Joel grows going to the Hall of Fame. I don't care that it weighs 180 pounds. Based on what we saw last night get into all the details with Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report, so given that I can and I try to have 4 1/2 hours worth the content that we move with an energetic pace to get it done in three hours.

I want to be that myopic if you want to be a part of the program pick up the phone, hit me up on Twitter.

Otherwise, as the substitute gym teacher used to say when my gym teacher at Siebel Noy L1 tree school in Pelham Manor, New York out of view of the Hutchinson River Parkway because my old man was thrifty. The cars went by so frequently legacy for my room help me sleep well because it was that nice but when Mr. Gainey, who was related to Bob Gainey of Montréal Canadiens fame was out. We had the substitute gym teacher. He would say hey kids, I can play kickball all day long so I'm happy to get interactive with you or I can do my job, which after all is why I am here coming up in 20 minutes. I have not been trying to avoid the National Football League, but because this is still a fallow. And because were about to go all in with the start of training camps and because were still waiting for the league justice for the Sean Watson I have tried to be patient. I want to pace myself, but will talk to Sean Watson in the future of Baker Mayfield. Should the Browns try to make up with Baker will get there in 20 minutes. A reminder, you can catch the show wherever you go on the terrific all to see If you miss anything. We got the podcast will be posted just after we are done before I dive back into the MBA and I don't want to do three hours of going through every permutation the big words are flowing to the might of been stuttering for the PQ tech conversation because I'm so wrapped up in my beloved pact will cover conference and its conversion happening right now but Kevin Durrant's can be exhausting because to make a potential deal work to get the level of compensation. Danny Ainge got for Rudy go bear fleecing the Minnesota Timberwolves that you have to get three maybe four teams involved. So rather than get bogged down in all those details here's I want to frame the Durrant's plus Kari Irving conversation in this hour. The program would Kevin Durrant's be so committed to forcing his way out of Brooklyn he be willing to say that we just saw with Ben Simmons he got his wagon just had the back surgery that one more level of uncertainty surrounding an enigmatic player that would Durrant's poll. The only card he has left to play the ultimate form of leverage. A good old-fashioned holdout not playing in less you change your mind and capitulate to my demands. We'll talk about it in five minutes to want to hit briefly on baseball. My first love in a Rich talks a ton of baseball and will Rich coming back on Monday I'll be listening and watching a peacock I might imagine a man who has his Michigan photo on his avatar all proud alumnus of the terrific school in Ann Arbor. I think riches can have a vastly different view of the Big Ten poaching USC and UCLA, and I did but that's the beauty of what we do. We all have different perspectives but since Rich talks a lot of baseball.

I want to maintain the spirit of the program. Are you excited the Darren judge could potentially get the 65 homeruns this year and I think the answer to that question might come down to where are you listening to the program. Currently or are you Yankee fan.

If you're in the New York tri-state area and I know the Yankee empire extends internationally, but if you love those pinstripes right like the line from Christopher walk-in when he's playing at Leo DiCaprio's father in catch me if you can why the Yankees when so much because the other team is mesmerized by the pinstripes of your Yankee fan I get it and you should be reveling like the Yankees of my youth 7778 yell at the standings. That's okay. I still get a newspaper delivered yes I am that old Yankees have a 13 lady in the AL East.

I realize we have wildcard's and different paths of the playoffs 13 game blade. Now if you want to be a historian, I remember team in Boston in the late 1970s that a 13 game lead in August and Bucky freaking dad came walking through that door in Fenway so we understand baseball can be witchcraft, weird stuff happens, but I don't see the Yankees squandering that lead and more to the point are they going to be even more lethal by loading up at the trade deadline, but I don't want to get into transactional stuff right now to me judge is fascinating for a couple reasons. If you're looking for historical cup Dave Winfield comes to mind in terms of the most lazy analysis tall guys who played in the Bronx. But remember, and if you don't know. We use that term unicorn a lot these days.

Dave Winfield was a unicorn. Dave Winfield was one of the most freakishly gifted athletes we've ever seen. Drafted by all the leaks that drafted by the ABA and the MBA, plus the NFL. He could do it all at 66 judge slightly taller 67 leaner. The problem for a judge contract and I'm not suggesting he's not to get a massive payday.

The problem for and I think will be the Yankees writing the check if not George Steinbrenner will emerge from his grave in stranglers kids Brian Weber infrared chosen Wednesday edition of the rich doesn't show you can slot in 1844204 Rich coming up in 35 minutes NBA analysis from Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report, but let's just say that judge finds a better deal and there's always one more sucker cross MLB the teams that actually spend money and will follow up on that momentarily. I think you gotta structured the deal to protect the interest of the club.

