beard the gray is out this is how I vacation big fella I don’t worry about personal maintenance or taking care of my looks I’m not trying to impress anybody when I’m on vacation so you this how I look not like you look bad I don’t know I’m kind of rough dude I feel like Tom Hanks and Castaway or something like that wison welcome back you had a great time obviously dude epic trip man amazing went down to Cabo me and the kids did some uh horseback riding on the beach oo did some ATVs uh rode the ATVs did some snorkeling as well and so uh no man had a blast it was amazing didn’t lose your wallet again did you did not did not lose my wallet didn’t lose the passports I was good man I was on top of it first thing I thought of when you said horseback riding on the beach I know the last time you were at the beach I could just see that thing popping out that happened one time why are you gonna let me live this down or what big fell that happened one time yeah you guys miss me yes glad you’re back and you gotta be thrilled about today’s news huh what thrilled about the report from Matt Moore Action Network you honestly haven’t seen this I haven’t seen this okay this is just this afternoon the Sacramento Kings are going bear with me going back to the well with the same trade package they offered Toronto twice for anobi and Pascal yakum the offer includes Barnes herder big compensation they’re known they’re known to have had calls with Chicago involving Zack LV and Alex guso how about that now who’s this Yahoo again this is Matt Moore Kings would love to keep Malik Monk and will offer him the max they can at four years 78 million they realistically won’t be able to match offers from teams like Detroit Charlotte Orlando that in part is what makes LaVine more attractive to them at a discounted price after his trade market value hit Rock Bottom at the deadline so this is a newort got look this guy up hold on after talks at the deadline what’s follow I’ll tell you all about Matt Moore in a second but first listen to this the kings are expected to renew conversations with Washington for Kyle kozma especially with the Wizards potentially adding a front Court starter in the draft later this month that’s action networks Matt Moore June 18 2024 what’s what’s what’s his handle Jake what’s his Twitter handle I think it’s actually Action Network Action Network something like that Matt Morris covered I knew you were going to ask so I actually got his bio n but I I don’t if I don’t follow him Jay I I don’t uh I don’t put much stock in them I’ll say this though Dre before you go because you’re on vacation so let me just go in there jump in front before I take a step back is that ain’t no reporting we all know that that’s that’s what I’m trying to say that’s that going over right that’s what I’m saying I’m trying to figure out the news here and I did not see that tweet you got the Tweet right there Whitey no this was not a tweet but I have it bio and by the way I do think it’s news if they’ve had calls if they’ve had calls with Chicago we’re talking about since the trade deadline and if they’re expected to go back to Washington that’s a little more let me say this Whitey let me say let me just say this first Matt mois covered the NBA for 17 years Mor as an NBA awards voter in 2017 yeah is that on his bio he’s considered one of the leading analysts online when it comes to the MVP race all right here’s the here’s the thing hardwood Paradox uh par Paradox isms hardwood yeah oh that that okay yeah yeah yeah I’ve heard of that one I don’t think I followed them but here’s the thing we like Jay said we knew that I don’t bring up Zack leine like it’s uh just some wish or something like that it makes total sense now the problem is you know when you look at talks with Chicago if you try to include Alex Caruso that’s where I think we fall short in terms of a package because Alex Caruso by himself could fetch a couple of first rounders and so now you’re telling me Caruso and Zack LaVine I could see us trying to get both of them in terms of being realistic because that’s what I am watch I’m not a trade machine guy I’m not a pie in the sky fan in my grandma’s basement I’m telling you the real deal how front offices operate why would Chicago do that package that we just mentioned well I don’t know that they would but they answer your question it’s because they want to get out from under Zack lavine’s deal so if they get uh somebody to take that deal off their hands and they get draft pick comp compensation they like they might consider it now you I gotta say this you’re not going to like what Jay and I were saying yesterday about the king standard offer which seems to be Barnes and herder plus draft pick compensation a story came out yesterday Michael Scotto reported that the kings are believed to be according to GMS the kings are offering Harrison Barnes and Kevin herder it’s like they’ve been offering that for a long time right yeah that’s like what do we say Jay that’s like the Toyota like the strip Toyota Corolla base package yes exactly the guys like that I hear you right it’s been out there that package is one of those packages that you have in your back pocket