NBA Trade Season is Here, KD to Miami?, & More | The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

wfat yes the return of f we’re joined by our senior Nicks correspondant the commissioner fandom he’s got a new special it’s called you’ve changed it debuts July 9th on Prime video and he’s with us because the Knicks have gotten Mel Bridges and a 2026 second rounder for buan bonovich an unprotected first in 2025 unprotected first in 2027 unprotected first in 29 hold on hold on Sam dropped his Zoom Frozen he dropped it was a really good intro though it’s not Bogden no it’s not bden yeah but it’s a soft J on bonovich so it’s pretty good yeah we should have just kept going we should have just kept going we could keep going doing I would I would have been like these are difficult names let’s keep the intro maybe pause and then go an unprotected first round pick in 2031 an unprotected pick swap in 2028 a top four protected 2025 first round pick via the Bucks and a second round pick in 2025 for a zero time Allstar who cares about 28 29 2030 the Knicks are going for it right now yeah some rice just flew out of my mouth it doesn’t matter this is all going to get cut anyway this is a dress rehearsal you know it’s a a practice run it’s interesting they’ve seen people make this observation it is like they’ve built a super team of role players huh uh Los has been eating an apple the entire time so this is not something that would ever air obviously yeah I think it’s fine I’m not chewing into the microphone Sam that’s a lot of picks that’s a lot of picks to give up for a zero time Allstar I mean the Knick’s last four picks have been RJ Barrett Obie toppen Frank nit Lina whatever the hell his name is I don’t care what his name is and Kevin Knox who cares about the picks I mean seriously all right Sam your thoughts as the commissioner of fandom and the senior Nicks correspondent here on wfat I mean how could you not be excited to get male Bridges I mean it’s it’s the the final infinity stone it’s a big deal uh I heard what you said about him never being an All-Star you know who else never was an All-Star until this season Jaylen Brunson yep these guys bring out the best in each other you can’t measure Good Vibes but we felt that last year it’s only going to get better got to bring back OG really hope we find a way to still bring back hardenstein too I think he’s he’s essential but if we do damn we’re deep we’re scared to get Bridges out of uh Brooklyn is so nice he looked more depressed every time we played each other than a guy in like an Isis hostage tape you know the difference is I think people actually watch Isis H hostage tapes no one watches the Brooklyn Nets so glad he’s here in New York City glad he’s on the right side in the right burrow let’s go Nicks okay uh you say keep all those people but this is a quote from WJ the Knicks are still determined to keep OG in free agency sources tell ESPN but the ability to resign Center Isaiah hartenstein becomes more difficult now the Knicks are loading up on wings to match up with the NBA champion Boston Celtics yeah I mean I think I hear that and uh but you know W also said that Dan Hurley was gonna be the next coach of the LA Lakers so w doesn’t know everything Let’s uh let’s slow down W hardenstein there’s Good Vibes going there I think like if it’s a difference between two mil a year I think he he could stay here you know we uh we’re really good with arenstein I hope I hope it works out Stephen A just reported just moments ago here that KD and the suns are looking to says that the suns are looking usually would go the other way around and maybe because Stephen A’s got really good relationships in the Kevin Durant uh camp but he went to First Take and he said the sons want to trade Kevin Durant right now and there’s we’re on the precipice of some big moves there’s a lot of stuff going lot of moves before the moves Jeremy has been hard at work we got something for you later D Mike you want them Stephen A Smith also said that none of no Villanova players in that draft would have a good NBA career and now the Knicks have four solid NBA players from villain Nova I don’t care what Stephen A says and and maybe he does have good relationships throughout the league but uh but New York is not a fan of Stephen A you uh you just sabotaged our gas bag of the week sound here that uh that we had all queued up to play you so let’s go ahead and do that now for Sam gas bag of the week and now let’s play that Stephen a video that Sam is referencing please about him saying that none of the Villanova guys are going to be pros and now all of them are on the Knicks villain NOA doesn’t have a real NBA prospect on their squad skip bis in there who was agreeing with that him million he he’s worth it I mean it’s amazing you can get you can get this kind of money and be wrong all the time he’s really the the Shan Hannity of sports wait a minute they had agreement on the show about something and the agreement was about that they didn’t agree on anything for like a decade the one thing they agree on no NBA players on this Villanova team uh Sam I know you’re excited I know why you’re excited the Knicks are in