"The same number as last year in the bubble. Anthony davis read and play in the bubble durant. Didn't play in the bubble yet but there was where they were already heard though that what didn't get hurt. Yeah but that's the injury during the season. No already heard rewiring way. Twenty gains to rent was out though. But what is the but it was way more injuries this past year. I just i'll clay. I mean it's a number last year but the number seem to be way higher. I just don't feel like it was the same with a shorter season and the same number of people got hurt. I don't buy it. But anyway i think that it has nothing to do with health. Whatever people use it as an excuse to get paid and not play. That's exactly what it is. It has nothing to do with anything else. It's a way of taking a night off. And just saying i don't feel like playing and it's not frowned upon because some of the biggest stars have done it at once. They started doing it other guys in feel shamed into it. When michael jordan played eighty two games other guys weren't taking nights off. they looked at. That's the guy he's the guy in the league. He's the best guy hoover he don't take a night off. How the hell am i going to take a night off a my right. No you're absolutely right that they looked at jordan. I'm trying to be like him and catch him. And i'm taking a night all people to laugh at you. Heard what do you mean you not playing right right and i'll tell you how you can fix it. I'll tell you how you fix it you you put them in. If they're not injured you felt that stat line near averages chris. Two zero zero zero cost aboard. If you're not injured you tell me. How many guys would sit out chris.

"I wanna see a bright spot just because of the element of speed that he brings to the lineup and when you factor in that the goals that he's scored sport at even strength at Kinda makes it a little bit more interesting as you move forward. There's no doubt that he needs to work on a complete two hundred foot game. But i think that's very consistent with a lot of the players from the kings that they've gotta be. They've got to buy into playing that complete two hundred foot game four check play away from the pot Towards the end of the year not only. His numbers fell off. A lot of the players fell off So camberley point that out that know. His game really changed drastically. I think it was the the old raw product of the team. So i think he's a player to wanna take a look at Be it gives you a little bit more time for the other players to be able to grow but With his speed again. He's a guy that can be taneja on the four check. He can open things up for his linemates and he's showed when he does get the puck. Stick that he has the ability to be able to finish so I i'm i'm looking forward to hopefully the kings Being able to put that together and give them another look on a as we might call a normal type of season and the seed away he it all plays out over a full eighty two game year. The lines were a challenge this year between injury covid and just trying to nail down identity of this team at tennessee who has such a unique skill set with that speed and not only speed but also we saw a couple of his goals the ability to navigate through tight traffic close to the net What kind of linemates would you put him with to to maximize the value of that skill. Set where he you know. He's a player that you know again as he plays in initiators a little different because sometimes on the line. Matchups you got. Were not what you normally see. In a regular season. I think if these slotted on your third unit maybe on your fourth unit with that type of speed up. You know he's going to be up against the opposition. Let's say the third parodi fans Which is going to give them a little bit more space to be able to. You know make plays that. He's capable of making When when you're playing top six forward roll you know you're up against the other teams generally top four defense most of the time. It's it's a little bit more challenging. So i think if the kings can fill the holes in front of him and he gets slotted in the right position..

"You know. just rehash it. Is you know this was a whole season. That was just about answering questions. The playoffs would have been a dream. Come true and it would have been a great experience. But at the same time i think the most important thing was to be able to figure out what that roster's going to look like next year when we hit eighty two game season and expects a lot of the younger players who now are gaining experience to be able to come in and make an impact before. Yeah and we're going to put off the more positive than negative to later. 'cause i wanna talk about this notion of an active offseason because i it's it is all anybody's talking about it and i totally understand it from a from not only a fan perspective but also from a media perspective and those of us that work for the team carlin. Jim darryl nick. Alex unites at our zach But nick had me on the radio last night news asking me during the first intermission. Do i think that there's going to be a ton of moves this offseason and the reality is. I don't think there's going to be a ton. I think there obviously will be some And i and. I think that they will have to be important but looking at the free agency list. I don't see a ton of earth. Movers and and further to that point. I don't see a ton of earthmovers that are at a point in their career where they would say yes. The right thing for me is to come join a team. That has missed the playoffs. For three years in a row and and you know et cetera et cetera. And unfortunately you see quotes. I don't know if you read the tyler. Toffoli piece in the players tribune but he echoed a sentiment that a number of players have echoed when they leave l. a. which is l. as great if you're a professional athlete in the national hockey league because you get a ton of money there you know you can get good seats at like the dodgers game and occasional. You'll meet the celebrity but nobody. Nobody's going to bother you for an autograph when you go grocery shopping. Local newspapers aren't writing a ton of stories. About who you're dating or you know whatever whatever and that's great and lord knows. I wish i made that kind of money. So i live that that version of living in la but any but then he goes to hoover and we saw this with wayne simmons and we've seen it with a number of other players who leave la who started their career and they go play in another city and they go. Oh this is a hockey market And so you know. La has never been particularly successful at luring high profile free agents in either of the ducks..