right you know if you need it it’s there if that’s the package that’s been offered at the trade deadline too and so if teams aren’t biting on it then right why would they bite on it now right that’s that’s my concern I will say this and I did see the report about ogan and Obi not being happy with what the Knicks might be offering in ter terms of a new contract is that a guy that we might be able to get in the mix for Pascal seak put that out of your mind Kings fans that’s not going to happen how do we get OG how could we a trade situation uh so like a signning trade or signning trade because he’s he’s asking for it like the next might give him 35 and he wants more right he wants more 35 million yeah he’s not he’s not worth he’s not worth that right he wants his 46 he’s not worth four I guess what read yesterday I forget who wrote it now the floor for him is like 35 and the and the ceiling is a max deal and a lot of teams are going well we might give him 35 we not giving him a max deal looks like maybe that’s what he’s hoping to get something more like that yeah but if you’re if you’re the Knicks and he’s not gonna it behooves you to try to get a little something of a sign and tree yeah now ogan and Obi meanwhile it the ball is totally in his court if he wants to come to sacr he can force the hand meaning you know what Kings I want to come there make it happen sign and trade but he has to want to come here now that would be a guy I think could fit and I would be happy with he’s unrestricted right yeah unrestricted right but it have to be like he wanted to go to Boston or the Lakers like some team and that’s the only team he wants to sign with sort of like uh almost sort of like Carmelo did with the Knicks if you forced his way by way of trade Anthony Davis forced his way by way of trade OG could say the team I want to sign with is the Sacramento Kings they don’t have the space can we do a sign and trade it would behoove the Knicks to do it because they’re gonna lose him to somebody no matter what it would behoove the Kings to do it because you get a guy like anobi you know but that’s only if he wants to do it he wants to do it and Sacramento is his destination yeah dude I’m still in vacation mode Let’s let’s call it what it is right now Whitey I got my shirt on I got the beard people are saying drapes you just hopped off the plane no I came back yesterday but this is the Father’s Day gift from my daughter oh that’s nice so I said you know what I’mma rocket today for my baby girl at home who’s my sweetheart so that’s why I got this shirt on today trying to think if it goes with the headphones close not quite I tell you what she loved the headphones she used my headphones all this week really oh yeah all all last week she used the headphones I’m about to show show you the picture so you can uh and I might put this on my social media account on IG hav’t you already I I dude I I’ve been busy Jay I’m about to post I’m I just got it last night big fella she just gave it to me because it came too late let me show you real quick Whitey a picture man she got the matching dress and I got the shirt and so this is Father’s Day that show up here I don’t know it might not show up I know it might not show up beautiful dude I’m trying I’m trying to get some more followers so I’m going people to my Ig page Kyle Draper TV I’m about to post it right now go check it out but uh yeah that’s why I’m wearing the shirt today and in honor of my daughter I thought you’d be more excited by this I’m excited because the off season’s finally here officially now the Boston takes care of Dallas so we know the kings are gonna start doing something we think I think they have to do something right uh Jay again thinks they may be able to wait it out till the deadline we kicked that around yesterday I understand where coming from but I don’t think your fan basee would stand for that I don’t think so and and and here’s the thing you know we’re watching the Celtics win the championship we’ll talk about that we’re watching all these teams go for it and this off season there are going to be plenty of big names being moved Jay says you know what maybe at the off uh trade deadline the guys we want might not be available then Jay the guys we want might be moved now Zack LaVine kuso all these guys that I’ve been mentioning before Now’s the Time I feel like to strike because too when you look at it teams don’t have a lot of cap space I don’t think teams have uh you know if you’re talking about trading draft picks this is the pick that you want to trade you don’t want to trade next years or two years or four years this is the pick that you want to trade and so I think the kings are in their strongest position is right now mhm in terms of their assets uh of all the moves Boston made to become Champions we’ll tell you what the boldest was and we’ll continue this Kings offseason trade conversation or free aging conversation when we come right back to sack Down Sports it’s the ride everybody wants to be driving and Elk grve Kia has them in stock right now I’m talking