the game I think Stephen hay just proclaimed you uh the best team in the NBA based on this trade for a zero time Allstar I know that people are getting carried away with the Nick stuff I know that injuries derail the season that when OG was there stugots they were playing during the regular season like a team this is empirical it’s not up for debate that had one of the best records in the league when he was there so the bridges acquisition he’s a very good player even though he’s a zero time Allstar he is a very good player that does what for your enthusiasm you’re putting them with the team team that you just saw overwhelm everybody in the sport last year I I don’t know I don’t enjoy your tone right now uh keep saying zero time Allstar there’s lots of players who weren’t Allstars who won Sam Cassell I believe won two championships before he was an Allstar you know if this Villanova team finds a way this Nicks Villanova Squad if they find a way to win a ring somehow in the next few years damn it’s going to be a beautiful 30 for30 uh the power of friendship he takes us to a special place because of his defense and he’s a he’s a great knockdown shooter and uh I think we match up well with Boston if we can bring back OG I do think we need size so you know I do worry about Mitchell Robinson’s Health but we get uh we get hardenstein back I hope we got we got sides we’re tough that’s that’s what I hope happens but we’ll see it will be hard as uh W said who knows all apparently uh Dan I’m sorry Bridges is 27 years old Dan two years ago it was 26 a game he stays healthy for the most part last year was 20 points a game he’s a great defender one of the best one-on-one defenders in the NBA so it does bring the Knicks closer if they resign OG they have two guys who could potentially guard Tatum and Jaylen Brown it’s an all-in move but again what equates to essentially six firstr round draft picks and making an Allin aggressive move for a dude that isn’t a world-renowned superstar ballart type of guy I don’t know it’s it’s ballsy you can you can praise the move as aggressive you can’t dispute that this management team has fixed what ailed the Knicks but OKC managed to get Caruso without giving up a pick and they’ve got a ton of picks too the Knicks have still five first round picks they still have five of them they had a ton what are you smiling about Sam yeah okay see has a ton of picks you know what they remind me of is that guy who saves his money their entire life and then just dies with like $40 million and you’re like okay I hope that was I hope that was fun never spending it like what are you gonna do with 207 first round picks OKC’s got a hell of a team but at some point you got to go all in I give them credit it’s an impressive trade for Caruso I would have Lov Caruso in New York’s he’s another uh tough player but uh at some point you got to go all in and I don’t know if they ever do I think they’re like they’re like pick hoarders I will give Sam credit and I I hate to do that here about the Knicks but it is a really smart move if you feel like this is the one chance that you have to build on something special and move forward and take a core and maximize what you can get out of them you add a guy who you not only know as a really good player maybe overpaying for him but also a guy who you know gets along with this locker room these guys all wanted to play together and look is it maybe an a super team of role players potentially but if all these guys can play their role the right way we’ve seen the way that the Knicks can maximize that Jeremy gives you credit how do you feel Sam I feel good good he only called me one time it was one time I I feel bad about that I I think I was in the right to call you so I think you were yeah you were were I I appreciate what you say Jeremy and I think super team of role players isn’t fair I think Brunson has played himself into a top 10 player you know Randall is still an allar like people like to on him and you know as you just said bridg is 26 a game I mean they’re going to move him Sam they’re going to move you got to get rid of Rand they gonna move only that good because he wasn’t there but I’m judging as it stands right now correct and and male Bridges he’s a heck of a player one of his best qualities is that he’s always available so you also look at his contract which is they’re gonna have to pay him at some point but right now Brunson and bridges together are making less than like Kawai less than Jimmy Butler less than a lot of you know Bradley Beal obviously but we all know that’s a poison pill but you know this is a really good contract brunson’s a really good contract we’re gonna have to probably really pay OG but that’s okay Randall right now is a good contract we’re a team full of good contracts and that that means something too Bridges hasn’t missed a game since high school uh OG is going to cost about 250 million which which hurts that that hurts he’s going to cost between 200 and 250 million and Sam what I would tell you is the Knicks are all in but the Knicks are making the first move and this time is fascinating stugots this week with the NBA draft Yeah and with every other