Yes, it is the last full week of July training camps open up tomorrow. A nonplaying season.

Free agency window. The new league year that started weeks ago is now kind of a little bit more explosive. Good to see you over there Christopher Brockman how are you rich with them much older than when I saw you on Friday is not true. Jefferson much over time I saw you on front face of the Ritsema life spent open of the unbilled stuff so it makes sense and DJ Mikey when I saw the AARP card. While the existing ERP here 50 and you don't ask for answers like how did you know you I know you did not get one TJ made it out and keeps on I could be anywhere from like 35 to 65 US Marshall Faulk was handicap.

You don't tell is not about the candy. My boy Gerald says you like Blake Brody never aging as I get a picture from 2000 and one from last week… Bless you, and normally I introduced my turn I saw a birthday on July 23 in this room that's greatness. That's crazy. That's great is really crazy Leo. Also Mike, this is the 10th straight day works and will end this week until you when you announce your will and all that over the next three hours of this program right here on NBC Sports on Peacock throne to be on NBC Sports audio Sirius XM channel 85 as we are. Every day after Dan Patrick show and I was just for his chat with Charles Barkley which will talk about later on this program also. We say little are terrestrial radio listeners are Odyssey listeners or podcast listeners cumulus podcast network is what puts our podcast out every day and sponsor you can get any podcast you darn well please.

We also appreciate those who subscribe to our YouTube page YouTube.com/which doesn't show for anything that you may have missed. Okay so I'm somebody's always very honest and and the worst take I've ever had in the history of this program, which turns eight years old and a couple of months. Worst take effort was when Yana sits at a couple had just hit for ages was about to hit free agency. After that bubble year in which the heat made the finals but lost to the Lakers and I said do not trade for Llamas. If you are the heat not break up your team for Yana's don't trade for your honest don't do it you know and know my head on the six I know is exploded and then every single NBA analyst that we had on the program I tried to what would be the word not arm twist, but I tried to passive aggressively get them to join me in my opinion, and all of them.

I think Richard Jefferson laughed immediately like I get it right, I walked in the door earnestly thinking somebody's getting a grasp has to agree with me right.

Nobody did, and its worst take I've ever had. Mea culpa, which I can remember I was kinda new here still in after the second day you said it.

I didn't know if I could disagree that types of work, I could just politely disagree with somebody, I'm just sitting here like you know so it is with as a backdrop, that I might so into a similar pool once again hope with Kevin to rent now on the trading block for KB say somebody not exactly don't trade for why would you break up what you got going on right now is the team that loses the NBA finals, and I'm saying Joel to don't do it you agree with somebody else will come to well the Welge bomb today is that Kevin Durant still out there with the trade request made public through reports on June 30 and I was even one women sitting around, why, why isn't Durrant… So it works right right NBA all world best player on planet Earth, says I want out. V got four years and let me get this right $198 million left on his contract. He wants to get out and I even said that they like what one thing that she's know what you say you got four years left.

Sorry, sorry. And so the fact that this thing is still going on Told him that is entirely possible. Well, what would you saying the Celtics are now a team believed to be a front runner, or intrastate or what's the verbiage used here that the Celtics are among the teams to engage in talks have emerged among teams engaged in talks and a possible deal.

That's the phrasing he used and he said Celtics appear no closer requiring to rent than others. In discussions with the Mets, but Boston's ability to include All-Star forward Jaelyn Brown is a centerpiece and offers does help make the team for a minute formidable and pursued sources safe and that's where I was.

