Hurricane Ida Slams Louisiana, Forces Mississippi River to Reverse Flow
"One of the most powerful storms to ever hit the. Us made landfall over the weekend. Hurricane ida directly hit port fouchane louisiana with one hundred and fifty mile an hour winds flooding rain in life threatening storm surges. That were more than seven feet above normal. The storm ripped the roofs off homes businesses and at least one hospital it snapped trees and power lines flooded streets and left more than a million electricity customers in the dark. In fact the entire city of new orleans lost power the winds were so strong they reverse the flow of the mississippi river near new orleans something the us geological survey calls extremely uncommon only four stronger storms in history of ever hit the mainland. Us and as of early this morning hurricane ida has weakened a little but it is still packing hurricane strength as it moves inland tornado. Watches have also been issued for parts of louisiana mississippi alabama and florida. For a lot of people this is all too familiar ida hit on the exact same date as historically devastating hurricane katrina sixteen years ago. I came ashore about forty five miles west of where katrina first struck land but the area was more prepared. This time since katrina hit newer stronger more sophisticated levees were built to hold back storms. Like this and it seems they've been able to hold up this time much better than the ones that failed following katrina more than eighteen. Hundred people died after katrina. This time. it's too early to know what the human toll may be. Hundreds of thousands of people evacuated ahead of hurricane ida but not everyone got out so there are twenty one search and rescue teams from about fifteen different states ready to find survivors as soon as the storm calms down the federal emergency management agency or fema also sending more than two thousand emergency workers hundreds of extra ambulances and millions of meals and leaders of water. We should also get a better idea of the overall damage. Once the sun comes up

"Today we're talking about four hundred percent over four years of coaching with none other than clay clark. And let's just be honest klay because fire nation likes success but they love super success breakdown. What you think the first step to achieving super successes. Well i think the first thing we have to recognize is the the harsh reality that ninety. Six percent of businesses fail according to inc magazine. That's not my opinion. That's magazine will tell you if you look up other statistics you're gonna find eight hundred. Ten small businesses failed forbes. Eight at ten nine hundred ten businesses. Fail dear research tonight folks. Look that up but the first you have to recognize that most people are going to fail by default. So you have to become an intentional person so step one you have to define what success looks like. I mean what does success look like for your faith your family finances your fitness your friendship and your fun and napoleon hill once wrote that a goal is a dream with a deadline napoleon hill the bestselling author of thinking grow rich. You know the personal printers for andrew carnegie. He said that he's a goal is a dream with a deadline. So ask yourself right now. You know i. I have in removing to a forty acre property. Moving to a new building. Moving there i have to ask ourselves what does a successful man cave look like. What does it look like. I'm being serious. I'm telling the listeners out there. This is true a successful man cape books like this three quarters of my beautiful house. My wife has to approve. Of which means that. I will not like it. Because it's going to be boozy transitional and whatever that is but if she's happy i'm happy but then we go to the man cave. This is my family. My man cave has to feel like a dive bar. I have to have rustic. Beat up floors. I've got to have live edge. Would i gotta have a urinal. These are things. That i need jail. These things. i have to have a forty seven foot waterslide but did extends from my waterfall in my backyard. What kind of a successful entrepreneur could possibly do life without a urinal a urinal it's an incredible By the way without having his own forty seven foot waterslide. I'm i'm a forty year old man. I need a forty seven foot waterslide. So but if by default i just met with builders and said well do whatever you think i probably would not have a forty-seven i probably would not have a urinal in my bathroom. My wife would probably not have the existence that she wants. And i would probably not have enough land that i can buy all the yaks llamas and chickens that i want but i want you accent llamas and somebody else listening to says you're sick. You're crazy. well. I might be crazy. I might be a modern billy madison. But the point is ladies and gentlemen you have to define. What are your goals for your faith your family your finances your fitness your friendship your fun and you have to ask yourself. How much does that cost per year.