that’s a great play by dearon Fox hey Sacramento it’s dearon Fox and you’re listening to the home of the Kings sack Town Sports your local sports [Music] leader your afternoon home for Kings talk and so much more the drive guys on sack toown Sports congratulations to the world champion Boston Celtics we’re going to talk about the Kings all off season long talk about bold moves they could make before we get back to that I just want to say to me of all the moves Boston made on their way to becoming Champions the boldest move was hiring Joe Missoula and then sticking with him after last year oh yeah let me turn on my mic here oh yeah I think so when everybody including myself I know when everybody including myself thought they should get rid of Joe Missoula thought he was a clown thought he was in over his head they stuck with him and give them credit and we’ll talk about Boston in their run in a minute here they surrounded him with capable assistance and we got to look at last year his first year on the job remember he got thrust into the the role eme udoka got canned you know right before media day you know right before Camp was supposed to start and Joe Missoula at 34 years old was thrust into the spotlight now you surround him with a Charles Lee a Sam Cassel veteran guys who have been around and you know I will say I feel like Missoula has matured in the job from a coaching standpoint he used to notoriously fail to call timeouts now he’s quick with his timeouts there are some little things that he did throughout the season that showed me he learned from his mistakes in year one so kudos to him and the organization for getting it done yeah so your son must have been happy last night huh dude it was terrible it was ter hey here’s the thing about the Celtics people are like drapes you got to be happy your guys like I’m for Al Horford I’m happy for Jason Tatum I’m happy for my guy Jaylen Brown these guys were like family you know they took pictures with my kids they did great things with my kids like my kids grew up loving them the fan base ownership you know but you know my my kids they are they bleed Green Man and we got home last night from Cabo my son first thing he did was run upstairs throw on his jayen brown Jersey his Celtic shorts his green hat and came down yeah like they are stoked he’s like Dad can we fly home for the parade I’m like you got parade money no we can’t fly we just went to kabo we can’t but no so they’re stoked man they are fired up what’s the owner’s name Wick gr gr yeah did you hear when uh Lisa cters goes and now here’s W gr he goes thank you Michelle Michelle I tell you Michelle who’s Michelle I did hear that and I was driving home and so I was listening on the radio and I thought did I hear what I just like so I got home and everybody’s like yeah Wicked is crazy man he got caught up in a moment yeah Doris Burke caught some flak for I thought she said something that was insightful and funny and a lot of people coming after today there was a foul on porzingis he got kind of thrown down or or maybe he flopped she goes man if that was Kaitlin Clark we’d be talking about this for two weeks that’s not funny what is she oh bring back van gundi no that was her best line the entire series thought entire season season right and because she’s 100% right too she’s 100% right but the thing about Caitlyn Clark and I know you guys have talked about it anytime she’s brought up it brings out a a certain level of discourse that no other athlete like Caitlyn Clark is so polarizing and it’s not because of anything she’s actually done people are taking sides no matter what and and so anytime you mention her name people are up in arms about it you think Zack lavine’s gonna be polarizing this offseason I tell you what among Kings fans he shouldn’t be polarizing he should be and remember I had the D list a couple of weeks ago yes he was at the top of my list Zack LaVine number one John Collins number two I think Zack LaVine just answers so many questions and people are saying well drapes what about his contract here’s the thing we aren’t going to have a 40 to 50 million guy because we can’t just go out there and sign that guy maybe Keegan Murray gets the you know Max in his second contract but to win a championship you got to have upper level guys and when you have that that comes with upper level contracts and I think Zack lavine’s that guy here’s what the great Matt Moore says about the potential acquisition of Zack LaVine he says making salaries work in a potential LaVine trade would require as we said the likes of Barnes herder while adding another player like Trey Lyles Sasha ven kov would also be needed to make the money work Chicago will of course likely seek draft compensation as well so the Kings would have to part with their lottery pick maybe future picks as well adding lavine’s remaining 137.84 the final year which you fig probably gonna pick up up would tie up most of Sacramento’s cap space in three players Fox LaVine and domas uh lavine’s addition to the Kings could also impact Sacramento’s ability to retain Keegan Murray who will become a restricted free agent following the 2526 season so again this isn’t SE this is just reporting this isn’t someone saying they should get him or they shouldn’t just saying this is