"pascal siakam" Discussed on The NBA Show
"Give me honest in the playoffs, give me jokic for MVP, especially because we say it's a regular season award. Conversely, I'm taking Rudy in the playoffs over Carl towns because this man can't play defense. He's okay. He can't play defense. Rob, stop it. He's okay. Defense. Do you think do you think you could put together a high quality NBA playoff level team with Carl towns playing defense the way he does? Under any context, I mean, we've seen teams win without incredible defenses. The Cleveland Cavaliers won with okay defensive personnel plus LeBron. I think under the right circumstances of Carlton. Okay, so 2016. I'm not saying I'm not saying you can win a championship with this guy without significant help. But could the wolves, if everything goes according to plan, if Anthony Edwards pops and becomes a star, could they make a conference final someday? I wouldn't write that possibility off. I would. And I just like Rudy better as a player just, you know, the stuff about what he does on offense. I think, you know, that stat that y'all never be named again. We don't need to go in that direction. I just think he's not something huge issue offensively. He makes his free throws decent enough. He has the freaking vertical gravity where you have to respect what he might be able to do as a lob threat. He just has enough offensively while also being a dominant defensive player with Carl townsman or defense. That shit is nasty. It's not a watch. It's not that bad. Well, it's just a minute, man. You love Rudy Gobert. If you have to put him on your ballot. You're moving the case for him. He's the first team center. Wow. First team all defensive center, I'm sorry, all NBA, this is where I get put the buckets. This is where I put offense. I can't do it for you, Rudy. But he wins something more special in your heart. All right, why don't we wrap this up with forwards here? Rob, you had LeBron as a 13 forward, right? Yeah, so LeBron is in there and Penn, that one's easy. The last one is tough. And for me, it is Jimmy Butler or Pascal siakam. I went with siakam and for me, it's these guys do functionally actually very similar things for their teams right now. Siakam is one of the highest usage ISO guys in the league. Jimmy Butler obviously has to carry a really big offensive load in terms of shot creation for the heat. But again, it's one of these cases where there's a pretty big differential in terms of how much they've played. I think Pascal has played like 600 something minutes more than butler, which is like 35% of butler's total minutes this season. That's hard to overcome if you're talking about comprehensive impact and ultimately I'm just swayed by how much the raptors have been able to rely on Pascal in a wide variety of roles and capacities on both sides of the floor. The combination of versatility and that go to effectiveness, I find that he's had a really good season. So I think this is where we get into some murky territory where you have to start parsing whether or not the absences were due to injuries or due to COVID outbreaks. And how much you even weigh both of those things against someone because butler is only played 55 games that if I recall that he had a particularly bad COVID outbreak, which kept a lot of their players out for longer, whereas Pascal had the injury. And so I'm almost like, do I really knock butler for something that's beyond his control and then you get into the weird thing where it's like, well, do I knock Pascal 'cause you got injured? It's not really his fault either. I ultimately went with butler because the heater better team. Yeah. They would be if we don't put butler on this list. They would be by far the best team without a representative, which is tough. I don't really subscribe to that like the heat need a guy in here. But it is hard to look at them in the standings and say, how did we not find room for somebody? Yeah, and the raptors have been pretty awesome of late. They're now in the 5th spot. Over the Chicago Bulls. And so to a certain extent, you have to recognize. If you're going to recognize demar Derozan's effect on winning in Chicago, you probably have to also say Pascal siakam has been pretty important there too. But I don't know. I think the sheer fact that the heat might win the east and they don't have a single player here is pretty tough to reconcile. It's tough, but you seem like a siakam skeptic. No. Look, I like Pascal. I just, to me, is Jimmy and demar Derozan for me. I just think, look, the isolation numbers are compelling. He's like, isn't he in like the top 5 in this positional category? Like, he's one of the most ISO heavy guys on the team that doesn't have a lot of shot creation and has to make their bones on defense and just scraping together good possessions. I just, to me, Jimmy's just, you know, objectively been a better player this season. He's been a better player. His whole life. And demar, like one of the coolest stories in the NBA this year. What he's done in the clutch, and I know he's cooled off recently, just again, some people might say his mid range shooting has been flukey this year. I don't know those things seem to be hitting the bottom of the freaking net. I'm not even touching anything more times than not. And the bulls have been such a great surprise this year. I gotta give it to damar and Jimmy Butler. But I don't think Pascal is, I don't find the notion to be absurd. You know, I think he's a deserving of consideration, but for me, no. And maybe, you know, maybe I'm a star fucker. You know, I tend to like my guys who do this all the time, man. I really do. Like I really, truly feel that way. Well, it hurts to pick this way because Jimmy is awesome. I just keep coming back to the fact that all year along with the heat, the questions have been, what is their half court offense going to look like in games that matter? What does it look like in the fourth quarter? Spoiler alert, not great, a lot of the time. And that's a team that has shooters, that's a team that has really good supporting players that's movement that has intelligent veterans,.