Who Will Pay To Protect Tech Giants From Rising Seas?
"Lauren in our episode last week you told us about facebook how the company has built its headquarters on the waterfront and at sea levels rise it and the cities around it will need to build defences to keep the water back and the big question in that story was was a fair amount for facebook to pay for those defenses. And today we're talking about whether buildings should happen at all in areas vulnerable to climate change. And it's a story that involves another tech giant google. Yes and for google. The situation is a little different. And i should say google is among npr's financial supporters. Yep disclosure Yeah they recently bought a lot of property in sunnyvale with plans to build a major expansion on it. it's actually more than seventy properties close to the shoreline worth almost three billion dollars. Whoa okay that's a lot and what's there now. Yeah this neighborhood. It's known as moffett park. It's really an office park right now. There's lots of these low rise office buildings with lots of big parking. Lots what google wants to build is different. It'll be offices of course but also housing which isn't in moffett park right now and it's it's not for employees necessarily. It'll be on the market for anyone. They're also envisioning green spaces and bike paths basically walkable neighborhoods. That's the direction. A lot of cities are going in. Right yeah. I mean getting people out of their cars and moving away from the suburban model. Yeah and changing. Our land use is a key strategy for dealing with climate change and cutting carbon emissions but climate change is also a problem for this neighborhood because sea levels are rising and rising increasingly. Fast right okay. So how soon will that encroaching water be a problem fairly quickly. I mean there's already been about eight inches of sea level rise over the last century. By mid century san francisco bay could see about a foot to two feet and by the end of the century. It could be as much as seven feet. If humans don't substantially cut emissions so basically every high tide is getting higher and the risk of flooding is greater if there's a storm or wins that create bigger

UN Climate Change Report: It's Not Too Late to Control Global Warming
"Becky. The main thing. I took away from the big. Un climate report last week was that climate change is accelerating which is really scary. Because it makes it feel like we're running out of time to control the speed and severity of global warming. Yeah totally and we can put some terrifying numbers behind that scary feeling right so the earth is already almost two degrees. Fahrenheit hotter than it wasn't late eighteen hundreds The rate of warming since nineteen seventy is the fastest in two thousand years. The same goes for sea level rise. It's accelerated since the nineteen seventies ex but the science also makes it clear that it is not too late to control global warming. So we're living through a really exciting moment because everything that humans do now when it comes to climate change will have impacts for the rest of our lives. But why is that like. Why should this moment feel exciting. Instead of dreadful to be clear it can feel both ways like a good climate therapist. Okay go on yes. But here's the case for why it's exciting so the earth is on track for catastrophic warming right now so if humans don't cut greenhouse gases quickly we could see five six even seven feet of sea level rise on average by the end of the century but the flip side of that is that if humans do basically stop burning oil and gas and coal this decade next decade. Then that doesn't happen and yeah that's going to be really really hard. But under that scenario sea levels rise a lot more slowly and they max out at maybe a foot which is a huge difference. Right if we're thinking about kids who are in elementary school right now. In coastal cities all around the world. We'd be saving them from life changing sea level rise this same goes for other impacts from climate change. You know if adults alive today can manage to virtually stop burning fossil fuels in the next twenty years or so. Life looks a lot less polluted a lot less dangerous for kids. Who are alive today.

