What is Trending: Utah Jazz rally in Summer League | PG13 ‘disrespected’ by Clippers | Joe Burrow…
it’s time to get your morning started with the news you need to know news update news update this is what’s trending with DJ and PK # NBA I never wanted to leave la la is home this is where I wanted to finish at I wanted to work as hard as possible to win one in La like that was the goal to be here as it played out though like the first initial deal was was I thought kind of disrespectful Pippen has it waiting coming off a pick is laravia they deny Pippen backs up now trying edting the post not there Pippen drives to the basket misses Edy missed the jam follow loose ball Collier Coler to the basket fouled he’ll get two free throws with 3.8 seconds left Zach Edy had a jam follow to put the Grizzlies up by one with 6 seconds left and he missed the D free throws good now how about this for drama a free throw to Win It crowds on their feet here’s Keon takes a dribble for the victory got it the largest cheer ever for a free throw ever Paul George on his La Saga highlights from the summer league opener [Music] I love the target score in overtime rather than the clock you got to make a play yach couldn’t put all the highlights in there there were so many things I mean it’s a summer league game I want to say that it’s a summer league game there were so many awesome things that happened yes Zach Edy at 74 not getting blocked out because the shot blocker had gone over to challenge Pippin uh and it sounds weird to say that but it’s Scotty Pippen Jr and he went over to CH just so there’s no one to block him out and need he do the right thing he went right to the boards like he’s been taught since he was you know whatever grade in elementary school and he grabs it to dunk it because he’s 74 and he barely has to jump and he slams it off the back of the rim no one could believe it the arena erupted it was on fire it was unbelievable jez get the rebound run down get fouled hit the free throws to go up by three you can’t let him shoot a three you got a foul they did 8/10 of a second left make the first missed the second tip it in and Edie did it he shoved Kesler under the hoop like Kesler was in the third grade if that doesn’t motivate Walker Kessler in the wait room every day for the rest of this year nothing ever will I mean that was a large strong human being shoved him under the rim like a ragd doll but nonetheless you got shoved under the rim like a ragd doll so it goes to overtime and it’s tied at 95 and they get the ball and they got a breakaway one on none this is a layup BR dunk to win the game and they call timeout oops total chaos but it all ended well ke George hit the free throws and won the game keti had 30 we got ask the right questions here when we ask is he a better is he better as the as the lead guard the aka the point guard handling the ball or is he better playing off the ball his job is to score he can score it it’s like now given the matchup in any given game is what’s better and who else ultimately did the Jazz have on the roster do they have someone who has to play off the ball do he someone who is way way better on the ball how a roster is constructed around him and does this matter in the long run is he a piece in a long run or is he the kind of player that you have to include when you go big game hunting all good questions that we will not solve in this segment I just think prioritize getting him shots and if that means he needs a ball in his hand because he comes off the pick and roll and scores like Donovan Mitchell did great if he needs to play off the ball like marinin does great just make sure he scores and I like him getting to the free throw line good work I also thought that Collier had a good first game it’s one game of Summer League I don’t want to make any deep pronouncements here but I thought that was solid he scored it a little passed it grab some boards I think it’s 14 six and six for him nice I liked it and more than that I just thought the eyeball test I thought he looked like he belonged he fit it was good I that he was a guy that kind of jumped out at me in that regard both teams shot the ball terribly summer league is so ragged 40% shooting for both teams can you make 33% of your threes no you can’t no you can’t I mean it was just terrible shooting but it was dramatic it was fun hopefully it’ll be that much fun tonight Jazz are back in action against the Thunder 7 o00 hear the game right here in the zone Grizzlies and Sixers play at 5 and the game’s on local TV the game’s on national TV it’s on cable it’s over the air it’s on the radio it’s ESPN 2 tonight if you’re looking for the ESPN 2 okay and then they’ll stream it on ESPN Plus for people who don’t have a TV and stream but it’s free over the air on kjzz it’s on Jazz plus and it’s right here on the zone five different outlets look at that Paul George now you heard his thing there so basically what it comes down to is the Clippers are looking at a guy who’s in his 30s thinking okay how long can he be good when do we have to break up the band they offer him two years $60 million and it’s true life is a negotiation but you can’t have people feeling like they’re low ball and disrespected and I know 60 million is a lot of money a lifetime of money but if someone else is going to offer you over 200 million and someone else is offer you 60 no matter what you make if you have a chance to more than triple your money you’re on Yak loves it here somebody offers to more than triple his money with a job radio he going to blow a kiss he’s going to give us a big wave he’s going to head out the door and P and I are going to do this where it go yach way to Triple your