"pascal siakam" Discussed on The Garden Report | Boston Celtics Post Game Show from TD Garden
"The Celtics. So I'm not going to count this out, because if it's not displayed better defense and they'll have the home court. If they play Brooklyn, if they play Brooklyn, I still expect Celtics to win that series. No, I won't break it. We broke things. Give me Brooklyn. Guys. Beeping, beeping. If you hear beeping behind you, mute yourself. If you hear we can hear. If you can hear it, we can hear it. Bobby, Joe, just wages. Yeah. Just weighs like, I'm clean. All right, good. Bobby, you got anything for us from the 45. Question about his T-shirt or something and that was it. Oh, I don't know. What's going on down there? It's riveting. But I understand you. What were we talking about here? Who the Celtics should want to play or who we want them to play in the playoffs first round? All right, so on the Brooklyn thing, let them get out of the play and turn them in first before you worry about that. They lost a brutal game that Charlotte. They haven't been playing amazing since Kyrie got back full time there. So they got to get out of that tournament before you can be worried about them. I am worried about the two teams that I think they're more likely to line up against here and I know you guys mentioned them Milwaukee lost tonight so that kind of keeps him in play for a higher seed. But it looks like Chicago or Toronto. You're right about Toronto. I'm worried about both those teams. The Chicago's got a lot of firepower, even though they're not playing well. Those Derozan 50 bombs can get you as it did the clippers the other night. So you're worried about his isolation scoring. And with Toronto, they have so many guys that throw out the wings. I mean, you kind of saw a mini preview of it up there when the Celtics were sitting everybody, of course, but they're so disruptive. They're so aggressive on the offensive boards. The Celtics aren't a great defensive rebounding team now, especially without rob. And of course you know it's a tough place to play you in Toronto. So and you have the lingering vaccine questions, which we won't even get into because we're all just guessing there, but who knows what happens there. So that's a dangerous series for a bunch of different reasons. It's a team that's had Boston's number. We've certainly remembered that bubble series, and you have champions on that team. Pascal siakam was playing amazing redband fleet has had an all star season. That's a group that I don't think you want to mess with and especially without rob. You do have a size advantage on them, I'd say, and the interior that you can take advantage of and Toronto's offenses isn't very good. So I still think the expectation with the Celtics is to win a series. You should be beating no matter who the beating whoever you line up against fresh round and that's why the expectations..

"Okay, so as we're taping this, Miami's 48 and 28 Philly and Milwaukee are 46 and 28 playing tonight. The Celtics dropped to 47 and 29, there was a moment in Sunday, second quarter, Marcel and I taped we didn't know rob Williams was hurt. Second quarter Minnesota really brought it that game. Did you say you were you there at that game? I was working at the broadcast for NBC, but yeah, I was watching. Minnesota was into it. They wanted it, towns was talking shit. They were going at them and it was a pretty close first quarter and then the Celtics did what they always do lately. Completely demolished them in the second quarter. And I'm watching I'm going like, this team's going to make the finals. We are watching not to compare them to the Jordan Pippen grant bulls because they had Jordan obviously, but the same kind of like the athleticism, every shot can tested the fact that Tatum is so comfortable. I was just like, I really believe in this. And then rob Williams gets hurt. I mean, devastating. Like that second quarter against Minnesota. It's like they said to the wolves like, all right, we had a little bit of fun the first. You get scored 30 points. Here's 19 in the second quarter. We commit 7 turnovers in the first quarter. Here's one for the rest of the game. Like they just, it's like they toy with teams now. It's wild, but yes, like, I don't know how you recover from losing rob at least not a championship level. Like they'll still win a first round series. They can beat Chicago and they can be Cleveland and they can be a lot Toronto. They can beat a lot of teams without rob Williams, but when you get to like Milwaukee and Philadelphia and Miami and the top teams in the Eastern Conference, you're going to need that guy. Now I think they'll still compete for one of those top three seeds because like I assume that emea doke is going to plug Al Horford in at 5 where he played all last year in Oklahoma City, plug grant Williams in at four and used Daniel tice as the guy coming off the bench. Al and grants starting. They're still able to do what they do defensively. The bedrock of what they do defensively switching everything. That's what makes them so dangerous that one can guard 5 and 5 ten guard one. And everybody in between can mix and match. They'll still be able to do that because Al can switch grants really good. Yeah. He's not going to win most improved, but he should be on a list somewhere. He's really become a excellent. He's an excellent player for this team. So they'll be fine there. It's just, you know, I watched the Monday night game. And Pascal siakam, they're treating Pascal siakam like he's Russell Westbrook out there. They're playing like the shell in the paint. And they're daring siakam to shoot. And he's just driving right into the middle of them. And not once, not once. Did siakam put his head up. If rob Williams is there, siakam's heads up. Siakam is looking around to see where rob Williams is, and if he's going to block his shot. They scored 66 points in the paint. Toronto did. That's going to become a problem for the Celtics. Because rob, he's one of like a handful of guys like Rudy Gobert on that list and beads on that list. When he's in the game, you got to account for him. And the Celtics don't have anybody that can replace that. On top of that, when you start to play the physical teams, like the miamis and the Milwaukee's and the Philadelphia's. Someone's getting to follow trouble there. And there's nobody else on that bench. You got three guys. Now in your front court without grant and tice. There's nobody else. You're going to have to play small ball and start to reinvent yourself a little bit. If these guys get into foul trouble, move Jalen back up into a four spot kind of roll. So they're going to change. And I don't think that change is going to really hit them until they get to the second round of the playoffs. Yeah, that thing they lose is the invincibility. Because as you said, they were so malleable with the different lineups. That was what I loved about this team. They could really play any style. Who are we playing today? All right, we can do that. In the white, even though white hasn't shot it that well, at least he allowed them to finally go small..

