Well here we are happy Friday at least well, I mean, the Mets are losing to the Rockies. Maybe Michael CONFORDO killed the Mets yesterday. Psychologically, that has really been affecting you. We've been sitting waiting for the uh the bell to ring for us, and you just keep going. We're getting shut out by the Rockies. Boy, how I envy their uniforms and we're being shut out by the Rockies.

Michael Conforto, Yeah, broke the Mets. He killed the Mets.

Michael Conforto, Yeah, broke the Mets. He killed the Mets.

That guy looks like Willie Nelson in the front row. So I mean, you got a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, no, it is. It is one of those nights. It is absolutely one of those nights. Look as we're gonna be looking ahead to the big game two in the NBA Finals tomorrow. We got Game two of the Stanley Cup Final. Tonight, we have what is likely going to be a Texas National Championship and college softball as they are blowing out Texas Tech right now ten to three. Nisa Cannedy is out of the game. They scored six runs off her in the first inning, and you know, kind of a glass half full day for her because Okay, they're gonna likely lose, but you got another million for next year, so there's that. I think she's the big winner.

I think she's the big winner.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It also kind of shows if you keep going back to the well with the same pitcher, well, that hitter is kind of know what's going on, aren't they. I will tell you this, right, I'll tell you one thing softball is that it doesn't matter how good a pitcher is, right, if you can if you can throw like like that, the uh, the one Tennessee pitcher that can throw seventy six seventy seven, right, Okay, if you can, if you can master that, that's a real difficult thing to catch up to, no matter what. But no matter how good a pitcher you are, when you see the same pitcher three days in a row, every single pitch, eventually, guess what they're gonna lock on you, Right, That's the thing, Like, I see why you throw her out there, right, she's unbeatable. But even the best pitchers, when you see them three days in a row and you see all her pitches live and it's the same lineup that's now taking their eighth and ninth act bats off of her in the last three days, that what we saw earlier in the year, we're seeing you've seen her three days in a row. That that's gonna happen. Right, no matter how good you are, that that's gonna happen. I mean, are you not gonna go of course not, You're gonna go with it, right? You need you needed to go with her in Game one obviously, you had to come back with her in game two because you were short, you know, short of winning the championship. You need to win that game. But now here you are game three, and she just gets knocked all over the park. Like I'll tell you that that no matter who you are, they're gonna lock onto you when they see your stuff. Three straight down, the margins are lost, and there's the familiarity. You've seen all the sequencing, right, you're taking pitches, you're seeing all how how to work the bat, and you don't have that many bullets in the arm. You just don't like Eventually, the velocity's gonna be off, the placement's gonna be off, whatever it is. And for Texas today, uh put up a ten spot at this point as we watch in the bottom of the sixth but another million dollars.

And for Texas today, uh put up a ten spot at this point as we watch in the bottom of the sixth but another million dollars.

So in the end, it's not win.

So in the end, it's not win.

Yeah yeah, somebody. Okay, So here's your day, right, what would you rather have? You could win the national championship or get a million dollars?

Yeah yeah, somebody. Okay, So here's your day, right, what would you rather have? You could win the national championship or get a million dollars?

Yeah, give me the million dollars.

Yeah, give me the million dollars.

Now, unless I had some bonuses tied to had we won the national title.

Now, unless I had some bonuses tied to had we won the national title.

Oh you know what I mean that you had.

Oh you know what I mean that you had.

Performance bonuses somewhere if hey, we're in a weird world, so you can't tell me categorically no, yes, yes, or whatever. I mean, you could go full uh flip the coin and that and maybe be right, we don't know. We are in a really strange rule right so far. To me, that was that's I mean that that beats the crap out of my question earlier this week. Would I take the Knicks going to the finals if my car was to be stolen, which we got on that would I be okay with my car being stolen if it guaranteed the nix of the finals.