"And, you know, the hatred kind of it's just some teams were already done and but obviously what Heather said the Kraken in Vancouver. I mean You want to see them be able to play each other and stuff like that and create that and start that rivalry. But yeah, you gotta worry about everyone safe safety and health first. So it's just, you know, maybe half way through the season, whatever, or a quarter of the Season, who knows? I just hope I'll take any kind of hockey, any, any kind of eighty-two game season next year. I'll be happy with, I'm not going to be selfish about this but, you know, I like to see the divisions. Go back to what they were because I do like playing Montreal. I do like games against Toronto and stuff like that, and I like seeing them a good amount of times and because, you know, Bruins do pretty damn good do pretty damn well against them. So it's I don't want to see Ovechkin for the rest of his career playing against the Bruins numerous times and that'll ones. I'm enough. I've had enough across being Malkin cuz, you know, you never know, with milk and Malkin. Friggin Tomahawk anyone any second. Now he's Russian. Can't trust them. So yeah, you can't trust them. Yeah, it's a Russian gas. Yeah. No, I'm a huge journalists as everybody knows. I love the history of the game and, and, you know, the original six and all that stuff. And and yes, I want to see one Montreal because I love beating them. We have the opportunity to engage in Toronto who can't get out of the first round and when we're there and and impeding that that forward progress for the leaves, it's always great to see and also the fan meltdown, but you gotta think of it as a business to write. And I'm I'm not saying I want this, just let's clarify that what I'm saying is the NHL is probably looking at this and saying Jesus, you see all this frig-in madness that's going on and how we're doing with ratings and what we could do with a new network and so on and build from there, they might see this as a friggin marketing Fleur and and and run with it. I I wouldn't want to see it but the reason why it's weird is if you go to an eighty-two game schedule, you're going to stop mixing up with other teams too and outside your division. You're not automatically going to be locked into playing the a teams over and over and over again. So you can go on the road and and and fumble one and found have the benefit of what everybody else is doing. But it's not going to impact the season a regular season, like it did with this condensed 56 gamer.

"Played do matter. They matter most to me. Chris for certain awards more than others especially mvp because valuable is right in the damn title most valuable and being available playing a lot of games playing minutes that matters so is lebron off. My mvp ballot. Because of the games missed yeah. He is all as a different exercise now. I know some people say well. The i five guys on all mba in the first five on the mvp. That's like that should be the same thing and it's up ones by position even if the is gonna mess with those positions and the other one's not all mba's about outstanding outstanding players mvp is fundamentally different because of that word valuable and so games played matters. More second thing to me is this. It's lebron freaking james. If i'm going to ever create an exception on the all nba. Tim again not for mvp but with all mba. Am i going to go the extra mile to make sure that the best player of his generation who was having an outstanding and mvp caliber type statistical year. That he makes it on because it doesn't make sense not to have him on yeah. I think it's fully justified. Dude is averaging twenty five nearly eight assists and nearly eight rebounds on the usual high efficiency shooting. He is still a dominant player when he's out there and as soon as somebody says yeah but he's missed too many games. This is what i'm going to say. He's played forty-three. The the lakers. You and i speak have i think. Four or five games left so he's going to get into the high forties. I did some research. Because this is what i do. Because i'm a freaking dork. But i think. I think historical precedent matters. So i looked it up since the merger fewest games to make all nba. This isn't an eighty two game season. Not a seventy two game season so you gotta do some adjusting scottie. Pippen made thirteen one year. Ninety seven ninety eight with forty four out of eighty two lebron's played forty three and seventy two right now and he's going to attack on another few games so pippen forty four yao-ming in two thousand six seven played. Forty eight games made the second team. Granted lower bar for because not as many especially then dennis rodman back in ninety. Four ninety five made the thirteen by playing only forty nine games. There are some guys who were in the fifty fifty one range. Pete muravich steph curry shack. Dwayne wade all of these. This is only eighty two game seasons. That i was looking at not the lockout years worth it sort of italy low anyway so if you look at those percentages and.

"Don't have to but when mark cuban was complaining about well what if we don't get to to the six seater or now we have to go all out to get to the succeed in you know late in the season you want to be able to rest guys or whatever not risk injury like that's the whole point six had to work and they have an paid so their credit. I think last i checked. I think they're in sixth right. So they're doing fine. The mavericks are going to be okay. But in the meantime we've had much more interesting things to watch in the day to day jockeying for position i. I cannot see a downside. Are you guys still getting any pushback on this. Or is the league as a whole at the league level team level. Feeling pretty good about the way. This is unfolding right now. I think a few things were certainly. You know you mentioned one team. That has been vocal in their criticism. And we're certainly getting some of that As we did when we initially discussed having a plan tournament which is if a team over the course of eighty two games earns that what what they felt as earning the seven seed for example. And and when you don't put you know thresholds on these things in terms of the the number of games between seven eight or eight nine you could have a seven c that is significantly better in terms of win loss record than ten seed and there was a feeling some still feel that after having put that body of work for eighty two games the possibility of losing your playoff spot after two losses in a row is is a bit tough right and and we hear that and that's just the trade off of what what we are talking about in terms of benefits The other one that that's been highlighted. This year is interesting because One of the reasons. We felt that the plan was so important. This particular year was we knew there were going to be some inequities resulting from all the issues..

Starting a few weeks where you really have to batten down. The hatches cross. Ut's dot your. I's make sure this team is ready to go.

Now you know a team that everybody counted out coming into this season. Nobody thought the next. You know when when you look at a lot of these numbers to. I mean the next this is just the fourth time since the twenty twelve twenty thirteen season that they've won thirty games now. This isn't a full eighty two game season. They're only playing seventy two games this year but that winning thirty two games or thirty games is not a good season. That means you're still going thirty two and fifty and that was porzingus is i two game First two seasons in the nba. They went thirty two and fifty and they went thirty one and fifty one. The only other time was was the last time the playoffs at thirty seven and forty five. So you know you can. You can say what you want but right now the fact that there are over five hundred have thirty wins and look like an end. The season over five hundred and potentially make their way towards forty wins. You gotta be happy with with how this is going especially intimidates. First year this team.

