One of the big topics we've had tonight has been celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws, which we'll get into coming up in a few minutes. The big topic we've had so far has been with Jaws, birthing the modern era of movies. Right, Jaws in nineteen seventy five, fifty years ago. Today, the modern era movie. The era of movies has broken up into two eras, seventy five to now and pre nineteen seventy five. Right, so far, we talked about what the best movie of the last fifty years is, right, we talked about it.
Wait, you were alive in the nineteen hundreds.
I was, so were you? Frostburg?
You're so old?
At Tyshirt, so were you? I wasn't you guys were both born before nine thousand? Yeah, no way, yeah, and miss remembered. I do admit I am surprised to find out.
Tyan all the way back here, tysher.
What are you forty eight? I thought you were like thirty. You're older than I thought you were.
Yeah, I'm twenty four. What are you talking about?
John z been on the show for nine years, gen z uh. We talked about the best best movie the last fifty years? Right, because of Jaws fiftieth anniversary. We're gonna flip this around. Best movie pre nineteen seventy five coming up in about twenty minutes.
Let's really outdate ourselves.
No, it's for dude. You think people haven't seen I haven't seen movies, but that are hot. People watch Godfather all the time, by the way, Godfather is not at the top of my list. But people have seen. People have seen all these movies. Man.
Obviously Chinatown, okay.
Oh, Chinatown was terrific. It's good. Yeah, you go, but you dressed up as did you go as uh as Jake from Chinatown when you were a kid with the band on Halloween?
Absolutely?
But butterfly bandage over your nose, in the trench coat and hat.
I even went as Michael Douglas and Falling.
Down there you go. By the way, that.
Is one of the most underrated movies of all time.
Oh five sents eighty five cents, yeah, fifteen.
That was such a big deal when it came out. And this is back when, like very very few times now, a movie will come out and give you conversation for like a month, right, Like you say, movie comes out, you talk about it for a couple of weeks, you go on to the next one. But once in a while, that movie, you know, probably like two or three movies a year come out where they spawned big. There's such big hits. They spawned big conversations for like a month after, right, like Oppenheimer, Barbie did that, Top Gun, Maverick did that, right, and it happens that way, And and like Falling Down was one of those movies where we talked they was a big social not social experiment, but just a big reaction after that movie kept like for a month. It was all people getting sick and tired of stuff and what happened. And look at what happened in Des Moines, Iowa. This is what happened here. Like that movie had had a huge impact. That movie came out. Now that's like something that would have been nominated and won Best Picture.
Well, and then you have a movie that did and has never been seen again.
In Traffic, yeah.
Oh yeah, I just want my.
Yeah, good luck trying to find traffic on anywhere. How come they don't run traffic anymore? They've never run traffic. Then, don't get me started with the game. The game is another one that's in unbelievable. Oh hey, we just binged that like a couple of months ago. You know, he's always looking for a big action movie fun I said, oh no, no, the game is terrific. It's the game rated movie. Oh my god, it's so good. Yeah, I know. I'm with you Frostburg on that the game was so so.
I think we decided that Michael Douglas is the most underrated actor of all time.
We haven't gotten into Romancing the Stone yet, haven't gotten into basic instinct. Yeah, a lot streets of San Francisco haven't gotten into that with him. Well, I mean Last Vegas. Yeah, okay, now, now you just fell off a cliff right there with least. Hey, no, Rob and I'm telling you about lastics like Romancing the Stone and Wall Street and you're saying Last Vegas. Come on, yeah, the only you know. I'm sorry, answer the phone. Jerry Ferrara is calling in right now to agree. Go ahead, Greg, Greg, grab the phone, I'm sure. Knock Drew Brees off of hold and and and get to Jerry Ferrara. He wants to get on the air.
Hey, it's al.
He was also in uh ant Man and the Wasp. It was Wall Street.
You just said that like you're eighty five years old. I want to go see The ant Man and the Wasp. You know, you know what, hurt, that's a good movie.
You know what I revisited after after the passing of Val Kilmer. Was Ghost in the Darkness?
