Rich weighs in on Baker Mayfield’s latest comments on his situation in Cleveland and wonders if there’s a sliver of hope he and the Browns can mend fences with the possibility of a lengthy Deshaun Watson suspension looming. 

ESPN NBA Insider Brian Windhorst and Rich discuss Kyrie Irving’s long-term future in Brooklyn after he opted-in on his Nets contract for next season, says why the enigmatic guard had limited interest on the sign-and-trade market, if Kevin Durant could force a trade from the Nets and if the team would give in to such a demand, discuss the Lakers’ options with Russell Westbrook, which two teams would be at the front of the line for a possible KD trade, and what the Knicks have up their sleeve after all that draft night maneuvering. 

Rich comments on the state of affairs between star players and NBA teams and wonders if the latter should start being tougher with trade demands from players still under contract by simply saying “no.”

Rich and Brockman turn up the heat on their upcoming pickleball showdown with a caller suggesting intriguing playing partners for both.

Good to see you there. Christopher Brockman, our use cigarettes with that well module 240 John.

John is Jefferson at the click of the letting of the candle I was idling there what you just will let you guys know that it started the arts. Many football cards starting to call all ready for young art painting that I want to talk more about that later. The short, we have we have the my down payment on the boat don't understand. I'm excited Mike, do you think they could turn into a down payment on a boat demanding that somebody who's really think there's a dinghy right near my boat in the harbor that might not know What you're doing to pull employment for which I'm fine with the pond. So today is the deadline day that incredibly talented players who are overpaid in the NBA have to say you opting to generationally absurd dollars overpaid great place on Russ Westbrook for 47 million and change things a lot we can carry Irving for 36 million changed. I wouldn't do that is an amazing Iranian player fee if he wants, so today's that deadline and sure enough, Russell Westbrook has made it official and Kari Irving is yet to make it official. But it's going to happen because it that the that the sign and trade takers are not there for not there and is best option if he wants to be paid $6 million you can come here Los Angeles, California. You can buy very nice house for that amount of money and it's not like he's using just that it's not out of the car is living check to check. Okay, so you could make 6 million.

Here the Lakers like take what you come here just don't don't often come your son for the $6 million contract.

We can give you and how much you hook up with. With all this year and his answer apparently as well. I could stay where I am for 30 more million and either stay here and play with the rent, or create a situation with my my bosses where now they gotta pay me 36 million change may have no idea if I'm to show up for work because I want to take a vaccine or something's happening in the real world that's causing me to think about that not be mentally ready to play a basketball game, which is what I paid all that money for or that's a completely unfair way to categorize Kari Irving, but it's everything that we we referred heard from him and seen that happen two years ago and last year. Maybe the nets will take him in and say let's let's put the gang back together with the gang back together. Let's see how it goes. Let's see how it goes with Kevin Durant. Happy because he's got the best team that he has in Brooklyn around him with Kari Irving and Ben Simmons and his bionic back now that he's gonna play and he'll leave the Ben Simmons that got drafted out of LSU run and he'll be that guy and Seth Kari Wright Blake Griffin is still around their drama and is you know, drama, drama, and in what about Joe Harris.

ZZZ can play basketball tonight, but I don't put it together in the nets can run it back and unless the nets kinda want to do that. I don't know the situation. It appears to be handled could be fluid our friend Brian when horses can try make heads or tails out of all the stuff on this program. Meanwhile, speaking of China put things back together. Humpty Dumpty like the nets appear to be doing right now with Kari Irving. Even though they might not really want Kari back for long term of one year's final was Kari's best about the one year and will see how it goes is going to try to put that Humpty Dumpty back together there attempting to do that in Brooklyn or there now having to do that in Brooklyn because Kari opted by. No more broken egg to use that analogy, there's no there's no more of a broken scenario quite like Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns thing and can't be put back the other Baker breakers.

