped
him get his wetsuit off. Whenwe got out of the water, he
said he was fine. He waslike, I was totally fine. But
I just felt like after that,everybody was kind of looking at me like
who brought this clown? A lotof donkeys in the water. I was
the dog dropped an old man.That was me, a bitch, and
I was trying to make up forwardafter that, I was like super involved,
(43:06):
hard people down, and now you'retrying to make the MVP make up
for it. But it doesn't.It was too late, and it was
just too late. You think it'sworse than when Madonna was like get up
out of your chair and dance.That first was in a wheelchair. It
was worse than that. It waswhen I had him and he just fell
forward, and so I was onhis back as he fell forward, and
I was like, oh God,look at this gold bricker. Dude pretended
(43:29):
to be a cripple. I waslike, son up a bitch, Come
on, this guy walks the wonderfulguy too. We're having a great conversation.
His legs just they were noodly orsomething. I think he just assumed
I was gonna carry maybe put himback on the board. No, I
think he probably thought I was goingto put him right back on the board
and push him back out for anotherwave, because that's what we did the
(43:49):
last time through. You were done, and I was like coming up.
You were coming up to get himModello. All right, Kates, didn't
you drop an old cripple? Uhno, in the water. We would
never do that. No, I'mterrible. You know what old an old
Vietnam vecuum drown and like two inchesa walk. Oh jeez. I drowned
my sorrows Friday night into a coupleof Margarita's at Don Cucos after the show,
(44:15):
got home about eight thirty into Burbankand met the wife at Don Cuco's
for dinner and drinks. Oh yeah, and then people getting mad, Hi,
Tim, where are you? It'sme the morning, wondering where you've
been waiting. They can't be mad. We were just there a few days
before that. So it's a balancingact. Guys, it's really hard.
(44:38):
Oh jeez, we'll come back.Who goes, We'll come back. Jeez.
H Saturday night, myself, mywife, the Everetts, and the
Simmons. There were three of uscouples. We went to the San Fernando

people at a place that holds seventyfive. The fire marshall came in from
Glendelle Fire Department and told him nomore. There was a on the door,
bro, no for you, bro. But he walked around with shots