You know I saw that movie. I like the Ghost Hated the Darkness? Okay?
Or the Rose is obviously the American President. I mean you can do you can do the whole catalog.
Yeah, yeah, real genius, Yeah, one hundred percent.
What was it the Kaminski project that he did with Morgan Freeman?
Oh, I think so, oh wait, wait the can No, that's the Kandinsky Method. What was Is that what I'm thinking of? I think that's two different movies. No, no, no, because he did a TV show, Frank Frank Kaminski never did a movie. He played for Wisconsin bat been knocking around the end of it was the Kaminski Method. Sports Center all right, right, well Frothford knows a lot about Frank Kaminski. There you go. Legend. Uh. But we're getting set for Game seven of the NBA Finals on Stiday. Well, got that again, we'll turn that on. It's ere coming up in about twenty minutes. But Game seven set for Sunday. Finally, the end of the season is here, the NBA Final end And uh, you know, because you're thinking, okay, what a great way to end, will be a great button on the end of the season. Nope, two days later, we got the NBA Draft. Let's go. I kind of feel like I kind of feel like NBA fans are saying, Okay, I really want the finals to end because I want to get back in. I want to get back in the conversation, right like me being in. I want the Knicks to get back in the conversation. Baker fans want to get back in the conversation. We want the draft, and we want free agency, and we want it now now, now, now, now, now, And I'm like, Okay, it's gonna seem weird, but hey, NBA champion on Sunday. Draft is on Wednesday. I'm down with that. I am absolutely good with that. It seems like it's really fast, but hey, I'm okay with it.
Get them on, get them over, get them in right, and then then they can go have their off season. Get out of a banana boat. Dwayne Wade actually signed a banana boat that someone brought to the Fanatics Fest today, So I mean, you can get into your off season for real. That's great, and all those people that are on vacation, we'll finally get the phone call. They've either been dreading or really been anxious and anticipating, you know, to get them out of a hellish situation. Insert your favorite team here.
You all have one that you hate, unless you're still in the finals, or you're just emboldened by one or two big moves, you know, like a big ten billion dollars sale.
But you're waiting for their waiting for those calls. And they have been for weeks now, trying to orchestrate things behind the scene. Kevin Durant, he's worried about trades, but now he's got beaf with DeMarcus Cousins.
Right, they're sort of beef today. It was something special. Hey, you know, there were a bunch of fistfights. Like another word. It's like I heard it from one of your teammates, Like never happened. Man, Come on, man, it never happened. DeMarcus Cousins. Oh, by the way, when I got kicked out of a league for fighting a.
Fan, right, yeah, they threw beer at him, popcorn.
It was crazy, big week for DeMarcus Cousins. What do you got, Frostburg.
The MAVs will be capturing the flag next week.
Teaching Oh very nice, that's all. Yeah, Wednesday night. Yeah, and forget about the Flags of Our Fathers. The flag for the Mavericks will be taking number one over it.
You know a movie that could have been on the uh somebody's list.
Go, yeah, you're getting down the list of Yeah, down the listen, Chris Berman movie. Yeah, it's like a young Berman. It's Zach Effron in a room just coming up with nicknames. He's listening to the radio Flags nineteen movie in like nineteen sixty eight. Like let's say you get oh and Denny McClain with some American pie over the plate here in nineteen sixty.
Eight, and that movie would be called Killing Your Father, Larry.
A.
You know who is in Flags of Our Fathers? Gordon Klatt that.