"It is important to him to be with one team for his whole career. And whether that remains true or not, we don't know. But I think he's going to sign this extension and it feels like a no brainer. It's a lot of money. It's fantastic for him and his family. Yeah. And I think they're going to have a year kind of figure that out. So it's important for the wizards to push for that play in game. For this reason. So yeah, and I also porzingis is just better than the guys that got rid of. Yes. He is. He's much better than montrez harrell, for instance. He's definitely much better than the version of Spencer Dinwiddie that they had for a while. And losing jobs Bert Hansen Dinwiddie is probably addition by some traction on some level. Just given the way that Dinwiddie was playing this year, unfortunately. Porzingis is gonna make their defense better. He should improve their offense. I mean, I'm assuming he's gonna be the focal point. And we've seen that before. So he will put up some decent numbers as long as he's healthy and out there. I mean, the caveat to all of these things. But I do think that the wizards just stand a better chance than Charlotte of being in that race. Because they're neck and neck. And it's just so close and Charlotte's defense is just. I don't mind this. This is a fun take. Yeah. Okay. I'm in. I like this one. Man, I'm really focused on the plan. That's like, I love it. Well, I'm going to the play in next. My last one is one that is a downer for me. This has been my favorite team to watch in the NBA this year. I'm very sad about it. I'm disappointed that I have to say this and I don't have to say it, but this is where I'm at on this scene. And it's because of the other teams that are coming, not because of them. Sure. I love the Cleveland Cavaliers. I love this team. I think they end up as a play in team. I think they end up as a playing team. There are four great knife in my heart. I know, and it would make me sad. I think they make the playoffs. I think that they win the plan tournament and they have a great tough series in the first round against whoever they play. They could win that first round series even. Like all of these themes in the east are so tight. I think that they end up in the play in tournament. I think the Toronto is coming, Pascal siakam is playing unbelievable basketball right now. I almost is a one of my bold predictions was almost that Pascal siakam goes from not making the all star team to making the all NBA team. That was a serious thought that I had. He's been incredible. Yes. You know what has been, here's my last take. Just to battle your take. Cleveland's gonna win the east. They're gonna be the one seat. Look at their schedule the rest of the way. I love it. Let's do it. So you're getting bump. For Jared Allen, Garland, they've had a levert and he has proved to be that piece that they needed. They needed a guy who could generate a shot. Yep. And now I think he will do it more efficiently as he becomes accustomed to what they do. There are only two and a half games out of the one spot. They've played a lot of their tough opponents. They've already played Milwaukee three times. They played the bulls a few times. Yeah, how about that? Cleveland. Their first few games coming out of all star break..

"Don't. If that, if the answer to that is no, you stay entirely away from this. Look, I think under because if Joel embiid misses 30 games, this is so many ways that goes wrong, but you also can see how betting the under would lead to financial ruin. Yeah, I would not feel good about betting the under here. But I would if making a pics, I'm going on here. The Toronto Raptors are up next. I'm going under here too. 35 and a half Sam? It's so low. It's so low. This is Toronto. Back in Toronto? So there's every reason to go over on this number. Every reason. Back in Toronto, really good coach. Comet and point guard who's like is unflappable. Good, long team that knows how to defend. Team that plays hard. Like every night. 35 and 47 sounds about right to me. So here's why. Please worse center position in the NBA still. Right? It's bad. Like we don't think they're gonna protect the ram at all. Pascal siakam is going to miss time. He tore his labrum and just got surgery in June. So he is going to miss 5 months. I think that a reasonable production as he misses 2025 games this year. Yeah. So you're talking about a team without the best player. When he's out of Fred vanvleet, OGN precious the true malachi Flynn, Scotty Barnes, Ken burch will be in the lineup for sure. Goran dragach, like we don't know what's going to happen with draggage, really? Yeah. Maybe we can get something more of? I don't know, maybe not. If Gary Trent obviously, I'm sorry I didn't mention gerrymandering. That's good. But buckets. I, without siakam, this is a bad team. Yeah. I just like, I have a hard time believing they're going to be bad again back to back seasons, but you might be right. I still think I'm a lean over. But it's certainly not going on the card. Yeah. You make some strong points. I think my thing is like ventilate and Gary Trent can score as backward duo. I like that a lot offensively. And family defense is a good point of attack defender. A bigger, I'm a big OG guy. Like him a lot. I agree about the center position. I like Chris Boucher, just like as a person. But and I think he can do some fun things as a player but he's not a guy that you want as you're starting center. Yeah, he's a great backup center. He's a great pace. Spark plug because he'll block some he'll block a bunch of shots and he'll shoot the hell out of the ball and you don't want him playing team defense for 30 minutes. Right, you kind of want him to feel free to roam for 18 and do his thing. A lot of it does come down to like what the dragged thing is..
NBA Front Office w/ Keith Smith & Trevor Lane
"pascal siakam" Discussed on NBA Front Office w/ Keith Smith & Trevor Lane
"And we'll see, you know, there was so much hype on him coming into the NBA. I remember this was a big deal. Him coming into the NBA draft. He never really hit in the NBA at this point, but still intriguing, got the size and the handle and all that kind of stuff. So we'll see what he can do with the Houston Rockets. Plenty of opportunities there, but definitely a team in transition as well. Yeah, again, another team. They don't have a roster. So not entirely sure where that one's going to go either. Now they've got guys. They can wave to bring action in on the 20 man roster, but it's getting them out of that 15 man roster. It sounds like the deal is going to be very incentive. For Exxon, my guess is the guy who probably goes if this comes to fruition, is probably Kyrie Thomas, who they signed the late last season to a multiyear deal, but he's on a non guaranteed contract, and the idea with excellent would be now we've got enough point our depth because they're committed to playing Kevin Porter at the one quite a bit. They've also got DJ Augustine still there and then Dante axum would come in as the third guy. And then John wall, but we know what that situation is as we talked in depth. But yeah, it sounds like this one's going to be very similar to what the rockets did with Manet a few years back where the number is going to be like, wow, that number is big. And then does he actually hit those incentives or not? That's going to be what ultimately will determine. If the contract comes in, where was that? But yeah, I think people forget too. He was on his second deal already because he had signed an extension previous. So he's by no means old, but he's also not a 20 year old kid anymore. He's just been out of sight out of mind for a couple years now. And lastly, jumping from Dante exams, Olympic performance to Team USA. Yeah. They're going to have a new coach before the start of the NBA season fresh off of winning a gold medal. Do you have anybody in mind that you think would be would be a good candidate for Team USA at this point? Yeah, it was for a long time, the rumor was that it was going to be Brad Stevens, was going to be the one who was going to take over Team USA. I think now in his new job, that's not going to be the case. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Steve Kerr, maybe gets elevated to that job. There's been some rumor of potentially maybe Jeff van Gundy, who is coached Team USA through several of the qualifying cycles and was a big part of just getting the team into the Olympics because that was big and into the World Cup and those kind of things. But the other names that were mentioned guys who have USA basketball experience are exposed to a Tom thibodeau Monte Williams name McMillan Doc Rivers, Lloyd Pierre, as well as Steve Kerr and Jeff van Gundy. That was from Grant Hill mentioned to some of those things. Grant Hill is now in charge of USA basketball. He took over for Jerry colangelo and his running thing. So he basically wants somebody who comes in, understands their regular season game, but can manage the guys..

