Air Conditioning Is Always Done Up Real Good

[00:00:00] Welcome everybody to Takin On Sports, I am TD that is great, great how you doing man I am good, how are you doing so? I'm pretty good, pretty good Just enjoyed a nice holiday weekend, a real hot one of course

[00:00:29] We are recording Monday night folks because we both were on the road yesterday and two tired to a court by the time we got home So, yeah, that's a quality work Yeah, I got some sleep at least

[00:00:48] Not really a lot to talk about honestly not much has happened in the sports world between over the past week It's the biggest thing for them to look at MBA for the agency, all season stuff, tomorrow to Rose and sign and trade to the kings today Kings, yeah

[00:01:10] It's just kind of, whatever I don't know really how much he adds to them, you know? Right They kind of don't already have a... We're gonna be here for your guard boy Yeah, yeah, they got that

[00:01:24] Yeah, I don't know if that really puts them over that play and hump, you know? They're close and he knows maybe another year for some of their younger guys Right That's what doesn't form but didn't really move the needle for me as far as a trade

[00:01:42] How about you? No I mean, not really I mean, I would probably say the biggest thing probably out of the end of me If you're the kings of very different, better have them than them called the Eucharist I don't know Yeah

[00:02:01] I guess it's yeah better that you at least do something to improve your spot And you know he doesn't go to a rival or something Right Yeah I love it a lot I don't No, if it makes it better than that

[00:02:22] I put them back into the plough line I know whether they're considered I took your in the go and I won the better season than 20 years I don't know Yeah, I think it definitely adds another score on the team for sure that's great Right

[00:02:48] I don't know, we'll see maybe you know we'll roll But it just didn't not a huge birth chatter and you kind of saw it on the ticker or whatever and you go like Yeah, all right And other than that this past week mostly just kind of Extensions Yeah

[00:03:11] And not really smaller Smaller stuff I mean we got you know Buddy healed during the Golden State on his own little side I thought we were there But see yeah Probably the more interesting out of the kind of a major major guest I thought that was interesting

[00:03:36] Because I mean Buddy Hill is still the heck of a shooter And that all kinds of their running golden state I mean Of course you're not quite Thompson but I think he got a number zero Yeah, and he's always been a solitude

[00:03:52] Always been the name that's kind of a lot of people have kind of Thought the lakers should get because of his shooting You know Yeah And with that And that's another one Yeah, it kind of helped replace you know what Clay Thompson Lee the whole he leaves

[00:04:07] Like you said probably a really good fit in that offense So you never know I thought yeah, I thought that was like you said an interesting one it kind of that one did kind of catch your eye a little bit All right

[00:04:21] This because I mean I remember when I was going to go He took over college basketball for that one season I mean he would just have to have a And everything happened It ran and lived up to that end year for say

[00:04:34] But you know at any point he could drop I mean he could he could drop a quick 30 when he's on Yeah, so See what he does Yeah, that's one of those you know as they try to

[00:04:49] They hit that awkward point and you know all Donis dee's face at the end of it You know it Steph is obviously still a top tier player Right So you can't just blow up around him and you know he doesn't want to rebuild it this point is career

[00:05:06] You know you don't want to turn me to like Kobe's last few years of the lakeers where you just had a bad team around Yeah, I Yeah, I mean I was kind of a set of way to go out You know other than that Final season

[00:05:27] Going everybody get my celebration But yeah, I don't know You don't want to see folks carry really in like that And I mean I mean the Warriors were pretty much They've been kind of on that line for a little bit anyway

[00:05:45] Kind of a playoff team but not really Since the title a few years ago, yeah, they really kind of Went off the other side of that hill Right So even though last title kind of

[00:06:00] Cool that out of you know they're kind of on off and then they pulled that out and people I was kind of kind of a kind of a miracle title when this forest like normally expected them to pull that out Season with that

[00:06:14] What they kind of all enough a little bit But you know there always going to be someone Look at tender waves I mean you have a person that steps down At least kind of Keep you in contention for a play and you know

[00:06:29] Because he's that that good of a player and then you know everybody I don't know It's a role in everything But I guess So I saw someone you know that kind of taking your balance kind of that Well probably moves happening Probably one of the last times

[00:06:50] You might see What we could call a dynasty product for a long time Yeah with the new apron system being implemented by the NBA It makes it harder to build these kind of super teams and the less one team just gels kind of like

[00:07:07] Warriors on the it's obviously did Yeah exactly they built that through the draft and development And you know, free agent here there but by the large guys they developed You don't see that too much in modern day But you never know there's always