Was here, Okay, all right, all right, we had we had a little bit of all right, little bit of metavoid now Game seven on Sunday. I've said from the beginning, look, I picked the Thunder to win the title before the playoffs. I'm not going away from it. Now. It's one home game for them to win. From the beginning of the finals, I've said this is how it's going to go. But time we get to game five. It's going to go home, home, home, right, Thunder at home Game five, Pats at home Game six, Thunder at home Game seven, and all of the Game seven cliches that we have heard that for years are going to come true. Yes, the Thunder bench will play better, support players will play better. It is the loudest arena in the league. It will be there and the Thunder will be able to feed off it. I don't think the Pacers bench will play quite as well. The Thunder also coming off a really subpar Game six, in which middle of the second quarter they just said we're done playing and we're ready to go back for Game seven. All that will happen, But I'll tell you what's going to happen on Sunday because he backed me up earlier in the series and I said, hey, SGA has got to come back off of this loss with a forty point game. If you're the MVP, these are the games you answer. And he came up, didn't score forty, but he had thirty five big game, the last thirteen points of the game for the Thunder, and they got back in the series and he steadied everybody. But I still feel like we're waiting for the big breakout game from SGA. Right, you look at his numbers, over thirty points every game in the playoffs and thirty points in the finals. He's playing great, but I feel like we're still waiting for that. Here is game seven, on the biggest level he'll ever be on at home. He is gonna have a Yannis Game six of twenty twenty one kind of impact. I'll say. He goes for fifty in this game, gets the free throw line at least twenty times, and in a big route it is Oklahoma City. He stays in to get his fiftieth point, comes out of the game. Big ovation for him late in the fourth quarter. But give me a fifty burger from SGA because he knows this is a game he's got to do it right. It can't be hey, Jalen Williams is surprising with forty one points. No no, no, no, Hey, Chet Holmbren's got twenty and fifty. Yeah, all that's great. This is an SGA game. He goes for fifty, and then we start arguing the big topic money will be bigger clinching game SGA in game seven, here for fifty or Yannis is fifty and fourteen in game six and twenty twenty one. That's the kind of game SGA has. SGA to score fifty or more points. He's ten to one. I like that. That's a win money, and that shows thirty five to thirty nine wouldn't what And doesn't that seem low? Like? Boy, I think the the for a fifty point game, those odds should be a little higher. Does it seem like they should be a little higher? Yeah, I don't know. I mean it's funny, man, fifty fifty in an NBA Finals game and it's only ten to one.
Yeah, that's all right. I mean it's he's a score. I mean, he averaged thirty thirty.
Two a game. Yeah, but this is fifty. No, I get it. But Vegas might know something. But thirty five to thirty nine is just even money. Okay, So expectation that's a lot, and that that he's going to eat on Sunday. The spread for the game itself, which started at either eight and a half or nine is down to seven and a half. Okay City Oklahoma City favorite of course.
Uh.
Some some fun in the uh the other prop bets, but we got well we'll get into that as we go. It's it's fun looking at Chet and Dort and all those things going back home after Miserable Game six. Is Mathern had a miserable Game six. So yeah, I wish they could both lose. Honestly, based on the way they both played in games five and six, five and then Sga and Company and the no show in game six, my man has more turnovers than he had made shots.
Yeah, no, I understand, you know, not aesthetically pleasing me for me, I mean, and I understand the logic of it, certainly.
It's something we've talked about here. Folks can go find it on the podcast. And I know Chris Plank is probably listening and losing his mind at me right now.
He'll follow us next hour.
But it's just the idea that you have a chance to clinch in your early second quarter. Yeah, there was a lid on the basket for a while, and you could say, wow, they had a little bit of a run in the third that that really wasn't a run. No point did you ever feel like, oh it's away. So but yeah, I would I love to see a punctuation mark After the year Shay Gildess Alexander had sure because we need that next line of superstars.
We keep trying to generate.
Them, and hey, here's one that would actually happen because of what he did on the damn court through the finish of a season as opposed to snippets Hi Anthony Edwards, Hi Tyrese Haliburton. And if Burton Taliburton does go and has a big Game seven and somehow they pull off a win, well, then you look at the path they had. Rick Carlile's name goes into a different level for as far as the coaching profession with a second title and being just a few wins away from cracking the top ten in regular season all time wins. So yeah, there's a lot of those fun history legacy plays that roll into this based on what we're going to see on Sunday.
Mike, don't forget he also owns the Knicks.
