This is the gold show on the one threes and fours and fives Duke had five players drafted window more the 26 pic ends up with Minnesota was drafted by you, I donated drafted by used white why the NBA just doesn't allow teams to just say we made this trade everything as the get announced afterwards. It's been on bananas.

But whatever it is not a scribe cannot Edwards from CBSSports.com joins us on the Adam goal. Joe is my question is, did the Hornets do a good last night. Let's work let's work from the end back overall. Did they do well overall. They did okay.

I can't say it good or bad.

It's chaotically neutral. That's where I met with this one. It's a chaotic neutral. It really does depend on what you how you feel about honestly blazing gowns. Great pickup great pickup specially at 40, especially considering you may be losing Cody Martin afraid to restrict or create. It's a great pick and then the Mark Williams pick identity. I mean, you talked about this before. I'll bet he can defend. I hope we can defend at an MBA level. I hope that he can move his feet at a decent enough his medicals are good enough to overcome some lateral quickness to the jail and during Pickett the jail and during that stuff is where your going.

If you have a problem with the draft and how they drafted last night. The jail and during pick up or or the jail and during trade. How clunky it was. That is going to be where if you have a problem with what they did there and I can't necessarily say hey I you're overreacting. You effectively traded a late first round pick a look late lottery pick right for under pick a mid-twenties and three other second rounders that is kind of inherently problematic because you were getting lesser value. Now if you're going to get the guys if you want cool and at the same time Ms. Kupchak has made his money and made a lot of again the reason that there was a second first trumpet was because of Ms. Kupchak's ability to track in the second round of the Ponca grant which eventually became first round pick. The problem is just was so clunky it was just cultlike same old Michael Jordan Hornets that it kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

I cannot Edwards is joining us at not a scribe on Twitter a type chaotically neutral. It's a great way to describe it because first of all when this deal was made like I remember just following it online. The Knicks had made a trade a few couple pics I had time at number 11. They drafted somebody then traded in Oklahoma City, then even announce what the Knicks got back. It took like two hours to figure out what the Knicks got in return. I don't even know what that something sounded like three first round picks at whatever I don't care. But for to me, it if the Hornets were to do something and this is where I this is where they lose me is that if you wanted to trade one of those pics shouldn't you have attached it to Gordon Hayward to clear that salary off the books so you'd don't lose a Cody Martin to restricted free agency and that's a fair question, but I also kinda have to wonder what the appetite is to lose a Gordon Hayward in that building. We know that one of the owners later man made an offer sheet to him six years ago. Even though it was probably not likely going to happen and then when Gordon Hayward was introduced to this town. One of the big things was hey, this is the one of the owners favorite players. The owners always want to describe Charlie. We have to question at some point whether or not there was a real appetite for to trade Gordon Hayward and be quite honest, I don't necessarily blame them for not really having the appetite, especially if it probably would cost to both first-round because I think that's the big thing we've never seen someone especially if it was going to involve Detroit, we've never seen a team not have to give up multiple first rounders to stash $30 million of something more like that is going to basically be the same thing if and when Russell Westbrook gets traded this year, you're going to see sweeteners like multiple first round picks. Maybe they might even be unprotected to take on such that kind of money. It's not cheap, so I completely understand why the appetite might not be there if it's gonna cost you multiple first rounders in a small and it not necessarily small-market but in the mid market as well. I can't stand still in my mental speed through capital financial advisory group were talking retirement coach.

I'm a simple guy but I like colors. Tell me how I can colorcode money and get ready for retirement.

I like colors to highlight your oscillographs. I don't like just buzzwords what we try to do is we try to break down all those words on your statement.

All those numbers into three colors red, green, yellow people amazingly come in and most of the money is in the red getting Hannah Montana. Red means high horsepower, potential delegates hi loss potential.

You have to do. It's a give-and-take you can.

I want to do that or that yellow means liquid money to get any time suck on anything green. If you safe growth but also dig a lifetime income as we get closer to retirement. We need some green accounts. We have greens only color that denigrate those important appraisal support for you to next and people out of the thousand dollar value: ticket we can put together for you your very own total plan that has a green zone at the traffic light. I hope it's great for you 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000B through Kaiser. You have to explain this to me were talking with, cannot Edwards at not described on Twitter how are the Hornets in salary-cap and in a in is bad salary-cap spot with their roster.

I don't think they're in it bad salary-cap spot the warriors are are going to pay $7 billion to their roster. How can the Hornets can't can't find money to pay Cody Martin and they're worried about keeping Miles bridges. I think first things first on that and this is the thing that I like because we all saw the essentially the club sports memo liner note admitted to Sean Strawn's thing about the Hornets not be worrying about paying a max to two Miles bridges. I'm not sure anybody paying a max with I'm not sure the appetite there for 35 it gets 30 to 32. I think the Hornets a match that I don't think anyone is willing to do that but we also have to remember that it's only the warriors that are not afraid of the luxury tax.