[00:07:27] People say that a lot I feel like there's always kind of outside of maybe Baseball seems to be like the one dynasty proof sport You know we haven't seen a repeat world series champion What Going on 30 years now Right So 20 some at least I guess the Yeah

[00:07:51] That's when Yeah Definitely been a big quarter in time there The baseball definitely I mean I guess the NBA is kind of I guess The NBA is kind of in the stories It has like a dynasty every decade You know, the Celtics way back in the day

[00:08:10] And then you the 80s, Lakers and Celtics You know 90s The spurs and 2000s And the Lakers You know at the beginning of the Waker's I mean the Lakers had one like Kobe and Shack and the spurs When I have five titles in my place Yeah

[00:08:31] I'm 20 year career 12 15 year period Yeah You know the Warriors got there Would they get four and about a Eight nine year period Something like that Yeah The NBA is kind of the most I think dynasty laid in Professional sport anyway You know obviously college sports Tender

[00:08:53] Favorite bigger programs Like that And I think you know just a man role You know just because it's a five people on a court So of course if you have You know three all stars You know there's going to be a big factor on the entire

[00:09:09] You know that's where we started going for that big three model Where we're trying to get you know three superstars on my team We're trying to discuss two or three players and have so much impact on the game Control everything where you know football baseball

[00:09:23] You know one person only can do so much and it's you know So it's way more that you can control you know Three out of five people being all stars on the team So let's see if there will be reason why

[00:09:35] We see a lot more behind the season Our lifetime than anything else Our lack of our gifts of right is for our champions for the most part Right Yeah Other than that you know if we're going back to all season talk

[00:09:55] I have one kind of interesting one to me James Wiseman you know 20 20 second overall pick to the Pacers A guy with a lot of talent a you kind of an interesting skill set for a big guy Just hasn't quite

[00:10:13] Clipped in the NBA yet you know with the warriors got traded to the Pistons now sign up for the H&C on track of the paiters He'll obviously be a backup to the guys milestone or a possible see outcome there Right

[00:10:28] It could be a decent spot for him though You know well coach team Good guys and learn from Could be one of those late blue and were guys at least turns into a solid player

[00:10:41] You know if not a you know role player maybe a starter down a lot That's just something I noticed. I was like that's kind of interesting spot for him You know a good team play off team. Obviously the main days to conference finals this year It folks

[00:10:56] Yeah exactly not the mess that was Detroit I don't think you really fit in all their stay per se No it was a weird pick by the kind of had to those that we do you know they had the second overall pick

[00:11:13] They took them because of the you know potential and the talent But yeah, it was a weird fit for them. He got his minutes kind of in their bad times there When Steph was injured and Clay was injured and then you know like we said went to Detroit

[00:11:34] You know bad team there's played in 66 games. I'm sure something like that So he's got some at least he's got some minutes now. You know important for the young guys So I just thought that was kind of one I just like keeping the back of the head

[00:11:50] No see how he does there Other than that like we mentioned a bunch of extensions this week for people you know miles bridges staying in Charlotte You know just kind of like things like that some minor

[00:12:07] Signage you know the pelican sign dating of these you know, so they have two centers on the roster now still doesn't really solve There is you have them. I don't think you want to go into the western playoff race with Daniel Thiez and a rookie as your center

[00:12:23] Yeah, and probably they're not going to be able to work out something with Ingram because it seems like they don't want to pay him the max and he might feel like he's worth it

[00:12:33] And so let's say work out something and post a guy think about guys down the line You know next year, Tray Murphy will be up for extension. You want to extend him. You know he's a budding star for you

[00:12:43] All right, so he's going to get some good money you think So yeah, it's interesting we're still waiting on that. There's not too many options out there unless there's just a shock trade coming somewhere

[00:12:55] Yeah, exactly then you know as far as the new system I mean GMs and the decision making definitely I have the word more cut-off form as much

[00:13:09] You know, fudge in numbers or things when you're working you have to have a specific plan in place because again those old tricks are going to work Yeah, other than that I thought the biggest thing beside those is this week Kimba Walker announced his retirement

[00:13:34] Kind of a short career for guy In jury career, you know his body didn't really hold up on fortune and mentally talented guy. We talked multiple times on this podcast about his eukon run in the tournament one year

[00:13:48] You know he had some good years in furlates, but I mean he did And he got him to the playoff, I mean you look at it. I mean that was pretty impressive he has you got that team to play off

[00:14:01] But you know, it's not like they got to see me much so many people really have seen that I guess the height of winning was You know really you know didn't work out But yeah, I mean always and you know I was being best known for his amazing 2011