Google Plans to Expand Its Campus Which Might Become Unsafe
"Google is expanding its campus in the san francisco bay. Area the companies. Planning to build offices as well as housing and greenspace near the shoreline which is at risk from rising sea levels. And that's raising the question of whether building there should happen at all. Npr's lauren summer has the story as a city planner in silicon valley. Michelle king. here's all about one of the biggest headaches in the bay area housing. Oh my goodness housing. Here is extremely expensive. Sunnyvale has very high cost of living in may the median. Home price in sunnyvale. Where king works was one point. Eight million so the city is looking at a different kind of housing higher density. That's walkable transit and greenspace. It would go into a part of town called moffett park right now. It's just offices lots of low rise buildings with wide parking lots one of the most sustainable things you can do is put people where they work and put people where transit is so. This is a huge opportunity. This isn't just sunnyvale vision. It shared by one of the largest landowners. Moffett park google over the last five years. The company has quietly bought more than seventy properties. Here worth almost three billion dollars. Jeff holtzman is google's director of real estate development for sunnyvale. We're incorporating sustainability into everything we do in our developments and we're doing it to support our employees but also the community and hopefully the environment. Sunnyvale is in the process of rezoning the land to allow google to build new offices and housing and just to know. Google is one of npr's financial supporters. And there's one more detail the city is looking at. This land is on the shore of san francisco bay which puts it right in the path of sea level rise sea level rises already happened. I we've seen about a foot over the last hundred years. Christina hill as a professor of environmental planning at uc berkeley. We're standing on the edge of the bay where a high tide is coming in. Hill says sea level rise will make these tides even higher by as much as seven feet by twenty one hundred. But that's not the only problem there's also seawater in the soil under our feet the groundwater and as the c rises that to- of saltwater under the soil is gonna rise also

Parents phone died and then all the phones on the block died. Because you would tell yourself anything to not think the worst and then you do whatever you can to find them at eight thirty a. m. jackie was in the school guidance. Counselors office at that same moment in the gym. A student was walking on top of a row of rolled up gym mats that were lined up vertically against the wall. Each matt stood almost seven feet high and three feet across making a sort of makeshift walkway. Why anyone was allowed to walk on a seven foot. High vertical rolled up. Jemat is anyone's guess. But in one of the matt's the students saw what looked like feet wearing hanes socks. She called some friends over and when they saw what she saw. One of them screamed lowndes. High head athletic trainer philip pipe. Low and one of the other coaches ran across the gym. Push the mat over on its side and a male's body tumbled out along with blood and vomit pipe blow-back away. The other coach told the students to leave the job at that moment. Back in the guidance counselors office. The phone rang the volume may have been tad too high because coming from the other end. Jackie could clearly hear someone say. They found a body in the gym. The guidance counselor rushed out of the room and jackie sat there probably frozen in terror because in that moment she just knew that body was the body of her son. Kendrick when police.

Historically the clinic was held in the early part of march just before the start in the northeast dive season. The show actually happened in march. Two thousand twenty just before the country shut down it was probably the last scuba diving show before cove. It wasn't possible to conduct the clinic in march. Two thousand twenty one as we were still at a high point of covy nineteenth spread infections so the decision was made to move the show to the first weekend of october in two thousand twenty one fall in massachusetts.

