1:40

and. Denver. Nuggets. Get.

1:42

It taken to them. By. The

1:44

Minnesota Timberwolves will talk about that game

1:46

as it's happening as well, but welcome

1:49

and to all of you adjoining. Now

1:51

we got a lot to talk about,

1:53

both in the Lakers sphere of things

1:55

as well as outside. Now we are.

1:57

A. Bit late, right? Our. Today's

2:00

show had a few technical difficulties just

2:02

get things going but now. Here.

2:04

We are. We're. Often run and I'm

2:06

gonna make sure that I'm tab. This.

2:09

Wolves Nuggets game. Go.

2:11

In here when that does return. Were at half time

2:13

right now. And. My goodness,

2:15

My. God I said the wolves were going to win.

2:17

The series of a diaper was not as impressive as I

2:20

expected to be against the Lakers. I. Thought

2:22

the wolves were going to win the series or that there

2:24

were going to win And six? That was my prediction. Go

2:26

in a but good lord. If the wolves

2:28

hang on here. And they were

2:30

both games in Denver. How.

2:33

Demoralizing as I gotta be. For.

2:35

The reigning champs. Sixty.

2:37

One to thirty five at half time

2:39

of the Wolves hold the Nuggets to

2:41

just fifteen points in the second quarter

2:43

after they put up twenty. In.

2:45

The first quarter and. And.

2:48

That's with out. Rudy. Go

2:51

Bear. With. Out to bear.

2:53

The. Wolves difference is doing this. Oh.

2:55

My goodness, What?

2:57

Is happening Denver. Did

3:00

I mean is alarm bells should be

3:02

ringing? For. That evernote their big

3:04

big trouble right now dental comeback in

3:07

the second half. Of.

3:10

Your. Nose or I don't really care much about the

3:12

Denver Nuggets. I don't see them as this or

3:14

the a rival or anything like that. But

3:17

we've had a new and be a champion for

3:19

five years running. A. Wolves

3:21

when here would. Mean. That we're probably going

3:23

to see it again. For. Another year. But.

3:25

This would seem they're awful good, awful good,

3:28

right? We've gotta talk Lakers. Of course that's

3:30

going to be or focus as a settlement

3:32

of one. I odd the wolves air that

3:34

Nuggets game will give some updates on that

3:36

as it's happening are but plenty of things

3:38

going on in the Lakers sphere to talk

3:40

about, read our Lakers lay and we've got

3:42

a lot of stuff going on and that

3:45

is. Before. I got diving over everything.

Lakers. Obviously we've got a lot going on

4:04

in terms of free agency, the draft, the

4:06

trade, but I think this can be the

4:09

biggest ones. The trade market for the Los

4:29

nuggets down. thirty. L M

4:31

A Oh yeah right. right?

4:34

I mean, I'm not. That.

4:36

A sad. Say. That.

4:39

It it's skin and target struggle like

4:42

this after they took ado. Let's face

4:44

it. They. They said the

4:46

Lakers home two years in a row. Give them credit.

4:48

I thought they were deserving champion. I still think they're

4:50

very good basketball team and I'm not count them out

4:53

right now. But. Yeah.

4:56

If you're Denver fan right now. You,

4:58

you should be worried. You sure if they

5:00

don't come back in the second half of this game? Should.

5:03

Be very worried her. Ah,

5:05

Michael C. Nuggets pack

5:07

going up there. No.

5:10

Kitten. The. Defence of the Was

5:12

is unreal. Fernando.

5:15

Said hammer going to Europe for coaches.

5:18

Ah Gordon Herbert Germany's coach seems very

5:20

good so I looked I will be.

5:23

Brutally honest year with this and I

5:25

I would tell you guys. Were.

5:28

You as know my strengths right? We all

5:30

have different strengths, weaknesses and or in our

5:32

analysis. Son is great.

5:34

With. The Exes notes, right? That's that's his thing.

5:36

It's breaking down the x's and o's of what's

5:39

happening on the floor. My strength

5:41

is more a salary cap and a narrative

5:43

structure. I can break things down from cap

5:45

perspective but also tend to look at things

5:47

because my background and in history from an

5:50

overall big picture. Historical sense that's

5:52

candidate the lens that I look at

5:54

things through. Everybody has their ways that

5:56

they break everything down. I

5:58

will admit, I don't know much. International coaches

6:00

I think you know what in

6:03

general. It gen one of

6:05

the most difficult things to do. is

6:08

to analyze a coach because so

6:10

much of what coaching his. Takes.

6:12

Place behind closed doors, right? So much of what

6:14

we don't see Sore Target about. What?

6:17

Is my goodness or as a coach? What

6:19

is Kenny Atkinson as a coach? Whoop! We.

6:21

Can go off of what we see on the

6:24

floor, the X's and o's We can go off

6:26

of what we see on Tv. We can go

6:28

off of how they act in press conferences and

6:30

all this stuff is certainly important, but. What

6:32

do they like? Inside practices Those are typically

6:34

closed door. What's. Happening that. What is

6:37

that dynamic look like? How are they just and

6:39

day to day interactions? What does a film sessions

6:41

look like? Those are things that with the one

6:43

I can have access to. So.

6:45

It can be difficult knowing with

6:47

certainty exactly what a coach is.

6:49

And what a coach is Not an

6:51

and especially be true when we're looking at

6:54

a guy who hasn't coached. Obviously Specifically I'm

6:56

talking about Jj Redick Sue the studio cat.

6:59

Second, Any or wanted to pop and

7:01

say hi to everybody so that can be

7:03

true. To like this is. It's

7:06

a challenge. To. With

7:08

certainty say what a coach is

7:11

or isn't players on the floor.

7:13

We. Can see every minute they play. We can

7:15

break down how the react to different situations we

7:17

could find with their best spots or the floor

7:19

with the bus. Plays are bus matchups, bus play

7:21

style, other kind of stuff. Coaches.

7:24

It's a little bit. Ah,

7:26

A little bit more of an unknown.

7:29

Pay. So. In this

7:31

whole conversation about coaches. You're.

7:33

Going to get people that are going to say definitively

7:35

this is the guy This guy no matter what. every

7:37

you're crazy we say anybody else. And.

7:40

I think that's hard without being in the

7:42

locker room without knowing exactly what goes on

7:44

behind closed doors. That it's an extra challenge

7:46

more trying to evaluate who would be a

7:49

good good coach who wouldn't their stop for

7:51

a Pluses and minuses: Pros and cons we

7:53

can get into but. There

7:55

is some difficulty when he we're evaluating.

8:00

Isn't that? Ah,

8:02

Mama do. What? Do

8:04

you think about David Out of? Yeah? Look, I

8:06

think in general and I think David out of

8:08

Minister is very well respected. Easy a name that

8:11

we've heard quite a bit. right?

8:13

Now we're hearing a big five. Five.

8:15

Names right? That's what we're hearing. A Charles

8:17

Lee is the assistant coach that we're hearing.

8:19

Hi Lou is the pie in the sky.

8:22

Please. Basketball gods make the clippers did rid of

8:24

of right? Which doesn't sound like it's going to go

8:26

that way. Then. You've got Kenny

8:29

Atkinson, my goodness, are both kind of the

8:31

retreads, both with their own pluses and minuses.

8:33

All of that. right? And

8:35

then. You've got. A

8:37

A Jj Redick who's like the wildcard

8:40

we don't know what he it's. We're.

8:42

Know what? Jj redick as. We. Don't

8:44

know if he is. A great

8:47

coach. A terrible go somewhere between two

8:49

Welker, right? The has been a coach

8:51

for so those the big vibrant out

8:53

but. Etc. This a lot. As

8:56

studios do is. Holding. Onto

8:58

my arm for some reason, maybe for

9:00

strength for solidarity here as we're talking

9:02

oats. it's. As

9:04

you guys who could see, I'm using it

9:07

on ah. With

9:10

these guys. I think the

9:12

list needs to be more than five. I'm.

9:15

A big big believer in casting a wide net.

9:17

And. That means interview David are adamant of.

9:19

That means interviewing a bunch of other

9:21

guys. Great. Do it! Interview

9:24

as many people as you

9:26

feel necessary. Doesn't. Hurt.