money good for you Boston Celtics star Jason Tatum said the NBA title run has lifted a weight off his shoulder announcer says I bet it has I don’t doubt that Tatum says just uh being a topic of discussion so many debates or whatever can he lead a team is he a top five player there’s a lot of things I guess they can debate but now I’ve done something they can’t debate I’ve won a championship having that under my belt like obviously it’s still conversations to be had or whatever people want to say but they always got to refer to me as an NBA champion spot on take right there can you get a second that separates you from people who have one and then you start getting into the multiple three four five hey Shaq has four yeah well Kobe has five Duncan has five MJ has six yeah can you get yourself up there with the all-timers he’s playing in Boston this stuff really really matters to Celtic fans it’s why it’s a great place to play it’s why the building is full they got a ton of History they got all those banners all those retired numbers it’s part of the deal and he’s had to put up with it he’s overcome it and got a title so he’s spot on now let’s look to the Future the question is are we looking to the Utah Jazz future Cooper flag projected to be the number one pick in next year’s draft is on the US select team the select team basically they select a team of really good players to go play the Olympic team to get them ready for the Olympics Cooper flag is shining Jamal Mosley the US select team coach Miami he forward haime hakz Jr he kicked butt here Mosley said ha hakz Jr to be able to do what he did not even playing a college game let alone an NBA game there’s no fear it’s Relentless and the thing you can tell about him is he just has a knack and the will to win he doesn’t need the ball he finds a way to it and the ball finds a way to him that’s something you can’t teach he’s just got a great feel for the game there are more quotes but this is why Cooper flag is a number one Prospect he’s 17 years old by the way everybody and he’s still 17 he hasn’t played the college game it’s 17 you think oh he’s 17 he’s getting rid of college he’s physically immature compared to the other well he’s not when you see him he looks like a big time athlete but he is younger than the people he’s going against that does make it a little more impressive and ultimately it all evens out and you know when you’re 27 playing a 30-year-old nobody cares just win but he was really good against the best so this is why people want the number one pick this is why teams might sag for flag going the pooper for Cooper they want to capture FL capture that’s the one I like the best I’m Le that I saw that one yesterday I had not seen that before maybe it’s been out there and I missed it they want to capture the flag yes we have a winner everybody else move over who will Capture the Flag well we got that to look at to and we got it he’s playing for Duke so we know he’s going to be on TV at least 20 times I mean a few of their money games won’t be on but most of their games are on DJ and PK # basketball the UT had a three star Prospect ibraim Tori part of their 2024 signing class TR is a native of and had previously committed to Oregon while prepping at West Oaks Academy in Florida I guess talking to Oregon and committing to them means you’re a pretty good player because they’re pretty good at identifying Talent if they spent the time on you you probably got something there You’ like to think I mean Oregon misses like everybody else but Oregon hits more than most they’ve had not the best program in the west but one of the better ones and put Oregon kind of on the top shelf if you’re looking for half dozen programs with UCLA Arizona Gonzaga last couple years San Diego State and Oregon’s had a good run over the last decade so probably some optimism there for the youths who have to add a lot of players and maybe they got maybe they got one guy right there who can help them DJ and PK # NFL do you think people have forgotten about Joe burrow I believe that that’s what happens when you get hurt though you don’t play football people forget about you but again that’s part of the game you don’t if you’re not out there and people aren’t watching you then there’s nothing to talk about so I’m going to give people to talk about something to talk about this year well I’m excited about I haven’t forgotten about Joe Burl if I had to rank quarterbacks he’s certainly well I was going to say he’s in the top group but he’s not because the top group is Patrick Mahomes full stop he’s number one I’d rank burrow 2 and you can make a case for Josh Allen turns it over too much uh you can make a case for Jaylen Herz uh you can make a case for Lamar Jackson uh there you know that that’s kind of the next Group after momes maybe put Stafford in there but he’s getting older think of our picking quarterbacks Joe burrow is the is the second guy I trust but he’s got to stay healthy I mean he’s been hurt multiple times he takes too many hits It’s been a story since he went to the Bengals they not good enough and then it was the story that line is not good enough I mean they got receivers they got two great receivers but the line isn’t good enough he gets sacked too much he gets hit he’s going to get hurt and he has been hurt and now he’s been hurt multiple times to me that’s the only story line if he’s if they can prop him up and he can throw the ball I trust that guy to move a team up and down the field Big [Music] Time veteran pass rusher Jerry Hughes is coming back for a 15th NFL season season signed with the Houston Texas Houston Texans it’ll be his third season in Houston he has 70 career sacks he had three of them