I will hold on what white wire than why the Celtics to cough up a 25-year-old with two years and $56 million left on his contract just gets better and better and better every year and he's yours and you got him along with Tatum and pics you got from and that's why you even flip him typical. Why would you do owe Kevin to rent. Yes I got it but I wouldn't do it I wouldn't do it now sham shore Rania of the athletic you want to step further and said they've offered a package for Durrant that includes Jaelyn Brown a Jaelyn Brown package that Brooklyn turned out encountered return counter account to offer counter sorry but maybe it's Brown. Plus, it's got to include Brown, Brown, Tatum to see what the Prudential building. Also, I saw something that surrounds smart Derek white and a bunch of pics the pack away. I guess you already some time Lords. There and Tatum's obviously there and you get to rent ages 33 through 37. I wouldn't do it now. I don't know if you want me on your site. Here, Corel Rich, I do want you on my design train every honest guest pianist was 26, we were talking about trading him that Kevin Durant could be 34 when the season starts with multiple big injuries in recent years your team that was to happen right away was Cheyenne from the NBA champion only when shower the heat in the bubble. We looked at a fleet made the finals so they were no public company with a shy of what you have slept with her gets deleted sold on signing up on its I was on one this morning and when I saw when I woke up to this I believe I responded with a curse word to the our group text book here that close to the finals you got better this off each day you got better you improve your team so close to winning right. Maybe you got there because Chris Middleton get hurt and that's totally fine. Maybe it talks of this or trade offer is an overreaction because you're just afraid of goddesses power totally get that you don't need Kevin Durant just cut the eternal turnovers per quarter.

Maybe I got back around work of video Celtics post a one over the weekend. He's like holding dumbbells and jumping out of the pool. Awesome ballhandling dribbling this off-season you place a great defense don't bust, don't trade for Durrant, sorry to say this year. I was so wrong that you know what Rich it's okay it's okay to be wrong this time to have an appropriate take the next time. This is the appropriate tank. You do not trade for The nets you absolutely why why would you like it, why would you get out there because it creates turn brown with a three letter tweet SMH shaken by head. I read this to one of two ways. Rich only two ways this SMH is that report is BS like there is no way to or warrants. SMH WTF why am I constantly always involves nonstop and trade rumors days in some other it's cool I whether it's and whoever he's always involved in trade rumors. He was on occasion, the guy who was better than Tatum for him to do it in order for them to win playoff games, most often than not, the NBA finals.

He was our best player when we doing awesome Brad Brown do not break up the Jays to go 11 it's over there. Mr. Philadelphia, Mr. Martin, I'll take less do you want the money. I don't care as long as you win me and help me when it you we got no problem, James Hart given the honey buns back to me looking at, he's going to make it up made. But you know, do it optically.

It was a good move for don't trade for Durrant know about that. I didn't do if your boss if your Boston don't have Malcolm brought no so Brown said expendable stop is not all. Brogdon Artie said I'm good be in the six man stay the course chip chip team where the betting favorite right now. What we do is stay the course, the energies you shift. That's great. #What's happened since I hate the rich sets of laws.

Not only were friends. We were on the job and now were not friends it out a lot I thought about the sixth inning was like a lottery is like lottery numbers when it was nothing. I would like Cloris to the All-Star break and was 25 runs as a parable when his patriots camp open and I'm done with some boxes here tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm over it over it. Okay so you know I just had enough sense and Spidey sense yesterday as you are always think football first right was thinking football first, but I just Spidey sense, and like I need them. I would everyone knows it's windy, a kind had like that sick sense the way he had one about the impending legal bear trade. About three weeks ago I stayed in the name is Roth's rust hole type time is a flat circle soliloquy on ESPN windy just talking about. Keep an eye on the Utah Jazz know why you had to walk by lunch time pointing going on going up a little.

Everyone knows and so I decide I reached out to him like I would like to come on come on we should introduce him with this music every time.

Yeah, my riches. Who knows, you should do as wolves for our Rudy barricades will be okay so femoral. I can't say that word means by when were seeking to join us but we do have football on the brain so marks laureth will join us as well and it's all on Fox analyst and the comedian David Arnold who has the current number one comedy special on Netflix now for the week. These come in here and studio is a diehard pronouncement the Sean Watson news will break with him physically here because at some point we find out he's there. Sean Watson's at Brown's trade is seen as quarterback support beforehand. They show that the Browns put a video of him walking in, I doubt it.