what it would require so yeah um let me say something about what you just read please and please repeat it if you will yeah uh about Keegan Murray it could impact is that what they say yes sir there’s only one go ahead I’m sorry no that’s fine Sacramento’s it could impact Sacramento’s ability to retain Keegan Murray who will become a restricted free following 2526 season says Matt Moore why why Matt Moore why would it impact Keegan Murray do you think I’m just asking I’m just a not trying to diss M Matt Moore or any I’m just saying why do you think it would impact Keegan Murray in the ability to resign him the only thing I could think of since he’s they drafted him and they can pay him what they want he would be implying that um Sacramento might be a little reluctant to dip into the you know the luxury tax now that’s that you can pay Keegan Murray whatever he was right right and to me that sounds like will ownership be willing to do that yeah and if we’re not then are we serious about winning and you know if if you you know it’s like in baseball Whitey when you got the Dodgers and the Yankees spending x amount of dollars and you’re the A’s and the Pirates and the Marlins try to compete I mean you can’t compete with those big dogs you can’t I mean sure there have been teams you know the Diamond Backs who you know aren’t up there in terms of payroll with those guys but to play with the big boys you got to spend some money look at the Celtics payroll they’re about to resign Derek white also to hundred and something million dollar kind they’re gonna have Tatum a $300 million contract Jaylen Brown a 300 million Drew holiday30 140 Derek white 100 and something mil to play with the big boys you got to spend money and if bringing in Zack LaVine impacts he get Murray then what are we doing yeah then what are we doing you know an interesting side note to all this as we look at maybe Zack LaVine maybe uh Kyle kosma Kyle kozma’s contract is not that bad what is he 20 something million yeah yeah it’s not bad and you’re a kozma guy you’re high on I’m everybody now let’s get them all yeah yeah I you see how good Boston is yeah yeah but here’s the thing and and let me ask you this when I look at what the Celtics did look at the type of player they brought in the Drew holidays the Derek white even Chris absp porzingis to a lesser extent can we see Kyle kozman making that sort of impact in terms of like those guys fit in seamlessly they brought an edge a toughness what does Kyle kosma bring to the table for us he brings length he brings uh he’s a dynamic score he’s not as consistent a shooter as they would need him to be but he also just makes you better because he upgrades your talent level that’s to me is the main thing they have to do see I I think with Kyle kozma tremendous talent and you’re right everything you said is 100% right upgrade the talent tremendous score I just look at him versus Zack LaVine and the way they play to me Zack LaVine has more of a Killer Instinct in him the way Zack LaVine I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Zack LaVine smile on the basketball court Zack LaVine is about his business on the court sure you you can say oh he’s hurt drapes he hasn’t won or his contract but when he’s in those lines and when he’s playing he’s trying to win basketball games yes and I’m not saying Kyle kman isn’t I’m just saying Zack LaVine has a more uh how should I put it businesslike approach than I think Kyle kosma you know how I feel about kosma as opposed to LaVine but right now I think the Kings this tells me this report tells me that kings are open to Bringing both in and I think yes I don’t right now to me it isn’t necessarily about one or the other because let’s be honest you know you look at the West how tough it is is either one of those guys especially if you lose leag you bring in one of those guys are you really that much better off a little maybe mow Maybe yeah so you almost need both you definitely need more than one addition right you need to do two or three things and we’ve talked about that do you think we have the assets to get both those guys it depends uh the Chicago thing is is key right yeah are they really just trying to dump or not yeah and if yeah how much how much you’d have to give up to get Zack LaVine because Washington either one of those is imminently doable but I know what you’re saying because draft picks would probably been involved in both deals do you have enough to satisfy both deals and how about salary Whitey if you’re let’s say you trade for a Zack LaVine you still got to make the salary sort of comparable and what are we talking about HB herder all right so already gone I already traded him for Zack LaVine right that’s what what are we going to do toot 22 that yeah that’s the said Bas L but that’s the thing we are let’s say and I don’t agree with that assessment Jay let me just say that but J wouldn’t even give me a CD player Y no CD at TR he got the no man you know he would yeah electronic locks you got roll up the window to man B but here’s the thing if you move those guys to Chicago for Zack Len because of salary purposes what assets do we have to swing to Washington that’s