9:28

To. Go through the interview process, you may

9:31

find something that you didn't otherwise. So

9:33

I think that's the important part people

9:35

brought Mark Jackson. Would he be my

9:37

first choice? No, probably not. But interview

9:39

on absolutely Interviewing people say Jeff Van

9:41

Gundy. No, I don't want to interview

9:43

him. Here. Of you're right, It's.

9:46

Not gonna hurt you to go through the

9:48

interview process with some of these guys. I

9:50

that's what I've made Cast a wide net.

9:52

interviews many people as you think are realistically

9:54

possible and then go from there. That's why

9:56

when names like Jason Kidd pop up people

9:58

go. is never leaving them. If you tie,

10:00

Lou pops up his number, leaving the Clippers.

10:03

Who cares? So. What? says.

10:05

Part of the whole process does were testing a wide

10:07

net. Is all about. May.

10:10

Take some shots, some of them, you know, probably are

10:12

going to pan out some of them, you know, is

10:14

guys probably not can be available. Why?

10:16

Not find out. What? Does it hurt? My.

10:19

Going hurting. Go. Find

10:21

out. Our

10:24

troops are said. I want Mike Boon

10:26

Holzer. He's a championship coach. Will indeed.

10:29

He. Wanted to be a job egypt. There's.

10:31

Truth to that, you wouldn't say budget with the

10:33

Milwaukee Bucks. I think it's also important to remember

10:35

and I'm not saying this makes I'm not the

10:37

choice. Oh years of wolves fast break my conley.

10:39

My colleague could have been a laker by the

10:41

way. in the the Edwards hold the ball back

10:43

out my good news or the great things. We

10:45

have to remember that he was on the verge

10:47

being fired. Instill he won a

10:49

championship he was not going to stick around as

10:51

the box had court coach and then you want

10:53

to championship and that. Bought. Him, but

10:56

of a reprieve, right? That. Said

10:58

he is a championship Had picked. But.

11:00

The other downside is he just darvon

11:03

him. Senior. Because. Diving

11:05

comes from that coaching tree. So. Are you

11:07

going to get similar sets indexed? I will say that

11:09

in terms of the exes knows on the floor at

11:11

least on the office. When I don't feel like that

11:14

was a problem with our been him it was more

11:16

roster choices I should like. A lot of the sub

11:18

darwinian was doing offensively. Defensively,

11:20

We can. Discuss whether or

11:22

not leaving the other teams worst shooter open

11:25

all the time is a great idea. We

11:27

saw some games without Burned them. Marcus Smart

11:29

burned them Dante Exum. Burn them, Draymond Green

11:31

Burn them. These guys. the Lakers scheme dope

11:34

and we can certainly question that but know

11:36

what? trip up Darwin was more. His.

11:38

Rotations: The players who was choosing to be in

11:40

the starting line up ah be losing the locker

11:42

room with some of that kind of stuff. It

11:45

with the communication issues wasn't so much

11:47

what he was doing on the floor

11:49

scheme wise, except we can question perhaps

11:52

the defensive schemes so. Is. My

11:54

couldn't holes are just gonna run the same schemes

11:56

that Darwin handed kids. They're same from the same

11:58

coaching tree and again, maybe. Ignore the doesn't

12:00

have the communication issues the durban had or

12:03

the other stuff. But. It's

12:05

it's a fair thing to be

12:07

concerned about. Like. If you're going

12:09

to bring in my goodness, or. Is

12:11

that all that different? Than. What

12:13

you just had in Durban: Him: A: It's a

12:15

fair question. Ah, Ryan.

12:19

Said what contract sir? should Max Christie

12:22

get? Amount and years of this? A

12:24

great question. So Max Christie. And.

12:26

Let me pull up. The Lakers

12:28

salary cap sheets. And let me

12:30

tell you guys. This,

12:33

this kind of stuff becomes even more important

12:35

to stymie your that. In.

12:37

Terms of the salary caps kept stuff.

12:40

Ah, Spa Track does an incredible

12:42

job and I don't say that

12:44

just because my guy Keysmith front

12:46

office show co host. Ah,

12:48

Works for Spot Track. He's. Putting.

12:51

Together all of this stuff and I'll be making

12:53

sure this is all. This is all correct. But

12:56

it really is a very valuable resource and I'd recommend

12:58

would. You guys are trying to look up starved for

13:00

trying to figure out it's you know who's got what

13:02

salary, were trying to put together trades and soft spot.

13:05

Track is a great resource and what I love and

13:07

he has got to see on the screen right now.

13:10

Are. Those you were watching the video version of

13:12

this. My

13:14

god the Jamal Murray really throw a he packed onto the

13:16

court? That happened.

13:19

In. The is going to look at that. Sorry, that's

13:21

a. Another topic I know

13:23

but my goodness for what I love about

13:25

spots like is it shows you the percentage

13:27

of the cap that's being taken up by

13:30

that salary so that I think is more

13:32

more important because it takes away some a

13:34

sticker shock. Of. As

13:36

the top rise as you go. Oh my gosh,

13:39

the So and so is. Ah,

13:41

Is. Easy just making so much money. Have

13:43

any go away. The cap went up a

13:46

time because you're comparing. It's a salaries from

13:48

years ago or it's a Max Christie. Restricted.

13:50

Free agent has a two point three

13:53

million dollar cap hold. Severe. The

13:55

Lakers. There's no reason not to make him restricted

13:57

to point three million dollars. Not going to break

13:59

the bank or. We got. Not going to

14:01

make the difference for you're pursuing somebody else.

14:04

If I'm the Lakers I use Just like

14:06

with Austin Reeves, I use that restricted free

14:08

agency to my advantage. I. Don't

14:10

think he's gonna get Austin Reeves money. At

14:12

the Grass Should have played more with the Lakers that he

14:14

did. But. The. Fact

14:17

that he didn't. Might. Actually help you

14:19

a little bit in the free agency portion of it.

14:21

I've had people asked, do you think the Lakers did

14:23

that on purpose to keep his price tag down? Know.

14:25

If. The Lakers were doing that on purpose

14:28

to keep his price tag. Doubt it

14:30

would do irreparable damage to their organization

14:32

to their future free agent To the

14:34

reputation around the A Ba. They.

14:36

Would be the risk is not worth

14:39

the read reward on purpose sitting a

14:41

good player for their sole reason of

14:43

trying to deflate their value in free

14:46

agency. If that was

14:48

proven to be through. The

14:50

damage would be horrific. Suit.

14:52

To the Organization. So now I do not think that's what

14:55

they were doing. I've had a number of people bring that

14:57

up, but. Max. If

14:59

I'm the Lakers. I'm sending

15:01

him to as many years as I can

15:03

if I max. I'm. Wanting maybe a

15:05

couple years, I want to hit free agency again

15:07

soon. But. Of and the Lakers. I want

15:09

to for your deal if I can get it. At

15:12

a viewer able to do something like. Twenty.

15:15

Five. Twenty. Five million?

15:18

Something like that. Five. Million a

15:20

season. For. Talk. and ah, if

15:22

we're talking with some raises, put in

15:24

their starting salary of maybe four and

15:26

a half. And you wind up somewhere

15:28

around at all. My calculator up somewhere around that twenty

15:30

five million mark. I'd

15:32

be. I'd be up to that. Idea

15:35

that we're talking about taxpayer mid level money. You.

15:37

Can get that from accessing for sure. You

15:40

do that. I'd be willing to go

15:42

a bit higher with the to. But. Again, he so

15:44

much of an unknown felt like he shot a

15:46

great percentage from three. I just think his skillset.

15:49

Is. Fantastic in a perfect fit for this Lakers team.

15:51

So if I have an opportunity to lock him up

15:53

long term, I'm doing it while

15:55

I can. I'm. Doing a while I

15:57

can. There's. A nice take way.

16:00

The Edwards I know. chat you guys you see in it.

16:03

You guys are Say it. it. Oh.

16:05

My goodness, Minnesota. Notice.

16:09

So. Good. They're.

16:11

So good. Oh

16:14

it's not that, are it? Was.

16:16

Good too. You more these. Were

16:21

driven by the search for better. Or

16:23

when it comes to hiring, the best

16:25

way to search for a candidate isn't

16:28

a search it off. Don't search match

16:30

with? indeed indeed is your magic in

16:32

hiring platform With over three hundred and

16:34

fifty million global monthly visitors according to

16:37

Indy data and a match against In

16:39

Ah, Nominees said. You

18:00

see, Ah now reads depends on joke it's

18:02

that's why skilled big man rather than just

18:04

a big body is needed. Also.