Knowing that there are a lot of comps for player 67 having success deep into his 30s were talking about it on Independence Day with Keith Law from the athletic Frank Howard is a name from yesteryear that comes to mind, but that's all the future. Let's talk about the present judges having a magnificent season and wore this 1986. Well, I don't think the show would exist but you catch my drift.

This would be what were talking about judges on pace….You would see in the newspaper. I still get as I just open up the sports section. The reach of the standings there be the side-by-side comparison Babe Ruth on this day had so many homeruns. Roger Morris had asked judge has wife Walt clearly everything changed after McGuire, Sosa, and Barry bonds so the record doesn't have the same kind of residence because the entire record book is been ginned up by the steroid error still, if we presume judges clean and I'm not trying to be in any way provocative. There's no reason to suggest that judge is not doing this naturally but when the be interesting if judge gets to 63, 64 home runs. What we do as fans, who's the home run chip because I know what the record books read but I also know what Mark McGuire has admitted to doing. We know what Sammy Sosa did and I covered the San Francisco Giants on a daily basis. From the moment that Barry bonds arrived to candlestick Park and save the franchise. They were on the verge of moving to Florida and I watched the evolution of his body and his head getting bigger and suddenly he sitting 73 home runs so I do think not only is baseball, not captivating is the way it used to, because it's all football all the time and now were consumed by NBA free agency in the first week of July. There is the steroid issue that still haunts baseball and has mucked up the record books and then beyond that, we just don't care about baseball.

The way we used to. So it would be a remarkable achievement and a wonderful conversation point about who was the quote unquote true single-season home run king.

But if judge made state maintains the space and we've seen guys have phenomenal first tabs in the tale of let's say he's in the Hudson September. I don't see this being the dominant topic because in September. All we care about is football plus college football soap just want to address a little bit baseball while at Peru's the standings.

Do you realize how many abysmal teams. There are now a major league baseball talking should be relegated another English Premier league reference, my goodness, I'm working hard to show you my knowledge the Orioles have been bad. I think since Earl Weaver passed her more to the point Cal Ripken walked away. The Royals are playing like the Royals again. The Oakland A's are doing everything they can to alienate the seven fans they have left not to show up so they can feel better about going to Vegas what you knew the Nats would be rebuilding. Did you think they would be 22 games out in the National League East. The Reds are abysmal with ownership that is clueless and the Rockies are 17 games back. Baseball has a real competitive problem in terms of the overall balance of the league, but since most of you don't care about what was the foundation of my fandom in the early 1980s.

I can't try to motivate you to somehow get riled up about this another's in a change because the owners refused to accept a salary floor and we know the players don't want real In a lot of ways luxury tax work says, But were not can I have the kind of financial stability. We have the other leagues because baseball is fundamentally broken.

Okay, let's shift to the MBA in advance of our conversation with Eric Pincus for Bleacher Report coming up in 30 minutes. So as I try my best to be creative with an assessment of Kevin Durrant II do think this is the fundamental point. How much would Kevin Durrant be committed to pushing this situation with the Brooklyn Nets to the limits and simply refusing to play now this is the oldest technique of a mall. We don't see it much in professional sports in the NFL.

Go back to Emmitt Smith. Remember he took it all the way. The regular-season cowboy started over to Jerry Jones finally found his wallet and they won the Super Bowl. It's a different structure now in modern sports plus the money is so big. If you miss game checks were talking about real financial consequences but the cop is right in front of us. In fact, it's a current teammates of Kevin Durrant, so long as he stays on the Brooklyn roster we saw last year.

Ben Simmons did not want to be a member of the Philadelphia 76ers and they shut it down. Now there was a degree of agreement between the team and the player, but we knew what was going on will give you another example.

John Walden play confused and didn't want him to play and he still made amazing amounts of money.

So the MBA is just different but what if the nets decide because of some straightforward reasons there miffed they need more time to come up with a coherent way to put together a multiplied team deal to get the kind of assets that they would need to justify moving Durrant and one quick footnote to the conversation we had about the warriors on Independence Day doing more research I gave you the names that came to mind that the warriors could offer in Jordan pool James Wiseman to draw the commedia take Andrew Wiggins off the list. He cannot be moved because of some nuances of the collective bargaining agreement doesn't matter. The warriors deal is not gonna happen primarily because I don't think Kevin Durrant wants to go back to the warriors. Case closed all reason. He's in Brooklyn is because he left the warriors because he got tired of Tremont Green yelling at him and he wanted to prove he could do it on his own. He could be the architect of his own success and the problem is, he teamed up with the wrong partner bet on yourself. I get it, but in the MBA unique to stars, maybe three if you Hall of Famer should go to what I have a good complementary third.