It's true. You know, Okay, you know what my favorite story was today. I know you have to just take it. Take it that I'm telling you the truth. You believe me is when you know I'm on today and I'm prepping and getting you know, getting ready, doing some stuff, and I look at Twitter and Game eight is trending and I see game eight trends. Sometimes I like to play a game and go, Okay, what do I think this is gonna be? Right? What do I think this is gonna be? And I see game eight trending, and I go, Scott Foster was named the official of game seven, right? And the whole thing is, hey, he's extending us to a game eight. Right, It's like Scott, I know. And I click on it, and sure enough, a parody account tweeted out, Hey, according to league sources, Scott Foster officiating game seven, which was not which was not true, but it was a parody account. And I but that's all everybody who's saying, Scott Foster, we're getting Game eight, We're I was like, yes, I guessed that. I first guessed that. I was so excited. I'm like, I got it right.
It's like the old world cheries. It's gonna be best in nine.
Exit up about a Fresco exit swollen Dome, the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harvet. So that's how Sunday is gonna play out.

Be sure to catch lived of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon. Back up, now, look, we'll get to the big pre nineteen seventy five topic in a second. But yeah, I want to say this because sometime, you know, I told you this week with my dad, it's been a really fun week. We decided to do the MLB the Streak together after the big story earlier this week about the guy that had the fifty game streak. You know, I'll have to do his pick a different player to get a hit every day, and if you get to fifty seven games, you can win like over five million dollars. MLB dot comin has been doing this for years and guy got to fifty games and had a really bad beat earlier this week, or he would have got to fifty one because the guy he picked on the A's had a base hit and fell into the outfield where the run, yeah, runner gets caught up between first and seconds, so instead of a base hit, it's a forest out and second. So I said, okay, my dad and I are gonna do it right, and it's and and and since then it's been Dad, come on. So because two days ago when we decided doing I'm like, great, Dad, you picked first, and he picks Andy Pa has right, I'm like, oh awesome. It was the night after, Piez had two home runs and the and the double, and the scene was a four for four. I said, yes, Andy, Pai has great. So the next day comes. So Wednesday comes and I said, okay, great, we got pies. Hey you got to hit his first time up, like great, dad, that's awesome. It was double. Yeah. Yeah. And my dad goes, oh no, no, I put him in for tomorrow. I go, why didn't you put him in for today. I'm like, come on, you put it. So we put him in for Thursday. Doesn't get a hit, right, So now my dad missus Wednesday puts it a third, doesn't get it. I said, okay. He goes, who do you want? I go, I'll show you how it's done. I'm gonna take Lindor right beginning of a big series against the Phillies. Give me, We'll take Lindor. My dad says, okay, great.
So, Jason, we gave you a rule yesterday.
Oh what was the rule?
He said, don't pick the Mets.
Yeah, I gotta kick it off. I want to win, right, So here's the thing. So I said, okay, Lindor. He goes, all right, great, all right, Lindor. So he texts me about four thirty. Okay, four thirty. He says, hey, I just got back and won't let me put Lindor in. And I said, oh, it was too late because of the seven o'clock. I said, Dad, because the game started fifteen minutes ago. He goes, oh, oh, sorry about that ago. You had all day your retire job. My dad is retired. He goes, He goes to Pavilion's a supermarket. He goes home, he comes over to say hi. He goes home. That's his day right down. So my dad, that you had all day, Dad, you had one job. Right So here's the thing. I said, Okay, forget it. I said, just let's go with Otani. Then he goes, all right, all put in for Otani. Lindor goes, oh for four Otani gets hit tonight, one down, fifty six to go. He said, pressure's on you, dad for game two. But he he blew it today. But it turned out to be good because we would have had an over for anyway, because how about that. What it would have been interesting is if somehow you guys did a reverse streak and you were able to get fifty seven straight days that you pick a guy that took an over. Oh ooh, I think that's probably the game somewhere, right. They gotta have somebody do that. You got not, I mean, we we should invent it. Yeah, guys gotta go. You all of a sudden, you're taking all guys back in eighth and ninth. That's it. This guy's really in a funk. We're hearing he's got some personal problems.
Nah, he's run up by, you know, a massive debt on you know, unbeknownst to him.