"Some other companies as well China remember website that they're doing it on but anyway it's basically so that we still have voters rights right for us. Voice is going to be heard when they're trying to limit how often people can early vote. They're trying to limit mail in voting things of that sort. So with that background reason. Why major league baseball star game matters is because it's here in georgia. There has been several times in history. Where major sports organizations have moved big moneymakers in near primetime events from certain cities. I remember when nba. Move right So there's a push now for major league baseball to to move it outside to take also gained somewhere else if things don't change hand georgia What do you think about that. Think dope and i'm seeing 'em. Ob has has the nut sustained that for some shit. like that. like i i i'll see i seen. Nba make certain moves. You know what. I mean to try to ingratiate that a door. That's a good word for word. Yes go work with with with with with our community. I don't. I haven't seen melby ever do anything like that so they had. I'm curious to see what step go ahead. what steps they will take in that direction. Because that'll be a big move them. You know what. I mean the reality is you look at mlb. Now there's probably about seven black glaze. Now was more than that don't do that. Don't do no. I am going to do that sir. I'm not exaggerating You are exaggerating. i'm all right. I'm not gonna count. Latino american look it up. I'm looking to keep going american more than what's your negative twenty seven. Okay now look it up. i'm looking at all from. This is why we got what. Wow okay. seven point eight percents. That ain't no money now. So you still twenty picks the house was. That's the homeo- meal homeo- johnny some dope Frames and some dope stylings follow underscore mix styles. Eat percent push initiate. Push their yes. Oh super-low so i'm like but that's because we don't play baseball. Well that's issue. The i know this seven point. Eight percent of of a billion dollar business is still a good number but anyway let's not get number but it's a number so like you said it'll be interesting to see where they take but you know a lot of major league baseball. They have one hundred eighty two game season. I don't better full season this year. They probably okay are also no. It was today. Right does so with that being said then They have a lot of corporate sponsors. Be able to pay these big huge contracts. So what i will say is like what what side do you think. He's cope responsible full on. Because i don. I think they're going to have a pushback then not going to be. They're not going to be the ones to the nba different. Because they know like i. we ninety five percents. Yeah like. I don't do that night. Nfl when we try no. We're not doing it. We're not going for that. But they basically ended up his careers.

"The free throw line scoring the ball and do a little bit of creating from the perimeter can be that escape valve in the press to bring the ball up here em rolls really well and pigs roll when there's no contact. He's even slippery in a sense of sneaking in behind the plan the fast break and and scoring when no one else is really paying attention, but it's just the way he's pushed around the post off. And struggles to maintain his position, even when they played Oregon the other night LJ Figueroa who's a bigger Wing was guarding him but he had a hard time maintaining his spot and he's able to bring himself out now because he has good length. He's a very soft touch over the top and it's not like he doesn't initiate a bump either. It's more once he gets that move. She can be pushed off where he's going and I'm just worried off like that type of arm rebounding arm extending is different when you're out of the Pac-12 guys with 742 wingspans protecting the Rim Yeah. Overall, I agree with you. I think that strength especially in conjunction with his body type as well because while Evan Mobley is very fluid athlete like if you watch him like flip his hips defensively it's kind of insane in for someone who's seven foot like how the fuck does that guy do that kind of things. He does a very high hips and guys with high hips can tend to be moved around the little birth. Right and that's like mechanical thing within his body. That isn't going to go away write like write it change that he needs to get a lot stronger throughout his lower half. Like you can mitigate the problem by getting stronger throughout your lower half, but you don't necessarily change the way that your body is built over time. So Evan Mobley this year as an 18.2 defensive rebounding rate if he's going to be like a legitimate defensive like stopper. I think that like people are projecting him is like this like frankly like all defense guy off feels like that's what the idea here is right for like some people. Yeah, I guess that's projection but I don't necessarily see that. Yeah, I think he liked could get there in a playoff setting where switch ability is just a lot more important. Right? Like I think that he can be an incredibly valuable Center in a playoff setting because of that switch ability and plus is like ball skills and everything but I do worry that over the course of an eighty-two Game season where he's kind of getting beaten up like across the court. Is he going to be effective enough as offensive rebounder? I think that you're going be able to mitigate that as a team, but do so, you're going to have to put a couple of really strong rebounding players next to him in a lineup which just frankly kind of limits the way that you build bots in a little bit if.

"But if you're the knicks and you're trying to formulate this team or you're trying to grow this team do you cash in on a julius randle the way he's playing right now and trade them to get younger. I mean the. The life expectancy in terms of julius randle. The way he's playing right now doesn't coincide with the rise of rj barrett. Who's what twenty twenty one years old in the second year in the nba. I know you need some building blocks. And i know you need them pieces. Mitchell robinson is a piece to provide for a role player. I don't think he could be a guy who could be a number two or number three on the team that's vying for a championship of being one of the better teams in the eastern conference. Did you have that. Potentially rj barrett. I dunno i. I just don't know i don't know if he has the the physical gifts. The be that superstar that can that can carry a team. I don't know but he's young. he's i think the jury is still out in terms of what type of player eventually he's going to be in. Having coach like typical was going to get the best out of rj. At least we know that he'll be able to play some deepens. Not how long typically lasts as the coach of the new york knicks but time that he leaves whether it be in two years or fifteen years. We know that all of those guys will have a new found love passionate respect for playing defense for playing hard every night til is a type of coach though that can be with the team for for fifteen years and have the same group. It's just a style. He come from the same cloth as say a scott skylight. Where he's going to push he's going to get on your. He's gonna motivate ya. He's going to demand a lot. You but after a while man at the stuff wears you out where as well so the nba. You can't play like this game. Seven of the championship eighty two times a year. I don't care who you're just it's just not humanly possible. I don't care. What type of athlete are you are. I don't care what type of genetic physical frequent that you are. You can't play the way we expect. Nba player to play which is hard balls to the wall. All the time for eighty two games for seventy seventy two games even seventy games like hey man if you give me maximum effort in an eighty two game season if you.