The biggest error in judgment Durrant made was presuming he could count on Tyree Irving and this is both for covert nobody thought would have to navigate and maneuver through a global pandemic and then you have Tyree thinking he knows more than the St. Louis epidemiologist who I got it out so we know how we arrived at this predicament.

It's not going back to the warriors. No warrior fan that I know wants that because they love the fact they finally won with Adam and Steph Curry finally got the MBA finals MVP, where the warriors one without the rent prior to him taking his tablets to the San Francisco Bay Area. But the notion was, he took that franchise to even greater heights beyond what they did. I regular-season with the 73 wins and you know how things came together the finals but warrior fans who suffer through decades of being abysmal.

They were the Clippers of northern California love the notion that the rants left them and they still want. On the other title so as not to happen, and effective David Stern were still with us, he would block the trade for competitive reasons, just as Chris Paul never made it to the Lakers out of silver has a different mindset, but even the league would have to get involved. Let's take the warriors out of the equation and then run through and will do this in detail with Eric Pincus coming up 40 pounds.

The hour I got his great work for Bleacher Report as well as how going to ease into the final hour. The program Durrant to Miami okay but you can't trade been on a bio because of the CBA and Miami doesn't want to give up Jimmy Butler Durrant of Phoenix makes sense, but now you gotta work on the country eighth inside a trade is that enough with Cal bridges and other players to 10 makes sense. Boston makes a lot of sense. You can't deal Jason Tatum because of the collective bargaining agreement.

So on to give you more tangible potential outcomes but I think were to move in that direction because Kevin Durrant loves basketball so much. He's not going to use the ultimate leverage that he has an just sit out say all not to play unless you cave in to my demands and that gets us back to where is he going. How long is a good a tick. I am pleased with myself. I've avoided Kai Rita the Lakers for an hour and 15 minutes but it is part of my responsibilities will also talk Tyree potentially reuniting with Lebron as I come to you for more studios here in Southern California try to head will tackle some football with all the uncertainty surrounding the Sean Watson will the Browns and Baker Mayfield make up plus is there really now… A mystery team interested in Baker.

Hello Cleveland some thoughts on pending league discipline for the Sean Watson and the future of Baker Mayfield. I give up a phone number for reason. Not just because I'm a radio guy who over enunciates and believes in the for Maddox over medium but because I do want to have a conversation with you the tweets of been good, but of phone calls even better, 1844204 rich 1-844-204-7424 and let's say hello to Elijah and Appleton, Wisconsin hey Elijah, thanks for joining us today. What's going on. Having carrier walking on what you given up Elijah give me your fantasy trade package for current from the government to maybe like what we met. Okay, I appreciate the phone call.

Thanks so much for being a part of the show we could go through a lot of different scenarios, but here would be my fundamental take away from the walkie. Why would you bring Tyree Irving in there you have a terrific situation, primarily because all the cohesion and this team to me reflects the personality of Jonathan to think about what a remarkable start we should talk more about his journey. I want to get to wrapped up in the Odyssey coming from Greece but you know that back story and beyond that he's a good, do they have a culture that works. And the problem. Thanks for the phone call.

If you add Tyree is that you get a deal with Tyree. The human being. Nobody is in any way questioning what Tyree does when he's on the court.

The problem is what is he on the court. He hasn't played a full season in years because of many reasons.

Vaccination status.

His commitment to social justice member was Kai re-when the bubble plans are coming together was wondering should the NBA continue it all and I respect that opinion.

We can have a conversation but you get the point I'm making your best ability is availability and he just is not been out there and off and then there's everything else that comes with them.

So know if you're the box I don't think you even open to the trade and as we get back to this coming up with Eric Pincus conversation Bleacher Report and will go heavy on the MBA and the final of the program. If Kai re-does not either stay in Brooklyn with Durrant's and agree to the extension and some of that's good to be proving that he can act like a reasonable adult in the remaining year left on his contract or doesn't wind up with the Lakers. It might work with the Lakers because if Lebron wants to.