He just got informed by his accountant. So as he's struggling at the at the plate, why do you gotta go so dark with that? I'm just saying, guys that don't hit for a high, that are hitting like one seventy five and playing like, what, why do you go for? Well, we got we gotta fighting. Well, we gotta find out, you know, what's going on with these I mean, if I get that edge that the betters used, we got some inside dope as to what's going on with this guy. There's Harmon, No, no, no, Jason. Jason wants to find the guy hitting one seventy five and a bad streak barely in the lineup. Harmon wants to find the guy who's having the worst personal life possible, who's going through a divorce and is having his money stolen, drug loss, being forced to play a position he doesn't want to. Let me find the guy with the biggest personal problems. That's who I'm gonna pick the go over in this game. Like wow, okay, all right, Wow, I'm okay, all right. This guy's got a looming court date. I mean, oh man, he's found out like a musician. He's he's got some business managers or interpreters that are taking money from him. Maybe they go into a phone, Jemmy, you don't know. Let me google MLB starters with looming court dates and see what comes up. Exit up about a Fresco exit swollen The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harbon.

Thought that was gonna be a Marilyn Monroe reference, but no, I had I had to sake when you think I'm gonna say, mister coffee commercial.
Certainly, Steve, who do you think is popping out of the coffee maker?
You know, some generations actually thought that was what his claim to fame was, Joe Demash coffee guy.

Thank you, Steve O The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. On a very big day today as we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the release of Jaws. Fifty years ago today, Roy Scheider fell down the steps to get to the beach when they heard there was a shark in the water. Fifty years ago. Todayler Jaws is released and given credit with berthing the era of movies that last fifty years. At Jaws the first big summer blockbuster, everything we've seen the movies changed forever after Jaws came out. Before it was a much different era of movies. The only comedies were the really really smart ones from Woody Allen. There were no knee slapper or movies like Airplane or anything else. Jaws birthed all of that, and we've talked about since Jaws Birth the modern era, the best movie of the last fifty years in the modern era post nineteen seventy five, I've given you back to the future because it has everything you could ever want in a movie. Right now, you won to night anybody that anybody could want. Action Adventures is an opinion drama. No, what what doesn't it have? What doesn't that tell me something it doesn't have? It's got every character it's got doesn't have what do you mean character? He doesn't have character?
I mean it's lacking good actors.
Really, really, the act the acting in this is everybody is terrific in it. It's got everything. It's got acting, it's got writing, it's got the directing, the story. It's it's a thriller, it's a drama, it's a comedy. It's got a great soundtrack, it's got anything you want in a movie. This is what it has. Right So that so that's been the story. So it ranks highly for you. Yes, I'm telling you that's the best movie the last fifty years because it's got more than any other movie you could possibly give me. Other movies are great, and other movies do certain things better than Back to the Future, but no one does all of those things. Right. It's like back to the Future is the show, hey Otani of movies, right, And maybe there's some Some guys can steal bases a tiny bit better or hit home runs a tiny bit better, but no one can do all of those things. Some guys can pitch a little bit better, but nobody can do everything like Otani does. So there you go. I like, I like a report card that's got a bunch of a's on it. The way you're describing it, there's a lot of b's. Otani doesn't have all a Really yeah, I.
Know, but take that back.