team in the league in an ecosystem that’s super competitive doing what the Knicks are doing which is how do we beat the Celtics because now the Warriors are said to have Andrew wiggin and Chris Paul on the market clay might be available uh the Warriors might get involved with Paul George all of the teams that think that they’re a piece away are looking at themselves the way the Knicks are looking at themselves I mean Chris Paul’s a great player but you talk about having a harmonious locker room he doesn’t seem like the dude I don’t know like if we’re bringing in an old ass point guard with a fat ass I’m thinking Kyle Lowry and not Chris Paul Villanova bring it together charge machine he’s a Flopper but I still like him uh and then also who’s the other one uh Wiggins why Wiggins for us I don’t think that makes sense I mean I I think his stock is incredibly low he he looked incredible my point is just that he didn’t say you were getting all of them Sam my point is just that the Warriors are doing what the Knicks are doing there are 10 teams in the league that think that there are bridges away that they have to counter what the Celtics just did yeah I mean look the Celtics this is what happens when you’re the Champions they have a hell of a team and when you have that’s what happens I mean I feel like last year people were were building towards taking down the Nuggets right now it’s people building towards taking down the Celtics the Celtics are a really tough team like I mean they didn’t really even have porzingis healthy and they still and they still look great with old man Horford who’s a beast you know I I gotta give him credit uh and I I see why that line was so long to meet him at Raising Canes he’s a he’s a Boston OG he’s a badass I Gotta Give Alor for credit uh I can’t hate Drew holiday he’s too likable like they they’re a tough I like the culture of what they did but I love what the Knicks are doing and and I’m hearing a lot of uh NBA pundits saying right now as STS a Knicks are the biggest threat to the Celtics in the East and I think that’s a fair assessment uh the Bucks are getting older the Sixers are never healthy you know the heat are still tough I’ll give you that but I think we are as stands if we bring back OG we’re very dangerous you mentioned NBA pundits let’s go ahead and play Stephen A I don’t know what Sam’s going to do with this cuz loves the Knicks but he does not like Stephen A and look at what Stephen A now says because he’s very enthusiastic about this move I don’t give a damn what it is right now I’m looking at the New York Knicks and the only team I definitively see above them is the reigning defending NBA champion Boston Celtics anybody else you got some work to do cuz the New York Knicks baby the culture the fire you understand the tenacity the defense all of that stuff it’s here it’s here this is the kind of stuff that I’m talking about right now great great great move by the New York Knicks I absolutely love it I don’t like the first round picks but you do have 11 first round picks over seven years going into this move so you still got an abundance of first round picks at your disposal I love what I’m seeing I’m incredibly happy there’s more work to do but we took a step up last night he speaks for you Sam he speaks it’s very it’s very hard for me to see him happy but if it’s because of the Knicks I guess I’m gonna have to live with it Dan raising he I’ll give him one of these for this because I agree on in this point I I think you know uh the Knicks have gotten better I mean you have to look at that we did have an abundance of picks and it’s it’s for a move like this and I think he uh he just is going to fit so beautifully I think that one of the things about bridges is that he is a malleable player you can kind of play him on the wing he can knock down those threes he can get his own shot and he’s a hell of a Defender so I think this just makes everybody a little better and it hopefully gives Josh Hart some rest for once you know it lets these guys get a a few less minutes a game you mentioned earlier Raising Cane we’re all in agreement that that’s a wonderful restaurant when you’re drunk correct there is no dispute from anybody in the audience especially I don’t know who chicken is so may or may not be when you’re drunk is not much of an door I mean I’ll eat street meat when I’m drunk come on I’ll eat I know but I will eat chicken fingers and french fries more than anything in terms of absorbing Al alcohol than Raising Cane like what come on there’s nothing not lately you look good man you look you look you look Bel okay no one says that see how happy I am over the bridges I’m complim good unbelievable I’m sorry uh thank you Sam good talking to you I appreciate it orange and blue sky the future is bright his new special is called you’ve changed it debuts July 9th on Prime video thank you sir thanks for having me guys we’re getting Kevin we’re gonna go get Kevin Durant this seg if you’d like top cop on it go get him he’s all yours all right I’ll go by the board we’ve already started we started the last segment with everyone eating apples and eating into the microphone Paul George I got to