[00:14:26] We're on to the biggest tournament in the age We have some things that are legit Because you just want to know go to one of them because you want to be two terms, you know two tournaments and the yeast when the baby is the biggest

[00:14:43] Still you know still a god way Turn that into a second weekend and answer your retirement I mean that's amazing That's what you know for me Yeah, I mean not horrible career four time all star all in the age 13

[00:15:12] But just once he got you know went to Boston as body just kind of betrayed him there You know he went to New York his hometown the next two late and his career only played 37 games there

[00:15:25] He had a nine game spell and Dallas played last year in Monaco So he's been a crazy number And then you put on crazy numbers and finally this past Yeah But you know I mean I would say more than that We're playing one year

[00:15:57] We set for life from in can't ask Too much more live is right No, he's gone he's gone into coaching He's gone into coaching so he'll be around the game In the smart mind too, so you know we'll see there may be develops into a

[00:16:16] Better coaching player and that would be a lot considering he had a side You know That's the four time I'll start all in BAT and that's a he can't complain about that career That's the thing with that coaching with

[00:16:32] Some people who start just some turning the great coaches Just because you know like the Colby's in the world of Marco Jordan set the mindset of working away do a We like me to down the average players That's one of the best

[00:16:52] But coaches are the kind of mental fear guys They may see if a lot of different perspectives and other super sharp perspective The Kimber I mean I think I mean he definitely has a course that great basketball mind I don't know I think

[00:17:11] I think he could be a fine Fine coach with whatever you know Once I go on a BTA Thank you Yeah, so good best luck to him Of course like we said you always have that you can at tournament run that year

[00:17:34] Just you know one of the best in the history of the sport For sure, it's hards individual runs other than that Yeah, there was nothing else from the NBA that really stood out this week You said it was a little week

[00:17:49] Elsewhere you know soccer is dominating the conversation of course with the Copa and your rows going on They're both in the semi finals now In Europe we'll have Spain versus France and England versus Netherlands And the Copa will have Argentina versus Canada The neighbors Yeah, you know

[00:18:12] Great job by an American coach there Jesse March their manager great job by him And then the other semi-final down there's Columbia versus Uruguay Kind of upset Brazil Fortress on penalties Chipie game But it should be a couple good semi finals though

[00:18:38] Yeah, both both tournaments a US national team Of course all the talks bit about what they were play great were hotter A lot of former players and analysts calling for you know they say you just can't Have that kind of performance

[00:18:55] Especially when you're going to host the cup in a couple years We kind of hit on that last week as we recorded during the Eurogry loss There's more losses for when and anything But yeah, it's just unfortunate that

[00:19:27] You host such a big prestigious tournament and you can't get out the group stage You have you know all the talent You know as much talent as you've ever had on the team you just don't Yeah, there's also some people

[00:19:44] Yeah, I got some point you just gotta look like what has great go broke the done to really Say that he deserves a job To lead this team into a second world cup Exactly But other than that you know like I said I didn't really have anything

[00:20:04] Going on this week in the world of sports to do Well, I mean I guess you know a lot of you got to see about special on social media Of course a lot of people catching a lot more that you can be a connection

[00:20:21] For that if you don't just whip I need your resetter set of women's record for triple doubles You know of course That was not a common sense going about that But for the most part not too much

[00:20:42] I mean we're just kind of almost at all start breaking baseball Teams announced You know some of league started in the NBA I see me here day next week Oh Lord I mean that's kind of kick after Kind of little

[00:21:02] Kind of little stuff there's plenty going on but kind of nothing major that's really dumb And then you cycle So with that we've talked about it in the past I had some stuff I could pull out to at least get this conversation

[00:21:17] We're under 20 minutes right now according to time Here's what we'll do I have a crazy idea Not too crazy I'll just explain it's great and we'll see what he thinks about it That way we get to talk a little bit more

[00:21:34] As if you read the album taking some of my past pieces I used to when I used to actually do writings on that I'm a big guy I love to play around with kind of realignment formats Change things around play with teams but don't wear different places

[00:21:52] Changing away that leagues kind of run Right so I have an idea for the NBA It's kind of modeled and it adds a lot of things that he's kind of doing Or modeled after your pants awkwardly Success they have Building into huge brands and leagues Kind of the

[00:22:16] You can't Run like the NFL because the NFL is kind of a unique thing That we're really the only country that does big time football Sure there are little football leagues around the world The NFL is the league If you want to play football you're the NFL

[00:22:35] You can play all over the world The NBA is obviously the best league in the world By far where you want to play There's no shortage of good leagues around the world So you can play quality basketball So Well that's it. I'd be as for the NBA