He knows how to manage the personality of Kai re-although we all change as we get older, who's to say that the relationship between Lebron and Kai re-will be the same as it wasn't clear when I know Kai Reese here in Southern California a lot and I'm sure they hang out, but it's very different when you get into a dispute in a locker room then it is when you're kicking it at Spago or crags on Melrose so I think those are the only possibilities that make sense.

Kai re-stays in Brooklyn or he winds up with the Lakers because Lebron thinks he can make it work. And if your Milwaukee with a healthy Chris Middleton. You're still the team to beat in the East. I love what Philadelphia is doing. James Harden, who I've been extremely critical of his showing that he's an adult he took less money. He opted out of backend and according to agent Ward Sharansky of ESPN could happen later today. Harden is going to agree to a three year deal out of Fort on a five now it still life changing money for somebody's already exceptionally wealthy, but he did it to give the team more flexibility because of presumably his relationship with Darrell Morey.

They were together in Houston and he realizes he's landed in a good spot with Maxie and impede question with a beat is unfortunately just as a basketball fan, he can't stay healthy and you throw in the pickup.

PJ Tucker very underrated move, but I like you need a glue guy in the MBA.

So, no, I'll see the box doing anything and if nothing changes in the East.

If you want my way to early power rankings. I still think Milwaukee had Middleton been healthy would've defeated Boston so I got Milwaukee one, Miami could make some more moves.

Villages talk about rosters is currently constructed.

I have Miami and Boston on the same tier Philadelphia, probably I might slide a little bit ahead, but the role slightly lower than Milwaukee and then Brooklyn or what he getting out of Ben Simmons a lot to be seen. All right, I wandered into more NBA conversation, but I do want to live up to what I told you I was in the delve into what spent a few minutes on the Cleveland situation and I want to be upfront.

I'm not that comfortable talking about the Sean Watson into much depth because the allegations are just so salacious on the big word once they they're just so tawdry and while I use a lot of big words that I was a poly side major on the lawyer. I read a lot, and I respect say the view of Mike Florio who is a trained attorney and a great friend of this program rich often has the mobile behind Pro football talk ice to fill in for Mike as well so they they pass me around because I loved you on the radio so let's take the details of Watson out of the equation and just focus on the future there has to be a suspension of some kind.

There is growing speculation based on how the league framed its case to the federal judge who handles the first round of discipline. But remember the lease not satisfied, they can appeal to designee from Roger Caddell or he just step in on his own so just because we hear from the federal judge doesn't mean it's the end of the story, but let's just say the judge comes back with the recommendation or her finding it's a eight-game suspension 10 game suspension not the indefinite nor season-long suspension that the league apparently has been looking for because we get all these leaks via the Washington Post and other reputable outlets that that's what the brains trust at 345 Park Ave., the league headquarters in New York City wants okay if Watson's out eight games don't the Browns have a real incentive to make it work with Baker Mayfield and this ties together nicely with Kevin Durrant because now we're dealing with feelings and Baker has a lot of pride, that's how he parlayed limited athletic ability to being the number one overall pick what she should not of been that was a clear error in judgment but not his fault. Somebody overdrafted him and overpaid him. Baker had to believe in himself and fights and scrap to get to the league now part of that to me has led to his issues. He throws too many interceptions because he believes maybe just through sheer willpower he can get it in such a tight window plus we knew he wasn't fast.

The combine and I been lucky to cover a couple combines a person.

I don't care that much about 40 times but if you have to rely on mobility to extend plays as Baker does because he's scrappy and tenacious. You better be quick and he just can't out run the second level of defense try to get to the sidelight so we know the limitations at the same time I can't overlook what he did what he was healthy. Couple years ago magnificent year and that he got beat up Lester so is it in the best urgent interest of both the Browns and Baker Mayfield to put aside their differences and make it work for this year and this year only if Watson is suspended for the whole season. I think it gets a little bit more complicated because now Cleveland will try to win my opinion get back into that contract. See if they can clog back some money they're going to need a long-term solution under center. If Watson is suspended for the entire year or if it's more a.m. but QS ambiguous ambiguity is my word power the day if it's more murky.

They're going to need somebody they can count on in the future and clearly they don't believe that's Baker Mayfield and Baker wants out, but there hasn't been a logical destination, mostly because Cleveland still playing hardball.