Looking out the last video still Chubb is allotting 8000 now with a bar that looks like licorice is lifting. He was lifting, but it was more than the 145 Mike workshop was was squatting so you got to so that's where rolling here on this program let us take a break. Why would love to hear from you. 844204, which numbered up. If you think that Durrant should not be acquired by the Celtics. I can't believe I'm saying these words.

I can't believe you are agreeing. But then again the Blue Jays this court again. So check on that. Since windy when we come back du jour. Any person keep you dry all day.

Ryan went horseback or the program height O'Brien hi Rick how are you I'm doing fine.

So what is the latest from your end of things on what's going on with Durrant. The Celtics and anything else on that front right about today from Wojcik so front of everybody's mind. My talks are not brand-new though the Celtics have been talking to the net all along. When they offered Jaelyn Brown. I don't know when that was.

But it wasn't yesterday or the day before that that offer been there for a while and the thing about it is Rich wearing this terrific you wait so different from all the star players who have pretrade for the last decade because he's got four years on his contract.

It's not like when Anthony Davis – it's not like Nikolai Leonard at it's just different and not a playbook for it and so the net because of that are asking and scene price and select go to our lives whether we were ever in the bidding for something or we watch things.

What happens when something is so expensive. Nobody wants to pay you know Bugatti company found in the barn or you know oceanfront real estate in Santa Monica that the price is so high. One of two things happen it either on the market and doesn't get sold or the price drop and if you're if you don't want to pay the price and you're in the market for you.

Wait for the price drop and that is exactly what happened with Karen. This is something that is extremely valuable on the market and nobody wants to pay the price for and so they are now waiting for it to drop and the net there just waiting for someone to come up with the stalemate for a hi you know highly valued NBA player. I totally get that.

Brian, I totally understand. Why would the Celtics be willing to part with Jaelyn Brown on the front nuance after Jaelyn Brown had a contract that is very likely not going to end here, you know, in the NBA.

You can open you when you're in a contract and you want to extend your contract and we just recently saw.

For example, with Devon Booker and Carl Anthony towns. You can only extend your contract. A certain percentage is one of the arcane rules and so even if she would Brown was all excited with the Celtics even if they had gone to in the last year and he had averaged 50 points again and felt 100% from the field and he would telling people that you never want to leave the office, get life he would not extend the contract because his contract with them right now.

Limit how much he can extend for the Celtics as they look long-term are probably facing Jaelyn Brown, eventually becoming an unrestricted free agent on them in two years and then not having control over where he's going to go. They know on the grand scheme of problem confronting the Celtics.

It's not sitting there on the front burner, but it is something that is an issue out there. By the way, this is exactly you know the core reason why the San Antonio Spurs traded the Dante Murray you may affect your felt my God, why would they trade All-Star in the middle of his contract prime and that's the reason that they were afraid they could keep him and you train him when value is high, so I don't think so pick their scheming about where they can trade Jaelyn Brown. Oh my God, we got a trade. I think they realized that there is a coming issue with his contract and if you're ever going to trade him. Why would you not trade him to get a player Kevin Taranto could take you closer to the championship. I don't think they're making calls, offering Jaelyn Brown around offer presented itself.

This situation I think they would. They were remiss not to at least explore it. It does mean they don't like them.

Of course I understand that that will be the premise out there that you once something like this gets out there that Michael my God they want to get rid of him. They hate him. You could get that next five minutes you want out of their barely true, but I realize that it's all buried in nuance and it's going to get translated when Horst here on the Rich Eisen show. Honestly, I also get you saying that you know it's it's it's a dance between hoping that the price drops.

If you do want to rant and hoping that you can get through that.

If you're the next. Any chance that the nets have told Durrant forget it. You're staying here. We want you is that as had been a possibility all I think that at the moment. Rich and I mean I really have to say at the moment because somewhat volatile, although I think it dormant right now but I think their position in we can't get our price for you so you try to run this back and see if we can do it better.

There is precedent for Mike that 2007 Kobe Bryant have pretrade effect. If you remember he went on, even if no on national television and that the word something to the effect of, I never buy to play the Lakers again. I've asked them for three and the late night that time Kobe.