"Easy. you know. And people can make assumption olo. That guy was a lottery pick already or he was a superstar. Will you gotta deliver for those guys to. The expectations are greater as well. So i give a lot of credit to those agents or even those guys make the transition to the front office and and and i say in some ways those guys are better prepared not taking away from the front office exacts that haven't been agents but you're every day your dill dealt with the circumstances that you didn't know was coming the day before right because ten percent you know if i'm looking at my business and my role you know. Ten percent of it is by contract negotiations. The other ninety percent are managing and managing the curve balls. That no one see. If if i'm doing a good job managing the curve balls at nobody's reading about or no one else seemed you know and you know that's it so in some ways i like i said i am not. I can't say how ride ridesharing. But i'm on when i see them. I pay my respect and acknowledge the work that they're doing and and want them to be successful. I there's everybody. Yeah that's i mean. That's obvious i believe that to be true. I also think that's why you know. I'm sure you champion your own kind of young guys right. There's there's playing You mentioned your own firm. How hard is that your own your own. It's extremely hard. The is extremely hard. Especially for me when i when i went back after i left in two dozen teen. I didn't have a marquee client to i. Guess you could say to sh- to us to gain other clients so for me. I had to change my approach to the business to identify under-valued talent that i could develop into those players that i thought that could be very successful so when i left in thirteen i had to in two thousand fifteen had kevon looney on even norman powell on that. I got drafted followed by the next year. Sixteen bass gal siaka optic martin. Todd is a client. Seventeen thomas bryan and then just kinda just continued to build on momentum. But at the time if you look back in hindsight like those guys weren't market is the lot in their player development notches in the pre-draft process but every off-season to help get them to where they're at in terms of their second contracts. Also again falling back on your relationship trike on looney at ucla. A place that you've played and of course he gets drafted by. Bob myers a guy who went to ucla. And you work with the firm by. This doesn't mean that there's anything illicit businesses business. It's about relationships and who you know. And if you're telling bob Dick and play like you know that's different than aging. He doesn't have a long standing relationship with our understanding. Is that a fair way to look at it. I think it's fair. But you know bobby. Regardless a relationship bob is. Obviously this is the as in the run and Kvant fell in the draft boot for for medical reasons. You know it's me saying to bob. But i think he's not in the moment of drafting kvant as much as him thinking about the relationship long-term because of our dynamic because bob is going to have to pick the best player for the golden state warriors and not because i'm his the player's agent but because that's the best talent available so in some ways it works hand in hand. But you know i like to think the my relationship with any team is. I'm not. I'm not one of the bullshit i'm just gonna tell it how it is and i and i love that process because i guess through experience whether again josh primo. I could call it team. When he's projected in the second round and say guys look like pascal or lack of thomas bryner devan. Where i'm telling you guys the talent that i'm seeing and you guys know what i'm gonna do. This kid is going to be a superstar and the ones i believe. Believe in the ones that don't remind them in the future when i have a next player their satisfaction. That's the chip on my shoulder dog. And maybe that's a former athlete. Amuse like i told you so so you don't believe me i'll do it again. I i had a my. Tv and radio agent For five or six years my second agent was getting nick con. Nick now runs. Wwe right then he was. He was very powerful. Brilliant guy. Nick used to tell me all the time like being an agent is a young man's job. It's grinders job fifty fifties about kind of the cuddle. Okay junior early forties. You've been really successful. What is what are your thoughts on the next five ten years for you personally. You know. i'm always thinking win. You know it's continuing to help adult my current rosser clients. Hello groom the next generation of agents that are working with me. Because that's a that's a big part of my I guess my ethos businesses. I is not just helping my clients grow. It's helping the people that are working for me or working alongside me. Grow greater satisfaction. And you know whether in my company or you know you know help them grow their wings to where they're an executive somewhere else in having tremendous success like i value that for me next eight to ten years. It's just see what the industry evolves into look. I being introduced you know. I'm very big into sports. Science in investments in sports signs for athletes I think would technology. That's going to impact. Our industry tremendously like it has every other sector of business and finance and other areas so for me the the satisfaction i get honestly doug is not going along with the status quo of how things have always been is like. How can i disrupt a business. That people say is not scalable from a business perspective. Because it's the service business. But how can i introduce new technologies in a way that we've never seen before because quite frankly the businesses been done the same way from agents the last forty or fifty years starting with mccormick. And i'm g to where now if you're i think wise and in And diligent about the technologies that you could integrate for clients in their development off the court in terms of sport signs that also now we represent them. I think you know they can be interesting for the future. Because if you're not adding value to your clients now because we haven't talked about like look at the contracts these guys are signing right steph curry side. I think tools seven on an extension over four years with the new meteorites. Deal coming in in twenty four twenty five expiration seventy five billion dollars to current deals twenty four billion and if we go back to win that inflex money came in we saw the level of contracts how that was impacted right seventy five billion three times more. I did some projections rookie. Josh primo could be eligible to sign probably an extension as a twenty one year old between two hundred fifty three hundred twenty five million dollars the pay.