They don't want to eat. The majority of the salary he's due so you hear about Carolina you hear about Seattle and if Seattle doesn't land Baker Mayfield just say it out loud take you very much they are taking to maximize their drab possibility because you can't wheel out use of the ghost of Gino Smith or Drew Locke who got crushed by the U.S. Open tennis twitter account the other day how his career has gotten so mired in lousy play but Seattle either just bidding for a better deal from Cleveland by slow playing this trying to get the Browns, the more the contract, but where else could Baker be going the Falcons to me have not been discussed enough while Marcus Mary auteur is a serviceable player Baker Mayfield is better. No question that maybe all of this is just a matter of timing or there's a team that will jump in, given the Sam Bradford precedent talk about government a lot of money under the terms of the old CBA.

Remember Teddy Bridgewater got hurt Minnesota not too far away from the start of the regular season in August Philadelphia like what they saw it early on small sample size from Carson Wentz after drafting him with a number two overall pick coming out of North Dakota State. Bradford goes to Minnesota and the Eagles actually got something in return. So that's another path that would get Baker off the roster. But if this is a bridge situation and Watson will be back in 8 to 10 games. Why can't Baker and the Browns put their differences aside massages ego. It gives him a chance to audition for his next contract and he's got incentive to ball out to get paid by somebody else. This just makes too much sense to me other than were dealing with. Unlike fantasy football were you when I can bicker about which defense will want to take in the seventh round were talking about real human beings with real emotions and justifiable thought because I have no life and I printed up the schedule. Let's say it's eight games.

For Watson, I think it's can be more but were running through scenarios here. Here is the Browns schedule to start the year at Carolina should be aware, Rich Eisen's jets another improve should be a win taking on Pittsburgh who's the quarterback Mitchell Stravinsky could be a win, added, led to their rebuilding home for the Chargers Chargers never travel well to the Eastern time zone over New England you really think that Matt Jones is going to the Hall of Fame at Baltimore. That's a loss home for the bangles.

That is a manageable schedule and your plug-in Baker rather than going with Jacoby preset who's the only other quarterback on the roster. Either you can make your way through that budget games with a winning record and you're still in playoff contention.

So a lot of different things to consider. Step one is the league justice for the Sean Watson case and everything I'm reading says we may not get the ruling from the federal judge for another few weeks, the league wants this done lease. The first step to be wrapped up prior to start a training camps well were still two weeks away from that. So, in the immortal words of my first boss in broadcasting keeper where it is.

Stay tuned, because much more is on the way, I'm Brian Weber into Rich Eisen. We do appreciate the phone call and the final hour has no guest on the agenda so if you want to be a part of the show, you could pick up the phone 184-4204 Rich 1-844-204-7424 straight ahead back to the MBA.

In addition to everything we've already dissected if the nets pick up Russell Westbrook, adding up to roster that already has been cinnamon for you. Good I cannot actually make a shot. Would this be the ultimate team that could not shoot straight will find out and we chat with Eric Pincus all bleacher report on Brian Weber into Rich. It's the Rich Eisen ship Rhine River fact was Eisen.

It's the Rich Eisen show get closer to the final hour. The program more opportunities to take your phone call 184 Rich those of you but whatever BW Weber Weber were to be as good thing I just feel twitter machine and what a coincidence. Sometimes I get lucky I wish I could claim that I formatted the show with the notion based on my vast array of sources is a former studio hosted NFL network that indeed, just as I was talking about the future of Baker Mayfield within the last seven minutes.

The report from NFL network Baker Mayfield has been traded to the Carolina Panthers for a 2024 conditional fifth-round pick, but as importantly, it's all about the money. According to Ian Rappaport of NFL network colleague Rich Eisen. The teams are going to split the financials to make it happen. Those are his words verbatim meeting. Cleveland could eat a big chunk of the salary so obviously we will tear up the rundown should I do it right now go run down is destroyed. Now Baker Mayfield dominates the final hour. The program still. I want to talk more MBA and it's always a pleasure to say hello to a terrific NBA analyst.

My friend Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report Eric, how are you are doing well in Crimea. I appreciate you listening to me filibuster there but when I have breaking this I have to react to it all. I like the MBA. Now here's the difference.

I thought we would get some clarity on Baker Mayfield sooner rather than later.

Let's now shift to your expertise and start with Kevin Tourette's. If in fact he is going to be dealt by the Brooklyn Nets. How long do you think this process is going to take because it feels like it might involve 314 was now based on what Danny means God for Rudy. Go bear the nets have to ask for a king's ransom right yeah I mean definitely the big question that I have is how much leverage does Kevin Durant have an exciting way to play next recruit.