tell you wasn’t doing anything for me I’ve been making fun of that guy his entire career and I really hate this recent trend of the heat acquiring players I do not like and having to talk myself into them it started with Jimmy Butler that one worked out I apologize but then Kyle Lowry and then Terry Rosier Paul George is in that class and I really don’t want to have to work my way up for it but Kevin Durant Dan this has always been the Way Phoenix stole him he thought he was coming here and he went over there and it was a absolute mess top to bottom and now it looks like they might blow it up and with Stephen A saying that the sons want to get rid of him and not the other way around I’m thinking that heat might be in on this if that’s true yeah but he went to Brooklyn and that you know turned out to be a disaster he went to Phoenix they should have been good they weren’t good you’re going to trust Kevin Durant to run your team I see what’s happening here you’re going to have to reconcile with a player that you haven’t liked his entire career and he shows up here and if he does any winning it’s going to be confusing for you but you also did this the moment that he got some Nicks excitement about his player being acquired the Knicks are in the game now the Knicks are being discuss in a way that made everyone real uncomfortable the way that ESPN celebrated that team for merely making the second round of the playoffs the idea that that team stugots is a player away to me suggests that the player needs to be better than brunon the Miami Heat have been a player away they need that player to be better than Jimmy Butler I think Kevin Durant has done some damage to how it is that he is regarded in the last couple of years because he has not been able to lift the team and stay healthy post Warriors to a championship he’s been very close I would still want him on my team but he’s got body parts breaking down and last year the league got taken away from him and people his age it got taken away by wing things that do to him what Tatum did to him last year when they saw when they lined up against each other and you saw the age difference on when Tatum’s duats when Pritchard comes out I don’t know if you saw this but when Pritchard comes out and hits the buzzer beater at the end of quarters that he’s brought out to get uh Jason Tatum went to jump up and do that chess bump celebration with a fellow athlete and he just hit Pritchard in the face with his because he jumps so high and Pritchard can’t get up as high and so he just uh didn’t do a chest bump of any sort but now because the NBA is in full swing here we’re going to get all sorts of transaction talk over the next couple of days because the draft itself stinks St got the draft the players that you can get in this draft are not as valuable as all the conversation that’s going to start happening around the possible transactions Jeremy’s out by a board there in the other room within a series of series of permutations here that get kicked off by the Knicks now saying we’re in the game we’re a player away Jeremy what do you have over there Dan there has been a ton of player movement already and it’s going to be a huge night NBA draft like you said not a ton of top tier Talent available but there’s a ton of top tier Talent available to the NBA and we saw one player in male Bridges moved yesterday the Knicks acquired the power friendship with all four of their Villanova players in return buan bogdanovich goes to the Nets but it’s the four unprotected first round picks the one protected first round pick via Milwaukee and the second round pick that go to the Brooklyn Nets that in turn makes them sellers so what happens with guys like cam Johnson Dorian finny Smith Dennis schruder Ben Simmons being brought up on draft night they also have a couple of their own picks that have now gone back but the reason they ended up with a couple of those picks another trade on on top of the Knicks trade it was with the Houston Rockets and it’s being reported that the Rockets have interest in players on the Phoenix Suns they acquired the 2027 first- round pick of Phoenix they acquired the ability to swap for the Suns 2025 first round pick and to swap for their 2029 first- round pick now what does that mean could they trade for say a Kevin Durant well according to wge Kevin Durant may be staying put maybe Houston’s not that interested but they’d be interested in Devin Booker now that’s a guy who could be traded to the Rockets if the suns were willing to blow it up and there are several several other players potentially on the Move how about Paul George here no more with the 76ers apparently interest has waned so what’s going to happen with him in his player option are the Warriors going to be aggressive and move for Paul George you also have players like Deonte Murray Trey Young potentially Brandon Ingram all available tonight how about dearen Fox who has two years left and has yet to sign an extension with Sacramento a fellow friend of bamama Bio speaking of those friends Donovan Mitchell now they have a new coach in Kenny Atkinson who has now gone to Cleveland but no extension signed just yet so Donovan