That's the thing that I think we keep forgetting it's just the warriors like okay were making money hand over fist in San Francisco right now and were met and so therefore we can pay for that Charlotte was never going to be that keen on afraid of the luxury unfortunately is a big market and not to be, not good business.

I do think that they're going to move something around.

I'm not sure it's actually going to be Gordon Hayward.

I would be surprised) Rozier but I think we need to remember almost everybody's afraid of the luxury tax is not just the Charlotte cannot Edwards joining us here on the Adam go to him by God, not even worried about the luxury tax. I'd I know it's not my money, but I think if you if you're good and you make the playoffs demeanor the Hornets are knocking to be so foreign luxury tax. It's going to be really that prohibitive.

Either way, what does this team need to add between now and my market as a summer league, but between now and the start of the season grown-ups got the answer grown-ups they need adults in the room that had been there before that can teach kids how to prepare for stock because if we are honest with ourselves.

There were half a dozen names, at least where you could see that the teams completely unprepared and focus and you need those veterans round teacher how to prepare. I would love to see Peter talking here. I don't make is interested in a semi-read being the adult in the rebuttal now again that would even be Roger Birchall like that's the thing like a guy like PJ Tucker would make a ton of sense with this note know he's much more Roger Martin for more. Roger Martin that he would be saying like you at the same time I really do believe that were talking about a team that just needs of veterans doesn't know what to do, that have been in this league that can teach these kids because they have, I believe, at least six players under 23 national very roster so readily. Let me ask you about Gordon Hayward real quick.

As I advocated I said this yesterday. If I were the Hornets I would've packaged both fixed and Hayward and gone after a big man. I don't mind if that would've gotten you, Miles Turner, or if that's too much to get you Miles Turner but I think somebody like that would've been a man realize he's been around a while. Maybe these not the that the best option at that position but I would've thrown everything to clear Hayward's Hayward's contract off the books, but if Hayward can stay healthy, which is a huge if are the Hornets better off just having yeah I believe they are because when Hayward's in there there's a use one of them I would put it this way is one of the four or five guys that will put in the effort to stay in front of this man on defense that's in very short supply in Charlotte right now.

Maybe that changes with coaching start with a new coach which also is another thing you list on their chaotically chaotically now list but at the same time were talking about team right now that needs multiple things I do believe that this team is better Gordon Hayward on it. The record shows that, but at the same time. It's a matter availability of availability, whether that means your limiting minutes were starting to load management skip this guy, or even better, maybe he's coming off the bench next year.

Despite the optics of I think it's just they need him. If you're just gonna have to find a way to mitigate it so that he plays more than 40+ games a year .01 of the Minnesota theory about the head coach and Kenny Atkinson to you cannot have before let you go and I know it's it it's a bad look for Kenny Atkinson but for a guy whose career record is significantly under 500 and doesn't have a name that carries any gravitas around the league except from basketball junkies will just say that he is looking at his next gig as he better win or he's not getting 1/3 crack and may be the Hornets when he had time to think about it when he realized that maybe this is not the place for me to take my second stab at this let me wait for a better spot now we should've figured that out sooner but maybe this was basically about where the Hornets are as opposed to anything else I don't disagree with that but it goes back to you knew what this was when you signed up like that. That's the part that you come back to you knew what this was, you knew this was going to be a spot where hey I'm going to take some lumps while trying to get these kids to figure everything out with this. What I understand it, he just did the lightbulb finally clicked on. But after three interviews and then some coaching discussions and that like there's too much it's almost like this training so far down the road that granted put the brakes on said no and I'm actually I'm kind of happy form if he realized that Joe will not die for this.

But at the same time it is awfully late, figuring that place you would have gone through so much of this process to the point where I'm not sure that he could've done this annually. He could have been interested in out logic. It was short, basically short of being in Charlotte and saying I can't do this and then on top of that we could do is agent to load like I think the manner in which he came with the manner in which you did it is probably the worst thing about this, everything else I think your theory. Rory McElroy broke up with his fiancée over text merger literature and he's recovered pretty nicely. Rory has recovered very nicely at not described on twitter cannot Edwards your man appreciate your time. Have a great weekend talk to person absolutely love these and I got up and I cannot Edwards community always meant celebrating the same goes for the business is going within them and with drizzly number one app alcohol delivery. You can find the biggest selection of beer, wine and spirits that are black-owned and women-owned MRI.