last year there’s a story at TCU coach wants to move in defensive end and he calls home Dad coach wants to move I move defensive van what does coach say uh he says uh I should play defensive van and I can go to the NFL son you better listen to your coach wise advice right there 15 years as a d lineman that is a sensation run Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback cam Sutton has been suspended eight games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy and he is not appealing the decision he’s entering a pre- diversion program in April to resolve a domestic violence case he was cut by the Detroit Lions after a warrant for his arrest was issued you know these things these are Way Beyond football people or whatever the sport is baseball basketball soccer golf tennis what does the legal system say and if the penalties aren’t stringent enough then we have to lean on our politicians and make the penalties more stringent I’ve never thought that teams which clearly have other objectives their businesses they’re not trained to do this they’re not schooled to do this they don’t have experience doing this and then when they do it wrong we look at them and why do these guys do it wrong well they’re not trained they’re not schooled they don’t have experience and over here they’re running a business trying to win and trying to make money and then they make a bad decision and we’re surprised why would we be surprised to have to lean on our politicians so the court system dishes out a punishment that we all think is appropriate and then when you’re done with that whatever that turns out to be then you get to re-enter society and go have a job and do whatever cuz teams are going to keep messing this up I mean there’s just no way around that DJ and PK # colge football Big 12 media days is get underway later this morning all 16 teams set to speak and appear various formats coaches go to a Podium microphones and all that players are wandering around the perimeter coaches do scrums sometimes of these things and so you got to listen all day it’s a little chaotic okay that’s not true the people there last year said it was way way C just crazy chaotic the the Pack 12 not very good at TV deals but really good at running IMM media the Big 12 better at signing the obvious TV deal lousy at running the media day it’s going to be chaotic the commissioner is supposed to speak to kick things off at about 11:00 mountain time and Kyle has got a time like 1:20 in the afternoon BYU’s tomorrow you’re going to hear it all day here on the zone and remember I know you can’t most of you some of you probably can you entrepreneurs but most of you can’t block out all day but you can go back search wherever you get your podcast and you can find our coverage and it’ll be there we’ll rerun some of the best stuff early tomorrow morning and then we’ll be at it again tomorrow day two in Las [Music] Vegas the story for the UTS yesterday was that they announced a deal with the Miami Hurricanes the youu will’ll be playing the you 2027 season open in Las Vegas 2027 sounds a long way away but the kids going into their freshman year right now will be seniors in 2027 and they’ll still have their redard senior year and then their bonus medical year and then whatever year the NCA gives them after that so they’ll be like halfway through their college career on the way to being a 7eventh year 26y old [Music] quarterback they probably even aren’t at Utah and Miami right now because they probably have to transfer twice I have seen a lot on social media we started the year Miami why do you even have the U Miami m i a m i don’t tell me it’s a u for University everybody’s got Universe senior title all that nonsense will go back and forth people think it’ll be real confusing to the game no the game’s in Las Vegas tens of thousands of you fans will go hundreds of Miami fans will fly let me tell you living in a sun Bel Market I know a little something about this when you live in some glorious place like San Diego Miami your urge to travel for sports drops when you live somewhere bitter cold like Wisconsin you load up your motor home and you follow them to Arizona or California or Texas or Florida whatever their bowl game is it’s amazing there’s 50,000 people here yeah the weather’s terrible we’re going some place glorious Miami doesn’t draw that well at home I can’t imagine they going to fly 20,000 people across the country to Las Vegas that’s going to be a Utah home game it’s going to be on the ESPN family of network sometime on Labor Day weekend depending on how good the teams are and how good they’re expected to be when we get there they’ll uh they’ll give it a time slot and a date but somewhere on the ESPN family of networks and maybe it’ll be the game moved to Monday we’ll have to see how it plays out but hey it’s a good game it’s a brand name it’s essentially a home game I mean the has really benefited because people have to go there for bowl games they have to go down there for these season openers in Atlanta and Dalles way way closer for uh Bama fans and Texas fans than it is for anybody else haven’t gone to that Utah Texas bowl game in San Antonio 45 minutes up the road there’s a thousand UD fans and look at that from Texas everybody’s in burnt orange so I would think everybody would be in red in that game in Vegas in a few years all right stick around Big 12 media days coming up coaches players the conference commission about 11 o’ PK will be uh live and well we’ll see we could see guests as early as 8:30 we’ll see how early people get there and get through security there’s a few questions about that this morning it’s the first time it’s been at Allegiance so everybody’s