See your oversight for all the details and get your tickets now now. Here's something new to help you with your fish identification. It's something called name that fish dot com name. That fish dot com was created by a guy named jake easterling and he is the co founder of a company called scuba. School botox mission is to reduce the cost and time requirements to monitor coral reefs by using artificial intelligence autonomous underwater vehicles and citizen science. I guess and of course this work. Jake developed a database of fish and came up with the idea of taking people's underwater video footage and identifying fish in the video. If you go to the name net fish dot com website you can view short video on what the finished product looks like. Jake also has assured Tutorial on how to make a submission the site says it will accept dot m. p. four emo v dot j. peg in png files. Max file. Size is one hundred megabytes and must be at least seven hundred. Twenty p or higher processing time is one to five days the more fish more processing the rare species. The longer it takes to verify and if your quality isn't that good don't be don't need more time to process. There's a little bit of disconnect on pricing. Jake says into in his short tutorial that you can set any price you think is best but there's also a button that says it costs three ninety nine in any event. Why don't you just go out and take a look at name. That fish dot com. I recently hadn't really interesting email. Come across my desk a few days ago and it was from reef divers. If you're not familiar with reef divers they operate with the clearly came in resorts. Cobol coast on grand came and the little cayman beach resort and the beach resort. They're known for their valet diving. Well reef divers is expanding our operation in the caribbean to turks. Keiko's now they are partnering with east bay resort on south. Keiko's it looks like they plan to be up and running there by late. August east bay resort sits on a mile long beach and boasted. Every room has a beach view. To get south goes she'll need to fly into providence jalis and then you can take either a short air hop over or board the ferry. It's not that long of a ride resort officer an all inclusive option. That seems pretty good reef divers outstanding operator in the caymans so sure that you can look forward to superior valet service from nemo turkson. Keiko's as well so many places to go diving. What it dilemma. Just about every week. Get an update from michael light. Any contains various tips and tricks for better underwater photography plus they also provide some product updates but also in this email is some other interesting information last week. They introduced me to an organization called washed ashore and the articles title said using discarded plastic to save the ocean. Now washed ashore. It is a five. Oh one three or c three nonprofit arts and environmental education organization aimed at bringing to light the world's plastic pollution problem. Well how well washed ashore started by angela ponzi who is a lifelong lover of the ocean and after the death. Her husband from a brain tumor. She turned to the ocean for healing. What she also found was that the ocean needed healing as well so she turned her artistic talents into creating sculptures. That are marine-related using the plastic. That is washed up ashore and they do some spectacular sculptures. I was also amazed by the fact that they have over fourteen thousand volunteers. Working with washed ashore. These are not small sculptures. Either you can check them out at washed ashore and take a look at some of their work. You will be amazed well. I'm sure that we've all heard about the billionaires who are competing to go into space amazing stuff for someone who grew up at the start of the space race in the nineteen sixties. But there's also another race going on and that's the race to build the world's deepest pool at the top of the list. Right now is deep dive. Dubai located in nod al sheba. Which is fifteen minutes from downtown dubai. It's an amazing sixty meters deep. That's one hundred ninety seven feet and contains fourteen million liters of water or three point. Seven million gallons. The pools constant thirty degrees celsius or eighty six degrees fahrenheit. It is team doesn't abandon sunken city. Now that's pretty cool. They have an onsite hyperbaric chamber restaurant gift shop and dive shop. Put this in perspective. The other deep pools around the globe include. Why forty in italy at forty two point one five meters deep spot in poland at forty five point four meters and there's either one coming online or it's online and crom cornwall england. That's called blue vis at fifty meters deep. I wonder if there's some kinda limit on just how deep can build a pool. I'm sure we'll be amazed and finally today. Here's another message in a bottle story. this time. It comes from michigan. It seems that jennifer dour the owner and operator of nautical north family adventures of scuba snorkeling. Glass bottom boat company was cleaning a windows on her glass bottom boat in the cheboygan river when she spotted the bottle inside. The bottle was a message from ninety. Five years ago it read will the person who finds a bottle return his paper to. George morrow cheboygan michigan until where it was found. The message was dated november. Nineteen twenty six. Jennifer posted this on social media and george morrow daughter michelle who's now under seventies reached out michelle indicated that her father was probably eighteen years old when he put the message out. There sounds like the battle didn't travel very far. However now i wonder just. How many messages in bottles are out there. Well that's it for this edition of wet notes here on