But i would love to know how fast that shot was I would guess over one hundred miles an hour at this point but who knows Let's talk about our man. Joe pavelski tell me Tell everybody what you told me. About the whole eighty two game if it was eighty two games and what pace beyond be on Yeah if it was a two game season the pace that pavelski is on right now. He would get approximately two hundred eighty seven points. That's which beats the current read. Wayne gretzky by seventy five. That's insane so you wanna be gretzky. Keep it up until oh. I don't see how that's going to happen. It's looking pretty easy for him. So far so what would be his actual pace right now in the fifty six game. I forgot i didn't write it down. Well he had four last game and he had three this game so let's say that he gets three every game would that be hundred and eighty points. Maybe we do mad when something like that. Not realistic but still pretty cool. And how old is this guy again. Thirty six years old old old too old to be playing hockey says absolutely fantastic San jose must be looking adam right now i'm being like a boohoo and their fans at least my goodness. It's all because they signed eric. Carlson all right here. That i was actually a little bit surprised about with a with the game so the the fourth line did not play that much in the game today which is a little different and i. I understand why because we're missing key. Were missing ben on top of the three guys that we were already missing but robertson had seven and a half minutes on a nice and then same thing with camano. He had almost eight so we played a different style. Game in bonus kind of divvied up the minutes a little bit. And i kinda notice that because it was like. Where's robert sam we haven't really heard robertson's name very much so yeah especially in a closer game when you've got guys that are that young. It's hard to put them out there. For extended periods of my argument would be what about andrea. Sixteen minutes and sixteen seconds will delay. Well if you're looking good it's not hard to put you back out there. I mean if you're playing good hockey you're going to get put back on the ice. It doesn't really matter Couple of stats about some of these stats. They look a little better than they did.

It's gonna be oh they don't meet for another month right to me. It's about making games matter because it is an eighty two game season and you gotta give me a reason to watch. Like i'm i'm probably gonna watch my own team. I'm gonna watch with great interest now. Because i'll have as much familiarity with the team. That's playing my team the sends. I'll have as much familiarity with the opponent and that's going to make things far far more interesting. I don't know why the nhl wouldn't want that not saying it's a perfect system. Sure i mean you decided to expand the way you did and your you're up At thirty one team soon to be thirty two with seattle next season. That's what you've chosen to do. Fine but i mean if you make it a hundred games hundred teams at some point you keep expanding at some point. You're going to have to try a narrow this down a little bit. You've got to make games matter. And i think that's the best way to do it. Familiarity establishing rivalry they. It was like listening to bill daily. In that quote sake you had.

Gretzky was playing on the other so everyone loved to go to those games wherever he came. You had the other thing steve that the reason rivalries were so big back in the day is because fighting was alive and well. Okay you could you. Could you know they. They had great great rivalry. The oilers thing you don't for for three reasons okay. Woman's gretz okay. One was fighting. Okay and the other one was steve. They were really good. Both teams were really good.

You know it's It is what it is but you know we made these adjustments and like you said out drafting makes it tough because there's so many players out there that And they're and they're still some on waivers currently because we're still you know we're still pretty stacked. Nobody's really lost significant amounts of players to covert or injury. Yet were we. We're in week three. Yeah and that was. That was the problem. Last season i think is our our roster size was huge. Saw bench was as big as our starting lineup. Pretty much and you could just stash people and this year. You can't so so much more important season two. Yes hundred percent. So yeah and okay so let's talk about. Let's talk about covert with sports. Jerry had a note in here in the Lie in the agenda for the show tonight. we do. we have. We're bullet points only. Oh yeah johnny. There's a note we need to talk about in here. Yeah you wrote it talking about the You know how how are championships. In cova times affected and should they be looked at a little differently. So we've had We've had the we've had the nba successfully get to a championship. We've had the world series After an abbreviated season we've had The nfl's in the playoffs now and You know hockey starting up. Nba starting up for season two starting in covert so. How do these champions owen. Tonight's the ncaa title game With a ovid reduced season as well as change the shape of college football because there were no non conference games and some you know some some mma conferences had like six seven games. I mean i think. Ncwa tonight's championship probably would have been a likely candidate. Even if it had been normal seasons the reason i brought it up though is because there are so many different dynamics now compared to a full see like the nba. they took. They took months off before getting going again right so there was teams where players were able to rest right. Nba now like the the lakers and all they had a short a very short period of time arrest. Now the start this season when you're dealing with that and and you're dealing with you don't have all your players all the time because some are uncovered protocols. It's another step of injuries. You're having these short and seasons. Schedules have been adjusted. I mean the nba. the six. The hornets played the sixers twice on the road. Like that's unheard of like that doesn't happen so scheduling is changed. There's all these different factors that a change in the seasons. And i'm not saying that if you win you should celebrate that you won but is it the same as like an nba full eighty two game grind and then the playoff grind is that the same is the nfl. Like you know the broncos on ramp for it but like you played the broncos and they had no quarterbacks like is that that that changed the dynamic of the season a little bit..