18:07

What do ya think about? Nate Mcmillan is a head coach?

18:09

Okay. So. Nice. Read

18:11

that there's a reason why he

18:13

was the top of my list.

18:16

Top. Of my list. In Free Agent

18:18

Targets for the Lakers last year. If you remember

18:20

you know the off season. What I do The

18:22

ideal off season. I break down different paths. The

18:24

Lakers can go down different free agents. They can

18:26

target. If they go after this guy, they pay

18:28

Amex about what's the domino effect of from that.

18:31

What does that mean for the rest? The roster.

18:33

Both I love this time year. I loved it

18:35

and all that kind of stuff. You guys know

18:37

that. so. Not read was the top

18:39

my list. He. Was number one analyst at

18:41

Idle for the Wolves at all. The wolves were

18:44

very smart in making sure that he didn't get

18:46

the free agency the game an extension at a

18:48

little bit above the mid level. Knowing

18:50

that most teams would offer him there for

18:53

mid level, they said hey, not everybody's going

18:55

onto the mid level would you Be a

18:57

little bit more than that? The sign that

18:59

contract right now and don't even test free

19:01

agency. And. He. Said deal.

19:04

He would have been a great fit on this Lakers

19:07

team. He can only imagine the domino effect if it

19:09

was not read and purple and gold. Instead.

19:11

Of gave Vincent and again I still think there's

19:13

a lot of basketball left and Davidson, but there's

19:15

no question it was a disappointing season four am

19:17

rather be to spend most of the season injured

19:19

so. Unfortunately not written test free

19:21

agency stayed with wolves. The wolves made smart move

19:24

and he has tremendous As far as bit is

19:26

needing a skilled big man rather than just a

19:28

big body. The. Challenges

19:30

having find that. Where'd

19:32

you find that? And where do you find that at

19:34

a price the Lakers can pay? Specifically If we're not

19:36

talking about afraid of were talking about somebody you're going

19:39

out from free agency. The Lakers are going to have.

19:41

Maybe a taxpayer mid level which is like

19:44

five million bucks. Maybe.

19:47

Maybe. If. Dealer

19:49

walks away. Le Bron took a bunch

19:51

last, which I'm not expecting to happen.

19:54

That. I guess you get a full mid level like

19:57

twelve million. Are you getting a skilled big men. For.

19:59

That. You're. Allowed. To.

20:02

Can be tough I did. You may have to.

20:05

Are either stay in the draft of you want that

20:07

big man because there's gonna be some big to the

20:09

draft At seventeen. Most. Likely we're probably

20:11

talking trade the probably have to go try to

20:13

trade for that big. it's not easy to find

20:15

a skill big man degree weather can shoot and

20:17

I target of the podcast a little bit the

20:20

what out this morning. The. Challenges.

20:23

If you're going to get another big that, you're going

20:25

to pay a lot of money to twenty million plus.

20:28

You. Better be sure that they can play alongside

20:30

a three day was that means they can shoot

20:32

the three they give you some besides that sort

20:34

of thing. Because. Those kind of

20:36

guys are really hard to find. You're

20:38

gonna get another big and pay them

20:41

starter money. They need to

20:43

be able to shoot the three. Because. If

20:45

it it aims isn't doing today more. Than.

20:47

At the level that he needs to. So.

20:49

Finding. That guy is much easier said

20:52

than done. Now. One guy that's

20:54

interesting that could be out there. Ah,

20:56

neglect boost but. He.

20:58

Might be available on the market. You

21:00

consider him. Not. That

21:02

he's a great rim protector is certainly not that

21:04

he's a great defensive player, but also you're probably

21:07

not going to find anybody. The checks all the

21:09

boxes that can defend. I can. Good

21:11

lord the walls are up. Thirty two that could

21:13

decide the computer. Three, the can rebound. I can

21:15

do all that stuff. That's. In your price

21:17

range that can be really tough to

21:19

do so. Finding that skill Big bad.

21:21

It's much easier to decide to big

21:23

body than to find that skill big

21:25

Man first name again. My. Thought.

21:28

Is interview him. Interviewing

21:30

for sure. But. I

21:32

would be. Surprised. If that's

21:35

all it, Pat the Lakers go down. I think he's a

21:37

name that would have popped up already. That was the way

21:39

they were gonna go. Now I will say this. If.

21:41

The Lakers are dead set and I think they should

21:43

be. If they're determined, To

21:46

have some. Head. Coaching

21:48

experience on their bench, Specially.

21:51

If you hired to if you are Jj redick

21:53

a prerequisite should be the you have multiple former

21:56

and be i had coaches on the bench with

21:58

you. That should be a pre rec. That. And

22:01

a general not in favor

22:03

of forcing coaches to pick

22:06

certain sees me. Pick.

22:08

Certain assistance. But. With.

22:11

A guy like Jj that has no experience with you have to.

22:16

So. I. A

22:18

guy like Nate Mcmillan. Maybe.

22:20

He could be a great vet. If you get a recovering

22:22

to be an assistant for somebody Me: that's what Frank Vogel

22:24

is going to be. He was going to be the assistant

22:27

for Tyler. For the Lakers fumbled.

22:29

On the one yard line. Or

22:34

tyler. Said. How about the

22:36

Timber Wolves? Assistant Coach Mike and Norris? Yeah, no,

22:38

that's one where because the Wolves are playing right

22:40

now. It. Might be top getting an interview

22:43

and wolves up thirty as of look at it.

22:45

This was a Jamal Murray that breed the like.

22:47

A. That's. One that you could do.

22:49

You could try as of the, but it might

22:52

be difficult given that he's in the playoffs right

22:54

now trying to schedule an interview general. That kind

22:56

of stuff that I think the Lakers right now

22:58

have an advantage will suit the Sun's you're going

23:00

to do with Frank Vogel, But right now like

23:03

they're the best job on the market, right? Like

23:05

it's not the Hornets, it's. The. Lakers.

23:07

So. You'd. You gotta

23:09

have a job because it's always possible. Some

23:11

of these teams as their seasons and they

23:13

could move on from their coaches. Now most

23:15

of the playoff teams are still standing right

23:18

now. Like now that Jason Kidd is getting

23:20

the got a substantial with the Dallas Mavericks,

23:22

they're probably sticking with their with their head

23:24

coaches. That's probably what we're going to see.

23:27

Happen. I don't think we're Carlyle's moving on

23:29

from Indiana any time soon are the Knicks

23:31

are not going to replace Tom Thibodeau, but

23:33

just in general, league business starts to slow

23:36

down as more and more teams get eliminated.

23:38

I've and more teams can look to the

23:40

future. So if you're the Lakers right now,

23:42

I'm. Trying. To jump start this process

23:44

just in case anybody else is gonna come onto

23:46

the market. Terms. Of searching for a coach.

23:50

Sunny. Said. Not really would

23:52

have been a difference. maker of you're able to acquire

23:54

him would are really been a difference. Oh yeah. Sunny.

23:57

One hundred percent. Those. Would have been

23:59

great. He. Would be. I mean. Perfect.

24:03

You know what? I'll tell you what I love about

24:05

now says game. Is. His ability

24:07

to put the ball on the back, on

24:09

the floor and attack the basket. In addition

24:11

to do the big man thanks reading blocking

24:14

shots, he can be a physical presence. Is

24:16

he the biggest, most physical guy in the

24:18

paint know? But. He's more

24:20

agile. That. Most guys his size

24:22

are so he can hit the three but

24:24

he can also attacked the close out and

24:27

he finishes ferociously at the rim. There is.

24:29

A little bit. A

24:31

little bit. not. Not. An

24:33

exact translation. But

24:35

he's got a little bit of a Lamar

24:37

Odom vibe, the way that he can put

24:40

the ball on the floor and kind of

24:42

glide to the rim. again, not a direct

24:44

comparison. There's a lot of differences between the

24:46

two games, but in terms of being the

24:48

third big rotation and having that ability to

24:50

attack off the dribble when need be. It's.