[00:22:56] The first thing to do is you expand by two teams You get to 32 it's good number To that why I think the two teams the obvious one is Seattle bring back the sonics They deserve it a great sports town they support their teams

[00:23:12] So some great you need's back in the day Let's bring them back The second team It's probably Vegas right they guess is Goblin up all the Pro sports teams now you're going to get the A's they got the Raiders

[00:23:28] You know the prices in the WMBA they got the Knights and you know the Golden Knights and NHL I'm not gonna get all the sports on there Exactly Exactly you got the arena Vegas is finally accepted by professional sports in America

[00:23:45] Now that they are going to your basketball arena Exactly Conference starting that's off in every year Yeah you play wherever I don't know the name of the arena but where the Golden Knights play So okay You do that so you can separate Into four divisions The biogography

[00:24:10] I'm big on Impro Sports You should have geography It's safe on travel cost I got the out of blah blah blah stuff like that But it's good for foster and robberies It just makes more sense that way It's easy for scheduling you know to do things like that

[00:24:35] So my idea so if we're to break them up into these Divisions here you have the West you start there So you have Seattle and Vegas you two expansion teams Portland Sacramento Golden State the Clippers The Lakers and the Suns Such a Pacific Division Right

[00:24:59] Then you have your Kind of central Central division you'll call it you tall Denver okay see Dallas and Antonio Houston New Orleans and Memphis You know kind of a little further stretching

[00:25:19] You know going from Utah to Memphis but it kind of all grouped kind of similar in there and you can have Little pods you know if you want you know Some rava region obviously

[00:25:32] That's already you know Memphis New Orleans and the three Texas teams already the southwest division So you just think you're adding okay see Denver and Utah there Yeah, then you do An East division

[00:25:48] See if I'm getting my numbers right action doing this on the fly here but you got you Celtics Nick's nets Sixers wizards Raptors I'm a screw myself up here not done math right on this

[00:26:09] Let's see because let me do my central first that you should make cities here for me My central or my north will be Minnesota Milwaukee Chicago Indiana Detroit Cleveland Ronto I'll see this is where I always screw myself and it's in one team here

[00:26:31] This is why I want to do the expansion here Sometimes sometimes I flirt with not doing Vegas as a team but maybe something like Louisville you know Kentucky Great historical basketball state Louisville great basketball city Are they too close Indiana maybe you never know what

[00:26:51] They just something right there or maybe a Kansas city you know Kansas home of basketball you know birds You know they deserve a team saying Louis another great Midwestern city deserves more dollars Now we're all these other teams

[00:27:08] Yeah, so you could do something like that and flirt with you guys get the idea you don't budgetography You could also play around like a southern division kind of do Miami or Lando Memphis New Orleans in the three Texas teams I would give you an 18-division and

[00:27:25] Kind of move okay, so you get the idea anyway for divisions based on geography that makes a schedule easier You know because as far as the schedule goes then you could do either

[00:27:41] You could do either if you really want to go soccer out you could just play each team in your schedule twice once home one the way

[00:27:47] With 32 teams I would give you 30 one upon its twice 62 teams season now whether the owners want to give up 20 games some regular season probably not

[00:27:55] But maybe you convince them drop 10 games or whatever and you do kind of a tiered system. You have little bubbles teams, you know kind of like now Where you play certain teams in your division more than the rest of the league yeah

[00:28:12] And this is where different at the end of the playoffs obviously we don't have an eastern the West anymore so you just do Winners of each division get top the top four seats and they you take the next

[00:28:26] 12 teams around out your 16 team play feel get rid of the plan no more that So that way you just one through 16 you get your matchups. I think that's the best way to get the best possible

[00:28:39] Finals matchups, you know because with the my problem always with the West and East You know conference splits and postports is you don't always get the two best teams in the

[00:28:50] Yeah, like there's a lot of times us a conference semi final or conference final was actually the defecto title Series because you know the team that wins that is going to go on

[00:29:00] So, you know that could always still having him but this way you kind of set the table up to where Hypothetically your top two teams could have a path a favorable path to get to you For sure

[00:29:14] I'd also because I'm an old school guy always liked it make the first round best of five again I don't know why I like that so much if I ever play like 2k I'll change what settings do that Yeah, probably could be just wrong for a day

[00:29:31] Yeah, exactly there was something about those it seemed like it made Up sets a little harder more monumental like you know when Denver upset Seattle The I think that was the first ever eight over one upset

[00:29:44] It just kind of urgency to it. I guess it players a little bit of rest And then here's where I start to get A little crazy So I mentioned having silver and love soccer your P and soccer model after it