The one who told her to stand is the one you're pregnant with me breaking away a first punch. I was sent a letter to Cleveland. Let's not forget that all happened when DeShawn Watson was being wooed by multiple teams to in the NFC South Atlanta and New Orleans and the Cleveland Browns as a matter of fact he said that letter to Cleveland outlets just go through, he sent that letter to Cleveland out breaking up with the Browns while the Browns were talking to Watson and the day after that letter to Cleveland came out. The news came out that DeShawn told the Browns there out. It's good to be between either Atlanta or New Orleans and we came on the show, talking about how this diehard rivalry that runs underneath the radar in the NFL because were so focused on Bears Packers and refocused on you know, choose it, and NFC Easter AFC East because were all East Coast bias sports media members talk about those rivalries runs underneath the radar, Atlanta, New Orleans how much they hate each other as I got Watson's gonna tilt this rivalry considerably in his choice, and then he chooses the Browns anyway. But in between all that there was a period of time when the Browns thought they were out made to be broken up with them and the idea was the Browns are now then I have to back channel in some way to Baker and say, can we still be friends because it told you the combine that we were going to do this we told your agent the combine that we were there investigated if it was possible and we all remember that day a week before the Browns and Falcons in an Saints sent everybody from owner general manager Coach to DeShawn Watson and his owner and his management teams to say we want you week before.

That is when there was no indictment that came out of a grand jury in the state of Texas. In this case that still has four open civil lawsuits accusing DeShawn Watson of sexual misconduct still open right now. Let's not forget there was a 24 hour period where the Browns were like maybe can get back together. So here we are on this day 28 June. Here we are on this day in which DeShawn Watson is having a hearing about his looming suspension with the independent arbiter that is been hired by the players Association and the NFL to handle such disciplinary matters placed in front of her Sue Robinson, everybody she is going to be hearing from the league and the players Association and apparently Rusty harden his lawyer.

Watson's lawyer about the suspension. That is, all in its, on this day Baker Mayfield, apparently having youth football camp in Oklahoma and he was asked about a possible rapprochement about what you said earlier yesterday were alert little Kumbaya to use a different generational phrase he was asked is it possible if the suspension of Watson is so significant that scratches: 26. If it is so significant. Would he consider actually coming back in and doing it all again for the for the old Cleveland Browns and his answer was no. This is according to Carrie Murdoch who place this twit this quote on twitter. He's a calls himself a finish the easy publisher of acts sooner. Scoop.

He's quoting Maple to say no. I think for that to happen. There would have to be some reaching out, but were ready to move on. I think on both sides asked if the reconciliation could be reached if Watson had to sit out this season. Now I'm saying, no, not now and then I think that has to be reach out to me that's that's it that's in it and a jar door would you not say small Carozza crab small. That's is a guy who told Cleveland I'm out before the Browns sit wearing would Watson and it's a matter of fact, the day before Watson set him out with you Cleveland until Cleveland said you know how does every dollar guarantee.

How does the best contract in the history of National Football League players about that, let me with all these lawsuits around you and no clue as to what else could possibly be out there or if you we kind of just met are telling me the truth. I don't know your tells just yet. Scott about a buck 80 and stick it in escrow. Believing in you before the Browns said that Mayfield said he and basically told the Browns the time when they had a 25 purging but maybe we'll just go back to Baker Maple #this is not #this is they have to reach out to me first, but they haven't reached out to him yet at all.

Apparently they told him don't have to become mandatory caps so he's saying it's been kinda moved on.

I think I've moved on to what I'm saying have to reach out to me first.

Makes me think that maybe, just maybe there's a small part of him that things are not going to Carol, going to Seattle either just yet and I don't know if I won't even go to both of those places or I don't honestly I feel for the Skype menus has been so damn messed with. Because he's sitting at home waiting for his future to be decided, but he's under contract. Currently the Cleveland Browns for 18 million change 18 million change. Add that to the $46 million that the Browns are paying DeShawn Watson this year and by the way, no matter what comes out of this ruling today or whatever comes out of the hearing today are the rulings no docket of the unassuming another day than today. No matter what comes out suspension aching standings for the full season or an open ended suspension that the league has apparently whispered to other members of the NFL media world that it could be one of those deals where he's out indefinitely and he'll have to reapply for reinstatement next year. If it's any of those any of her. If Mayfield's coming back or even entertain, back, or if the Brownsville.boards" jig project Chris Jacoby preset can run this offense and he has played an entire year to start a National Football League he has done that he has won some games when you Super Bowl could he be either the 21st century Jeff Hostetler. Of course no idea in the NFL. That's the beauty of this league.