24:53

It's such a luxury the have a big they

24:55

can do the sorts of things. Such a luxury.

25:03

Ah, let's go here. Why

25:05

starts not getting an image of bread coaches literally

25:08

would have the best options and is not can

25:10

imagine so I would hesitate. To.

25:13

Be. Too concerned with somebody not

25:15

getting mentioned. And. Just assume that

25:17

they're not getting a look. We're so

25:19

early in this process still. I. Mean

25:21

yeah, there's like five names out there. I know. I

25:24

guarantee of are not the only five names are looking at.

25:27

So. Just

25:29

because. Starts. Isn't being

25:31

mentioned now. That.

25:33

Doesn't mean that he's not going to be mentioned. In

25:36

the future. In fact, as I recall, That.

25:38

We go back and looked but I'm pretty

25:40

sure. The. Lakers interviewed him.

25:43

When. They ultimately hard divert him that he was one of

25:45

the names that was in the mix Then. Know

25:47

obviously Starts Started the season last year with

25:50

the box. Didn't even make it to the

25:52

season opener because he had age and Griffin

25:54

didn't see eye to eye. And.

25:56

That fell apart and then he got dismissed.

25:59

As thoughts. It and then later on it you're

26:01

giving out. dismissed So. I. I

26:03

don't know what followed was role that. This.

26:05

Terry starts want to be a had Katrina? Where's

26:07

he at in his thought process? That kind of

26:10

stuff can matter to. You. Know

26:12

when you get these guys who have been coaches before

26:14

have been head coaches. They know the stress the comes

26:16

with it and you look at his Lakers job it

26:18

might be the most difficult job in the and be

26:20

a it might be the most difficult job and sports.

26:23

We. Know we're unforgiving. We.

26:25

Know we are. right? Were.

26:28

Unforgiving with these with. Lakers

26:30

nice words: Hop On cuts his

26:32

It's annoying that across sports coaches

26:34

take probably an outsourced are outside

26:37

portion of the blame. They.

26:39

Just they do that. Sports. But.

26:43

The spotlight of the Lakers

26:45

starving him. complaining. Your Why

26:47

do we have to live and die with every

26:49

game? Cause that's what makes the Lakers great. That's

26:51

what makes Lakers nation great. I don't. You can't

26:53

criticize Laker fans for that. Doesn't

26:56

make his daddy's you that. Doesn't.

26:58

Messages his job easy. It's.

27:01

Made an easy to him. For

27:03

some coaches. That spotlight.

27:06

That. Pressure. They're

27:08

going to look at and they're going to go out. That's

27:10

that's really not for me and that's okay. Look

27:13

Coby said. Com. He

27:15

said he has. Member Coby said. This

27:17

isn't for everybody. Being. A Lakers

27:19

not for everybody. And is

27:22

right. That.

27:24

Beating a dead. Guy

27:26

be the right guy and look. That

27:29

is. My. Overall point with

27:31

all these coaching search things. Get

27:34

erect, Whoever

27:36

the Lakers pack. I'm. Not

27:39

going to sit up your on my high horse and say

27:41

they got a writer The gotta wrong. If

27:43

they believe Jj, Redick is the guy. Okay,

27:47

Okay, I'm not it. I'm not in the interview. I.

27:49

Don't know what Jj thinks in terms. I've

27:52

been sides in a watching his podcast and

27:54

stuff like that. I don't know. All.

27:56

Of judges basketball philosophies, I don't know how is going to

27:58

handle a lot of them. I

28:00

don't know exactly what my garden hose are gonna

28:03

do. Kenny Atkinson. What? Are these guys

28:05

like behind closed doors? There's

28:07

something that seems you're going to be privy

28:09

to that. We're. Not. Whoever.

28:13

They pick. Whoever. It is. They.

28:16

Just have to get a right. There's been too much turnover.

28:19

Too much turnover at the head coach spot for

28:21

the Lakers and I do to do not blame

28:23

them for moving on from Carbon him. I

28:25

don't blame the ball. I think that was decision

28:27

that had to be made. It

28:30

it sinks. Because I wanted Darvin to

28:32

be successful successful, I wanted Darvin to be the

28:34

head coach the the Lakers next ten years Older

28:36

Things to go so well. Said. He

28:38

became the guy. That

28:41

it didn't go that way. At

28:43

not the way. It. Happened.

28:46

And I think the Lakers made the right choice. I

28:48

think they made the right choice to move on when they did, They.

28:51

Were kind of put a spot where they had to. New.

28:53

Look at the way everything was playing out,

28:55

the things that were being said, the stories

28:58

about how the relationships were developing behind closed

29:00

doors. None of it's good. That

29:02

of it's good. It's so they made the choice they had to

29:05

put. I wanted Darvin. I want to dive into work. Whoever

29:08

this next guy is. It's a work.

29:11

For our. Guy or.

29:14

Girl. Becky Hammon. Should.

29:17

See did. Considered. Then.

29:22

Again, No

29:25

stone unturned. Cast: A

29:27

wide net. Let's go. Off

29:31

lack of this. Are

29:37

as that I watch the game Seven Two

29:39

thousand playoff game against the Blazers today. Ah

29:41

what a game! Where. Incredible game

29:43

that last coby to shock. I remember

29:46

losing my mind in that moment when

29:48

that happened. Oh my gosh, So.

29:51

Melee eighteen year old me just going

29:53

crazy at that time of. It.

29:55

Almost looks like a different sport.on that when you go

29:57

back and look and stuff from like two thousand and.

30:00

Looks like a difference for the tigers. I was

30:02

watching some highlights earlier today from our twenty ten.

30:04

Game. Seven. Every. Once in

30:06

awhile I like gone back and look at that stuff like that.

30:10

All. right? Let's go here. Ah

30:13

hey Trevor, What happened? Alvin Gentry thoughts on him

30:15

as a possible head coach assistant coach on Stop

30:17

you know? Album was really good for a while.

30:20

I'll be honest, I don't know where he's at

30:22

right now. See. Assistant coaching

30:24

somewhere. Ah,

30:28

Always executive with the Kings. That's

30:30

what he did. He move from the coaching

30:32

role in Sacramento into an executive role. so.

30:35

Alvin Gentry for why was pretty good memory

30:37

was a sons coach for a bit after

30:39

it post and Tony and and kept them

30:41

Roland. Alvin Gentry, a

30:43

good coach. I

30:45

can tell me like. I look

30:48

at what Brad Stevens did. A

30:50

liquid Brad Stevens said moving from a

30:52

sideline into. An executive

30:55

position? And you think

30:57

about. All. The pressure. All.

30:59

The Travel. Having. To run

31:01

practices all at not to. There's not pressure

31:03

and all that in front office role but

31:05

I can understand. especially if you're a coat.

31:07

You've got kids, you got a family. all

31:09

that of stuff that. It it's

31:12

it's difficult. To. Coach the

31:14

team, Be gone that much be

31:16

that invested. And.

31:18

I'll tell you what, even when I was coaching at

31:20

at low levels. Your mood

31:22

gets affected. Your. Team loses.

31:24

You just grumpy Your know you'd.

31:27

right? It's it's. tough. They.

31:29

Can be tough to separate Oregon. I'm not

31:32

saying that's of doesn't happen when when you're

31:34

executive, but there's a certain level of stress

31:36

that comes with being the coach. I mean

31:39

you are literally before and after every single

31:41

game. Sit. In

31:43

the spotlight talking to the media about

31:45

what we're right, what went wrong and

31:47

if you when everybody's happy and you

31:49

lose, nobody's happy and you're the one

31:51

that has to talk every single night.

31:55

I did at why Brad Stevens did what he did with

31:57

Boston. Going. To go into the front

31:59

office. The one that. It's I'm.

32:02

Not. Dead. Nadal.

32:06

It's not an easy gig. Vienna had go to

32:08

me I'd be a that's for sure All the

32:11

wolves or the nuggets of cut the lead to

32:13

twenty five. While. Staying.

32:16

Close. Lakers

32:19

should hire the Two Wolves assistant coach or

32:21

we'll see Chris French's near recovery. Go. They

32:23

may need him for a while. I seen

32:25

some of the projections up there up studios

32:27

to come back and ah, I've seen some

32:29

of the projections saying that it's going to

32:31

take him a year to recover. From

32:35

that knee injury. As. Brutal.