And that was a big that's a big wait. It's a nice car, but I mean, yeah, the answers, yes, this take my car. This is a tough one, man.

And that was a big that's a big wait. It's a nice car, but I mean, yeah, the answers, yes, this take my car. This is a tough one, man.

I mean, you're you're talking about national championship, a life that or a million dollars.

I mean, you're you're talking about national championship, a life that or a million dollars.

That's a day.

That's a day.

Well, because if they've won the national title, it also do force every organization, every school to sit back and ponder where the dollars and cents are flowing in college softball, right because hey, you paid a million bucks for a title for this year. Yeah, okay, had they won it right there, you feel it and it's like, well, we paid a million dollars, so we were close. And now we're getting into a lot of analysis and folks trying to go through and put together their best assessment of what each program put up cost wise.

For the year.

For the year.

But obviously a lot of run for Texas Tech, reaching heights heretofore unheard of, but falling short. So speaking of money, right, and again it's a ten to three Texas lead going to the top of this. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Texas still batting. I will tell you this, speaking of money, this is the original Friday night news dump where it's like, hey, we want to rule on something and we're gonna make sure that. Hey, by the time Monday hits were past it, Oh, I thought you were gonna bring up the fact that they were still talking to Connor Stallions.

Look, you've still be locked in a room somewhere.

Look, you've still be locked in a room somewhere.

No, but but this was we thought this was coming, and now it's here. Judge Claudia Wilkin has approved the long rumored deal between the NCAA and lawyers representing all Division I athletes. Now schools can directly pay their athletes. Remember, because it's all been the nil ARA has all been Hey, through third parties, we can do it. Now schools can directly pay their athletes. The NCAA is gonna also pay nearly three billion dollars in back damages. But now each school can pay twenty and a half million dollars to their athletes. Football of course getting the largest part of that.

Football of course getting the largest part of that.

But now you have.

But now you have.

Now schools can absolutely just directly pay their athletes, which they're hoping is going to. Oh, this is gonna stem the tide for all the all the nil it's out of control. Yeah, good luck with that, good luck, good luck. It's just nice that now the schools, hey, we can compete, we can give money out because now what what this is like? Why is it such a big deal? Yes, now all the D big D one schools can do this. Now the schools that have a tough time with NIL can at least be more competitive across the board. These schools now that can pay. Okay, now we can do it because some schools look the NIL era. If you can succeed in the nil era, if if you can get you can loosen the purse strings to get people to pay your athletes, that's how you're winning, right, How do you think Syracuse is suddenly winning in football? How do you think Duke is suddenly doing well in football? They figured out NIL and other schools like UCLA has been hey, where the hell is the money?

Now schools can absolutely just directly pay their athletes, which they're hoping is going to. Oh, this is gonna stem the tide for all the all the nil it's out of control.

Where u c l A? Right?

Where u c l A? Right?

But now this is going to help those schools compete. That's the big takeaway is that these schools out there having trouble, at least they'll be in the mix now to get athletes and get It's not we have to rely on guses used cars and hey, you know we're not really getting what it was in the past because now nil's has gotten so big and all the big donors are so mega donors, and you know, you hear the sum of the money, like Cooper Flag, I think what made ninety million dollars in NIL money last year. So, I mean you're seeing this. This is gonna be a big thing. But if you think this is suddenly gonna tamp down stuff and hey we're getting more under control, yeah good luck with that. That's not happening. Yeah, Cooper Flag, what was an estimated twenty eight to thirty whereas there's rookie contracts gonna be worth sixty two. Yeah, that's why should should have gone back to school, should have gone back. It's just one of those things that kind of throws that. Let me raise my hand for a second. Let's do the math as we look at the rookie wage scales. We certainly have talked about it a lot, going back to the Caleb Williams situation. I'm curious in terms of the two point eight billion dollars or thereabout that's going to be allocated in damages, like the rules of engagement changed.

Why are they eligible for money?

Why are they eligible for money?