Mitchell in the heat is that a potential for tonight or Beyond or as Stephen A Smith mentions Kevin Durant this morning the night of the NBA draft and Phoenix wanting to move him all of a sudden New York’s out of the sweep Stakes the Nets are out of the sweep Stakes as they tank and who could want to acquire a potentially older scorer to go along with their older Alpha and get a sort of quiet killer in Kevin Durant well maybe just maybe Dan Miami Heat you’re breathy out of breath Billy can Billy can you go out there and translate for me please I need a heat translator on that in icient mess he did a bang up job that was I got to be honest he’s pretty good at that I mean he’s really good at that uh it is a mess that he’s made on the board I was hoping all of those points I I was hoping that would be a drawing of something uh a really interesting team to monitor here jery thank you for opening my the Rockets were the Rockets were a lot better than anyone expected them to be last year I don’t think we had van vet and uh and Dylan Brooks creating that much of a difference with that team Billy what are the translations here you are over at the heat board and you are writing on the board uh what is that word you just wrote I can’t read that board on that word on the board here next Heat says nothing so the way that this is going to work for the heat is Kevin Durant is going to be headed to the heat for nothing Devin Booker is going to be headed to the heat for nothing and then we have Donovan Mitchell I agree headed to the heat for nothing who else is on this board hardenstein you want him he’s going to be headed over to theat and they’re going to trade nothing for him and then that’s going to be how tonight plays out for the Miami Heat they’re going to get all these players in exchange for nothing excellent night for Pat Riley in the Miami Heat uh they keep all their players they get all the players that everyone else wants and uh and we give up four picks for Bridges that’s right and you give up all your first round picks for a notime Allstar and the Miami he’d get everyone else but uh Lucy how annoying did you find Mike Ryan as soon as the news filtered through the room that Kevin Durant might be available it’s the most heat interest I’ve seen from him in about a couple of years y’all literally think every single player Under the Sun wants to move to Miami they don’t all right it’s not as fun here as it looks it is under the sun however and he did want to be here we we know it to be true we know he doesn’t like those Sons anymore maybe he likes this one go to the Connecticut son it is time for his St gats to share his game notes no one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy St on a Wednesday huh a Wednesday weekend observations weekend observations brought to you by Miller Light great taste just 96 calories available for delivery Dan last year they came up short in the postseason but I’ve always said you can’t keep a great coach down and behind some of the best players the sport has to offer they got back to work overcoming obstacle after obstacle with the hopes of getting back there to write the ship and Monday night they got their moment Against All Odds they persevered giving their passionate fan base a night they will never forget because For the First Time in their history they were Crown Champions and Dan make no mistake about it just like that Tennessee baseball is back that that was the balls that was an upset yes did you watch any of that Tennessee Florida State game the end of that game Florida state must be so mad at the Umpire I didn’t watch it was an amazing ending oh hold on a second you were watching that game yes no I wasn’t watching that wasn’t the championship game it was over the weekend these weekend observations on a Wednesday yep midweek game three best two words in sports I like the College World Series so do I why I did Leon dyle 40 plus goals in the regular season zero in the Stanley Cup Final you know what the D and dry cidal stands for Dan disappeared donut okay dry Sid all going to save you no he’s not hey Dan you know what the m and Conor McDavid stands for I do not not Mr game seven maybe Mr game four perhaps Mr game five but not and never Mr game seven

mcjesus thought he should rest on the seventh game I liked it Dan let me ask you a question you think Mark Messier would break Canada’s heart the way McD David did do you I do not H you know what the