This game you never know, but stuff so as of right now. On June 28 David DeShawn Watson is having a hearing about his discipline on all of these cases that still haven't been completely settled and we still don't know what else is happening and this is now gone to a point where Ashley's Elyse the first masseuse who filed suit against Watson is now filing suit against the Houston Texans based on the New York Times reported by Jenny prentice saying that not only did the Texans security provide him with a note on nondisclosure agreement to hand to his masseuses. The multiple ones we met on Instagram before they work on him for allegedly he works on them. Here's an MBA. You might want to, you might want to give this to then assign that came from the Texans security apparently and some of these massages were taking place in a club in Houston where he had a room allegedly purportedly arranged by the Texans. Texans think they're out. DeShawn Watson gives on this day June 28, 2022. There are two quarterbacks on the Cleveland Browns roster at the Browns over $65 million to and they might not play a single snap from this you which may wind up being the most Cleveland Browns thing ever. By the end of the day, figuratively and maybe quite literally so that's what's up there that's so, that's what's up where Mayfield is like no you have to reach out to me first man if I'm him.

I am hoping to go to Seattle that's from hope to go to Seattle Hope and Pete and and John Schneider are like yeah the true lock and Gino Smith competition and that's that's not what were cut out for right here Baker goes there and there's DK when hope he's happy and you know there is that running game. There's Tyler locket and there's people always compete in meaning there somebody that they drafted that we have no idea how good they can be until they find out they usually do up there. Kenny Walker from Michigan State, Seattle. If I'm Baker I'm go, I want to go there where I'm kinda like mostly left alone and I could just focus on my craft for one year and see if I could be the guy for the future for Seattle and Seattle winds up getting the first overall pick in the draft from five years ago and he gets a second act. They are all draperies that might be the most rosy scenario possible. But if I'm Baker, I'm telling the Browns thanks but no thanks Meet out. I want no part of that at all. I want no part of you anymore.

I want no part of that anymore and you don't if you'd said that though people will be accusing him of being a drama king, and so I think he played it by half measure, no have to reach out to me first, but it seems like we've all moved on.

Now let me go teach these kids something 844204 Rich number down what is going on with Kari Irving and Russell Westbrook, and so on and so forth that's next on the show with dry when Horst also still come out for prayer on everything that I just discussed with Watson and so much more and then in our three John boy joins us as major league baseball has suspended everyone involved and that Mariners Angels brawl from all the way from interim Angels manager Phil Nevin 10 games and into games all the way down to one of their interpreters who apparently was too well versed in body language as well. So there's that John boy's breakdown of it is spectacular you will join us in our three there's you. 844204 Rich this TJ Jefferson's best players in the history of all four teams in the NFC East to wrap up the stirring conclusion of this eight part series stirring conclusion, stirring that's coming up here on this very busy Tuesday so you say there's nothing going on.

Addition of the rich Johnson show back here on the rich Johnson show 844204 Rich number to dial. He makes us smarter every time we just love when he comes on this program.

He's a senior NBA writer for the worldwide leader in sports, the host of the bride when Horst and the hoop collective podcast on the Mercedes-Benz vans phone line so much talk about with this man back your on the recharge and show is Brian. When Horst I don't run. I'm thinking let's jump right into it with Kylie Irving and was his decision or impending decision reported decision to return to the Nets just as his only best option.

Here very clean questions. I don't quite understand 100% all sides on this game. I was viewing a certain way and I talked to executive in the league.

You may view it completely different way.

I was viewing it as this is what the Nets wanted and the despised on time and you know you make, and extend with him later on turns down the pressure. It turned down the pressure with the rant, but I talked a number of executive fee you know believe that this doesn't mean it's over that you know the next made it very clear that they didn't want the status quo and that this would be to get status quo so I wish I could give you a stronger answer. All I can say right now is I don't know and have to wait and watch a little bit you know. Kylie also have to fill out the paperwork. It's one thing to announce your picking up the option and you normally when nobody is there for The option you the paperwork as a formality, but in kill the until the net formally announced that Kylie got the contract, which would be a course of business, let's just not 100% of to make this so let's let's also attend piece by piece. Could this be the sign part of the sign and trade were right where he signs here are no know what I mean. I did all I apologize Rick. It's all Valerie You okay one. Once you opt into a contract. There's no sign and trade. It's not possible okay and get everything it that a bunch of different rules happen with a sign and trade will be MBA for her specific reasons has made sign and trade difficult. So when the net said to Kylie, go ahead.