I don't quite get that, but hey, good for them. Get a couple of extra bucks. Maybe if you took out student loans, it'll help you defray that. Or you could buy a car, maybe you buy the stolen car of Jason Smith.

I don't quite get that, but hey, good for them. Get a couple of extra bucks. Maybe if you took out student loans, it'll help you defray that. Or you could buy a car, maybe you buy the stolen car of Jason Smith.

Yeah again, you're listening to the whole show.

Yeah again, you're listening to the whole show.

But all of this, say, say what initial annual allotment twenty to twenty three million dollars per school according to estimates effect July one, And it's it's a big day, right for all these athletic directors and the I mean, how many times did we hear the hey just donate now for anything related?

But all of this, say, say what initial annual allotment twenty to twenty three million dollars per school according to estimates effect July one, And it's it's a big day, right for all these athletic directors and the I mean, how many times did we hear the hey just donate now for anything related?

Clicked the button clicked, the button clicked, the button.

Clicked the button clicked, the button clicked, the button.

On it now, hey, you know what, there's a cornerback that we've been eyny, but he's gonna leave the city unless you donate. Now every dime we'll go to the recruitment of this young man. Now, look, let me let me just break this because it is it is a lot of inside baseball. And look, we want to give you the right takeaways of this, and this is that, Okay, schools are now more competitive.

But the big thing that the big bs.

But the big thing that the big bs.

I remember an airplane when when when Elane tells everybody the plane is he goes, she goes, don't worry, everybody, stay calm, and it comes up b bs, We're.

I remember an airplane when when when Elane tells everybody the plane is he goes, she goes, don't worry, everybody, stay calm, and it comes up b bs, We're.

All going to be fined.

All going to be fined.

Boom, extreme bs, extreme bs. Now, part of this in theory was to give the schools power to create new rules that could limit the influence of boosters. Right, this is exactly from the Associated Press recap of this story. Starting this summer, any endorsement deal between a booster and an athlete will be vetted to ensure it is for a quote valid business purpose rather than a recruiting incentive.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sure, well, like I read this and.

Sure, well, like I read this and.

I go, do you really believe that that the ink you're using to write this story that people may print out is worth it? You really think, oh, now we're getting control of that. Now it's just twenty more million dollars that you're gonna be able put out there and give to give to people. It's still out of control. It's just allowing these other schools with nil trouble. Hey, we now have somewhat of a seat of the table. Now, what it's going to really be is that if school X is, hey, we're doing great, and we have twenty million nil money, and now we get twenty more million versus the other school, it'd say, well, we have three million nil money, now we have twenty million. Okay, we have forty million and you have twenty three million. We still have that advantage over you. That's the big thing. But to think this is suddenly going to stop, Yes, we are going to put that. No, it's not all because the NCAA got so greedy, didn't think they'd ever have to pay players, didn't think they'd ever lose in quarter a few years ago. And this is why we are where we are because we were so cocky and so arrogant, and we wanted to tamp down and thought these greedy players that want money and want stuff. We want to make money off their name, image and likeness. All they had to do was say, you know what, if we sell something that's your name on it, we'll give you money.

I go, do you really believe that that the ink you're using to write this story that people may print out is worth it? You really think, oh, now we're getting control of that.

We want to make money off their name, image and likeness. All they had to do was say, you know what, if we sell something that's your name on it, we'll give you money.

That's all.

That's all.

That's all the schools had to agree. That's all the ns degree to. Hey, if it's something personalized with their number on it, their name, we'll we'll give money to that person. That's all anybody was looking for. But now, because you were so cocky and arrogant and thought we're always gonna win, you don't see that there's an evolving a push out there that the world is changing more towards play rights and player benefits. It's their fault.

That's all the schools had to agree. That's all the ns degree to. Hey, if it's something personalized with their number on it, their name, we'll we'll give money to that person.

It's their fault.

We're here.

We're here.