32:39

This one says watching Denver lose is

32:42

a gut punch. I know we are

32:44

flawed team but we outplayed them and

32:46

we were better the majority the seasons

32:48

being in discipline them moronic coaching processor

32:50

chip this year You know what? I'd

32:53

say this. People

32:55

will say. People

32:57

will say all the time like. Oh,

33:00

the of Lakers read say the series was close. They're

33:02

just trying to cope right there is coping. It's just

33:04

a coping mechanism. That's it. That's other. Do. And.

33:07

I get it right of your up. Your.

33:10

Lakers hater. Either that's what's gonna

33:12

have, that's what your to say. A

33:15

man I'd I believe it. I.

33:17

Believe it, look at that series. And

33:20

I'm like they were right there. They. Were

33:22

right there. You can't look at that

33:24

sir to tell me the Lakers more

33:26

A couple of plays away from being.

33:29

I mean at worst being down

33:31

three to going into game six,

33:33

maybe being up free to. Go.

33:36

Into game sites. They. Were

33:39

right there is somebody says my cat is

33:41

great I will tell you guys. Studios.

33:44

Do here. He's. Great.

33:47

He's. Been he he loves. This is like his favorite

33:49

thing this is when he comes to life when he

33:51

gets to come up your to the studio Years can

33:53

see it. He just he purrs, he's happy, He's.

33:56

Thrilled to be here. All of that. He's.

33:59

Yeah, he wanted. Patreon and everything. But.

34:02

I have created a monster. I've

34:04

created. A damn monster.

34:07

And he's a little gray and white cat.

34:11

Because. Here's what happens. Here's

34:13

what happens now. My. Daughter

34:15

has this Lego table. right?

34:18

And it's on tile floor. And

34:21

so what studio still does now? He

34:23

jumps up on that table. He

34:25

finds a stray lego. He looks

34:28

at me. And he bats it off

34:30

the table. Because. He knows on the

34:32

dogs are you come pick it up and crunch analysts I've

34:34

gotta get up and go stop him is basically what it

34:36

comes down to. I get up to

34:38

go stop and he jumps down off the table.

34:40

He runs over to the studio. Dirty looks to

34:42

me. He's. Like come on,

34:44

let's go. I don't let him

34:47

in there. He goes back to the table, knock stuff

34:49

off again, And he looks

34:51

right Admin. Stairs mean the eyes. Was.

34:53

Doing it. Yeah.

34:57

He looks sweet. And

34:59

friendly. But.

35:02

He's. Kind of about had sometimes to. That's

35:05

catch them. Or

35:08

let's see we've got ah me. tell. You

35:11

said, this is what a good team coaching job

35:13

looks like. He's trying to get under the mike.

35:16

Now this is what a good defensive coach the

35:18

team looks like. I hope we can have a

35:20

coach that helps us to that level. I want

35:22

L A on that level as a possible drove

35:24

I hope with the right trades and coach. So.

35:27

Is it possible. Yeah.

35:31

It's possible. But.

35:34

at on the wall. They

35:37

say. You. Don't know what

35:39

you got till it's gone. They.

35:43

Had it. They had

35:45

it. right? They

35:48

had it. You. Will do this was team.

35:50

This. That's what the Lakers had. You

35:53

talk about a bunch of rangy switch you defenders

35:55

that could have had multiple positions that can also

35:57

hit from outside. The do all those things. That's

36:00

what the Lakers had. They

36:03

had it. And

36:05

they were do Russell Westbrook. Shiny.

36:08

New Toy. The.

36:10

Through the way. They. Had

36:12

it and they threw it away. So

36:15

can we get back to that? I'm.

36:19

It's. Gonna take some real changes. Good

36:21

take some significant moves I think they can.

36:23

I say one thing I think that the

36:25

do that that's break up the Dyilo in

36:28

Austin backcourt. You.

36:30

Gotta break up with the loan austin. Backwards.

36:34

And that's just because you got defensive concerns with both

36:36

of them. I think both

36:38

of them are at their best with a three

36:40

d style guard next to them. I.

36:45

I don't. Necessarily. Mean they can't be

36:47

on the same team. Think. They can be.

36:50

But I think they're minutes need to be staggered.

36:52

There's times, especially during the regular season where they

36:54

can be on the floor together. And.

36:56

Editor's find their offices good enough towards Despised

36:58

on problem but I think when you get

37:00

down to it and you get to the

37:02

post season, a defense wins championships. I.

37:05

Think you need. A true

37:07

three and d I'm going to make

37:09

my money. I'm going to make my

37:11

living. By. Being a pain in

37:13

the ass defender, that's the kind of

37:15

guy you need next to the low

37:17

or Austin. I

37:20

think that's. Something. To address during

37:22

the summer. I

37:24

did. You do need another big. A true

37:26

big advocate of cursor. Would comes back jackson he

37:28

comes back to pick up the player options. Great.

37:31

You're. Welcome comeback. No problem. Come.

37:33

On back, you still need to go get another big. You.

37:36

Still need a true physical big. You. Need

37:38

that guy that you can put in their whether

37:40

it's alongside Anthony Davis, whether it's behind it that

37:42

he Davis probably somebody you could do both. You.

37:45

Need to get that guy to, but I think

37:47

you need a defensive backcourt mate. For. Dyilo.

37:49

Or. Austin. I think

37:52

you could use another wing. Are.

37:54

Weighing who has the ability to score a bit. But.

37:56

Can also did something on the defensive and I'm asking

37:58

for a lot, I know. I'm as

38:00

you for a lot but. That's.

38:03

What it's going to take in already. Get the

38:05

Lakers were they want to go. There's.

38:09

A lot to do. Is a lot to

38:11

do. The. Summer for Reuters. They've

38:13

got a lot of things to figure out. A

38:16

D is the real deep boy. Said. What

38:18

is shot back on the shops? So he'll

38:21

be back? Ah, this week he's actually just

38:23

on a quick trip. I was one of

38:25

his players right now. I believe he's back

38:27

in town tomorrow or the next day. Ah,

38:30

And there we go Up cut the twenty two

38:32

now. Have a three from Denver

38:35

to minutes to play the third eight or

38:37

Denver run. As a lot of

38:39

Denver cuts, it's like. Seventeen.

38:42

So boy that in the fourth. And

38:46

headed to the fourth. Never

38:48

say never. We've seen the ever come

38:50

back from big deficits. We've.

38:54

Seen it, It

38:56

through Delgado City. Think Murray's getting a

38:58

suspension or fine for throwing the heat

39:00

pack. Plus what is the Aussies a

39:02

plan look like? I think we are

39:04

empathize role players a center and defense.

39:08

Emphasize that you met there are head coach has

39:10

to be a vet. Okay. So.

39:13

I'd say what? As

39:15

far as Murray goes I don't think is get suspended.

39:18

Should. He probably. I

39:20

will be given. So.

39:25

Here's the problem. If

39:29

somebody got hurt some he stepped on that

39:31

he pack someone got hurt. Murray's

39:33

getting suspended because nobody got hurt. His.

39:36

Progeny of find. Pro: Not going to get

39:38

suspended. But. I

39:41

think if it's regular season he probably gets suspended

39:43

right? As

39:45

far as what I'd more the off season

39:48

plan to look like. A

39:50

lot. It depends on who's available and at what

39:52

price. Is. Jaunty Murray is is there

39:54

the option? Could you go for do not a

39:56

Murray or Trillion or the Hawks? A not an

39:58

hour just trading for a young. We want

40:00

all your pics plus Austin Reeves and and also

40:02

the stuff is that with that looks like. What's.

40:05

That situation. What's the god of emotional situation with

40:07

like a lot of it depends on what's out

40:09

there. I still think best case scenario for this

40:11

team. In lieu of

40:13

getting. Booed! There's Nazarene missing

40:15

at the rim. Oh that. he turns

40:17

it over. Nice. As

40:20

much ridden phrasing azzurri that was a sloppy play. Their.

40:24

I. Still think as much as we've talked

40:27

about a big three model. One.

40:29

Of my concerns is that the big three

40:31

A people are saying no not sure a

40:34

young right. Now. An

40:36

entree? A lot. And I'm saying, what?

40:38

What's the price tag? What's the price

40:40

that would cost? Switch. You need to

40:42

find out. but. I'd.