Think of them delivered and under 60 minutes making sickly purpose and discover great drinks with stories with celebrating calendar gently@organadrizzly.com ERI CLI.com to start something with purpose that may mainstage tonight right as I heard you say stinking and you said to me, Steve King's name came Steve King strange first name steep Canyon as I actually thought you said Steve King in my own not the author here there a lot of pregame leave King. I'm sure there are mind mainstage tonight yet durables athletic Park. It's really cool. This stage is basically right there above second base and low center shallow shallow centerfield there. There are three stages just in the outfield, shallow outfield second base area. Then there are two like alternate stages that they will have music going on at the same time say I think the, staggering the. The mainstay looks like it's a little more. There's an outside one. I think just outside the ballpark I think is were one of them is low over the month over the monster.

Think of the monster that it's actually the.

The entryway I were the fountains of the catering corridors of the second there's a concourse stage is also where Jackie's landing is out by gotcha right field is where stage is also very none of I think they are staggering them a little bit in terms start times and everything should be fun.

Great… There what's better than refreshments and live music, live music, your outdoors and it's all North Carolina bands, which is also facing it. Who could who could find anything better.

All right. When will we get to this point of the show on Fridays, we open up the mailbag. It's called in the mentioned did did you see the tweet that was circulating Dennis Cox. That was a home plate umpire Doug Eddings earlier in the week who got 29 ball strike calls wrong. Did you see 2929 ball strike calls wrong. It was the worst performance by home plate umpire wrote in the major leagues this year and I was watching this and you might not remember the name Eric Greg. But Eric Greg had probably the worst home plate umpire in performance in the history of organized sports like there were little league umpires who did a better job than Eric Greg did in a World Series game where Levon Hernandez for the Florida Marlins may not of been a World Series. He might've been a might've been a league championship series game anyway he could not you want to throw the ball close to home plate and Eric Greg Counterstrike IV pictures were like 8 inches outside and he was counterstrike. It was so bad. Anyway, Doug getting said, the worst performance of the year, statistically, with 29 missed calls. I want all of the average, but much better than that.

I would so Al said, I think I know the answer but are there any consequences for alms when they screw up this bed. It really was.

It was mind-boggling really bad to the point where the team that got hosed was the Blue Jays. The next game there hitting coach brought the lineup card out and was ejected before the games that I got awfully busy when he went to Doug Eddings. It said yesterday you sucked and they had no sense of humor and no like just let the guy bed that he didn't.

Anyway, the answer is, well, there are supposed to be.

I've always said this about major league baseball is it is horrendous how they choose postseason assignments you want to give the bad umpires who have been around a long time. Some like a freebie given the All-Star game. Who gives a damn about the All-Star game. Yeah but you can't let those guys work playoff games.

The fact that Angel Hernandez or Ladd's Diaz get postseason assignments or delegating is based on this, but I don't know Eddings to be a terrible umpire. I just know that this was bad, but I know Angel Hernandez is the worst umpire in baseball and there's no second place when he gets home he gets postseason assignments. That's where you should be basically put forth your however many umpires you need your highest rated umpires longevity means nothing. We want the best umpires story symbols but basically baseball doesn't do it that way. That is that's atrocious. All right, let's let's move on. This is this is Chris responding to the effect that North Carolina has not and will not, by the way, that is a dead issue now will not put forth a sports wager wagering bill. There they are being could they be called back into session I guess could to more the Speaker of the house.

Keep them in session. I guess don't bet on.

Sorry. Anyway, Chris is underlie expected politicians to do the right thing for once Bible passages being quoted that's true 1950s point shaving scandal brought up when athletes can now cash in on their and IL these people are so out of touch with the times.

Yes yes yeah, for the people who voted no year I don't know what you're doing. I don't know what you're doing. This is not a morality play anymore. I mean cigarettes are legal death by cigarettes. We know what that does what we do it that's on the try to ban alcohol yeah well yeah I what happened, like NASCAR, NASCAR actually when prohibition was enacted, people still drink right now. The state received nothing from it. People are still gambling. It's unbelievable on believable. All right, Tim, Mike, this is in reaction to Mike my tweet after Rory McElroy made about a 30 foot putt for a double bogey in the second round of the U.S. Open.

I basically said if there was ever a great double bogey that was it. Tim responded, I made a 15 on the par 3/6 hole at Pinehurst number two by rolling in a 14 footer nice next time I played knothole I made it to take special golf talent to have the opportunity to improve 13 strobes on one hole I also have made a long plug for a 15 seriously. I bet I made a 25 footer downhill for a 15 on the first hole of a golf tournament. It was pretty pretty good. I did not win. This is the atom gold shell