[00:30:01] I love the concept of promotion, relegation and sports It's great in soccer because it means all the games matter There is no tanking for a top draft pick you know there is no The games mean something for the teams at the bottom of the standings

[00:30:18] Even at the end when they're well out because they want to keep that paycheck They want to keep that big time TV deal money It really means some to stay up like in a Premier League You don't want to finish you know those are the bottom three places

[00:30:32] But 17th means you get another year you get that money you can try to improve Alright So let's do that let's make the G league the second tier You get some more teams in there Let's end the affiliations with the NBA teams

[00:30:49] They can set up you know academy or you expand the roster so you can have young guys You know your second round picks at your projects Expand your roster and you can have like you know basically Developmentally games you know under 21s like they do in soccer

[00:31:06] You know you can have your young Your young guys play so they you know have some competition but they're also practicing that way They're practicing everyday with the big guys the stars and they're learning from them

[00:31:16] It's a problem with the G league is you do get a lot of playing time it's great But you're not practicing with real big time ballers every day That does a lot for you So let's do that and then let's introduce promotion and a relegation to the NBA

[00:31:34] Let's have fun with it. So What you do is you also divide the G league in the four divisions and then the last place team in each division And you could do this kind of similar geographies whatever

[00:31:48] Place the first place team in each G league division in the seven game series And the winner that is in the NBA the next year So you know the last place team is fighting for to stay in the league

[00:32:01] And that G league team is fighting to come up and get that glory You know especially these teams are in kind of smaller markets. You know imagine The Fort Wayne team all the sudden league Yeah, they get to come up and they're playing against Indianapolis you know

[00:32:19] It's a cool concept It's something I know in the NBA you know American sports owners will never do because they have the clothes leagues It's a money's too. Yeah too much money

[00:32:30] But I just think it adds a lot of fun you get you get more guys playing high stakes ball I think it'd be easy to sell the TV for contracts You know ESPN Fox and BC they eat though, you know they're not gonna

[00:32:47] Yeah, you know these the G league games aren't getting big content spots But they're still getting you know TV which stream and services now you can choose what you watch anyway So you know you can have your G league package there and you know for real basketball die-harts

[00:33:03] Can watch that they'd love it and then yeah those ratings for those You have those The promotion and relegation series you could have them anytime you could have them before the playoff Start you can have them going alongside the playoffs to kind of a first round barrage

[00:33:20] It kind of their own version of March madness almost where you have not only the first round playoff games But you have these four promotion series going on at the same time That's just so much basketball going on you could start it in the afternoon

[00:33:38] Just really make a You know take those I'm just those I'm also really good to give me that you're bigger numbers You know you know what I see there And what's the impossible Exactly, yeah, it's one thing for a 18 up set of one seed

[00:34:00] That's cool. It's great, but it's not like college or that's a monument It's not a 16 or a run But yeah, you know, I have to have to look up G league teams But let me see where they are Trying to find the Weirdest

[00:34:19] Let's see where we got because a lot of Delaware, you know a team from Delaware getting them to league Yeah, you know a barren hand. We got the squadron here great to see them play big time basketball You know you have

[00:34:32] Sioux Falls could you imagine him they can a miracle run We got a team of Mexican City, you know the all the big leagues talk about Want no expanding Mexico City there you go get him out there

[00:34:49] Austin has a you know Austin has a team there a big time city that doesn't have any pro sports teams You know It's just something to think about Obviously maybe some of these teams you know that Memphis has a team there

[00:35:05] You know a lot of people who have been to the top of the team You know maybe some where close but you know that kind of stuff you worry about You know later on and a lot but I just think it creates something fun

[00:35:19] The other thing I do I think we've talked about this before, but you know after COVID And with the bubble they had to delay to start of the next season they started around Chris's time

[00:35:30] And I thought I think we've talked about that before, but I think it'd be a cool thing for the NBA to start had their open and day on Christmas day

[00:35:39] That's their big they've always had the big games you know in a Phil trying to butt in on it now

[00:35:45] Well, that'd be that'd be a way for the NBA to kind of take that back to you know if it's there they just have the three games you know When they schedule them at the beginning year it looks good

[00:35:56] But you never know one team might suck it up and then all of a sudden you got a ho-ha matchup But when it's open and day it's great all those ratings a lot of people might turn in that over some you know kind of

[00:36:09] Leach season you know mid in a Phil game, you know It's just something to think about but then that I think Pretty much tashes out on my Details of it so it does my question I guess does that make it

[00:36:28] The NBA more watchable less watchable or about the same to you So well, I mean, I think of course, you know there's coming to be a lot of team being in my way I think if you know if you know that's a motion of the nation