40:45

Look at what the N B A is trying to do. Their

40:48

new Cbs. What?

40:51

They're trying to do their tried to eliminate

40:53

super teams. They're trying to make big three.

40:56

Go. Extinct. They don't want

40:58

that to be a thing anymore. You look at the

41:00

teams that are good right now. Denver.

41:04

Minnesota. Boston.

41:07

right? Ah, What?

41:10

It. How did those teams get good? They

41:12

drafted most of their guys or got them

41:14

while they're on rookie contracts. Jade.

41:16

Mcdaniels, Karl Anthony Towns celebs A

41:18

treat for a piece right? As

41:20

an average. The wolves

41:22

trade for Rudy go back. probably overpaid

41:24

but they trade for really go back.

41:27

right? Denver. A.

41:30

Trap. A joke, it's Rapid. Jamal Murray you

41:32

eatery for an gordon draft. Michael Porter Jr.

41:34

Skies they drafted Ride Fly because you get

41:36

these guys on contracts that are cheaper than

41:38

they should be for a little bit. Agreeable

41:41

to stockpile some talents and then what. It's time to

41:43

go up over the camp. You've already got these pieces

41:45

in place and you can add to them And off

41:47

you go. It's more difficult when

41:49

you have a couple guys and you sign

41:51

that are already on those max deals. They

41:53

take up all your space and then you're

41:55

trying to put pieces together from their. That

41:58

to make it really really tough. Easier to

42:00

like trade for that final piece that you

42:02

think's going up a job the top but you

42:04

built the base of your team around super around

42:07

superstars that you draft it obviously the Lakers

42:09

not a position to draft superstars but the

42:11

bottom was the and be a. They're.

42:13

Trying to push more towards thought model. Draft.

42:15

Guys develop them, bring them up Get good Good

42:18

Good Good Good Just a good just a good

42:20

you when you when you went up and now

42:22

you naturally fall off. Other teams get good off

42:24

the gulf would they don't want is a team

42:26

get a good and then saying that. They.

42:29

Do they want to cycle? Can.

42:31

Be A wants to be the Nfl. They want

42:34

parody. They. Want everything to

42:36

feel like they've got a shot. Advanced: Understand whether

42:38

teams that the process and not have the same

42:40

team of the top every single your? That's what

42:42

they want. And so. Part

42:45

of me feels like if you do pursue

42:47

this big three mana while the Lakers are

42:49

unique situation in that they've got the brother

42:51

got a Anthony Davis. You're also going against

42:53

what the and Be A is trying. To

42:56

promote. You're. Going against

42:58

that. So.

43:01

It's it's. a balancing act. With.

43:03

His team with what they're trying to do. Do.

43:06

You go against the grain and add a

43:08

third star. In. My mind, the

43:10

only way you do it is if you think that

43:12

third star is gonna be the guy that's gonna lead

43:15

you into the future. Posts Le Bron. If.

43:18

It's.of a Mitchell. Great. It's.

43:21

Man. And

43:23

prioritizing. Guys. Who were

43:25

least on their physical prime not older players. If.

43:28

You are going to sign or older player has to be a short term

43:30

deal. And. I'm

43:32

trying to add pieces. To. The

43:35

cord the gutter. that would mean not losing the

43:37

and are also for nothing. Maybe.

43:39

That means you work out some type of trade where

43:41

he picks up his player option. I think that's unlikely

43:43

a sign in trades are likely maybe sign him to

43:45

new deal. And. Then you can trade

43:48

by December something. You. Don't want to lose the low

43:50

front up and. Add.

43:53

That could just mean pursuing somebody out of the

43:55

trade market. Maybe it's not

43:57

an impact player like we're kind of hoping

43:59

for. But maybe it's a piece the

44:01

put them over thought. Maybe it is that big

44:03

that can be versatile that you looking for. Maybe

44:06

it is a wing player that you think's gonna

44:08

help. Maybe.

44:12

I. Think that's the the past the N B

44:14

A wants teams to pursue. But

44:17

it's in the Lakers dna to pursue stars.

44:20

If. There's a guy out there that they think is the

44:22

guy post Le Bron. They're going to do it again to

44:24

gotten. That's. What I think's gonna happen. If.

44:27

There's a guy that they're going to sell themselves

44:29

on as being the guy post Le Bron. They're.

44:32

Going to do everything they can. To

44:34

go get that player. If that

44:36

fails, that's where I think they'll look

44:38

to keep the score intact. They'll.

44:40

Add some pieces in the margins. And

44:42

see if they can make. A

44:44

big move on the trade market. A

44:47

big meeting? Probably not quite an all

44:49

star level player. But. Just a

44:51

good, solid player. With a

44:53

tragedy. Or

44:58

it. Said. Again, at some

45:00

point. Some. Point. They.

45:03

May need to tear down. That's

45:05

probably posts Le Bron, but that's why it was

45:07

so good that they. Are

45:09

cited that it aims to his contract extension.

45:12

By the way if if Le Bron word

45:14

to say. About.

45:19

Light the fuse, By

45:22

the thieves? Why? Because

45:24

right now. You could

45:26

get. The most right now

45:28

you get more for Anthony Davis I think than

45:30

you'll get free the natives nectar or the after

45:33

that. Right

45:35

now edited, it displayed seventy six

45:37

games played extremely well. Still,

45:39

His early thirties. Either

45:43

right now. If. You

45:45

were in asset allocation mode right now is

45:47

the time to move at that. It aims.

45:50

And. I'm not saying the Lakers should do that that. when

45:52

you've got Le Bron, you're not doing that. Now we've got

45:55

Le Bron. And you don't want to be

45:57

the team that lost the broad. You don't want to go down

45:59

that path. Not. That I'm saying in terms of getting

46:01

the most value out of a D though. Mobile.

46:04

Double. Major.

46:08

Is. The Time: If you do get forced to go down that

46:10

path once you get the Lakers, don't want to go down that

46:12

path right now. See. What? They.

46:14

Want to bring were brought back and they should. They.

46:17

Should. Bring the brownback. Bring

46:19

a D back. And. Then try to add

46:21

the pieces around them and off the go. It's

46:23

you they can do from there. But. If

46:25

they got pushed into a rebuild by Le

46:28

Bron leaving. The

46:30

silver lining. Would. Be that.

46:33

You're going to get the best value possible

46:35

in a trade for Anthony Davis. Several.

46:38

I'm. James

46:42

Jones. And why trade a d who's your

46:44

foundation? Because you thirty one. And

46:47

because if you go to rebuild realistically, by the

46:49

time you rebuild. She's. Not

46:51

gonna be the guy anymore. He's.

46:54

That can be still doing those things. He's

46:56

not going to be a one day at that point. That.

46:59

The problem. When.

47:02

You need meal time inspiration.

you had Bank of America A consistent with

47:54

what would you like to do anything he

47:56

is and what is needed to facilities His

47:58

decision to to me. Native American

48:00

A in Nebraska Se. Or

48:04

lawsuit also gutter. I.

48:08

Want feel handy as or head

48:10

coach Jj Redick know so. So

48:14

handy. Wow. He's

48:16

been a great assistant coach in the and be

48:18

a for long time. He's been a guy who's

48:20

been known as a trainer. A guy who's a

48:22

great for player development. Ah,

48:26

The Lakers just fired him right at me.

48:28

You just you just fired all the assistant

48:30

coaches, which is pretty normal. Part.

48:32

Of that is you don't want to have a have

48:34

been a one year deal right? Fill handy on just

48:36

a one year deal and. Then. I'll see

48:39

you want to given the opportunity. My guy Daniel started

48:41

at an editors ordinary mention that on actually of day

48:43

you don't have mana. when you're deal and in a

48:45

tough spot of any sort of go try to find

48:47

a new job next summer. A lot. At.

48:50

It wouldn't hurt. To. Give a look at

48:52

the head coach you spot be at the rubber. They just

48:54

let him go as an assistant. I wonder would they have

48:56

let him go? It is as an assistant at they're going

48:58

to give serious consideration to fill Hindi being their head coach.

49:01

At it. Why

49:04

of why consider Jj been abroad as

49:06

a player coach of the India doesn't

49:08

have his interest anymore sort of thing.