"What does he do. Well and then the other component in doug. Here's the thing is you. You would not have thought. I was crazy if you're in the gym everyday watching him like i am so you have a basketball pedigree as well. That's the big thing that people forget is i'm in the gym everyday watching the development of my guys doing my calls. I how you all right now in the gym soul. I'm watching the censure of their development. So it's by the end of the summer three months if i'm watching. Pascal compete at a high level against paul. George lebron or chris. Polar james harden those guys. I'm starting to you know in here. Shot away hearing them. Talk about pascal. It's easy for me to know where what direction my guys going in terms of his development. But if you're outside looking in saying all this is from new mexico state or you know. I don't know this guy. I've seen him play once. I don't know but you're not seeing his biz development. Then i could see how somebody may think i'm crazy or bias to my client opposed to actually seeing where there are what. What is you know your role your so you. I mean look one of the one of the sales wrong. Is you have a great strong relationship with your class. It's a partnership it's a friendship. It's more than just a on the get your next deal right okay. So pascal. Struggles in the playoffs might. Here's a young guy. It's the highest level of the nba is different. What what's that like for you to deal knowing what he has in them but also knowing the reality of inflatables as he as he can as the agent but also the partner in the friend. What is that. Experience is being honest. I gotta be honest with them and it's also bring in You know some other stories or examples of other players because every all great players go through adversity every single one. We can't name one. That didn't struggle at some point on their path to maybe be taking it up a notch to greatness and having that level of consistency even lebron not saying pascal is is lebron. But lebron's gone through it or steph has gone through all the great players go through it. It's how they handle that adversity and come out on the other side so for me having those conversations with pascal. It's not sugar. Golden it is like hey you need to get your rest or let's go get some extra reps in or this is all part of the process gets okay. Let's get back to work in the off season so it's not an actually not just saying things but backing it up as an agent with a plan of action for them to take to get better but it's never Hey it's everybody else's fault or you're the victim. Xyz it's like no. Let's look at it from all angles understand this business and what it is this understand what your role is. Pascal path is is is unconventional one. If we look at it from nba all star standards of his. This wasn't a guy that supposed to be an also. He came out of nowhere so him being thrust into a leadership role as all-star max player. That's all new to him. He's the youngest of six right so we understand family dynamics is well. He's learning and being more comfortable in the skin in terms of leadership role so it's it's literally coaching them through that. It's talking to the team and management in some cases even make nurse about those things to bring it to his attention. And then you know. It's a partnership with the team. Understanding his success is a team success. Pascal gal successes what was my own so for me. it's again. I always say relationships outside looking in could be contentious or you can look at as apart as a partnership in and make it make sense so that both sides benefit you know whatever it is whatever it is in terms of outcomes we want turn here magog law school. You know probably skipped a step that even you'd want to skip starting with barron before you finish doing what you wanna do but if somebody wants to be you what why. Would you like a college basketball player out. There was like i love this game. I love the sport. What what would you. What would you recommend to them as the first step in trying to see if they like the process of being niche they would recommend a credible internship with credible firm because we're all judged by a resume And you wanna learn and big those good habits or see great agent sat word to understand their habits or what. It entails oftentimes. I've young people reach out to me and says you know have said. Hey i've intern year. I've worked in sports. And then i say where in may not have been a credible firm which i know they may not a big a great habits in terms of what it takes to be an agent. I think most people get confused now that hey if i have a player i can just go get certified and i know how to be an agent rahman age like this is disrespectful to be honest with you. There's an art and a There's a there's an art or to be in an age of for one understanding the business and what it entails and then You want to surround yourself with great people that have had success being an agent because we're fiduciaries of our clients You mentioned rob or you. Are you mentioned arn. Leon rose now running achieve like is that is that the dream is that the goal is there any part of you that says i love what i'm doing but man i would love to run a team and rebuild subject on naturally a builder. I'm running my own company. Is that opportunity presented itself. I would. I would look at it. Obviously my clients are family for me. So it's a conversation. I would have had with them as well and my family. But i mean that could always be interesting because i don't know about you dug in terms of growing up as an as an athlete. It's like i love being a part of a team like there's nothing better than that you know you know having Colleagues or having you know associates or people that you're looking in the same direction building towards you know at least in sports building towards the championship so that aspect always intrigues. Me for me on the company side is the same thing as i as building towards our clients Personal success or in some ways we're even sharing in the championships. Even as reason for me with paschal or even come on. Looney i now. Here's the here's the you met your honesty. Do you cheer for other agents to succeed because like if they succeed that means a this is a good plan or did not want agents. It's eight i. What's what's the experience like of watching other people who've done what you've done flaking off at an incredible success. Rob's had success won a title. Cheer for those guys Because that allows maybe that path opened up for you. I wouldn't necessarily say cheer but there's a tremendous amount of respect. I have because conversations. Come up sometimes. Were people are critical of other agents and their worker even their transition. And i'm i'll be protective of other agents or other guys because a lot of again a lot of people don't understand what goes into our jobs and for an agent have success for extended period of time especially Managing a high level talent. It's not.