it was merely Messiah Mr gab s just me or does anyone else feel like the sky play the fever every other night there are only 12 teams in the league so they play each other a lot Tom habro is doing deep dives into Jordan’s defensive stats from 1988 hey Tom get a hobby the ancient habro stands for hobby get one hobby list love you by the way but hobby I mean who does that why are we deep diving into Jordan’s defensive stats from 1988 what are we doing he likes to uncover things uncover a hobby I mean seriously all right I I feel like his hobby is Tommy uncovering doesn’t sound like you love him I do love him but it was a waste of his time it’s his career I don’t care what he unearths then nothing is going to change my opinion that Michael Jordan’s the greatest player and athlete of all time I don’t care you didn’t find the reporting interesting on faked defensive stats how to read it okay but Tommy since you’re diving see if he can find his two MVP awards that somehow went to Barkley and Malone while you’re down there thank you just cuz the voters were bored I hate that that is what happened they just didn’t want to keep giving it to the same guy yic is going to suffer from some of this you think yeah they’re not going to just keep giving it to him they’re going to find reasons to give it to somebody else you have to give it to him though he’s the most valuable player in the league and so was Jordan and Malone and Barkley stole him so if we’re going to Deep dive go find those things I got you all right get a hobby I feel like giving him the award though like if they get mad at him they’d give it to him because of how much he would hate it they can do that too Christian pisc no pisc Captain America that’s easier yeah that’s better Captain America that goal Take a Bow the C and Christian stands for Captain America the p and whatever his last name is still stands for penis cuz the goal went off his penis yes thank you it’s pulisic and the keeper should have done better Alexi Lis criticizes the American team like he did something when he played hey Alexi you didn’t he did he didn’t he they got upset over Colombia what did he do I mean on the heels of that they had did he win anything but he did beat colia no how many World Cups does he have though thank you I’m asking I actually don’t know Z zero it’s zero yeah the US Men’s National Team has won

tournament and play for the people who purchased tickets to that tournament that is a terrible job by Rory it is he missed them he choked that’s right that’s correct I mean imagine seriously throwing a pick six against the Chiefs and you say hey you know what in the game and then you say to your teammates after the game Dan hey you know what next week take it off against Carolina thank you he doesn’t play a team sport though I don’t care I mean Dan people purchase tickets a long time ago to see the best player in the world and he’s not showing up because he choked they didn’t choke anyway I’m so mad about this is he the best player in the world he’s one of the best play players in the world yes Roy should get a ring one of isn’t the same as the best player in the world he is certainly listen any tournament he shows up to he is one of the guys that if you’re going to purchase tickets for the tournament that’s one of the guys you’re going to see he’s C especially with that field it’s a good field but I think he’s the best player in that field I don’t think Scotty’s playing maybe he was getting his Affairs in order Roy should get a ring made me happy to see him happy as hell speaking of Hell AR rils Dan those are the weekend observations the criticism stat is pouring in from all over the Internet Dan saying this Championship was earned is so pathetic he can’t even enjoy the celebration without taking a shot at the Celtics it’s sad really people thought Vegas fans were annoying last year well you guys top them my favorite thing is nobody on this show but Roy caring about the Panthers until like three years ago and now they’re all acting like they’ve waited their whole lives for this moment Peak Miami right there why does Mike Ryan keep saying this Panthers team is or should be considered an all-time great team does he not remember the Red Wings teams from the late ’90s or the Avalanche teams that came after them do you not remember them Mike do you not remember them I did one segment where I said one of the best teams in the 21st century let’s do those great teams how about the Lance though L the Red Wings teams yeah say l were good yeah the Red Wings were also exceptional yeah they’re they’re really good teams love sports man let’s do against the spread do you think his tone was what you read read it as yeah I do yes people are funny why does Mike keep saying this Panthers team is or should be considered an all-time great does he not remember the Red Wings teams of the late 90s well funny voice person those teams should also be considered as alltime teams not taking anything away from anybody you were taking it away from somebody once you give it to somebody else you’re taking it away from somebody just a little piece you took a little bit away from Stevie Eiserman you took a little bit and you you gave it over here you gave it over here to barkov and Eiserman wanted that I saw a lot of smart people calling this the best NHL season of all time if one team ends up winning the championship during the best NHL season of all time maybe they should be considered among the best of all time couldn’t agree more but Dad Is Right isab wants that piece back I’m not taking anything away from isab you are taking it from him peace he wants it he should probably find a goalie that’s what he should do in Detroit because they got a good young team find a goalie Who’s starting us off on against the spread did someone say spread Dan against the spread is sponsored by DraftKings stay tuned because you’ll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show