49:10

So. You

49:13

can do that. So. That's

49:15

why. That's a

49:17

any. Let's. Look. Let's

49:19

be honest, If

49:21

Jj is the coach. The

49:23

brought is also the coach. right?

49:28

I. Mean, let's be real. That's that's what

49:30

it would be. Like that's

49:32

most likely that's what it would

49:34

be. If. Jay Z's the Coach.

49:37

Le Bron will also be the come hither

49:39

go to case. I mean. That.

49:43

I. Think that's pretty clear and that's a that's not

49:45

speaking ill of Jj at all. right to be?

49:47

That's just that's the way it would be. You

49:49

know, the broad would have a lot of say.

49:52

In the coaching situation. If

49:54

it's if it's Jj and I think he's going to

49:56

have a say no matter what about who it is.

49:59

But if a judge. Hey. Yet

50:01

lowbrows also going to be he's gonna

50:03

have a lot inflows there, which isn't

50:05

necessarily a bad thing. I mean, like

50:07

game Frank Vogel. I thought

50:10

was. Inc.

50:13

Was brilliant. In

50:15

his humility, Brilliant.

50:17

In his humility. Because here's the thing.

50:20

A lot of coaches would come in and they

50:23

would say the Browns here. Rondo.

50:25

Seer. But hey guys, I'm

50:28

the coach. You listen to me.

50:30

I am the guy. You.

50:32

Do what I say. You do what I want to do. This

50:35

is the offense or running, and if the player

50:37

suggest something, it'll be not well now I want

50:39

to, you're going to what I wanna. There's.

50:42

That. Power Struggle. Frank Vogel

50:45

was smart enough to realize.

50:49

I've got the defense handled. All.

50:51

Sides. Le

50:54

Bron. Rondo. Here's the clipboard. His

50:58

and like let's go. A

51:00

players have talked about that the basically Rondo

51:02

and Le Bron scheme. The Lakers off it's

51:04

the championship. your. Frank. Vogel

51:06

handled the defense. And. He was

51:08

great at it. Le

51:10

Bron. Raj on Rondo who by the

51:13

way out of love it if Rhonda was as a

51:15

was an assistant coach with Go. Run

51:17

of the great assistant coach. The. Dude

51:19

knows the game so well. He's.

51:22

So smart! As

51:25

a basketball minds on real so.

51:29

When you've got guys like that. We've.

51:32

Got the eyes like that on the team. It's

51:35

smart of a coach to relinquish a

51:37

little bit of control and take advantage.

51:40

Of that sometimes you can go bit too far to

51:42

gotta be careful with it. But.

51:44

I thought for a vote that a really good job

51:46

at that. At that specifically. I

51:50

have a suit us we got here will do a few more. Ah,

51:53

I'm. Looking like

51:55

awards and pretty good shape right now.

51:57

Tell he said first, just want to.

52:00

They. Are Minnesota Wolves

52:02

are smoking the Nuggets? Yes, they

52:04

are. Also. I don't

52:06

think. We. Should I get for

52:08

a young, Mitchell's the only guard I'd

52:10

try to get using all of our

52:13

picks. Dyilo. Fit. Better.

52:15

Than tray. I.

52:17

Think for a young is very good player. I

52:19

think that. That for a young.

52:22

A problem. With. Tray on

52:24

his on the defensive side of the ball offensively.

52:27

And he's incredibly talented player. I think it doesn't get

52:29

enough credit as a passer. For. What he does.

52:33

But I think the problem is. For.

52:35

A young is at his best with the ball in his hands. On.

52:38

The offered summon. Isn't

52:40

that just the problem that we had

52:42

with Russell Westbrook? Now I think

52:44

the tray is a better fit the Russell Westbrook as he can

52:46

shoot the three. Patrol Young as that

52:48

is best creating with the ball in his hands. To.

52:51

That takes some of the burn off of Le Bron. Sure,

52:54

Either going to be moments though. Where. You

52:56

said, just give them all the branches.

52:58

His Le Bron. Yeah. And

53:01

then what's Trader one? Is a good

53:03

off. Called Now the shots. A Murray showed us that. The.

53:06

Hawks just did this. outbreak

53:09

of lay off on then they found out away know it

53:11

it. Was.

53:13

Not a while, And. Then

53:15

defensively at it got me get into a playoff

53:17

situation. What's. Gonna happen, You

53:19

get into a playoff situation. Or

53:22

teams are going to just. Go after

53:24

tray. Night. A night

53:26

out. So

53:29

that's problematic. Is a

53:31

very tells yeah he is. So

53:34

that's where if it's. I have

53:36

to push in all of my chips. Three.

53:38

First round picks Austin really all the

53:41

stuff to go get trade. I

53:44

don't know. prayers and all the stuff. guy. Found.

53:47

The Mitchell. The he's goes

53:49

road all the stuff guy. Raphael.

53:52

Little bit more comfortable. Going. After like

53:54

that. I be certainly

53:56

if it's if it's Luca for Joe

53:58

gets with younis. Ebony Edwards and

54:00

your grip push it all the stuff every

54:03

whatever you want. Whatever.

54:05

You want? Was.

54:07

Not all of them were go all it. That's

54:10

what those guys are. Phrase.

54:12

Not have that level. So

54:14

the question is, what is. What's.

54:17

The deal look like. If

54:19

it takes everything to get him. Then

54:22

you're not going to have enough left over to

54:24

build the team you would kind did you would

54:26

need. In order to. Make

54:29

can be successful. In order to. Paper.

54:32

Over the problems that he also has. So.

54:36

That's the challenge. Which right by the way, we're

54:38

at eighty Four Sixty five. Wolves lead

54:40

here would nine thirty to play in the fourth.

54:44

And to I'd Trade is

54:46

an incredibly talented player. I.

54:50

Just don't know if he's the guy you go

54:52

all in after. And

54:55

if you do, You. Better pray

54:57

he's the guy. If

55:02

they go in all in. On

55:05

anybody. And. That turns

55:07

out to not be the guy. The see will

55:09

be in big trouble for a long time. It

55:12

will they already on. Did.

55:15

The russell was portrayed and that hurt.

55:18

right? Undoing that trade

55:20

hurt. That. Took future

55:22

capital to undo that massive mistake

55:24

and they're still paying the price

55:26

for that. I

55:29

don't know what it would take

55:32

to undo another. Met Mr. Trade.

55:36

So if you do decide to go up to try. He

55:38

needs to be that guy. You. To

55:40

be certain, He's.

55:42

That guy. Or

55:47

it. If.

55:49

He became available. Howard Money Williams be Lakers did

55:51

almost get him before he went to the Suns.

55:55

Communist. As Detroit fans right now what they think

55:57

of money waves a lot of feel like email

55:59

didn't have. The season that is mine wasn't

56:01

really. Set. On coaching. add that

56:03

he took the job just because the

56:05

money like they gave him crazy money.

56:08

Crazy. Years. I.

56:10

Think he just went are why. Can't.

56:12

Turn this down. So. We took

56:15

it. I

56:17

don't see any way the pistons. Let.

56:19

Him go. Know.

56:21

Where I mean, he's owed way too much

56:24

money for way too long. To

56:26

one year later turn around and say oh yeah, we're

56:28

just gonna eat all that salary. Like.

56:30

A Happen. And William

56:33

certainly is going to are. At

56:36

waves are they is going to. Quit.

56:39

He's. Not just say by be out. There.

56:42

Is going to take the money. So.

56:44

I don't think he's a realistic option. Ah,

56:51

Eighty seven, Sixty Five. Still a forty two player

56:53

of. The wolves just started

56:55

over. Will. See of the nuggets get as

56:57

close we're to go to their couple minutes or so. the

56:59

heart. Said this game is

57:01

making Rudy looking super ugh expendable. It's

57:04

one game he's been a big part of the

57:06

defensive scheme all season, and this is more. Oh.

57:09

Follow: don't there for and Gordon this

57:11

is more. So.

57:14

Cut back to twenty now at this

57:16

is more. When. I look at.

57:19

What's. Happening in tonight's game with the and

57:21

the Nuggets. This is more give credit to

57:23

the wolves for what they're doing. Said take

57:25

this as set in stone like concrete evidence

57:27

that they don't need really go bare. This.

57:30

Is more while they stepped up for a game

57:32

without him. Then. See.