Look for a sign and trade. They did that, knowing it would very unlikely be able to find one.

If you want to go into chapter and verse as to why I be glad to just trust me, I will trust you. I will trust you to sign and trade are. I mean they happen obviously but I do want to make a tiebreak near impossible, but there are complicated through the whole federal rule to come along with them when you opt into a contract, then you can be traded back to the standard trade but you obviously the only way you can trade a free agent is assigned and trade, and Kylie will now not be of creative. The question is if you get any back with the next era business income by because very clearly what Sean Mark general manager said at the end of the season was we can't have a repeat of last year and you know the idea was that there would be a contract that would have some protection for the Nets on number of games played and things like that and with Kylie and opt in it potentially set up a repeat of last year.

Okay so you're saying Kari is going nowhere for the upcoming season. He's in Brooklyn at the store. I don't know what could happen, but if he can't beat Any betrayal you just yet. He absolutely can be traded to be traded. I don't okay and so Brian when Horst here on the rich eyes and show you mentioned a couple times in this conversation that the Nets don't want status quo. I know you also mentioned just yesterday that the Nets court" would rather lose both stars and go through what they went through last season.

Now New York City has lifted its vaccine mandate and now I don't I don't see that coming back anytime soon so they won't go through.

Technically what they went through last season in the vaccine mandate what what what do you win the Nets mean by this. The left going through last lightning here. We really know Kevin Durand and Harry Irving had opted out of his contract and went and signed with the with the Lakers and the net loss Kylie Irving for nothing. The belief in the league, and I mean you know Kevin could feel one way on Monday and at different on Tuesday so I want to be thousand percent clear here that this is all very fluid, but the belief in the league as it Durand would not be comfortable remaining with the net in that situation so when the Nets were playing hardball with Tyree and they were basically saying were not to give you the maximum contract extension that you want, and Tyree was saber rattling that you opt out of his contract because asking for permission. Look for a sign and trade which meant he would get opt out of the contract that one has to go with you Kylie with saber rattling and the Nets were saber rattling and so if the net were risking Kylie walking with 1 billion% were they will risking being new. They will risking Durand asking for a trait and the reason the faithful playing hardball with Tyree because they wanted to get into an understanding or contract that they had some protection over the way Kylie went about the last couple of season and so my point was their strategy was even if this caught Dr. rant. We are not going to bend down to the full-court Tyree and it wasn't just about the vaccine mandate. The entire way.

Tyree has operated within the next the last few years was building towards last season so it's really more about Tyree is openly said I need a coach I am the general manager Kevin I the general manager the, it's much more than just about the vaccine mandate so was the reason why there were few takers on the sign trade Related or roster related or just the league kind of knows what's at the the large part of the iceberg were just in the in the basketball viewing nation outside of the insider circle seeing just the tip.

It is desire to have a reputation that nobody wants a piece of him.

After that, with the Celtics and what's going on with the Nets right now. If you sign and trade for a player had a contract have to be for at least three years and for the same reason the Nets were worried about giving a long-term contract. Any team would be worried about long-term contract and venerate when you sign in trade for a player like the Lakers. For example, the Lakers payroll next year in I believe right now projected to be around $150 million. Once you sign in trade for a player becomes an NFL situation.

You are hard You you aptly cannot go above a certain number and so if the Lakers had signed and traded for Kylie like just for me what you pay for the sake of argument, the net undying love for Russell Westbrook and they would. They would've taken Russell Westbrook@trait they wouldn't have what you think you think of argument, they would have taken Kylie Irving, an assignment trade with hard The Lakers may could fill out the rest of the roster so just from a mechanical standpoint. Lakers couldn't do a sign trade with Tyree and that he was going to take a significant pay cut and even that situation they would had to guarantee him a lot more money. Lakers would probably were much more interested in giving him a one-year $6 million deal as you can imagine this and will more interested now if they if they pray for him now if something happens in the next few days.