So now they've got to navigate this incredibly messy situation because, yeah, we couldn't see to it because once we thought we would agree to it, it would get a lot of drunk Well, all you could have tamped that down and instead, look where you are. It's all your fault. Well, because you still have a mixed mixed plate so to speak, of a cap coming through off this revenue share. Right, So twenty twenty million, twenty two, whatever that number is, we'll say twenty, nice and round, but that somewhere like fifteen to seventeen is going to football. You don't think there's gonna be fights over salary caps and trusts, everything.

Else, everything.

Else, everything.

Yes, it's Friday night, lights come to light. Of course football gets and then you still have well we have nil payments through this clearing house.

Yes, it's Friday night, lights come to light. Of course football gets and then you still have well we have nil payments through this clearing house.

Yeah, so you've still got that.

Yeah, so you've still got that.

I'm like, well, this is how we get around that cap so we can still have a competitive advantage like this. This is nowhere near an end point. It's a nice Friday dump to say, Okay, this is great. Can't wait to see what next legal briefs are filed. Yeah, look it's and and all schools are excited because it just gives them extra money.

I'm like, well, this is how we get around that cap so we can still have a competitive advantage like this. This is nowhere near an end point. It's a nice Friday dump to say, Okay, this is great. Can't wait to see what next legal briefs are filed. Yeah, look it's and and all schools are excited because it just gives them extra money.

It's like, oh, we're giving you this extra twenty million.

It's like, oh, we're giving you this extra twenty million.

Dollars you can spend right here it is, and then next y it'll just be going I'd be like the salary cap in the NFL, go this year's twenty to twenty three million. Then it's gonna be twenty five, then thirty million, then thirty five. Then Goodella's getting involved, and then suddenly big payments are going out to people that said that that broker deals like, oh, it's good salary cap it's just going up and up and up and up and up. Right, so it's more money. Hey, more money's out there for the kids. More schools can sit at the table because they have this easily now illegally going right from school to player. But if you think for a second this is going to tamp that down, you are insane. You are absolutely insane. Oh no, it's just the next iteration in a long arduous process. Still the fighting over whether these students athletes see what they did there are employees of the school or not. So that's the other wrinkle that's still really not resolved. Are we just a bunch of mercenaries? Are we the Savannah Bananas come to play a couple of saturdays in the fall?

So Mark Stein, friend of the show, who was joined us earlier this week, had the report that the Knicks potentially would like to talk to Jason Kidd. They would need the Mavericks permission to do this. Now, let me just say one thing before I give you my big take, all right, tell me I want to Uh. The Mavericks are still really bleeping pissed that the Knicks just came in and basically swiped Jalen Brunson out from under them, right that the you know what when Leon rose when they had the big Knicks contingent, that went to the started going to the games when he was gonna be a free agent, right, Rick Brunson was gonna bring bring his son in.

So the Mavericks are really pissed. They're really really pissed. And are they gonna really give permission to the Knicks to talk to Jason Kidd because it's not like Jason Kidd is like, hey, I got to get out of here. Man, It's like, oh, no, Cooper flag is coming. I'm feeling feeling pretty good. In all the interviews he did after they won the lottery. No, you know the kid from Duke, he can't say his name. No, no, no, you can talk about it, and you know, well that kid from Duke's you know, no, it's it's and that's why it's like, okay, so he's feeling okay, do you really? I mean, I would look, there's things i'd be so I was, I'd be more surprised if the if the Mavericks said yes than I was the Pacers coming back to winning last night. I am more surprised about that than that, if than if this action, if the Pacers saying yeah, sure, go ahead, because I'm telling you, man, the Mavericks nation is going to just absolutely employed. So we steal a point guard who really could have maybe brought us the title. Oh now you let him take our coats? Okay, all right, great, now that that's wonderful. Well maybe they don't love Jason Kidd though, that's good, they love what the next iteration just Cooper flag loved Jason Kidd?