You're alive right now out a couple with Christmas art vj husky. Man you agree with steve kerr. Yes sir. I gotta agree. I don't to some as I would agree that cave. Kevin durant is a one to one as far as offense at leaks in my eyes. He's out offensively. The he's the greatest offensive weapon we've seen just from that aspect now far as jordan that winning that will to win and into dominate. That's that's only been matched. Maybe the one other products in the late great koby as far as just sure. We'll to win it. It's only going to be mike in kobe. Data in that category. But as far as offensively gifted you gotta give it a katie. Seven foot handed iraq the way that he does shoot the ball the way he does he wanna one. He's gonna he's gonna go down. So is that saying. He's lacking intangibles. If he's he's do the league is more i. The influx of talent is more the the way the players are the way that they bill. It's kind of like the nfl. And with quarterbacks how they're specialized at a young age is the nba. The same way. You gone i g you always see a five zero six zero doing dribbling drills nowadays so i think the influx of talent has caused the league to be a little bit more tougher than what it may have been back then jordan set the standard. Gotta remember that jordan. Set the standard. He said the standard of come Two two can't ready to play. He was the one that said that standard. So it comes to guide coming after jordan. It's hard to judge because jordan was the one that set the standard of how to be great in the league. Whatever do come on man. Larry bird were great. They set a standard. Okay i to do that. But didn't johnson also have females at the hotel. after the game. I watch him move your. Yeah yeah i will say this though. I don't agree with it but to the point of the influx of talent and it being so spread. i'll just double down on that and say maybe. That's why the super team did eric. Kinda did start because there was so much influence a and you might have had a few more teams that go to maybe desk where he was trying to go out and i agree with him but they that maybe might where he was trying to cause not.

Conspiracy Theories
"seven foot" Discussed on Conspiracy Theories
"The spaceship disappeared around nine. Forty five. stephen returned home and called the police state trooper arrived in the to return to the scene while the ship was long gone the grass where it had previously rested still glowed with an unnatural light as he knelt down to investigate. Stephen fell violently ill. He shook and thrashed until the trooper carried him away. Apparently ufo investigators who checked out the landing spot later on also became dizzy and even had trouble breathing. Incidents like this where people saw sasquatch is right next to. Ufo's were fairly rare but there were plenty of cases where one person glimpsed a ufo within hours or days of a bigfoot sighting in a lot of these situations witnesses often reported that the creatures had glowing red eyes. Today wilson discussed this phenomenon in his book. He argued that the red sheen was caused by a reflective layer of tissue behind the retina. Similar to how a cat's eyes shine at night. However these tissues are virtually unheard of in large primates and many witnesses didn't actually say big foot's eyes were shiny. They said they glowed as if they were lit from inside. In addition some people swore they'd seen sasquatch is used paranormal abilities like telepathy. This may seem far fetched but it could explain the disappearing. Act him witnessed. If these beings could reach into people's heads they wouldn't have to physically vantage. They could just choose not to be seeing in his bug. The psychic sasquatch in their ufo connection author. Jack labs rytas collected firsthand accounts involving telepathy in one a weary bigfoot sex to a rock electric from texas in spoke with him for hours the texan city built the beings voice inside his head. The writer even apparently had his own encounters with sasquatch is including late night visits in his bedroom. He was frequently awakened by seven foot tall creatures who told him telepathically not to be afraid when he looked down he saw their legs disappearing into the floorboards to be clear. Jack didn't believe the animals were actually there at least not physically. He thought they were astral projections or disembodied souls. They left their physical bodies behind allowing them to travel great distances one. Bigfoot told him that she was actually aboard a spaceship but she and her companion had projected themselves into his room. When the conversation was over they faded away leaving no trace behind this disappearing act lead jack to believe they hadn't just come from another world but another dimension is sasquatch is are capable of inter dimensional travel or astral projection. It's no wonder they don't leave much evidence behind. Even if one died on earth the body might end up on another planet or on another physical plane but all that is contingent on if the alien paranormal theory is true. And that's a pretty big. If right now we don't have anything to go on besides eyewitness testimony the physical evidence we do have like footprints could have been made by a primate from a scientific perspective. We don't need a supernatural explanation. In fact there isn't a whole lot of support for this idea even among sess. Kuala as wilson pointed out these creatures were seen eating garbage. It's not exactly the behavior you'd expect from a highly advanced civilization so irate conspiracy theory number two eight two out of ten. I agree especially because there's no evidence that telepathy exists let alone that sasquatch is are capable of it until someone proves otherwise i rate this theory a one but even though we find the idea fetched that isn't to say some sort of vital clue couldn't change our minds truthfully. There's still a lot we don't know about. Sasquatch is perhaps because that evidence is being deliberately withheld which is why some sasquatch alleged there's a cover up underway. Bigfoot could be out there and the government may be hiding the bodies coming up how government agencies may have buried the truth about sasquatch..