The next few weeks and the Lakers all the time can trade for Tyree, they would have to guarantee more years, they would have to be would have to be hard So I know that this is extremely dense but assignment trade was never going to happen and so really be the bedrock issue is that we wipe away all that stuff the bedrock issue is that is the owner of the Brooklyn Nets Joe Cy willing to have his team go to another season with Kylie Irving behaving the way he had done to last couple of years or he can edit it even if they want to change because the Sean Mark with Joe Thiede's blessing said that they wanted to change, Kylie Irving said he in the fall to me that the guy who is like okay you want to extend me you don't want to help you on sign in trade in the fall's I didn't I didn't take that quote is that part of brotherly love. But what Alina Brian when Horst here on the rich eyes and show so let me just ask you this, then will move on just a couple other items just on on, from the Nets so the rent they run the risk he said the Nets of having him opt out just say I want out asking for trade and this may be the most nave question I've ever asked you a brine in the near eight years that you been kind enough to keep calling into the show. When I asked one of thing that's just melt the stimulant. What a thing that's if the rent says I want trade with the single what if they just a minute now to they would say Kevin we love you and your under contract four more years with the casino what what what that would be an interesting thing with more in an era right now in the MBA work contract so I don't matter and I don't like. I want to get you know get more and more and more out there. You been sending the same thing year ago he had for years on his contract. Now that the difference was coming off of a bad year. So in value with a bit more complicated.

He also had a back injury, which we found out pretty darn severe but the same thing you said, I do want to be here anymore and it's a boy you got contract. Okay like I show up and play trade me and it was messy and it was expensive and bent them of God's way and mentioned that you know that that honor your contract that the matter I mean carrier, but I don't know piece on the board but I'm fairly certain is the vice president of the of the players union and you know I was interested for a minute there.

What are you gonna contract so yeah I mean you know they always say in the entertainment business rich right contract is oval in the talent of the oversexed family, the rule of the of the road in the in the NBA like it's kind of the same in the NFL. You know you got contract with don't show up right well I mean in the cell. That's the way it was for every long time but we're seeing now for just the first time in the 20 years new 20 years that I've been doing the NFL network in the NFL. Only thing on the on the cable side of matters is Devante Adam saying I want out there like okay you know like where were just now beginning to see that on occasion where occasionally NFL 612 hold out but I would hold out not show up when you contract right to to one or two games in the season when they're not.

They they don't get a paycheck. That's when there like okay that's right with Emmitt Smith in the 90s you know I mean, it's so rare to see a guy hold out in the season and that's what I'm just wondering what the Nets are still the rent now you claim he loved the game. So that's great.

You know off the port you sometime.

You know, sideways on, but he loved playing like I covered them in Tokyo at the Olympics last year and I asked them I go.

Kevin you got gold medal coming up in the chilly mean you know why you hear I love my and so to me like you like what Ben Simmons did last year, which is not play like that's the antithesis of Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant will play every day of the year. He probably put much so the different type of guy. I don't know if that's what he could do but I hope you know 34 years old and he wants to be on championship contender came there been a championship contender.

So no luck at the other day could be Kylie Irving back and by the way, this is something that nobody seems to really be talking about they got a good team. Ben Simmons is going to be healthy.

I mean I guess I can do my thing with him but let's just think this conversation thank you. Gonna be a tremendous difference maker defensively. Joe Herrick, all of last is a great shooter.

He'll be back. They got in the demonstrator.

The great you have a great shooting team that's really promising rookie in my opinion he was a rookie last year named cam Thomas is an explosive offense of player they got atop 57 whatever player. Still, I think something to rent the top five player they got.

I read when he plays is breathtaking. I know you don't play that much is breathtakingly play. I mean I would pick up on the title. But there are contender like maybe everything that gets moved over and everything fine by by the fall, but I don't know right now Brian when Horst a couple minutes. I have left with you here on the rich eyes and show some cricketers best we can. Westbrook, opting back in what is that mean where the next steps for the Lakers but no surprise $47 million. You know, you know. So what would you have what's the Lakers next moves, if any, now well only got six guys under contract and a couple of them are, you know, so I don't look like and they have to be very judicious with that $6 million thing that they now argue that you think I really have to have to hit on that they are getting Kendrick non-menthol life. Even back, but they need. They need ADM abroad to be healthy.