It's hard to okay so so you get done playing and you decide to go to law school. What is what was. Where'd you go law school. What was that experience. So it was all You know it's funny. It was all happening at the same time. So just gotta recap so wasserman was not an existent existence. Talent associates was the precursor right even before he was an armed soldiers cumbrian s. effects and join. David faulk. I was there through all of that when i was working there as an intern for three years. By the time. By the time. I'm going into my senior year. I had actually an extra year of eligibility i had shoulder surgery and i did not wanna play out my fifth year so i actually left took nine classes of summer school to graduate on quicker while my scholarship still lasted and one class in fall so i started working a fulltime as i'm going to class to get ready for law school so because every agent at orange practice would did the same thing. Bob myers there. Bob was at loyal right working while working for orn to them. Become an agent. Joe wolf all age rob pelinka was there. He was already an attorney and in law school. We were loaded warranty. Gary was there. Aren't him. Bob myers rob pelinka bad. Fouche and neil. O'shea was doing the pre-draft pre-draft with tim burgers. So yeah five guys running.

My client has more of a partner. We just got a partnership you got a blueprint as you call it. And i was there to execute. How did he. It felt like he was always cash warning. This really close right. How did he always seem to have this. Like plant like the. Here's a dude by grandma. South central la right but he always seemed to have a plan. Wanna do movies entertainment. Not just enough. Blessed as an amazing basketball player was at you and him he had already established. Where did that come from a barren already. He always had that. I think that's barons. You know lens. Perspective on the world. Growing up in in south central and then go into crossroads in santa monica barry barrett is a phenomenal. One as a trendsetter doug. But he's i tell.

Even running my own agency and rupp continuer represent players caches serial entrepreneurs so barron. His always just been good at identifying. You know talented. Young people as he's progress in his career that have moved onto you know if they're not working alongside him moved on to bigger and even greater things so and that's that's a talent in itself. I think it's just like it's no different than to be to be a gm to be a coach to be agent. You gotta be able to evaluate talent and see okay in two years. This is going to be this with the reich know putting the right position. it's an amazing gift out represent. Who's your second club. Trevor rees of the following year. You know trevor was Was eighteen coming out of ucla. Average twelve and seven on known anticipated and leaving. He was gonna leave. I ended up representing trevor. Getting them drafted to the next was. What was that like Great trevor was draped. Trevor and i are still friends now. It was. I tell you man. We were fearless. It was kinda crazy. I look back like. What the hell were we doing. Because we don't like you're using we're using common sensor for me. It's like trial and error. But we rico hines who's still a best friend of mine who's one of the best player development coaches he put over through player development for the draft process and trevor ends up playing extremely well in in the la summer league at the time. This is precursor vegas. And you know isaiah thomas still come Is a funny story. I still laugh about with isaiah. My first contract negotiation was was interesting. Because i was completely prep for it. But you're not proud for isaiah thomas or somebody that you you. You grew up in la in the eighties like he was awesome. I hate him and he has is the guys that are the starts in. You know this like we've been around the guys that they haven't aura to them. They just do they haven't or okay so you still with them none. I won't. I sat down with them. I think i was tested me. This summer league and zeta asked to meet me at the four seasons in beverly hills but not at like nine. Am or ten am seven am because isaiah new. I was young. So let's say. I think it was a test. Let's see if this guy shows up on time. there. I think price six forty five. Am is mom Was there with them. Initially and then we sit down and talk but the funny thing is always say. There's negotiations to strengthen members right if you and i are negotiating against each other dug in this you by yourself and i have two other people with me attorneys and other experienced people strength naturally in numbers so in that negotiation We started the talks in la. He goes back to new york and now they have. The you know the lead counsel for the knicks and they have me on speaker phone negotiated. Which which was I sit back and think about that. Conversation there was some curveballs thrown at me. I handled but more more than anything intimidation tactics. Think i held my own. At least.