No Kemba Walker Spells Danger for the Celtics
"Me if the Celtics don't have a healthy Kemba Walker by February 1st during major trouble like making kiss. This is a good by going deep in the playoffs. They got no chance you lose Hayward and then you're going to lose Kemba I get you get Tristan Thompson's great as as a auxiliary. Peace, but I I don't think it gives you a much different than what Daniel theis does. He gives you a toughness it gives you a rebound and gives you an athletic hard work and forward, but but it's not like either one of those guys. You can't neither one of them are scores. No, but they don't need a score of their know if they you know, if they if they don't have Kemba, I don't have Kimber. Yeah, right. I know right? Well, that's that's my big issue is if you don't have Kimber Kemba needs to be he's gotta be your number two guy Tatum's clearly your number one now. I don't think anybody would argue with that. But Kim is gotta be your number too. And if they don't have him you go from Kim, but it's Jeff Teague. And again, we didn't see a healthy Kimball last year. We remember Kimba as man. He just wasn't very good in the postseason you forget Charlotte Kemba and if you have Charlotte came up to me, then this team has a chance to come out of the East without Charlotte Kemba. All right, so I agree with that but I still don't think they're disaster. I think there's still a good team good team. Are you better I mean if it were just trying to invalid and prorating how many W's with a truncated season if it were an eighty-two Game season, I'm Kemba Walker. Could be a 45 6:20. Yeah. Yeah, I would I would agree with that but looking at it now without camp for half the year. Let's say let's say he doesn't come back until February 1st. So he's going to miss 2 months of a 72 game schedule. So what's that a third of the year? No not too much six weeks because they're starting on the 23rd of December. Okay, so often so just so I don't have any, you know, the I mean, I don't want to start trying to do math in my head. That's so humorous five weeks five six weeks probably, you know before he gets a hundred percent. He maybe maybe too much but they're going to come back to schedule. So at least 15 games. I'm sure this is why the Jeff Teague signing was so important. Oh it was I was a terrific signing and if I can put him doing what he should you know, how long we know who he is, you know, we know what it is and he's it's a high quality of such a high-quality auxiliary piece. He's a very useful auxiliary teasing. You're right. If you're going to make him a if you want to elevate him into a starter and a guy to your depending on then that's a different matter. But using him the way he said they projected, you know, that was an excellent pick up, you know, so but let's go through Bob without without a healthy camera. Tell me if they're better than any of these teams. Okay with our healthy Kim but like like a 90% Kemba ready Milwaukee. No. Toronto No the Nets. We don't know probably find Miami now clearly not know we go down there. Yeah, Philadelphia Phillies a mystery guest now, we think they saw that they they've done what they need to do. We think. All right. Let's see but I cuz I thought it would suck. Yes. I mean, yeah, I think seven Indiana is better without Kemba. Okay. So you got you got one more to throw in the mix Home Improvement team, but you know as Atlanta they're going to read during pooped on paper. The good thing is the good thing is even without camera there probably a lot for the play-offs but they you're talking about seven problems. I agree. Well, that's you know now why that's true. So I think we can agree on

MLB's Next Steps and Minor League Crisis
"Is this Jeff Passan or is it jet passing? This is Jeff, Passan but Jeff Passan may actually have been right except like a week or so early. Maybe Jeff. Passan isn't. MLB INSIDER FOR ESPN jet passing. Is someone on social media pretending to be jeff who incorrectly tweeted last week that the league in players had reached an agreement. Jet Passan actually deemed me to apologize. That's actually really nice. It was. He's a he or she don't know. Let's not not all trolls don't know who who Jeff Passan's but jet said it was intended for my friends and I didn't realize ten thousand likes later. The as many people were going to see it. So, Jeff talks between the Union and the League of heated up as the clock is ticking down, there's been a lot of back and forth with you, reporting that the owners are preparing a new offer, but let's back up to last week when they before their last offer, which had huge pay cuts for the stars. The players soundly rejected it then on Sunday night. Mlb Pa submitted a counter proposal to the league. What did they ask for? In that deal was really the opposite of what the owners had proposed earlier in the week, MLB had proposed an eighty two game schedule with significant pay cuts that were on a gradient and grew larger for the players who are making more money. This was a total nonstarter for the players who have been sticking with this notion of having pro-rated salaries paid in full, so the players on Sunday came back with not just full pro rated salaries, but over one hundred fourteen games in a season that would run all the way through the end of October so that there would be a postseason in November which we have never seen before. It was. Not Quite as radical as the owners proposal was to the players, because it included things like potential deferrals and a little tiny, give back, and saying hey will have expanded playoffs through two thousand, twenty, one as well, but this was never going to be the type of proposal that the owners would consider. Let alone except. So, what are the owners counteroffer? Well, the owners having countered yet, but what they've done is they've discussed the possibility of going back into this March twenty sixth agreement that they have with the players and utilizing some of the language in there really as a Cudgel, this language essentially gives rob Manfred the commissioner, the right to make the schedule for the two thousand twenty season. Now it's after good faith discussion with the players, but it says that a schedule can be made, and it has to include economic feasibility it has include a health and safety. It has to really include all of. Of these different things that could make it viable in major league baseball's mind, the most viable way to pay players a full prorated salary that they desire is to do so over a schedule of about fifty games. Give or take a few, and that doesn't seem like a lot because it's not, but it's also the thing that is going to leverage these discussions in one of two ways Meena. It's either going to get baseball back on the field in two thousand twenty, or it's going to get baseball on a courtroom arguing over legal ease in over the enforceability of these provisions. So one hand they said all right. We'll go back to the pro rated salaries that you guys have been clamoring for that. You claimed we all agreed to back in March, but on the other hand we might end up playing significantly fewer games correct and the reason for that according to the owners. Is that every game that they play this year? They are going to lose money now. This is a contention with which the MLB Players Association vehemently disagrees, and it has been seeking out documentation to support this idea whether it's television contracts, sponsorship agreements projections internally from clubs on what their revenues would look like as well as what they would. Would have to pay out both to players to employees and two others. They're looking essentially Meena for receipts, and the League has yet to provide that sort of information, because well, that sort of information for a long time has been privileged and I think there are some teams that are afraid that if they give up too much information, it's going to give too much leverage to the players in the future to understand how the finances work exactly, and you know if you're a team. That's looking to make as much money as you can. You don't want the people who can take the most money from you knowing exactly what your hand