So the Mavericks are really pissed. They're really really pissed. And are they gonna really give permission to the Knicks to talk to Jason Kidd because it's not like Jason Kidd is like, hey, I got to get out of here. Man, It's like, oh, no, Cooper flag is coming.

What's he saying about.

What's he saying about.

If they didn't if if they didn't like it, he would have been gone. Right, If they didn't like it, he would have been gone. They would have found a way to move on and bring somebody else in. Right, So that's not that's not happening, right, I mean really really, it's like, oh, now you want.

If they didn't if if they didn't like it, he would have been gone. Right, If they didn't like it, he would have been gone. They would have found a way to move on and bring somebody else in. Right, So that's not that's not happening, right, I mean really really, it's like, oh, now you want.

Us to do this? This is like uh, in if.

Us to do this? This is like uh, in if.

You if a guy breaks up with a girlfriend breaks up with a guy to date somebody else, right, and it's like okay, you know that that's cool, and then like, uh, you know, maybe like a year later, the guy goes back to the guy the girl broke up with to say, Hey, I just want to know that new girl you're dating.

It's not happening. Not happening.

It's not happening. Not happening.

Well, it's just the curiosity, right, what kind of compensation would the Mavericks be and Nico be looking for in return? I mean, because you already traded off a lot of first first round picks, so you don't have that giant pile of those for the next you know, half decade plus in bringing Bridges in. But it's worth the conversation. It's not gonna happen. Now here's my big take on it. Okay, if you're really gonna do this, right, we kind of joked around about it last night. If you're, if you're, if you're now, if you're the Mets, and if you're the Mets, Mets, if you're the Knicks, and you're saying, hey, Jason Kidd, we have to decide if we want to go talk to him. Think bigger, right, Jason Kid's a good coach. Think bigger. Right, we joked around last night, sad Hey, this is when Steve Kerr decides to come coach and Nick and he brings Steph Curry with him.

Right, No, but think bigger. I'm the Knicks. What am Mike? What do I do? I say?

Right, No, but think bigger. I'm the Knicks. What am Mike? What do I do? I say?

Okay, Well, obviously Steve Kurr is not gonna leave. He's got everything going there. He's gonna stay with Golden State until he wants to step back and then you know, and retire or run do something and then go back to broadcasting. But you know what I do. And and if if you're okay with thinking, you can get Jason Kidd from the Mavericks. You call the heat for Eric Spolstra. I was gonna say it go down those long tenured guys. You call the heat for sport look the guy. Honestly, he and Steve Kurr two best coaches in the NBA outside of barn Stop. If you say Doc Rivers name one more time, Doc Rivers, don't don't stop stop. I can I found out. I can have you sports talk radio arrested. If you say something really put me in radio jail. Yeah, radio jail. You'll be in radio jail.

But uh but if you're thinking I'm serious, If you think so, go get Eric Spolster, right, because again the guy, he and Steve Kerr the two best coaches in the NBA.

Right.

Right.

Eric Spolster has a resume you absolutely want. He is still considered a younger head coach because he got the gig when he's he's been there almost twenty years. But look how successfully he look how successfully is in the playoffs with teams that aren't any good spots. Has been able to figure out teams with big egos and and big contracts and that are disappointing, that overachieved, that underachieved. There's nothing the guy can't do. So I say, okay, Eric spolsterra is Miami set to win?

Their era is. Who knows what's gonna happen the next few years with Miami.

Their era is. Who knows what's gonna happen the next few years with Miami.

Just Residne Tyler here, you got that going?

Just Residne Tyler here, you got that going?

Yeah, good luck him and his bucket hat. Yeah yeah, good luck that. Thirty eight wins. That's great, thirty eight wins and you'll sneak in into the seven to ten round of the playoffs. If if you're really gonna go big game hunting, you call Pat Riley and go, hey, Pat, we got some stuff on you when you faxed in your resignation in the mid nineties.