[00:36:51] I mean that's kind of I think of anything that's going to be that part of the least games I think of myself people get used to it You know there first couple years I mean you're coming to some casual people because they think is an interesting

[00:37:05] For a way this plan out on other the pistons and you know Think for moving out you know To To The NBA team next to nothing that's going to catch a lot of casual eyes I mean you're big as basketball fans just because people like see upsets

[00:37:25] You know smart people love much man. It's like they watch a lot of basketball and so I think you would get a lot of eyes on I think you know a chance of seeing history seeing that upset

[00:37:37] So you know I think that would be the biggest scene that we would you know get from that Also like said getting rid of that you know the eastern aware I think that Will help I don't know so

[00:37:53] Overall maybe viewing for the playoffs just because you have a better chance of getting your better match You know you're not getting You know you know like a series last year, you know Probably not going to get a self-ticks cleavence or something that was home

[00:38:12] Method is going to gain no one super much your self-expander Gas fans you're not releasing their watch and that shirt is like oh my god So riveting you know you might kind of get less of those type of match ups

[00:38:27] I guess which is say your NBA TV play up match ups You know you really don't call him serious Yeah, yeah, not per se So I think after really what you gain from this probably better chance getting your better match ups

[00:38:42] You know just have a try and not that roll again Now they're just going to get right on this self Please for a little bit just cause it's something new something different and you know people will see their type of story As far as the upset and

[00:38:59] And you know just interest in just a see there as well On somebody you know does move You know you know can they stay there another day Struggle you know we're not from a jiggly to the NBA. There's a big jump Yeah, how that works out for

[00:39:20] Whether they can stay competitive You know there's kind of a one one season type of day in a bag down Yeah, I really know You know they can better Better better team there You know it's a move There's one thing to pull that you know

[00:39:44] About 82 games season are generally even 60 games even if we took some games down You know just the see if I made maybe our glee type thing in you know staying stay in the NBA

[00:39:58] You know four fire seasons, you know that they'd gotta be pretty interesting to see as well there No, yeah, that's always one of the big things and soccer is you know these teams it come up. It's always

[00:40:09] Some of them completely storm the league and they're great and that's you know They show they belong some of them go right back down So yeah, that'd be interesting you know from a owner stay in point. I think that would get you know a lot of rich guys

[00:40:26] When I own sports teams that way you could get get some teams on the discount and then if you do make the the league the NBA you can Spend spend throw some money into it and try to stay there and make it really relevant get your tax break

[00:40:41] Rich guy reasons for own and sports You know and then if you don't there's an off chance that I see a bajoon league team to came up ever

[00:40:53] When NBA title I was having so many stuff right there. Yeah, right? The kind of the miracle stories, you know like Little team from Rio Grande that you know started off a glee team gotten to the league stayed there and after ten years or whatever it is

[00:41:12] I want to work with the title. It's great It's exciting it's something that Is missed in professional Sports in America as that kind of yeah that small town hope

[00:41:27] The NBA I think has always been a perfect league for that you know they have a team in Portland, you know they Have teams and kind of markets that aren't You know that don't have other you know Sacramento that don't have other professional teams All right

[00:41:46] So it's just something you know just fun idea like I said is just something Get us talking more and so we don't have a 15 minute podcast But you know I think that was you know the cool I think the NBA Probably the best thing to do it in

[00:42:04] Because I think it's the lead that Does the most You have to change things up or you know changes with the culture what anything you know They cool Stay here put the kids

[00:42:25] I think you know that's I think the NBA be perfect for just really transition they move I don't see that working in And I feel per se just because it's such a discrepancy as far you know even if you do have like you know your

[00:42:48] You know you're you are quite accept Tides things I mean just a town where we'll just sort of mean there's no way you know I just don't see those type of teams you know being able to be there NFL team

[00:43:01] I think it's much but it doesn't where it's gonna happen There's nothing probably is going to be the best lead As far as you know The possibility of a G League

[00:43:13] Go to the North come really I mean just because you know what NBA 2 but our 13 players of course is going to be tough when I'm still But I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean Just because

[00:43:43] You know you look at it I mean there's so many great players from college I mean you think about the leaders like 30 if we had even with the extended teams I started to team 13 You know 13 14 players on the team I mean that still leaves a lot

[00:44:02] Over the years a lot of talented players Not in the NBA for a say it's I mean And if they have a reason to stay in the US Yeah I mean We see a lot of guys going you know playing Europe

[00:44:20] And you know they said home and then you think because How about chance to really get some who up to the NBA You know I think that's nothing really cool Yeah you mentioned basketball at the town level on that and basketball is kind of sport where