That's number one. But in all honesty, they finished.

You know, 11th last year in the Western Conference, even if they get a lot better there still good to be potentially competing for back and playoff spot which is why the Kylie thing was so tantalizing because they really don't have any other Avenue to dramatically improve their talent on their roster. They just have to be better with account they have with Lebron Anthony Davis, you have a chance to win any game I just don't know what what what about that roster look like how there's a lookover 82. They have a new coach will see what Garvin can bring you know he could potentially change their mentality a little bit stuffy defensively because they lost their defense is that last season but I'm what I see right now I'm not bullish on their chances this year and was assassinated by Riley. What what C-section what's is what's his plan that he's hatching right now in the South Florida.

While there watching. The next thing because if there's any wiggle room at all their they're keeping an eye out both Miami and Phoenix. In my opinion, if Durrant were somehow I don't. I want to be doing percent clear rates. I don't know what happened in Brooklyn. Okay, I just don't know.

But if some event happened where Durrant does become available. I think Miami and Phoenix in the QTR two teams that have the draw that the rent would want to play on championship contender and have pieces and parts that they could also Brooklyn in trade, so I'm sure that Pat Riley is now waiting for that window if it may not. It may never open. If it does I'm sure they're going to try to be aggressive on. I watched a beautiful mind is launched into Rainman. I want Sully's movies were people you know think differently and I'm trying to look at things from a completely different angle and so will you help me with this on Brian when Horst what what the hell of them except to underestimate was her plan plan was a good plan with a clear salary-cap thing they did that. So now we wait. They also have now rich. They had eight first-round draft picks if they can trade and something can happen that were on my way to see what his visits are Brunson mavericks and try and sneak him out to me like what what what silent when I try and definitely are interested in him and not take that traffic to get in that they do. I think that the possibility to get him but they have to have more in their sites in front of the next complaint is not Brian. When Horst takes the time I know you're light-skinned to get more hectic over the next couple weeks. Look; July thanks again, Brian never regrets the debts Brian when was the one and only when Horst ESPN must follow. I follow him as always makes me smarter right here in the rich oxygen lots of food for thought right there just linger here for another minute on an idea been kind of percolating on and I just thought I would. Brian Brian when Horst just brought that up with Brian here again, the whole issue with Kari Irving is best leverage over the nets has been and might still be based on blind seniors in the office things over just because he opted in in in Brooklyn is best leverage might be. You mess with me. You could lose Durrant to because all Kevin Durrant needs to do, despite having four years left on his contract is is that one out. I demand the trade and the entire league as Brian just said Miami is closely monitoring the situation because they want Kari that they may want Durrant in the entire league is under the assumption that a guy who has four years left on his contract can create his own free agency with one single phone call this all opt in and opt out all the stuff you were the contract, those are because it's written in the contract. You can opt out, you must have to you must opt in or out. This is a contract from which a star player in the NBA can opt out at any time just by saying make. I will be running.

What if a team told that star player tube.

What if that happened is your hearing, you know, the Commissioner in the league St. lamenting the situation as if they are powerless, but there is the contract any star player all world player you're not happy here. Let's figure it out because we brought you here to win and you know the God that we thought would be your one day or your 18 is one's not working out a guy and you see what goes on when he shows up or doesn't show up what how it affects the entire team affects entire franchise were trying our best here. We love you we covered you so much that we will not let you leave sorry doesn't NBA franchise have the temerity to do know because you don't want to get nothing for the guy give a guy was unhappy like what will he sit out for years like and his career. That's not his and his career planning. You want to get an asset in return for someone is unhappy. You just want to let them not play and then all the sudden you're just burning money. I don't own. Despite this guy don't know, maybe if you do it like this, so you you play Kevin or or rich climate front of the program-program okay good I'm glad glad I'm Joe I'm Joan Siam on lumberyard and that's let's play let's role-play and ask if I hey Joe I miss you so great to see you but you know Kevin's not happy so we would like would like out like a trade and here's my response.