How about this for a quick complica- compare him to a recent big one. He played against and was good against james wiseman to me mobilize more versatile player with the higher upside and a year ago in a weaker draft. Class what's interesting is wise men went second moby might wind up going second or third we mentioned in the previous partly sided. I don't think he's going to go. I in this draft because of centers. And how they're viewed and how their role is changing By the year but it is interesting like if you put mobile wiseman even knowing what wise. Men's out like a year ago i would have said the same thing i think i would still take mobely over wise men coming out of college and we agree on the sofa.

But it'd be embarrassed in seeing it all as a young man said man. This is where. I want to be. So i finish service and then took my gi bill to do two years embarrassed.

The city's namesake and former governor and president of texas in one of the things that david loved about sculpting sam houston was working on the head and specifically the is head is about twelve feet tall and i get looking in his eyes and i love the way it's gone looks right at you.

Because all he is really is like a a french shawn bradley. Like he's not good but he's seven foot ones. Oh swat a shot or two. If ben walls seven foot one. I'm sure you'd probably score more points. But he wouldn't be exactly who. He is the fact that he gets disrespected because short because he can't shoot a free throw to save his life which i understand why but also still come on and the fact that he like maybe average maybe seven points for his career. There like that doesn't mean he's at hall of fame player but he greatly impacted the game defensively and has so many accolades as a defensive player. I don't get it if you're gonna let players in there who just score and have not done anything with their career. But you're not going to let in one of the most defensively decorated players in the israeli entire nba. I think someone is doing something wrong and they need to fix that. I'm with you all right. Let's talk tigers. There is a really big bright spot in kill badu. I've got some numbers to talk about because this is just impressive. first off. not only all right. Did he hit a home. Run on the first pitch he saw. I think there's only been thirty or thirty one players who've done that in all of mlb history and you know major league baseball. Been around a long time. He hit his second career homer which was a grand slam and he was the first player in franchise history to do that and to go deep in each of his first. Two games and tigers have been around since nineteen o one so like this is an impressive. Start for this guy. I think it. It's great you know. I know no player is perfect and the season is long but i just love being excited about somebody again definitely and thing that really bothers me about being excited for him which i hate to look ahead is when they start throwing him off speed pitches and is like three seventy batting average. Dropped to like two. Oh four and they're like well get him outta here. Like i'm not looking forward to that but for now i'm excited. Because they have somebody to focus on the have someone who's like this guy might come bail us out. Bring him into pinch it. He might take the game home for us. Made him start. He might make a few hits at bats. Currently he might bring in some runs. I'm excited for that right now. He leads the tigers total bases and like he. I don't think he started every single game..