If he doesn't have that leverage because you got four years left of deal with any government leverage to force a trade and the nets will just keep him so I think there is some level of weighing is it better to try to fix the situation. I I cover out of Los Angeles back in the vehicle to Brian after trade and the Lakers looked around and talk to teens talk to Chicago and ultimately decided not to do it and then later that you got how this all went to the finals you rest is history minutes can move him picking them quickly, but it doesn't actually make sense to do so unless they're getting back like you said something similar to what the just got for Flaubert if there's a timeline it might be related to you DeAndre if you do part of the equation for the nets either restricted free-agent he's not gonna wait that long. So they want Aiden back in the draft reportedly got phoenixes on his short list of Miami money has almost nothing to offer when it comes to pics not much more than Kyler hero will get it done without bare-metal bio who didn't do so in Phoenix is that favorite of those two teams that you can't really make that move.

Can't wait too long because Aiden at some point and cannot decide what is next called talking hoops with Eric Pincus. Check out his outstanding work at Bleacher Report Eric I think the general reaction across the MBA when the notion was floated the warriors could have interest and certainly have the assets when you're talking about Domingo Wiseman pool. I know Wiggins and you can fill me in.

Wiggins could be a part of the deal because of the CBA right my where there is an issue bear off of these in the last year with Ricky scaling pension so yeah you have designated player and so it's been seven so you know I'll just throw out that like in theory is not room or anything him. The nets could also trade Benson okay what it would be complicated. I but let's take a step back. Kevin Durrant accepted trade to the warriors he left to do his own thing.

I mean that it goes back to our question how much leverage that you have and if you don't have that kind of leverage been wired a tritium in the first place you II think you can argue that obviously hardhearted and didn't work out. Kylie not working out. I'd heard that they were interested in in resetting and so while they could try to force Katie to stay try to build around him and and that is certainly an option being discussed and explored that maybe getting closure in all this and going a different direction would be the right whammy Sean Marks build this team up from nothing. When he got them. He may. They were negative a position as you be with all the pics going to the Celtics, which in turn introduced and paid him all that from the old KG trade Paul Pierce all that in some words built up a team he found an All-Star and DeAngelo Russell turned vehicle.

Russell and Katie got Kari all that is a great story for you know that is unfortunately ultimately not working out when it comes to winning a title and so you warriors. They could certainly make a run they could make a pitch for him. I don't know if it's necessary to do so in or the party won a championship.

I don't know if they want to visit those kind of relationships, it was complicated.

You did leave and you know I don't I don't see that in the cards. I think Wiggins is really nice will clear for them. All-Star starter but ultimately nice bid as like a complementary player. I don't think the warriors end up in New Mexico to McAfee Toronto getting involved correcting PDF expressed in years past a lot of affection for Toronto. They certainly have some the assets not to get up, Scotty Barnes, I don't think that they could into the mix, and certainly the pelicans could get involved and anybody really don't mean it. You have to have Katie on board and I got a review you get on board to go back to the warriors on dry weather into rich guys in each the rich eyes and show were 10 minutes away from the start of the final hour. The program, which will be devoted almost exclusively to the breaking news Baker Mayfield traded from the Browns to the Panthers all the details coming up that we continue our MBA conversation with Eric Pincus, Eric. It's always fascinating to play the what if game who's going where so since you laid out so many of the details so well how about the rants to Phoenix and DeAndre Eaton in the sun. Trade bridges and whomever else you want to throw into the package to make a work the rants.

Plus, Booker plus and agent Chris Paul.

Are they better than the warriors. I don't know about that you would have if you have a flesh out the rest and I think working more and more in the sleep you can have non-players. You can have guys who are our Jeff adequate you need to have good players at least eight of them to really otherwise to get exposed or if you don't have a geyser you maybe you can get by with seven then you're overtaxing the stars, especially in the playoffs and they wear down so it you. Fortunately, teams are allowed to make you more the move so that it becomes a question of who did it keep who they hold onto it.

They don't make that trade route if it make that they do they not send in. And how do they fill those thrust of pieces which is not an easy answer, and also how much appetite of the sons have to spend because they haven't been a team that's going to going to tax and when you pay Chris Collier paying think the issue along with you bridges and broker, the issue becomes, why they're not signing it in the first place.

It's like it's just too much money for something they're not as committed to because they don't want to spend the next few years and and intellectually taxes himself.

I think that the sons could be a true competitor just off of those three players if you say it's just Chris Paul.

Anything is healthy for a year, which is a stretch publicity for the full year. Katie Devon Booker you got all the offense you need. There is just a question of getting below players and I think it warriors would stop in the world champions are noted.