He might as well data for your contract because he had no trade clause in the contract he was able to veto any trade in the Lakers went out and looked for offer with the bull and a fiddle.

Take a look at the ball. For these players and Kobe said no you can't trade you for those players because then when I go to Chicago you won't be good enough and they went around and around and around like this throughout the summer and eventually fed Kobe or under contract. We can't find a trade, let's just try to work this out and Kobe came back and later they traded for problem solving with an x-ray file so I think you know there is precedent now that the reality is that Kevin Durant was the one who started the request of the trade.

He will decide whether or not he remains pleasing situation, but the same sort of field notes, team steel, ready to offer the price that the nets want for Durrant and thought yet if you can't get your price.

I think it's common if you were trying to sell something that extreme value to you and you couldn't get your price you're more likely to just pull off the market as opposed to making a bad deal.

So I think that's where the nets are right now we don't know where Durrant is on that Durrant is tweeting about things that are not related.

His situation is not sharing feelings are on that but I think that's where the nets are right now they are not getting the offers that they deem worth and value and so I think I like the project under contract for four years. Let's try to work this out in September course in the interim know a lot of folks prime when Horst attempted to CSI to the DNA on the decision by Durrant to ask for the trade out of Brooklyn and that being made public. Two days after Kari Irving ops back in with Brooklyn and there's a lot of connecting those dots that Kari says I'm back and then Durrant says I'm out is that is that correlated in your mind of those two things mutually exclusive wars that are direct line. Kari says I want back and Durrant says that one out. We think we know that Durrant and Kai.

We were talking during Durrant during every negotiation. Contract we know that because Kevin said as much in the last. His last comment on the situation. He did a podcast on his podcast, networking, and that he would communicate with Tyree although he said he wasn't telling them what to do. He was standing back so I doubt I don't know for sure okay to be 100% clear. I don't know for sure. I Their phone line but I doubt that Kevin's trade demand came as a surprise to Kylie Irving but I do think that Tyree was worried about making the best deal for him, and considering there was no way to get that $37 million out of the market.

Not much because nobody that there wasn't team with Things this summer who needed a player like Campbell in position to go for a player like him. I think he made his mind up relative to his own situation, but having said that, I don't think that the net do something with Tyree Irving until they know what's happening with the rent because at the end of the day. If the smoke clears and may still have Kevin Durant Kylie Irving on their roster. They got a very formidable team they can hold it together is a different question. And the crazy thing about this is Rick.

I know that this statement fell while about to make. I actually like the nets off added a couple of nice veteran they traded for Roy O'Neill from the from me yesterday that a player they needed was a defensive three point shooter they're going to get to get healthier similar player throughout last year get to be healthier coming back are going to have great shooting on their team. Like I think they can be pretty darn good if they could hold altogether. Of course the holding of the problem. When Horst here on the Rich Eisen show so you just mentioned voice O'Neill the acquisitions of the nets from the jazz and that leads me to your final moment.

Brian often couple weeks ago where you went on what I thought was a very rustic hold true detective type soliloquy on time is a flat circle, watch the jazz. I deepen on the jazz and bone weeks we saw Gilberto traded later on that night, your foremost to bone up on memes to the pointing of fingers, and all a business stuff. I knew that really go very, very close to getting trade but you know I 100% during trade because obviously that was a pretty complicated while deal, but when I knowing that the bear was about to go traded and having seen that Royce O'Neill trade which was indicating that potentially two superstars or stars were about to be on the market that was sort of my way of telling the viewer and you know the first letter in yes yes understand printed like I know that I don't have boots that you will sing to you but sometimes we try to have a modicum fun, fun, were allowed to have or not ended on Mike Locust by and so I was trying to you know I was trying to avoid coming out and saying pretty good. There is about to get traits sides then I would've been married to that for the next 72 hours. There have been on all audit coming at me from 15 different side demanding critical bear updates and information Brian what is a very scary very, very, very, very late, great.I just didn't want that in my life because I also knew that there's a possibility wanting to get traded because I thought of the trade the night before and I didn't put the deal together because I later found out that the deal is pretty complicated. What I was trying to do. Number one, have some fun because with a block of about 25 minutes. Have a little bit of time there and evening without even gone out that we so you know Stephen, it wasn't there. And so, like I had a little bit of time trying to have a little bit of fun without going too far with what I said I will like to also help the Friday of the holiday's holiday was on Monday so the long weekend were not much happening. People were able to have fun. It was television. Brian and I love that there was a message to the madness right there, so clearly you're the man. Ask what's going on with Donovan Mitchell and she don't understand what's the scoop with members Utah going to end up clearing no yard and the New York Knicks on their action.