Rudy Gobert's Transformation Started In The D-League
"On sunday rudy. Gobert made his second straight appearance in an nba. All star game. Tom make it a second confederate and for years. Now the big man with the even bigger wingspan. There's been a dominant force within the nba. Tolbert defensive player of the year. There was a time when that was not the case. Time when rudy gobert future was very much in doubt. Today the fx christopher come ronnie takes us back to the time when go gobert was uncertain about where it was headed and explains how he climbed his way to the top. They knew that if he could fill out if he could continue to develop defensively and add various tidbits to his game. Offensively could potentially become a game changer in the league. That's their mind in rudy's mind. He always believed that he would took from wondering athletic. I'm under scotto. It's monday march eighth. And this is the league. It felt like something great emotion and ask past. I s not get this. This is here. you're gonna be the athlete. It stays with you so chris basketball fan today. Think of rudy gobert this absolute force you know a guy who dominates around the rim often makes other teams change their style of play when they face him. But you recently spoke with rudy and wrote about how that has not always been the case so take us back to the days when rudy gobert was not yet rudy. Gobert there. Yes so rudy. Gobert was drafted by the denver nuggets in two thousand thirteen and acquired by the jazz in a draft night. Trade played for show les the french league and his sizeable things into the twenty seventh overall. Pick and he came into the league as a relative unknown. What you'll bring to this team. I mean i i know. You're very long and and a defensive presence. What do you think you can. How can you help this team right away right away. Yeah can we. He had worked his way up the international level coming up in france he had to work himself onto the radar of even french national teams. He wasn't really all that known as a fifteen sixteen year old. How long have you been playing basketball nine years nine. So did you grow up playing soccer before he was on jazz team. That had several high draft picks on it. They had derrick favors. Ns canter to former high draft picks. Big men that played rudy's position. They had a veteran and andreas. Who was a veteran presence on that team as a big man and under that regime rudy kind of found himself as the odd man out but the jess drafted him and took him on as a project and he apparently was not the most stylish guy. What he i community league. yes so obviously. When you're twenty one year old seven foot one kit. That's tall and gangly. It's hard to find clothes that fit you. Great i was going to be on. Is doing right now if you see rudy these various nba awards where he's won the nba defensive player of the year. Two times now. He's showing up and looking very much like a stylistic parisian that he probably always wanted to be back in two thousand thirteen when he was still sort of odd man out on the jazz as you put it. He got sent down to the bakersfield jam of what was then the d. league. i from a life standpoint. What was it. Like for rudy gobert. End up so far off the beaten path and you know in one of the rougher parts of california yes so it's a culture shock for anybody. I think who wants to be a professional basketball player to have to go to a place like bakersfield. California bakersfield has kind of a rough and tumble streak about it. It isn't the most friendliest places. Well tonight we are taking an in depth look into black tar heroin and its presence here in kern county. Rudy's coach will void talked about it would be culture shock for anybody. Let alone a parisian arriving in bakersfield. Which is we're like community area where where are rena and everything was based. That is kind of like mess. Mess capital of the world. So i think he was not going to find a croissant sprint. Snow and anywhere around there. The coaches just told him to stay in his hotel room. And just relax tries to be honest. tells hotel for the most in when he wanted to go work out at the gym. the bakersfield complex. Had you know that all that stuff in their facility but it was very much like. It was almost like a private school in that. He went from work to the hotel room. And that's

Celtics Trade Rumors: Nikola Vucevic
"Do have interesting trade rumors. We didn't want to wait till after to get to them and they involve a bunch of big names that we've been kicking around on the thread on the on the live streams all of this time some really big fish out there. The Celtics are supposedly in on so we'll go Name by name. But again, this is Shams very plugged in the Athletic Club throwing out vucevic throwing out Jeremy Grant throwing out Harrison Barnes. These are all enticing names and honestly those three plus there and Gordon are probably the big fish house on the market Garden Of course dealing with the sprained ankle. So teams are wait and see there but those are the big names out there. We've been hearing them all the time. I'm going to start with Bobby's boy boo Savages. Part of that report was that it's going to be a massive Hall that we've been debating on all day Bobby what that actually entails but first this you turned on this guy meaning turned back towards this guy as Gore guy tell us why tell us what you think what you'd be willing to give up here for the Celtics to get it done. So I was never the biggest fan him and the sticks were previously invested in him during that Kemba Walker offseason. They were hot on him cuz they had the max cap space after Kyrie and Mortadella could have filled him down the middle. So there's a connection there. Obviously Kemba came along and grab that bone. Now, you have the chance to have four All-Stars on the team of chemicals affect them. They hated it. Yeah, and I still don't love it now, but I think context is everything you don't have cap space forever now wage only so many ways you can improve in the future. So why not grab the best player available? And I think out of all the options were going to talk about today. This guy's an All-Star. He pushes 30 points a game on many birth. It's eye dominant. Rebounder. Probably one of the best rebounders in basketball this year defense. We'll see I think it's all situational but he's kind of a disaster down there in Orlando defensive or a that could change in Boston and the three-point shot by zone is the best 3-point shooter above the break and basketball this year. So that's perfect in Boston pick-and-pop off and he'd get open shots above the are called a there he can post up he's seven feet. I know people will love that. He's a real big so he just give them a bunch of different options and outlets for offense and size that they don't have right now and this is what I love about and to John if they can find a way to clear types in a potential deal here clear Thompson in a game here and you're left with Rob and bukovic. See the dream. That's the dream. So look at it this way though. If you're the other team coming back, your don't want to take on Thompson or Thai so, you know, Rob is automatic berth. Certainly, if you're going to go big, you know to go get somebody else's big. I don't see any world in which you make a trade really any trade at this point in Rob Williams is still a Celtic. So anybody at home saying do do it do it I think has to get used to kind of giving up on their Binky which is Rob Williams, which is going to be hard for a lot of Celtics fans to be able to live with that.