Yeah, good luck him and his bucket hat. Yeah yeah, good luck that. Thirty eight wins. That's great, thirty eight wins and you'll sneak in into the seven to ten round of the playoffs. If if you're really gonna go big game hunting, you call Pat Riley and go, hey, Pat, we got some stuff on you when you faxed in your resignation in the mid nineties.

So you're gonna let us talk to Spolstra.

So you're gonna let us talk to Spolstra.

We're gonna let the wa whoa, whoa, look a man, Pat doesn't watch him detective shows again, that's the kind of thing.

We're gonna let the wa whoa, whoa, look a man, Pat doesn't watch him detective shows again, that's the kind of thing.

It's like, hey, I know what you get over. I got stuff. Find it. It's a big bluff, right, it's a big bluff.

It's like, hey, I know what you get over. I got stuff. Find it. It's a big bluff, right, it's a big bluff.

But that when you came over from the Rats squad, we know what's going on.

But that when you came over from the Rats squad, we know what's going on.

Man.

Man.

I know they did that in Department QU on Netflix where they just see it. We have some stuff on, we have some stuff on you. You know. I like about Department Q. They say urinal urinal, and I'm like, oh my god, it's pretty fo favorite part is that an urino because they have it's a detective show and they have their office in the basement of the where they had like showers and their urinals and toilets.

I know they did that in Department QU on Netflix where they just see it. We have some stuff on, we have some stuff on you. You know. I like about Department Q. They say urinal urinal, and I'm like, oh my god, it's pretty fo favorite part is that an urino because they have it's a detective show and they have their office in the basement of the where they had like showers and their urinals and toilets.

And people come down and they say, is that an uranal? And that's how they say it. Not a urine. All is that a urinal.

And people come down and they say, is that an uranal? And that's how they say it. Not a urine. All is that a urinal.

I'm like, oh my god, I didn't know you can say the word like that. That's fantastic. Now you'll never stop using the word. No, I'm gonna say I like that all the time. Yeah, but you say, okay, hey, Spolster knows I'm not close to winning. I'm not close to getting my next big NBA superstar player. Jimmy Butler is gone, and now you know, how are we going to rebuild? Are we going to convince someone to come here and take let and and take a lot of money. How are we gonna build? The Knicks are ready and I want to go win again. It's been a while since I won. And I know again I don't pat Riley sure as hell doesn't want to do the Knicks any favors. But if you're gonna call Dallas, why not call them by Miami heat? Why not call because this, I think is a great strategy for the Knicks because you can say, hey, we want to go biggest of big game, honey. Because you get told no by the teams, that's okay, that's that's not that's not Hey, the Knicks look bad because hey, you get permission to talk to Spolster, and he says, no, you perished to talk to Jason Kidney. He says, no, go to those big teams, because it would be Hey, we're not gonna allow you permission. It's not gonna happen. And clearly there's ways to make it happen. There's trains that could happen. There's a coaching I really would like to go. I'd like this opportunity, pat Riley want to do the nixt any favors. But if you're gonna, if you're gonna do this, don't limit yourself. Go for the brass ring. Go to the top. Nick, call Miami and say we want Eric Spolstra and and and figure out a way to make it happen. Like you, if you're gonna go down this one, go big man, Go as big as absolutely large as you can.

I'm like, oh my god, I didn't know you can say the word like that. That's fantastic. Now you'll never stop using the word. No, I'm gonna say I like that all the time. Yeah, but you say, okay, hey, Spolster knows I'm not close to winning. I'm not close to getting my next big NBA superstar player. Jimmy Butler is gone, and now you know, how are we going to rebuild?

Like you, if you're gonna go down this one, go big man, Go as big as absolutely large as you can.

Now based on my quick googling, he's in year two of an eight year extension. Yeah, we'll pay all the money. But then he has dealt with pat Riley.