"Think like hey agent agents but my my it five. My i would say the going into my sophomore year. Actually no i take that back. Doug if i had to. Revisit was probably my sophomore year. I ended up starting but we have the number one glass coming in ninety seven ninety eight followed by another number one recruiting class matt barnes. Doron rush rayong dan gazza restore musso. I mean they were loaded dudes so coming in. Put it in all that works starting for a game or two and then not seen the court until the end of my sophomore year in like sporadic minutes. It was i house a reality check. You know i've thought about transferring and everything. But i was. You know what why am transfer. Yeah i can play but getting this degree from ucla. In southern california. And i knew. I wanna go to grad school so at the end that sophomore years when i started working for telling bearing left gone parole all the ucla guys were assigning our and at the time which was development associates and that my segue into the business at nineteen. I get so many thanks. Gosh there's so much. Okay i would make i make the case bearing tours. Acl on a filthy crossover. Dunks on dude in in the german I know we were in the same region. I i saw a i think we're sought and The w was still. I've never seen somebody turned their. Aco on a more nasty play than that. That was i tell people all the time. It was only landed or when he jumped he jumped so high. Doug and i was looking down the court. He jumped so high. His head was at the rim. I level he'd pulled himself up with his momentum. I don't think bear nuha high was so was on the landing. You put all that way. All his waited on one One blade when he landed in. That's what made pops wasn't it interesting. He doesn't like me. I still don't know why haven't ever had left chop it up at some point time interesting because my because my my dad was like when i because at the year before he when he was a senior i was sitting out after treasuries notre dame and they basically look we get baron. We're gonna take baron. And if not and i was like people second choice georgia tech second choice kansas. I was somewhere down the line. Whatever anyway by. I was like look. That's the best high school point guard i've ever seen used to jilani gardner used to be the guy that he thought was the next man johnson and then he was like barons the best. I've ever seen He still had a very very good career. What would he have been like had he not doug i think baroness who is such if you really revisit that you know in our generation ninety nine when he tore ninety eight when he toured now is still at a time. When the acl surgery like the procedure it could go either way like it was like now. We're entrepreneurs and you come back stronger so we were right. There were like barron tears in march. He was back playing by the end of that same year. That's the type of a freaky was a lot of people. Don't know this i- koby would come to our practices. The following year barren wasn't clear to play him and kobe play. One on one on the sideline and bairns wearing this huge knee. Brace so i don't honestly if he if he doesn't tear it. I think he's still the same player. Maybe maybe he's the number one player because maybe we could go on and in march but that sophomore year he comes back and he's healthy. You know and he was a highlight. Reel still goes number three well. Would i feel if you remember is first game back against us. I got around the game. Time whatever and he walked into a technical foul but he wasn't he wasn't moving right. Yeah you still have any of that. Brace that december right november december. At if you think about that. That's only eight months after the injury nine months or yet crazy crazy even in today's standards. I'm thomas tourism l. and eleven twelve months until they're you know he's fully back is what they're doing. Don't tell you that. I tore my like two months ago. I just got my surgery weeks ago. Mega dual to make a real comfort. My goal is the goal is to play basketball and tennis next summer. That's my my personal personnel. Okay so so you're in your mind. You're like i mean between arn tellem and i don't know how big wasserman was at at that time as well like you're in l. a. Ucla basketball super hot. Would you start. Interning during your. Here's here's here's a question. Why do you think why do you think more guys don't have the mentality or the understanding or maybe the value of that degree. I understand and respect that the best of the best. You're gonna make so much money for an nba player. But i just guys bounced around schools. Now and it's like there's there's a couple parts to it there's one there's the degree but there's two there's the connection you make with the university and you don't you don't get that as a as a grad and the place you leave you're not really an alum of and the place you go to. You're not really looked at your there for six seven months. That ain't ain't your school. You know so. I mean i was lucky like oklahoma state by school snow today. Dame i love notre dame i would love to have and the reas- resigned went. There is the connections subway lumps. I thought i'd love to play. If i can't play i'd love to broadcast or coach all of or being business and all that notre dame's unbelievable connection of of alums. But but i don't. I don't really understand why so many so many even even professional athletes don't tell kids like hey look at todd's app and todd's understanding of it that it meant maybe not even being an agent but using the value of that degree the connections at a university in order to propel you for the rest of your life so this is purely a theory right because by policies is different from our generation. Because we're getting older. We're we're gonna be be old timers pretty soon right. The mentality of us playing it was pure and not saying is not pure for all the guys now but it was sports. It wasn't entertainment now. It's much more synonymous with entertainment. So i'm not. I'm not an entertainment agent or represent any actors actresses or or even musicians for that matter. But what i can imagine is how many of them went to college as well before they started acting. And my point being is like athletes now their goal is to become a pro. So the quickest path to becoming a pro. It's not having a relationship with the university or going there for four. It's just different in my opinion a different way of thinking than how we thought because you weren't a one and done back then made to done now. Is that was quick staff baron. You usually went three or four years right even michael jordan three years. You know magic bird like all these guys that were even before us. It wasn't the one in don or even now having the you know the g. league ignite program were overtime like that wasn't there. I understand that everyone's story is differ by totally respect that guy and so when you say is it the right mentality the wrong mentality. You're going to get people that let's.

When he jumped he jumped so high. Duggan i was looking down the court. He jumped so high is head was at the rim i level. He pulled himself up with his momentum. I don't think bear nuha high was so it was on the landed. He put all that way. always waited on one One leg when he landed in. That's what made a pops. It wasn't interested. He doesn't like me.

When the acl surgery like the procedure it could go either way like it wasn't like our endre present. You come back stronger so we were right. There were like you know barron tears it.

Top one hundred. I ended up locking on. Because i got turned down some other schools like that. Was my dream plows competitive. I thought i could walk on a scholarship. Which i did and i just wanted to be part of a special class with that class out of southern california. I think we can argue. Ninety seven. might have been one of the most talented glasses in southern california right chris. Burge's baron davis say cotton. Kenny brunner The collins twins you you go back to. I think it's there was a class with tracy. Murray mclean i think that was sean. Mills was net classes. Well who else was who also said that.