"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.

"So when you first got there, I think you brought up Greg Oden was like a I forget his title. What is title he was at the time Greg was manager student. Yes, he was a graduate manager graduate manager graduate manager see a Gregory you also I think had scoonie Penn in a row. Yeah. Yeah are those two playing like against the managers in game? Like is this the greatest team ever put together on a staff? What was it like the first of all high-level dudes, as you know, scoonie Penn is a high-level guy man. He's with he's with Memphis wage. Always with Grizzlies now and and as you guys know Greg's great unbelievable love a lovable 7-footer like big lovable, like everybody loves Greg Greg play with the managers every day after practice and before every before every game so you saw all of these, you know, God so loved, you know short managers we had some size but you know, he saw all these managers who and then saw seven foot Greg Oden out there like just running dudes over and occasionally he would, you know try to shoot threes, but when they need him to score like he would just you know, he would do what what we know Greg Oden does and you know, we we were able to practice with Greg a few times. And because he was a graduate managers allowed to do it. So we put him on the Scout teams matter of fact when we played before we play Purdue we put him on the scout team a couple of times because of Hoss. Yeah, and we said we need someone to simulate horses physicality. So we said hey who better than Greg Oden, let's let's put them on the scout team. Let's have him simulate all of you know, practice runs so many actions to get their bigs touches. So we got the guy Greg Oden is going to imitate Isaac house and and he's going to simulate that even though you know, he's a few years a few years to remove from playing we are probably I don't know two or three minutes into our defending Purdue actions, and I had to call it off. I thought I should get Greg out. He's going to hurt our entire team like I mean balls were flying guys were falling off. He was supposed to them throwing him into the Basketball stand. I said get him out. Like I need I need guys to play against Isaac. Also, he gave us a great look but I was afraid he was going to hurt our team. I will say it was awesome doing your guys games because after shoot around the managers would play they would play pick up and and they they grab Craig and they'd grabbed scrutiny and it's like now registered with them cuz they you know those guys on a personal level that you've got. The number one pick in the NBA draft and the Big Ten Player of the Year from whatever year that was Cooney playing against them. I'm not sure did like but those jobs they were busiest. Well, if you know scoonie they know because studio will tell them any let him know he left us. There's nothing his big not as much but Studio let him know if you don't mind telling them right I loved I loved her Greg grew up cuz you know again, I covered Greg it's funny. So here's a story going back home. Ever ever ever introduce myself to a when I was a recruiting writer back when Rob was young now, he's really old. I never ever introduced myself to a head coach until fad. That was the first coach. I ever introduced myself to it was at the tournament in Arkansas and he was recruiting Odin calmly at that point and I remember going up to him and I spoke bunch of time around obviously that team they were so good..