MLB's Plan to Save the 2020 Season
"Jeff you've been cleaned broadcasts. Can you say hello in Korean yet? I'm young hustle. Meena was good. It was good. Yeah the Right Energy. I felt Jeff. Passan is an MLB insider for ESPN. Yesterday the owners approved a proposal. That Commissioner Rob Manfred plans to present to the players today for a return to play scenario that aims to have baseball back by early July. What is in the plan? How about baseball starting on the fourth of July light? Can we get any more American and look? I think that's part of this whole thing. I think that baseball wants to capture this part of the American sporting landscape that has just been dreaming of sports coming back and typically baseball during its season is competing with the NBA playoffs and with the NHL Playoffs and then training camp starts in the NFL and college. Football are in full swing by the time. The playoffs come around. Baseball has a pretty open landscape here. Which is what I think. Partially driving this as it stands right now. The biggest and most important things are spring training 2.0. Starting in June season of eighty two games starts up in July and the biggest of all is the revenue split between the sides now. Baseball is not a cat sports. The only American team professional sport that does not have a salary cap and so the notion of revenue split has never been part of the financial landscape but what? Mlb is proposing in. This first pass is a fifty fifty revenue split that tries to mitigate the downside for owners who say they are bleeding because of the corona virus pandemic has wrought and because when they return in this proposal it would in major league stadiums in their cities. There will be no fans there so it's pretty obvious why they want to do this financially right and the players as well financially but there's also tremendous risk for the players. Their families pretty much. Everyone who's actually in and around the fields. What have the players said so far the players have been fairly silent? You know you haven't had anyone come out and say no. This is not going to work behind the scenes. However that's exactly what they said. They're saying that this fifty fifty split plan is a complete nonstarter and they're saying this for a couple of reasons. One of them is fundamental. The players have so long fought against the idea of a cap. Remember back in nineteen ninety four when there was a strike. Major League Baseball wanted to institute a salary cap. The players were willing to lose a season and a world series to avoid that but beyond that what buttresses their argument right now they believe is the agreement in March that was signed between the players and Mlb and in the players minds that says explicitly that if a season begins they will be paid a prorated salary based on the number of game so eighty two games. They're going to get about half of their salary. Mlb's contention is that in this agreement. There's something of poison pill which is a phrase bat says all of this is valid unless there are no fans in stadiums now. Mlb is arguing that that little claws at the beginning of the contract applies to players salaries. What the Union is saying? Is that if you wanted that to be. In the salary portion of the agreement you should have put it in their explicitly. And because it's not in their explicitly. It's not valid. What about from a public health perspective? How is this actually going to work? I think is as unanswered question at this point as the finances are and it's because there's really no clear good roadmap to how to do this right we've seen in other countries we've seen in Taiwan and in South Korea baseball comeback but those are also places that haven't had anywhere near is to spread of Corona virus as we have what they can try to do is make it as safe as possible. Teams are going to play Games only inside of their division and against the Inter League team in those division so for example American League East teams will play only American League East and National League East opponents. The hope there is that limiting travel. You can take bus rides from New York to Philadelphia our from Philadelphia Washington but in the central divisions for example that that's just not realistic. Those teams are going to be taking flights practically every time they have to play a game so between that and figuring out how much testing can be done. It's a huge part of this. In another reason Meena why the players are as emboldened as they are because they feel like. They're the ones taking all the risk here. The owners aren't going out from place to place going out in public staying in hotels traveling coming into contact with people who might be infected. They're going to be staying in the comfort of their homes. If they want. If players played do not have that choice. They get stayed home for half the time. They're going to be on the road the other half.