But I'm saying the way you set it up. And then you jump over and say, well, he's Otani, so like you, you're doing the all right, let's compare it and make it the best. When you say, well, it's got a little bit of everything. No, not the best in everything, but it's got a lot of these things. Okay, Well someone who can do all of that, we've never seen. A Otani is the best player any of us have ever seen. So many things because he can pitch and he can hit unlike anybody we've ever seen. Like, if you want to say, hey, who's the best man he's guest on between? No, what fine? Like if you want to say, who's the best hitter between him or Judge, all right, that could be a toss up. I'll give you that. But Otani's a better base dealer and he can pitch. Okay, if you want to say that that, uh, Turik Skubl is a better pitcher than Otani. Okay, but Otani is really close and Schooble can't hit. He can't hit at all. So that's my point is that he does everything at such a high levels, not like he could hit twenty home runs and knock in seventy five runs and play a good outfield like that. You're Andy pa has right as good as the guy is. He's an all star player. Yeah, Andy pauzays everything well. Otani excels at everything, and there are certain players that individually can maybe do a little bit better, but nobody can do all of those things. Like everything Otani does. He doesn't like the level of nine. And are there some players that can do a nine and a half just on hitting home runs or just on stealing bases or just on pitching. Yeah, but no one else can do anything else up above a nine all the way like he can. So that's why Back to the Future is the Otani of movies. Yeah, well I put it at as a really good haul of very good no for I'm gonna have Frostburg check me. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I know I know where to go for my judging. Thank you. So we did that. Now, if you had to ask me, pre nineteen seventy five the best movie, which is a much different error where it's basically drama filled. Uh, it's it's mystery. It's a lot of anxiety induced moments, slow build movies. Again, this is how movies were made, you know, for the longest time, and then you know, Jaws changed everything. But if I'm going now, it's tough for me because I get that people are gonna say Godfather and Casta Blanca and Wizard of Oz and I get all of that, but I got to put everything into perspective right performances and and I'm not gonna go too far away. But I'm gonna go pre nineteen seventy five. I'm gonna go Butching Sun Dance. Okay, I've got the sting Oh, the sting was great. Sting was phenomenal.
About Raging Bull.
Raging that was nineteen eighty what raging but what Yeah, Raging Bull was nineteen eighty.
Yeah, so it's more relevant.
I'm gonna do a monologue. I just think of that scene from Waiting for where the guys is, I'm gonna do a scene from the movie Raging Bull.
You said it's you in nineteen eighty like that was a bad thing.
No, well, because we're going pre nineteen seventy five now, but we would do that. We're just doing it for a couple of minutes. I just from Waiting for Guffman where they're all auditioning and the guy says, I'm gonna do a scene for the movie Raging Bull. You blake my wife? What you blake my wife? I'm your brother? Why whatever? You blake my wife? He keeps doing that. Uh. Gangs New York there too, Okay, Gangsy again. That was two thousand and two, two thousand and two thousand and two. Gangs of New Yorker two thousand and two, two thousand and two. You're right, Frostbrook just wants blood. He just wants blood. One on the page and on the screen. That's what he wants.
He's a man who has the very visceral reaction. It's from the gut.
I mean, am I wrong that first? Blood is my favorite movie.
First of all, the first sound track, Yeah, the most.
Second favorite movie is Blood Sport, Shock, Cluck vent. My third favorite movie is with Steven Seagull Out for Blood.
I thought you were gonna say, Sudden Death is your next favorite movie with Jean Claude Van Dam that.
Doesn't have blood in it?
Well, there's blood and that is in the title. Yeah, well no, but still it's it's implied there's going to be blood because it's called sudden death. The guy gets to play Goldie and stop a penalty shot. You know, he's and only is it's just a you know, some kind of hero. He's not a hockey player at all. He's able to go out there and some penalty shot. That's something. Blood. Uh yeah, sure, bloods simple, yeah, blood diamond. Lots of movies of blood.
There will be blood.
Yeah, there once was blood. Blood was there, but now it's gone. Hopefully there will be blood in the future. I don't know, is there any blood? Blood? Red? Blood is red? Sure? Big black bugs bleed black blue blood, but baby black bugs bl bloody.
Sure my nose is bleeding.

How many stairs is this shark gonna fall down?
That's a lot. That's a lot of stay mad shark are those are stairs that are thrown in from like a shark nado that land on the steps so they fall down there you go. I always love how all the sharks landed right on people, like the number of sharks that landed right on because you have to land right on a person, right You can't. You can't like land like, you know, ten feet away, because you know you'll die and the you know, oh wow, that was close. But the sharks just land right on people.
Do you guys know what a shark and Peter Griffin have in common? What both sound exactly the same when they fall down some stairs.