Okay, let think the word and just ignore them because dad telling people openly trade really go bear and then everything when our country, Donovan Mitchell and I don't know if their credibility is the greatest right now. So if you look at would pitying has traded start weather with Kevin Garnet and Paul Pierce.

Or now we go bear his pride awfully high and you saw.

He did Dr. go bear. It was a hall one of the highest price trades in NBA history right up there with Paul George Corso, Paul, George, one has a bit of Africa on it because the Clippers were kind of training for all George and Kawai Leonard for single player acquisition is just aptly breathtaking. So with that is what you know about Danny Ainge I think you can rest assured that he is not in a trade Donovan Mitchell until he get the price that he had his mind and that could come tomorrow.

I doubt it. That could come in a month that could come in three months he has died and that's under contract for four years and from what I am from what I understand on the Mitchell while he recognizes that he doesn't want to be on a total rebuilding team, which is where the jazz are headed. He is not forcing the I think he is not. I think he realized his father to get trade. At some point and anything that he does to cause waves might delay that more complicated so he is planning on you know, being a good profession REPORTING and way to get traded, and so as a result, I think you're going to see it drag out.

Now let's go to the next.

I granted it was a different front office. The same owner that this is very comparable to me to the Knicks were really wanting to get Carmelo and if you remember that played out over six months and we talked about dozens of different trade scenario, there was time for another team, the Brooklyn and I did get the New Jersey Nets of the timing of the Brooklyn were normal traded form at the end of the day that Nick basically paid a massive amount for Carmelo Anthony. They ended up giving the nugget just about everything that they wanted and so if you are Danny Ainge and you know that that's what the Knicks in the same ownership might do, and you have held your price out.

I think that you will see there is the Knicks have.

I know there are other teams interested but with the price that the jazz are looking for which is somewhere in the neighborhood of that war first round pick that they Dr. go bear and then other players. I think the Knicks of the team that can pay. I think the Knicks of the team. The jazz want to do the business with and I think you know the Knicks ultimately will probably feel some pressure to execute that deal especially if the fees and start they don't start out hot though I would guess that eventually Donovan Mitchell is a Nick I think that's a educated guess. I don't know if court and I think it's really right now all about the two side doing their own posturing and negotiation with the price is right. When horse here in the rich doesn't show a couple minutes. I have left one last tea leaf read from you Brian. When Horst and Mrs. involving Russell Westbrook and his agent breaking up not normally I don't pay attention to that stuff.

But there was a very compelling statement put out by his former agent of 14 years, saying that the trade that Westbrook might need to get out of Los Angeles would require additional value, meaning you don't ever say in the likeness of God include first-round draft choices in the not to do that. Even then, such a trade may require Russell to immediately move on from the new team via buyout. This is from a statement saying that the agents belief is that this type of transaction only serves to diminish Russell's value in its best option is to stay with the Lakers and embrace the starting role in support that Darvin Hamm publicly offered and then they broke up, saying that the irreconcilable differences that mean Russ once out is that what you're Suzette Woodward read here in what's going on.