Would Michael Jordan Rule in Today's NBA?
"Kirk. So I I swear. I promise we're not here to debate. Mj versus Lebron. At least not until the end of the interview believe me I have my stance. It is locked and loaded. We'll get to that. I don't want to alienate half the audience before we begin so over the last few weeks. Those of us who have watched the last dance have borne witness to the greatness. That is Michael. Jordan and that greatness does inform the Lebron debate insofar as it has reminded us of how dominant Jordan was but of course he was playing a different era. Basketball was very different from how it is today which can make it hard to compare those two players or to evaluate how Jordan would fare in today's NBA. So let's start here and established that point of comparison. What was the league like Jordan came into it? Well Jordan came into the in nineteen eighty four and it was a very very different place. The best players in the League at that time or Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson Larry Bird bird again. Larry saying the crowd here. This is what came to see. Kareem abdul-jabbar was still really good Long story short meaning the the NBA was run by big men just as it had been since its entire district and eight of the ten highest play players by the time Jordan even retired centers Jordan was drafted in Nineteen eighty-four just to give you an idea dominant. How valuable centers were sixteen of the twenty previous? Mvp Award winners heading into the one thousand nine hundred four eighty five season worst centers so Jordan entered an MBA. That's fair to characterize as a centers -ly And obviously it's very very different than what we're describing here in twenty twenty. So how big of a deal was it? That the best player in the League Michael Jordan was a shooting dude. You can't overstate. How big of a deal. It was really weird. I mean magic had showed us that point guards could be great. Bird showed us the power forwards and shooting. Forwards could be great no. Mvp had ever come from the shooting. Guard position nobody had really ever dominated the leak or won championships from that position or in that way and again one of the main things the makes Michael Jordan's such a special character in NBA. History is that he deformed the various static of MBA greatness. disrupted to use the term from from Silicon Valley. What it meant and what it looked like to be. Nba superstar love deformed as a verb because it sort of implies that he bent the League to his own. Will he did that man? I mean he came in there and it was violent and it was beautiful and it was for the betterment of the future of the sport a couple of weeks ago. You're at a piece about why. Michael Jordan was such a transcendent score. Can you explain what it was that? Made that dominant so unusual. Yeah well it starts with the fact that he's a he's a guard and again to contextualize it against what was going on in the eighties. Nineties is is shooting guards in wings didn't dominate the NBA. We had the occasional superstar like Julius Irving. So I'm not GonNa say that he was the first star wing but he was a jump shooter. Long Story Short. He was a jump shooting guard. Who could attack the Rim and boy could he attack the rim? So the early part of Jordan's careers. Obviously marked by these highlight jump. Man Silhouettes the dump contest leap from the free throw line and Chicago. Stadium can picture that in our head along Dominique to Michael Jordan but by the end Meena Jordan would beat teams with just incredible mid range shooting And if a majority of buckets in the last dance season in that second repeat came off of the mid range jump shots that either came from post plays Dribble pull-ups quick stops just an endless array of mid range jumpers. Mj On the way away. Jumper and one scout told me a really stuck out is like I've been watching the last dance for eight hours now. I haven't seen the same move twice. It's not like he had to go to move over and over again. All those phase pretty close but man he he did it all but he did it in this area that we don't use very much anymore. Aka Amid Ridge and he's also very difficult shots right thinking about it this way. If you're going up against the Bulls in his nineteen ninety two or nineteen ninety-seven and year in opposing coach. Year number one objective is pretty clear If you can stop or slowdown Michael Jordan. You have a chance. If can't you don't So almost every night the Jordan played he would get the other teams best defender. And that person would WANNA play their best game of the year because everybody in their Rena was watching it and so he did. This eighty two games a year to put up the best sort of scoring numbers in the League against the best defensive performers in the league so you made a heat map for Jordan and then in the same story you made one for harden and you put them next to each other and trying to comparison it almost looks like urban and rural America right or like to to heat maps. That are just wildly different. Almost like people playing different sports one hundred percent in hardened deserves all the credit in the world for becoming the best score of this era but this era is dominated by sort of this moneyball dogma efficiency efficiency efficiency and when you look at James Harden shot signature. You see a guy who shoots near the hoop. He's great Basket attacking guard like Jordan But then away from the painting of the student only shoots threes. He avoids the Mid Range just like he avoids a shaving cream. And and then when you look at say Jordan you see almost the exact opposite remember that old image of Pan Jia and how the continent sort of fit together these two shots hearts kind of look like South America and Africa. Where Jordan is one shape all mid range and then a hardest jump shot activity is sort of surrounding that all three point airs. Jordan didn't shoot a lot of threes.

NBA Formally Proposes 78-Game Season, In-Season Tournament for 2021-22
"It has leaked out today. Brian both from Adrian margin asking and Shamsher Rania the NBA has sent teams proposal for the twenty one twenty two season so this is the one thousand nine hundred twenty season so this would be two seasons from now. I'm just going to go down the list. You tell me if it's a hard no something you would consider. Yes okay. Seventy eight game season down from eighty to absolutely yes. You're not worried I'm with you but you're not worried that it messes is with the integrity of the stats like that. I don't care okay. I don't care either. Baseball went basement. There's no gain that's more stat driven than baseball in terms of how we honor people in this. Whatever it's not always been one hundred sixty two games in baseball dave adjusted and the big worry is if you go to seventy eight games these well? What are you GonNa the revenue that you made from the other four games because all of us are paid based on an eighty two game season? Here's your answer. It's the second thing in in season tournament so roughly thirty five games into the season. You have a tournament and the players each get a million bucks if they win it in. The coach gets a million and a half in season tournament halfway through. What do you think stupid disagree? Here's why right now. All we're not even thirty five games in there are. How many games the Lakers your twenty-five before they played basically thirty twenty nine Would you agree with me that there are eight to ten teams that we already know. Aren't making the playoffs. Yes that are just dogs with fleas. Yes like the the Knicks. Yes okay. This gives their fans something a reason to watch something. Does it it though it does. I would want a game right until they are eliminated taking a step further. Bill Simmons wrote a proposal on the ringer where he said what you have to do with. This is because most players make so much money that a million dollars. They wouldn't even care about what you have to do. What they care about is making the playoffs and win the title? Let's say you win the tournament you should get credit for like five wins. That now makes it. Because here's the deal. The problem with it is win the tournament and you get a playoff spot instead of who the team that is. I don't like data. I need all because I'm just throwing that the that's you're you're basically getting the problem along with the only incentive incentives that you can really add our is money and that's what they're talking about basically the interest unless so you'd go the Simmons route and you say it helps you make the postseason. That's good for three games. Four games or whatever it might be and taking that at team and putting them into the playoffs over a team that gets you. You know that that that wins more over the entire sny seventieth season but you gotTa Watch Turnham. There's a wrinkle. That's coming where I could say. You combine idea to an idea three but the biggest problem right now is not that you can't get the players to care it's that you can't get the fans to care because okay great. The Lakers win the mid season tournament. So what like. Why do I care about at that? Mostly I'm concerned. I'm going to be watching this thing going. God I hope Anthony Davis doesn't get hurt. There is a way that you can maybe combined make this kind signed to work with the idea that you were saying before we get to idea three all right play in tournament for the seven and eight seeds in each conference this this I like I do too. I like this a lot. So maybe you take seven eight nine ten or seven eight nine. Make a round robin whatever might be right and you play that as a plan Dan. I love this idea because now you're talking about you know reason to care if you're an eighth seed or nine senior couple of games back like you know you still have a chainsaw. There's usually not much of a difference between eight and nine in terms of how good they are right and so I like the idea of extending it so those teams have report teams jockey to get to the six right and what. Oh you now want to do is if you wanted to say. It's a seven eight nine are part of this plan. Plus the winner of the Eh of mid season tournament. But what happens if it's not one of those teams like you know right. Well you'd have to play with it. I think you can take time. It's not going to matter and so I don't think I don't think it's a fan. I'M GONNA care about my team if it's good winning some pointless midseason tournament when really wanted to win a title and I'd be worried guys get hurt again matter. Well did he get hurt and practice. So here's what Adams's practicing to win the the thing at the end. Well here's what Adam silver is trying to duplicate. They do this in soccer all the time they play for a cup in the middle of the season and and it's fun fund. If you're a Laker fan what you want is you want to see your team play. So they're in this tournament. You're watching and you're GONNA watch and you're GONNA care but you're not going to be super deeply invested in the away to the playoffs and the differences if I'm not like a steep soccer guy but most of these things are are between leagues. It's like the Bundesliga team. Plays the Premier League team and Lalita. And it's like whatever you know. I forgot the name of these things. But like it's all of these great teams together playing against each other so you're the match ups that you wouldn't otherwise see. This is just another version of Lakers versus nuggets. I just I don't understand I don't think means more more though. It's just a regular season game if it's in the tournament I it unless you can incentivize it so it was actually has more meaning than that. I don't see. Yeah Simmons. Good are wondering about the last thing that the proposal that they sent to the teams final four when the teams get to the final four. You reseed in the play offs based based on regular season records. So if if the Lakers and the clippers battle for the Pacific Division. Let's say the Lakers went and the Lakers win. Sixty five games but the clippers finished second in one sixty four games. The Clippers then are not a division winner in that scenario. And let's say they have to play a a team from the Central Division that only one fifty five games right now. The reason the way it exists is the division winner. Has Home Court really. Yeah the clippers yet. The the clippers would would have to be the row team. This would reward you for a better regular season record regardless of your stand. Absolutely I agree. I'm Greg what do you think of all those. Are there. Any that jump out is good or bad to you. Know I'm good or bad. No I really liked the plane game to see love nothing. That's fantastic tastic I tend to actually agree with Brian on the NCAA tournament. Say like an like a weird is rising as many excellent points you know throughout my radio time right every once in a while but this is just one of those things like. Yeah I'm just because. Let's say the Lakers win win the mid season tournament right Willie no win the final. Like oh you're like Oh yeah. We won the midst. Congratulations on being the mid season tournament. Champion where the NBA finals champion. I mean anyth- so simmons the idea. Was You have a Russell Cup in a Chamberlain Cup okay. And in the Russell Cup you get the teams that have the fourteen best records okay Eh and in the Chamberlain Cup you have the