Some time, you're into Robert Loser in the airport. So we gave you our big bull predictions for Sunday in the NBA Finals. Biggest story of the week the Lakers being sold for ten billion dollars to businessman Mark Walter, who owns part of the Dodgers. And what is next? Right, we've heard a lot, now what is next? And we told the beginning of the week, hey, this is great news. Right. The first thing was this is great news because now the Lakers can start behaving more like a modern NBA team and not the mom and pop operation and not be beholden to money because it seemed like a lot of decisions they made the last few years are well, we don't want to spend this kind of money or this kind of money. You watched Genie buss and and and Rob Polinka get met in the middle by Lebron and Clutch Sports and how they basically ran things for a while. So it's good because now the Lakers are going to be able to compete. Now, what's next for this team is twofold one. I know that Genie Buss is staying on as governor for an indeterminate amount of time. This is going to be a one year thing, right, Like, like this is whether she wanted to write it in that she's going to continue to run the team through this transition, whatever it's going to be. But this is going to be one year because guys don't buy teams to have the old owner running it, right, they don't. They don't do that, right. You know, you don't buy a house just so the guy that lived in the house you bought it from to live in it for a while, right, you want to go live in that house, right, So it'll probably be a year, and I'm sure that you know this is part of the agreement that you sell the team. It will be a year and then very quietly, at the end of this year, Genie Buss will step away and Mark Walter will be the full owner. Now that being said, the thing that's gonna happen. Lebron James is still sitting at the end of his run as a Laker, Right, maybe this is the last year for him and he has to go finish his career someplace else. You could see that they're building around Luca. But this is not gonna be an off season where the Lakers stand pat and Okay, we're gonna run it back. We have new ownership, we have lots of new things happening, and let's see what happens this year before we're gonna No, you're not gonna waste what could be the last great year of Lebron's career. You don't know what you're gonna get after. The Lakers are gonna be aggressive in this offseason. There's gonna be trades, they're gonna spend money. They're gonna spend more money than they have. You're gonna start hearing first and second Apron conversations with the Lakers. It's they're gonna come in and Mark Walter is gonna want to make a splash and say this is what I want to do, and they're gonna find a way around the money situations that they have, and they're gonna go out and say, all right, right now, we're gonna go We're gonna go build a team that is going to compete for a title now, mainly because it could be Lebron's last year and for the Lakers, Okay, if you spend money wherever you're at after this year, you don't have to sign Lebron, right, you have to give them fifty million dollars after this year. But I'm sure you know this is what's gonna happen for this year, and after this you would be out of that. So if you want to move on, you'll be able to do it. But they're not just gonna come into this offseason and sit still. They're gonna make big moves. They will find a way, they will move money around. They will make trades, just like they were able to make the Luka doantics trade happen when you didn't think they had assets. They'll do something. They'll do big stuff this summer. It's gonna be a big summer for the Lakers. Well, I mean, they got far less than one would think they should have in the open market place, so that there's tinfoil hats to be handed out to everybody as we discussed those things. But Finney Smith and Lebron have you know, player options, so that gets you far beyond what the actual cap is. So you know, it's fuzzy math.
As we move forward, when we're talking about aprons and the new look, NBA, in terms of these agreements, you can't play the game like you do with baseball, as we've talked about. So it'll be curious where they're going to make a lot of improvements. I think is training and infrastructure, all of those things in terms of treatments and being able to add all those different layers of support that have not been there. Again, the money was always in the banana stand and you didn't have the other businesses that you can lean on to build. But Walter and Company, Yeah, that'll be the first order of business. Luco get his deal and you'll see how you can compete. Well, getting rid of Lebron after this year frees up fifty million dollars.
But now you wonder like, oh, are things going to change for Lebron suddenly? Hey, I'm all in. I want to be all in, guys. I want to be new owner. I want to have my influence. Maybe now I want to stay a little bit longer because it's a new thing. You're not pushing me out like you were. I remember that could be part of it too. Lebron extension could be on the way. Mike Harmon, Yeah, I think now you're it's a pipe dream, He'll be somewhere else, somewhere else. Exit owt about a Fresca exit swollen dome for Mike Im Jason up next to Plank, show this