Brian I don't know you want out. I think what Rick, I agree. I've never like 20 years I've covered the NBA and his agent and now ex-agent that I would say is a veteran longtime agent. The guys done. I don't want to shortchange and maybe have done $1 billion deal maybe more that he is not. He is not without experience and so I think the most interesting thing about that is that they think that is saying there is that if Russ gets traded. He's being traded basically to fit the contract and that he will be likely released by his new team. This is only value is that the that the Clear is that if you know the kind is up his accounting move and that he saying based without saying it that the offer be the role that Darvin Hammond is offering and what you think the starting point guard, but as a role player Darvin Hammond pretty much spelled out exactly what you want from them is better than he could get if he gets traded.

I'm not sure that I'm not sure that the proper bus trip was traded to a team and released tomorrow. I'm not sure that you have a team right away. I think he would eventually get back in the league, but I think this concept. The people would merely want to sign them in again. It's not so much that people don't I know that there are rough fans out there which to find this absolutely and insult and I'm sure Russ can tell clearly doesn't believe this because he fired his agent over it. But it's not so much what he is with his abilities are. It's what he's willing to do for a team if what he what his what you know what he's going to accept as a role in more than his actual skill and so that's where the Lakers are trying to trying to squeeze them into a box. I don't think will be successful. Rich because I think what Darvin Hamm is asking to do with that screen play defense first and stand in the corner before I don't think you've equipped to do that and maybe if he worked tirelessly over the summer.

Maybe you would have a shot at it but it sounds like you spending more time trying to break out of that situation then to fall into it and my question is if Russ doesn't embrace what Darvin Hamm has put in front of him and it seemed like he not based on what sad about faith that that statement what the Lakers do if he's not willing to accept the role. How do they. How do they approach in this even if they can't trade because the training of the complicated. He makes $47 million it hard to find a trainer trade out there they can do nothing with the problem. They've asked their exploring them and maybe they'll find something, but if not willing to fill that role.

What you do you even bring them to camp and so Ross is on the edge right now. It could go a multitude of different ways, but I would say that that statement in that breakup did not help the Lakers, either with their relationship with Russ what Darvin Hamm hopes of getting him in that role, or in their hopes of trading just like why breakup with your agent when you said something you know is good shortchange of $1 billion worth the contract. You could say that that's all Westbrook's money right so it's insane how successful this relationship isn't for the agent to basically come out and say I'm telling him to stay in. This is an irreconcilable difference were done.

I mean, that is what more indication you need to know that Westbrook isn't buying what I am is selling right mean and not tenable for the Lakers. I don't know why said that I almost think it was him trying to help him trying to say rough like this but you know from what I understand Russ about their shopping for new agent and he's looking at big names and if he lands a big name agent.

What is he going to task that agent to do why Glenn hire another eight you know what you know what is the new way to good asked for dad's house. They wouldn't do that. You think you're jumping to a conclusion that might mean leaving the Lakers. I don't want to jump to the conclusion but you're not you're not you're not ridiculous thing I really love to chat again you never disappoint you.

Always overdeliver greatly appreciated.

Let's chat again soon for my textbook; okay thank you and thanks again man that's when worst ESPN the best love. And again, just real quick. This is not a tenable stance for the Lakers. Russell Westbrook is saying back to Darvin Hamm who gave him verbal bouquet after verbal bouquet in his introductory press conference with Westbrook off to the side. If he is not going to accept Ham's vision for him and he's got a go as if on the Lakers and am bringing in Darvin Hamm and this is the closing window of the bronze final years there right and he and you're handing off the keys to the store. Him you are not going to let something going on between Westbrook and the coach tear anything else apart.

This is an important moment for the Lakers for Hamm to put his own stamp on this team certainly would Lebron sitting right there and if the agent of 14 years is saying I'm telling them this is a bad move to leave here because he's going to get released and that's bad for the Westbrook brand, which he said throughout this statement is for skeletal frame and I think will bad for the Westbrook brand for him to be traded and then released and then sat there is a free agent and the next spot will be crypto.com sorry Lakers fans was called with broader nadir Hammond the lecture and if Westbrook doesn't buy that, then I'm selling out it's worth it. It's worth the pain of whatever pics you have to give to get him out.