[00:44:38] We mentioned Kimba Walker's you can run one guy can just get all the fire and lead a team yeah take over and It would be fun to keep some of those college stars back in the game

[00:44:50] That's the other thing I forgot to mention them and those missing something Get rid of the one and done rule Go back to win if you want to draft a kid straight out high school awesome Or you know if they you know

[00:45:03] So too many kids now it's ruin the college game to agree These guys going you know they were gonna go for one year It's changed away coaches recruit you know It's just a little crazy sometimes

[00:45:16] I get rid of that rule have guys go to college that want to go to college I guess that I think major league baseball's got the best of those You know NFL's got a good way you know you got to be three years out of school

[00:45:29] It makes sense or NFL because your body needs time you can't have kids fresh out of high school You don't want to yeah, you don't want to 18 year old one of the chase down by Mike at Parsons That's not going to be well for you

[00:45:46] But the M.O.B. you know they you can either come out of high school you can if you're the kid You can take the contract go to the minors you know start your professional career or

[00:45:57] You can go to college, but a college you got to stay the three years so Same thing or you got to be three years high school So that way you actually stay in college you commit to it. You develop And then you can play pro ball so

[00:46:13] I think it's easy And then also easy and also because if I am you look at it I mean our great college player that maybe We know we're not gonna have a great assembly You know there's gonna stay in college because they'll be can get 500,000

[00:46:33] And where as you know he was going to the NBA because You know he was the hottest names like for example if they were Mark Sears You know five years ago There's no doubt Mark Sears whether he's going first second he doesn't carry going to the lead

[00:46:52] You know because this is you know it's he had his time to shine people know his name Because there's not a team of people Now I mean he you know thought about going to league but at the end of the day

[00:47:06] You know he came back to college because You know he was gonna make probably more than they may To a contract or you know second round contract whatever you know You know you're a pay debt Then I definitely allow

[00:47:25] To not the college game because you know we're gonna make a stay Three years because they've enabled to make money and looks at support There are little brothers sisters Things that they're pressure for today. I think lots of league You know that was always the plan for them

[00:47:43] More or less take care of the family whatever They need to do their We can do it in college But it also is gonna just help to the college basketball fan because you know I'm not sure if you know

[00:47:59] Parkour fan or you really you know followers to simply change the venture thing You know that there's not a lot of I don't know drummer Magic kind of God just because Honestly that casual person doesn't know who they had to watch You know give people a year

[00:48:21] You know you don't have these you know same players coming two three years You know in the 90s You know you know You know the Duke teams Caroline that seems You know you knew that You know whoever

[00:48:39] Yeah, you knew the big team. You knew the star players on smarty star players Yeah, you don't really see like a Duane way much anymore You know he played four years at Marquette, you know, which is a solid school But not a not a blue blood and

[00:48:57] Yeah, then he became one of them be as best players for you know decades and some change Yeah, it's just an idea. I guess that I'm sure it's a way I do it but I just I think I think it could work I think it would definitely

[00:49:21] Get eyes on the game Just for the fact that relegation part of the Better options as far to play up You know the better chance if everybody says healthy of getting a troll The two best teams making the finals or Plant playing somewhere in the playoffs

[00:49:44] Of course, you know, it's a do occur but at least you know You know the Celtics You know didn't play the I don't know if you had a No, no, no, no, the Celtic you know better chances I might got Celtics in the you know 76ers

[00:50:10] You know, you don't have a better chance of that You know happening with you know Just a 16 best teams there, Brandon the East West and You know match up based upon that

[00:50:25] You know, with the in the way I was thinking at the design of the four divisions and then Just the top the best 16 teams that where you don't have You know some of these years, especially you know we see it a lot with the West

[00:50:40] The team to finish is like 11th in the West We'll have a better record than the six best team in the East And that way they don't get screwed over if you got their 11th Has record in the copper and the league, you know, you know, this year

[00:50:55] So just like if we use this year as an example, one through 16 would have been Boston, okay C Denver, Minnesota, LA Dallas would have been there as your six seed overall Meet the next the bucks the pelicans The sons The calves the magic

[00:51:20] So we're a mat now one two three four five six six Okay, well the lakers The sixers the paces and then the heat What have been your 16 seed so your matchups you know would have been No Boston versus the heat, you know, which happened anyway

[00:51:40] But then you get some interesting ones like okay see what a play the paces in the first on Denver Would have played the sixes in the first on you get a M.B. versus Joker series