DraftKings the crown is yours we’re going to start out with Mike we’re going to the Mexican baseball league really I’m gambling again really the Mexican baseball league yeah yeah we’re we’re fading perando Flores J and that near 8 ER this is a classic story of good pitcher versus bad pitcher and we’re taking Tabasco against the spread that’s a great name a great name he throw heat does he throw heat tell me throw team name is Tabasco oh everyone throws great name for team yeah Jeremy so we’re going over to uh Euro 2024 and um my great great great grandparents uh lived in the area that is now turkey so we’re taking turkey plus 170 against Czech Republic against the spr Ottoman Empire is why you’re making that odd odd against the spread like turkey sandwiches do we not have anything going on in this country worth better I’m not allowed to gamble on since you said so I’m going to head over to the WNBA wow and I’m going to do something kind of bold I’m feeling a little crazy I think I’m going to take the fever plus eight at the storm now the storm have been one of the best teams all season I know the fever are coming off a loss but it was a five-game win streak before they’re starting to figure things out I don’t think the fever win but I think they cover against the sprad love you Kay Dan a little something I like to call the Subway series the Mets the Yankees City Field Mets one game one Yanks have lost two straight they have lost three consecutive series by the way they’re starting to panic in New York the Met ten gri stra they have lost two straight and they are starting to panic there’s well three and three straight series and Grimace Grimace is Mets are 10- two I am taking the Mets plus one in a half minus 155 the New York Mets again sprad minus 155 to get the the run to get the to get plus one and a half yeah so the Yankees can win by one you still win okay but now will you play all right list if you don’t like it that way I’ll take him plus 105 okay but that’s money it’s different that was against a uh the uh poll that we had up did the Monopoly man ever have a monacle 77% of the people say he did have a monacle even though this is an example of the Mandela effect uh Jeremy do you have any other good examples of the Mand effect for us uh hello Clarice not a line ever said in the Silence of the Lambs nope good morning hello individually no hello Clarice there’s also uh some people believe that they’ve seen the Mona Lisa frowning um that is not the case the Mona Lisa does not frown um the biggest one is the baron stain Bears uh everyone remembers them as the baron Steen Bears a Jewish bear family um but in fact they are actually the baren stain bears and have always been people thought that there was a switch at one point in time but nope they have always been the baron stain Bears thank you Lucy are you excited at all about uh the NBA draft the draft is upon us uh the sports calendar does not stop it moves very quickly and I suspect the transactions are the transactions are going to engulf everybody the next couple of days no I’m more worried about the other draft into the military Oh I thought you were talking about the sphere in Vegas NHL draft at the sphere so there’s a bill that has been passed in the house that’s probably going to go through the Senate soon I don’t know I didn’t really pay attention to School House Rock but so basically the rule has been that like men are automatically eligible for the draft and like entered at War time well guess who they’re adding to that women and I am not cool with this so I wanted to come on this show and campaign why I would be a really bad choice for the Army because I’m still in the age range I still have about a year left before they wouldn’t draft me I cannot be in the army me because one I’m just not cut out for it I’m anti-war two can’t keep a secret I’ll tell the spies everything if I get captured even the threat of anything I will tell them I don’t even care they don’t even have to ask I’ll just tell them okay I get Tummy issues when I’m anxious I know if I’m in the battlefield I will be so so anxious my hair looks terrible pulled back in a tight bun it will not work for anyone this is just not a good fit if you work for the government don’t put my name on there all all right I am not good I cannot fight for this country okay not because you don’t believe in it or pieces of its principles just because you’re not made for war well I don’t like War but I didn’t agree to any other stuff you just said there yeah all right I just really don’t want to wear my hair back and Camo does not look good on me either that’s not my color wheel if it were blue I’d consider it all right uh so the US government the Navy should not never mind take it back so don’t draft Jessica do not draft h

Sam Morrill is here to share his thoughts on the HUGE trade for the New York Knicks as they acquired Mikal Bridgers to complete their Villanova superteam in exchange for a massive haul of picks.

Stugotz shares his weekend observations on a Wednesday which include his top five athletes that connote things you would find in a barn and what happened to his Twitter account.