Let Hamm have his own way his own stamp in his own team, and it shows everybody. It doesn't matter if you're press about all the member if you don't see the vision of our new coach out, take a break 844204, which numbered here.

The rechargeable technicals in combat back here on the rich doesn't show 844204 Rich being the number to dial in know some of our favorites have already done so just in Detroit back here on the program-generally, not just just before you jump in for you here. To be honest with you and yours are straightforward with all of our friends last time you called, you mentioned your only 55 and it just all of his friends like we all thought you I don't know why we not like you're like 6 foot six or some like that. I don't know what it is you know I love you not I was 5 foot five grays started going out, and I'm thinking I will play basketball. So much for that. Okay just tell you that we will like to see as you were like did you catch that one might like no closer to the tallest of all, and I for some reason the initial photo shopping of the shot of all four of us together to forward like you know the right wing brought me to grow offensive. The fact that Mike was talking is not is not be going there. Thou called God, like the power all, how they were so separate, so together with the power behind the. Check out the situation. No no no no no you Chris because the Celtics have the widest cure of any MBA thing number one number two above was probably one of the best things that because that's what kinds of star. Got to go back and I believe that Katie join in the Celtics will probably, can't curtail that you guys really know if they don't make it clear, but I definitely would not drink a beer like I called Jeffrey the greatest hands and hiring hands.

That's that's the temptation and that's why we have Brian when worst on when I always say he makes is smarter. He tells us what we may not know, and I did not know that Jaelyn Brown's contract requires him in order to make the most money to be an unrestricted free agent you eat. It does not suit him. It is not best for him. It does not make him the most money to merely extend it. So the Celtics know that and they know at some .2 years from now.

Jaelyn Brown in order to make what he wants to make will affect a free agency. And they know that.

And once that happens, anything can happen. You can lose him at age 27. Someone on purposely losing at age 25.

If it met you Kevin Durand knowing that Chris does that change your opinion know you rather run it back? Yes, we got two more years to do this were more arguably one of the best teams in the week but it's your job boom. I just made you Brad Stevens. Congratulations probably get a very good golf game will take some PB Chris so I know that because my brother-in-law's played with them fell for Jimmy, the events that he helps run so much as you Brad Stevens. It's your job to look over the steering and you know this is coming in two years so want to get the directors going to roll the dice with a 3 to 4 your to rent. When Domino is not much of a dice roll communities. There is a dice roll plus Kevin Durand point.

The point is a dice roll in terms of injury, think about it. I still stand. I wanted to go, I want to do it with your young coach, everything is just in the right direction going in the right directions to drink marks S our number two let's talk some football. We come back. I know it's Kevin's rabbit. It's good to be holy is to be 34-year-old Kevin Durant offers us a big entrance on the last 34 years and why is it not an appropriate.connects to go from June 28. Kari says I'm back on with you there June 30. Durand says about how is it not adopt connect as one would think the ranch staying if Kari stays because that's the reason why you convened in Brooklyn. That's why that's their best shots. That's their difference making dual right yes I mean you're looking for. The difference makers in the sling, which is why the Knicks apparently considering I saw I saw the trade while was on vacation as well.

RJ Barrett quickly and multiple what six first rounders was at the rumors asked first round I was some pleasure giving away every other day like a man could be born in New York City have a breasts and before their bar mitzvah. The next I haven't had a first-round draft choice in consecutive years of his entire life that's coming 12 years of nonconsecutive first-round draft selections. Now I just don't know what a first-round pick and in in the NBA means compared to obviously to the sport that I cover day in and day out. I don't know you know I would definitely upon the Lakers I would definitely cough up whatever first-round choices I need to make Westbrook disappear if Westbrook is not accepting what Darvin Hamm is selling or he's not all in on after last year.

No way you got yourself a new coach, a new situation, and in a whole new feeling. It's his show. Don, if you're not all in.

If were not overgrown in the same direction. Wherever long time sports cliché you want I detach the first-round picks there, but if on the next six first-round picks and quickly, and RJ RJ IQ in six first rounders.