Basketball, Brian And Mahdi discussed on Dave Ramsey
"That maybe the n._b._a. wants to shorten the season it's pretty stuff happening today there formerly exploring how it might be a good idea in their opinion the seventy fifth anniversary of the season to test them bolder initiatives amid season cup postseason play internment reduction in the eighty two game regular season schedule trying to add games the n._b._a. like you know what we got too much this money we need to do yeah and you know brian wrote in on on our text line which by the way has gone down for me so i can't read died for me to so we'll we'll have that up in a minute five six nine zero he texted so one of these and they're not they don't wanna be called the governor's now one of these silly one of these win of the governors of these teams when are they going to be giving back money when when are they gonna be wanting to do that and not take money from concessions or take money from having their business open for those extra games that's a great question brian i don't really know but but i do know from competition level eighty two games in the n._b._a. they're not all created equal they're not and there's a whole nother season after the season ends and a lot of these guys are worn down there mahdi's get worn out pretty evident andrea vows helmets right about about coming back to fracture yeah and they're like and you know it gets painted in the media a little bit different way and if these guys don't come back in then they're basically of painted a soft like oh well he didn't he didn't really want in basketball's non context sport so people start to think that but no man your body gets worn down from doing that kind of stuff every night you know and some of these guys sure do right some of these guys like shacks the shacks career those last four years barely played the regular season but just show up for the second season the playoffs all you need it was a team to get to the play offs and then you you know you could draw some of these guys in so i don't think the eighty two games really add anything anything that could be decided in the n._b._a. can be decided to sixty
First Take
NBA: Who's the best of the East?
"Could. Very well be the best team in the east there, certainly one of the two, and that's a fifty fifty proposition the entire way definitively ready to pick the Toronto Raptors come out of these call me until then it means absolutely nothing to me. I respect the fact that the damn good team. And they've upgraded they've gotten better. But I'm not putting them ahead of the Celtics. And you know, the thing that makes me laugh right now, the blest is Celtics are like twenty fifth offensively. Do we really think that's gonna last kind of Europe is averaging sixteen point shooting eighteen percent from three boy rates? Do we really think this gonna laugh their leading score for the Boston Celtics right now, Jason Tatum seventeen and a half points. You really think that's gonna last? Jalen Brown, isn't even averaging in double digits. Do we really think that's going to last? Here's the reality the bullets that Celtics went to the Eastern Conference finals last year. And obviously they're right for the expectations. But not only do they have to implement kyri urban and Gordon Hayward back into the mix because they were both outlast. You did do. Gordon hayward? Having minutes restrictions. He's restricted to twenty five minutes or less. So we don't know what. This is no indication rather what Boston is going to look like as the season progresses when it's all said and done after eighty two games a plane and we walk into the playoffs. Come talk to me because I started the season saying Boston is going to the finals. And I'll say it again, if Boston does not go to the finals this season is a failure period, which that roster with that depth. If they don't go to the finals the season is a failure as good as the raptors all they are