[00:51:49] Yeah, first you know, Minnesota versus the lakers you know, and you know versus the brawn Clippers are the magic or the interest one your your Mads would have played the calves the first round

[00:52:05] Nick's would have played the sons and then bucks and pelicans will just square it off When Christmas Yeah, I mean if you I mean if you have like you know if you know if Brian's helping Ryan versus the

[00:52:24] I mean that's a hell of a bitch. I want to see that for five games Yeah exactly But yeah, it's just just something to think on Yeah, but so you know if we have some

[00:52:42] You know we might do that a time or two again the summer before we start talking College of fall football previews and stuff Just to fill some time generates conversation But that's pretty much all we got to talk about this week

[00:52:58] So let's go ahead Greg let's spend it out real good for you later You know, definitely real good Pinging out for me can went to finally saw inside out too I mean I like you know, you know, it's good Coverage done slow dance good message

[00:53:17] Sun really loves the inside out seriously with throw See it I mean if I say me anything by the way, I've seen it there You have kids whether it's you know the kind of an adventure high school

[00:53:30] Just not I think if they're good, yeah, well we have a good And It's probably the I guess the highlight of the other week this past week Other than that you know just Make it through the summer. I guess just trying to prolong it because going to

[00:53:57] Almost imagine Right Just give me I had a good holiday weekend as well nothing too special you know I'm getting to that age now where I'm you know want to Getting annoyed by the late night fireworks, you know my poor dog

[00:54:18] She hates it and that's kind of a newer thing she actually used to never care about storms or fireworks And then I can't remember for his last year that you're before but we were out in the backyard

[00:54:29] And it's kid in the apartment complex right behind our yard shot off one and it was loud And that just scared her she ran under the deck had to like pick her up to take her inside

[00:54:41] You know both things scared it now, you know now she hates it so she was following me And they were you know it's one thing it's going to happen. It's okay And then of course they were going to like 130 in a morning

[00:54:52] Yeah, so she was back with me and my office and you know Poor thing yeah But I was going to say We're done it real good specifically. It was just air conditioning always a shadow every year It's hot and AC is beautiful

[00:55:17] Yeah, we know that right stuff take for granted until it goes out A couple years ago we had some kids that went and goes out and doing July man Yeah, wow and just how big of a big day it's one of those things take for granted

[00:55:38] It's not fair in your life Yeah, that's one of those and particularly in you know, I hear you're just like where we live it's crucial Oh yeah, it's not where you can make it really

[00:55:53] No, we've had our heat breakdown a couple of times since we've been here in this big hole But you know couple space leaders have done the trick for you know a night or two to get it you know but now you know there's no way in hell if

[00:56:06] You know, our AC would now of course, you know we got to be one of the late winner but I'd be in a hotel until it was six Yeah, I mean it's just not doable just because There's one guy kids and different dance pads. Yeah, yeah

[00:59:16] I'm gonna kind of interest you I'm gonna get some of the things Yeah, I'm a fan of where I think it's been a good transition to the post Roman era they talked about Roman so obviously when he's coming back he's going to be a Face now again

[00:59:36] And what they did with Paul Hamin all that I kind of like that direction though with the solo lead bloodline Those guys there's a certain like violence to them Yeah, I like it Kind of like that Probably started in W.

[00:59:57] Yeah, I was you know they were they came in tough and rough And you know When Kevin asked to like run the stereo into the trailer You know they're nasty they beat you up for kind of guy way too big out of control

[01:00:16] Yeah, I like where there was going the crazy thing with the bloodline now is You could have so many wrinkles other because there's so many different people that you can bring in from their different families

[01:00:28] Yeah, like the bloodline was so many childhood brushes are still on even a wall You know, especially if you're gonna have some more some more people so Yeah, I think we're doing a good job but let's do what they do on with that Storyline

[01:00:46] Yeah, no I'm excited to see where that guy is there And then I wanted to say you And then you were messing with and I was keep on going here but You know, and he's been there. He's got to work with men if we could

[01:01:24] It was a big thing but that's kind of like Never kind of here and it's not how big he is enjoying it as much as they thought they would

[01:01:34] Yeah, I am this is something I talk about with a friend of the Alabama take day with Smith a lot. He's Cody just does not Do it for me as a face just something about him. He's got a very punchable face

[01:02:55] Rich boy privileged cocky heel that's great at what he does Yeah, sure maybe maybe even build a small kind of factions table around them You don't have lackeys something like there but Yeah, I've always Way to go there just because I don't know this

[01:03:16] You can only go into some some of your in And Same line what he want to talk about Everybody you know Seems like it's the same thing every week Maybe wrong me that was a cool story line but after that What are we getting to