Now based on my quick googling, he's in year two of an eight year extension. Yeah, we'll pay all the money. But then he has dealt with pat Riley.

To your point of all these years, I don't know that you gotta go full Hey, we know what we know about you within and that's a whole other piece to it. But if he's been able to work alongside pat Riley and make things work.

To your point of all these years, I don't know that you gotta go full Hey, we know what we know about you within and that's a whole other piece to it. But if he's been able to work alongside pat Riley and make things work.

He can put up Dolan.

He can put up Dolan.

I mean that's a walk in the park, right, I mean because he'll be an absentee owner for a ton of it. You look at dealing with Leon Rose and you've got a roster that thought it was assembled. Well maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. We'll never know because Tom Thibodeau didn't use it. So you have that giant question mark hanging over where you're at as a franchise. Again, compensation is one thing, but the trade compensation is more difficult.

I mean that's a walk in the park, right, I mean because he'll be an absentee owner for a ton of it. You look at dealing with Leon Rose and you've got a roster that thought it was assembled.

Again, compensation is one thing, but the trade compensation is more difficult.

You're in conference, does that matter?

You're in conference, does that matter?

Maybe a little bit angled to that, But yeah, if you're gonna make calls outwardly to go and try to poach somebody, yeah, go big game hunting, whether it's the collegiate level or the pro level. You got your eye on a particular assistant.

Maybe a little bit angled to that, But yeah, if you're gonna make calls outwardly to go and try to poach somebody, yeah, go big game hunting, whether it's the collegiate level or the pro level. You got your eye on a particular assistant.

Same thing.

Same thing.

I mean, we've been joking about longest tenure because Billy Donovan's now third after Tom Thibodeau's dismissal. He's third in Chicago behind Kerr and Spostra. Yeah, just show you you out topsy Turvy and the coaching world is, and that he's still the memory remains like all these other coaches of the year have been fired and moved on, maybe be moved on from by a second team in that that timing. But sure I like it, you know, and you're you're only partially speaking as a as a knicks honk there No, because we know what I could say, Hey, how about uh Spolstra and uh, we'll send you Karl Anthony Towns. How about that? Hey, you gotta get a star players, right, you gotta start play. Look at me, I'm making I'm making things out.

You just want to get rid of this happen.

You just want to get rid of this happen.

You're just still wishing you had the timestone. I got to get a turned back for that trade, and Hartenstein would come back, and Divigenzo would come back, and Julius Randa would come back, and Obi Toppin would come back and Doc Rivers.

You're just still wishing you had the timestone. I got to get a turned back for that trade, and Hartenstein would come back, and Divigenzo would come back, and Julius Randa would come back, and Obi Toppin would come back and Doc Rivers.

Stop no, stop, I can have you arrested now.

Stop no, stop, I can have you arrested now.

I think he went further back at the timeline than I did. The security guard outside, I can have him come in and take you out in handcuffs. I mean now, it's those plasts can cut off. So you're saying I would go missing with the Mets offense. Yeah, yeah, apparently yeah, that's exactly what's going on. But you know, think big, right, don't don't think small. Think big, and not that Jason Kidd is small. But if this is I mean, you ll go, well he is. He is not as taller than you. He is, but not by much. I mean he's six 's one, yeah, but I mean, you know, okay, so he's three. It really doesn't take a whole lot to be taller than the lot of us. I mean, the only thing you guys have in common is no hair.

There was uh well, neither of us. Neither us is coaching right now. Were you ever part of something called Triple j What do you mean he's not coaching.

Listen, the Mavericks aren't playing, he's not coaching, but he's still their coach.

Listen, the Mavericks aren't playing, he's not coaching, but he's still their coach.

He's always coaching.

He's always coaching.

Yeah.

Yeah, if you're a coach, you're always coaching.

Hey, you know what, you could have buttered that bread a little more efficiently, but go call the heat. So I'm putting that out in the universe, and I'm taking the doc rivers out.