The time we're checking in is when all that all that happened in inherit was no longer there. Romar had left and labs head coach so they capone.

His sister worked in the basketball office. And the herrick son. Sold him as like chevy blazer like i don't even and and it was front page the la times and really was a bunch of other little stuff then like down the expense report steel and think.

"Godly and this is all ball Quick note we are going to have a summer league. Recap all for you coming up. I have a litany of really good and interesting guests and You know we've we've diverged at some point from all these basketball. We had marie. If you missed all three parts of that. That was pretty amazing stuff this week. All i think you're really gonna like because i love interesting. Brilliant people and i really like people that love the sport that you love but also sometimes you're not good enough to always play it right but you can still find an incredible career in tara. Tara sars amazing story son of immigrants. He grew up for the most part in Enor- california he'll tell you what. Noriko was like forty years ago but he grew up in like kinda farm country. Just outside of los angeles really the near chino hills with the ball brothers. Br grew up and became a very good basketball player. But even though he had good grades wasn't recruited a high level walked on. Ucla gotta scholar. I'll give away the whole story anyway. how you become the youngest agent in nba history. Ah how did he wear the relationships come from. What are his thoughts agents running teams. What's it like to get fired as a representative of a player. All of that stuff is in here. Plus some some awesome stories about playing basketball at ucla. All right. I think you'll like it by the way. If you like my stuff you can. The dugout live show daily three to six eastern twelve three pacific on the iheartradio app or on fox sports radio dot com or you can also download that podcast at your at your discretion without further. Do here's superstar agent. Dr ramos are tavlin. You became a certified age twenty four years old which sounds really young but i mean one of the things. That's interesting basketball. I was really young when you graduate. High school iskoe back enor- now for people who don't know nor really close hills but again we're talking about dork go twenty years outplay. Five thirty years he'll even now. You're driving noriko and says horse country. Us that how does an immigrant family. The west indies hedge. Make it to i. Have an older brother died. He was born in new york. My parents my parents are from two different countries. Haiti in british guyana. So they met in new york. My dad was in the telephone company. My mother was an n and my dad got a transfer request from the telephone company. So as either florida or california. And i just found out recently from my mom. She had dreams california's he had never been so sight unseen she's like we're going to california so we ended up in. I was born in fullerton. We ended up being osborne in an orange county. Lived in orange county till pobably right before i was two years old and then we moved. We moved to noriko. Nineteen thousand nine hundred thousand nine hundred eighty one so as you mentioned it. Would you be in from tusk. Doug you know. Even anaheim hills that whole corridor area. Wasn't wh what it is now or even twenty years ago. This is you know forty years ago almost so it was more far. You know farmland cattle more of a mid westfield at anything else so so your love for basketball because you played football and you're none of study. Football early on in high school was because your your brother played like what what drew you to basketball is. My is my older brother. You know i got drawn a football because of my older cousin who was eight years older than me. This is back when inland empire didn't have too many high schools. He played at norcal high school. Which was was the powerhouse high school that is in our in the inland empire before corona centennial. So i was always playing with older guys. My older brother my older cousin who football but when my brother started playing basketball the young age i just fell in love with it. And then as you know doug for us going up in southern california. The lakers were hot saw. My idol is magic. You're watching. You're going up in southern california. You know the lakers were in the finals. Nine out of eleven years or ten years. I mean it's hard not to love basketball. So that's where my affinity for the game grew in emulate. I would try to emulate magic on the on. The court is interesting right. Your your first big client with barrett. Who's who's just a mini magic right away. More athletic badges that was that was. Baron reminded everybody. I've just as a voted control. A game and the truth is not really old enough. I mean i know. He played against vents. Jim some you know But not really old enough to experienced the real magic. there is an interesting full circle to it. Okay so you're playing high school basketball but you went to j. w. alf ours and for people who don't know north is reggie miller right. Doug reggie went to riverside poly remers. Ipod sorry Quincy brewer. I think was the was right before you. He was like a two three combo score. Jada always dudes right additive what ham ballers by like that was in the empire was producing some dudes back that Keke van horn was was net. Diamond bar i remember you. I'll i'll go through really quick. One team was the one team had four starters in the pac ten on it on that j w north team as quincy board. Went to as you. Ed gray ended up at gal sunny benjamin at oregon state and then corey and As well and then we were all the generation right after but they went to eight finals a cis southern section finals in a row what trayvon carmichael was fontana sean him what would happen him going. Trayvon carmichael i remember. We went to abcd ninety four and he was a three news on the. Oh you've never heard of this dude. He was like six or a football player. He was asked he was built. A dugouts suits going on swear. The guy was jumping off two feet from free. Throw line games. It seems like corey were him. Koreans jamal slaughter were teammates at fontana after corey transferred from northland talented team. Yeah thoughtful high was very legit back that okay so so. Education was a huge inner in your household. Did your parents come home and and you know make you do work by how was why was education so such an important part of your upgrade. I think i'd say this is by the immigrant mentality overall. Is i know everyone that. I think that tends to emigrate to the. Us is for a better way of life not just for themselves but for their kids and so like you know like a lot of immigrant families is. Hey you're going to be a doctor or a lawyer so you know my brother does or maybe if you're if you this. Jewish families is doctor lawyer and he had nothing going for your account counter exactly and that's changed revolve. Now i got. I got some indian buddies. Yeah todd dr attorney or engineer and now it's like okay entertainment and entertainment executives other things but For us that's that's the route we took. My brother's.