a little curious how this is going to work but a lot of Big 12 talk coming your way throughout the day right here on the zone and then wherever you get your podcast whenever it’s convenient for you DJ and PK # major league baseball and a fly Ball Deep Right Center field heading back to the wall here comes some smoke we got a tie ball game a home run by Murphy and here’s the next delivery he lifts this one high in the air this Ball’s hit well out into dead center field and it is gone just like that two batters in Texas has a two nothing lead kley to the plate Hines drives it high and deep to left field well hit and way out of here into the second deck Reese Hines unloads with his first first big league home run Reed’s first big league home run is a 449 ft shot Red’s going to beat the rocky six to nothing why can’t it just be 450 I mean do we really know I don’t even know with these when it comes down is it 449 to where it lands or do they project where it would have landed because most of these balls are going to land 15 20 30 40 50 ft in the air they’re using the stat cast thing that projecting where like the angle of it and everything to where it would land if it came back down to the ground exactly cuz then just round it to 450 cuz you don’t really know just give it to him give the kid the 450 450 you’re right 449 somebody hates the rookie what did he do in doublea ball that somebody’s holding a grudge give the man the 450 Reds beat the Rocky 6 nothing the Rockies are terrible I mean I’m really curious are the Rockies terrible because of the way they run and then that’s just their organization and when if when I I’m leaning towards a win when Major League Baseball comes to Salt Lake City separate deal separate organization run by different people or or you put the game’s best at elevation there’s less resistance on the breaking stuff and it’s hard to get great pitching because nobody wants to make half their starts in that because they’re going to get paid off their stats and their stats aren’t going to be as good and you’re at a Perpetual disadvantage because of the elevation I do not know the answer to this question I wish I did I know what we see in Triple A baseball but I know Triple A baseball is different because the pitchers aren’t getting to choose largely where they get to go pitch and there’s multiple places at elevation Reno’s elevation is about the same Albuquerque’s elevation Colorado Springs is even higher you can go up and down the list right now when there’s only one or two of you in the big leagues and free agency matters what happens where do pitchers want to be the Rockies have largely been awful there was a great playoff run once upon a time but man it was a lot of losing seasons and a lot of hopeless just you look at the roster and right out of the gate it confirms yeah they’re no good I mean this team if you didn’t know by May it’s CU you didn’t care by May everybody knew yeah the Rockies are no good it’ll be fun to have baseball it would be like hockey it’ll be new it’ll be exciting and then the newness wears off and the question becomes well do you win how often and how big I hope it’s not the elevation thing it might be I hope it’s not also in there you heard Cory Seager go deep a 457 foot home run totally different than 449 completely a different thing not even remotely 8T different Rangers beat the Angels 9 to4 so what’s the Angels problem good grief I mean they’re in Southern California it’s glorious they got a good fan basee why why why can’t they get it figured out the Atlanta Braves rally to beat the Diamondbacks 5 to four Shawn Murphy game timeing Homer two out in the ninth Marcel Ozuna RBI sack fly in the 11th and the Braves get the win Paul goldi went yard Cardinals shut out the Nationals six to nothing oh I forgot to mention in that Red’s Rockies game I don’t know if you saw these highlights y did you see ell De La Cruz second year player first time Allstar Chopper to the mound he’s at third he comes home Fielder Fields a cleanly gets it home but the chopper had just enough height on it had to wait for it to come down you’re not on a pogo stick out there you can’t go get it does anybody know what a pogo stick is was that a fat is that over did that end poo stick’s a thing when you were a kid yeah they were they’re still oh they still thing but not to the level they once were well anyway he came it was an exciting play and he goes in head first which can always lead to injuries got to be careful you’re can wreck your shoulder you can wreck your hands fingers but he went in head first beat the throw that was six nothing so it didn’t really matter but the guy just makes the game exciting standing around waiting for someone to hit a 449 ft home run that’s fun while the ball is in the air and we’re all oing and a how long it’s going but you can only have so many of those in a game you got to have people playing small ball making the game exciting it’s entertainment it needs to be entertaining and Ellie De La Cruz looking at a chopper and making the instant decision making the instant decision baseball IQ can I make it yes bang he goes I mean that guy runs like the wind head first beautiful bees off last night back in Action Sacramento rivercats tonight 6:35 coverage begins at 620 Tony Puck I was talking to Tony

intrigued by the Drone shows I haven’t seen one in person but I saw a couple of them on social media over the 4th of July and they were pretty cool they were doing enormous designs in the sky like fireworks all you know the radio station will partner up and there’ll be music and you’ll listen and all that and so some people on the fourth did drone shows instead of the fireworks as uh as Tony