57:35

This is proof that they don't need him.

57:38

What's are spending power the summer? Great question.

57:42

Ah. spending power, Let's.

57:44

Put it this way. We. Put.

57:47

Our by. History. Teacher cap for

57:49

a moment or. Eighty

57:52

Seven. Sixty Seven is the score. Right

57:54

now I'm. During

57:57

the Great Depression. During the Great

57:59

Depression. Ah, Stock

58:02

market crash occurs there is run on the banks

58:04

are a lot of things are created. The.

58:06

Very very difficult situation this country we look at.

58:08

on appointment we look at families being split up

58:10

due to family members had believed to go pursue

58:13

work was very tough. Time you think about the

58:15

generation going through the great depression and then I'm

58:17

to go fight. I'm Robert To. Who.

58:20

Are me: Spend your years in the depression

58:22

and then. You. Become a teenager, eighteen,

58:24

nineteen years old and yet to go find

58:26

the worst where the world's racine. No wonder

58:28

we com the greatest generation, right? But. When.

58:31

You look at the Great Depression. there were a

58:34

few signs of it. And what

58:36

are the things? was something called a Hoover

58:38

flag. Lot of people blamed President Hoover for

58:40

not doing enough to fix the economy at

58:43

the time, for not doing enough to help

58:45

those who needed help In the moment, Hoover

58:47

largely subscribe to this idea that. The.

58:49

Economy was cyclical and that it would fix

58:51

itself. His top economists were telling him if

58:53

the government gets to involve you need to

58:55

just go. Hands off, the government

58:58

can mess it up. If you get too

59:00

involved, it's gonna fix itself. Your. Best

59:02

bet is to not get

59:04

involved. Meanwhile the people are

59:07

drowning. right? Metaphorically drowning. During.

59:09

The Great Depression and they're begging for

59:11

help. And. Hoover is not throwing

59:14

them the life preserver. That's what they're seeing.

59:17

Even. Though he says. This is going

59:19

to fix itself. And so Hoover got.

59:21

A sort of criticism. Tumbler people hated

59:24

leave you think people did like Durban

59:26

Him people hated. Herbert. Hoover.

59:29

And so what They started to do. Was.

59:33

Pull. Their pockets inside out. Their.

59:36

Jeans, pocket, square pants, pockets, Full.

59:38

Of inside up. And. The reason

59:40

for that would they would call it is a Hoover flag.

59:43

You. Consider to be flying a Hoover

59:45

flag. It was taking a shot at President

59:47

Hoover while showing everybody that you have no

59:50

money. You've. Got nothing in

59:52

your pockets. That's

59:54

my roundabout way. To.

59:58

Say. The Lakers have no more. When.

1:00:01

It comes to free agency. The Lakers are flying a

1:00:03

Hoover flag. Rubble he

1:00:05

get can be walking around. With. His.

1:00:09

Pockets. Pulled in set up, I

1:00:12

like this. Sam's

1:00:14

pockets are worn out. That's

1:00:16

right, So.

1:00:20

That's. Where the Lakers

1:00:22

are at. They. Don't have any

1:00:24

money under salary cap. In fact, they are

1:00:27

right now. They. Are right at

1:00:29

the first tier. A Bring. The

1:00:31

right there. They could be a

1:00:33

second tier. aprons him. Which. Means

1:00:36

they won't be able to aggregate salary

1:00:38

and trades during the season. Ms: they

1:00:40

couldn't combine players together. You couldn't put

1:00:42

like Austin endured Vanderbilt together and do

1:00:44

a trade on. They will be able

1:00:46

to pick up anybody on the buyout

1:00:49

market. Mobile. The ad cash

1:00:51

and do a deal like lose all

1:00:53

these putative things that come along with

1:00:55

that. That's how strapped for cash the

1:00:57

Lakers are. It's so bad that they

1:00:59

probably like they may not even have

1:01:01

a taxpayer mid level. To. Go

1:01:03

play with like five million bucks. They

1:01:05

my how they might have just better and minimums

1:01:08

and that's it to sign players in the off

1:01:10

season. everything else will have to be done via

1:01:12

trade. That's where the Lakers rat. Cap.

1:01:14

Was. Flying. That Hoover flag. Spent.

1:01:20

A lot while since I've got to talk about the Great

1:01:22

Depression like that. Thank.

1:01:25

You as. For. Indulging me, But.

1:01:30

That's where the Lakers are out right now. Or

1:01:36

Tina said Donovan Mitchell's under contract next season.

1:01:38

I don't see the Cavs giving him up

1:01:41

yet so. What's. Gonna happen The

1:01:43

Cabs: When their season ends, they're

1:01:45

going to offer Donovan Mitchell a

1:01:47

max extension. That. They're going

1:01:49

to do it. It's already it's gonna happen. They're going

1:01:51

to offer of a max extension. Don't

1:01:53

have a bit so can be a free agent.

1:01:55

not this summer but next summer. So here's what

1:01:58

will happen. If.of image of gets

1:02:00

that extension. And.

1:02:02

It doesn't sign it. They're

1:02:05

going to say. Okay,

1:02:07

then we gotta trade you. If

1:02:09

they give him my max the most, they can give

1:02:12

him more than any other team can give him and

1:02:14

he doesn't sign it. The.

1:02:16

Cavs are going to go. Oh. Well. That tells us

1:02:18

everything We do know that means he's not same. I

1:02:20

mean, she's gone. right? He

1:02:23

will leave next summer. That's a clear indication

1:02:25

if you're giving him everything you can and

1:02:27

he says now, That's

1:02:30

it. He's on the trade bought. Some.

1:02:32

Time between the summer whatever, he declines that

1:02:35

extension and the trade deadline and February they

1:02:37

would have to move him. So

1:02:39

that's where the Donovan Mitchell situation gets interesting

1:02:41

is if he declines that extension ip signs that

1:02:44

that's at ease with Cavs. That's all. Came

1:02:46

over. But. If

1:02:50

they deliver that east at it that extension and he

1:02:52

does not sign it. Stands:

1:02:55

The Race. Start. The

1:02:57

race teams will be stacking up offers.

1:03:00

You're. Gonna have. Twenty. Nine can,

1:03:03

maybe twenty eight. Utah probably doesn't call. Twenty.

1:03:06

Teams are going to call the cabs trying to

1:03:08

trade for got him at least finding out with

1:03:10

prices. That's

1:03:12

the way it's gonna play out if you don't sign

1:03:14

that extension. So

1:03:16

that to be the thing to watch. A

1:03:24

decision on what would it take to get

1:03:26

a bead? No, I'm not hi. More.

1:03:29

The Lakers out offer. You.

1:03:31

An idea. Damage. Ninety

1:03:37

To seventy Six Thirty three. The play. Oh.

1:03:41

My. God. Oh Dave Mcmenamin from

1:03:43

in the building says fans in

1:03:45

Denver are heading for the exits.

1:03:47

There's six minutes and thirty seconds

1:03:50

less than a playoff game and

1:03:52

the Wolves already have. Nuggets

1:03:54

fans tapping out. Wow.

1:03:58

There's. Time Low. A

1:04:01

Nuggets fans are leaving. A

1:04:04

whole. They.

1:04:07

Made them quit. Unreal.

1:04:54

big. Ah, A for a

1:04:56

veteran minimum age and Griffin is an option whatever his

1:04:58

1:05:01

eater, Griffin got fired by the

1:05:03

Bucks for a reason. I.

1:05:05

1:05:11

Parts. Insects Sexton I'm I'm I'm

Does degree. I would. I

1:05:29

would put Mark in an editorial in terms

1:05:31

of this Lakers team. That's who I would

1:05:33

target. I

1:05:36

don't think the jazz are going to let him go. If

1:05:40

they do great. Great

1:05:43

if they do. But.

1:05:45

I doubt. I doubt it. But

mix of the work market and could you clerks it?

1:06:18

Yeah to get clarkson through the one of. The

1:06:21

you get him and I don't know if that's

1:06:23

the right way to go for the Lakers to

1:06:25

they need a scoring guard off the bench right

1:06:27

now. You definitely need some production of the bed

1:06:29

Scoring was but. A his make

1:06:31

a what twenty million a season. As com

1:06:33

a lot. But. Called