what I’m concerned about we sweeten it with picks but then you got include 171 18 million in salary also who else you getting rid of basically we’re gutting the team other than three guys Keegan dearin and domas to acquire two guys I think that’s right damn and but and fellas remember this this is the when you dig this deep you have to make sure that these are the Right Moves because you’re going to give up your next three to five years draft picks which means nothing’s coming the next two guys that you choose the stars or you know French guy not French guys but third star Guys somebody that you believe is going to make an impact you have to be right with these yeah like you can’t miss if you miss yeah you miss you’re not going to win a championship so you got to really be kind of going at this and knowing the two or three next two stars that you add are the ones that you believe are going to take you to the championship Mark cubin said something when he was talking about Dallas and the moves they made and how they worked out he said I just did not see a path for us just to be patient and I think that’s where the kings are right now so my my point is you may have to assume a little more risk than you’d normally like to because we’re not sure they’re the right guys we’re not sure it would fit there’s reason enough to think it could so we have to do it D does that sound familiar now you left for vacation and come back and look who’s on our side look who has come to the dark side exactly exactly we got to get this done like this next like next week is the draft fellas yeah we know that right next week free agency has basically already started and we won’t get any Malik news trust me on that it makes no sense for Malik to commit right now that would scare me actually we could talk about that too if Malik doesn’t commit over the next 13 days what does that tell us oh I think they already know ah I know what it tells them and I think that’s one of the things that makes LaVine more attractive to you I Malik I need Zack LaVine more yes yes you if we lose Malik and don’t get a replacement or somebody better we’ve taken a major step back and we’re you know fighting for a playin spot again yeah what does drapes s of the big fellow who was just working out here yesterday next As We Roll on on sack toown Sports Sacramento weather is

until this year and then again last night he just uh yeah ating on him no I’m not hating on him it’s a it’s a fact you just listen to him talk you know and you watch his teammates and he just acts a little differently fine fler probably should have been the MVP probably should yeah I I tell you what let me just say this and go on the record Jason Tatum is one of my favorite players in the league favorite players in the association when Jason Tatum walks into a building you feel it you know he and maybe he is a little different a little cheesy little corny with his we did it line after the win left but that dude and I said it a few months ago when we were talking about the face of the league Jason Tatum to me has EV all the tools to be the face of the league and here’s why kids love him everybody knows how good of a player he is but I also think Suburban moms like I think Jason Tatum can play on any marketing ground there is he could sell shoes he can sell cereal he could sell chips like I think Jason Tatum has the potential to be that next guy there’s only one other guy on that team that has anything close to that Payton Pritchard and he made another huge shot last night Payton pitcher I tell you what three can can can I you know I said I was happy for Al I said I was happy for uh my boy JB and Tatum Payton Pritchard let me tell you a story pton Pritchard to me and he hits Big Shots you’re right yeah pton Pritchard is the guy who hangs with the guys pton Pritchard thinks he’s one of the guys you ever hang out with your buddies Jay you would know this you go to the club some of your boys got more money maybe they look a little better than you the ladies love them a little more you’re hanging with them so you think you’re that way too you think the ladies are there to

favorite player is drapes and I said don’t do it don’t do it he said Payton Pritcher I’m like this dude and my son loves Payton Pritcher Payton Pritcher thinks he’s better than he is he’s the heart and soul of that team that Underdog that’s Scrappy he grindes my gears dude I’m like dude you’re not that good but because you got the guys with you you know who Payton Pritchard is Draymond Green Draymond Green thinks he’s the guy because he’s hanging with Steph and Clay bro you go from Golden State to Detroit you ain’t nothing Payton prit you go from Boston to uh Charlotte you’re in the abyss Kings need some shooting I’m hope pton Pritchard finds his way here I know one way can you imagine if he actually did come here to uh sack i’ he’d be my guy you know then he would have to be my guy he [ __ ] my guy always has been yeah oh man you know when we get off this song I ain’t going to be your guy uh TJ joins us on sack toown Sports what’s up TJ how are you oh nothing much man I was just talking uh you know you talk about uh pton piter and how he thinks he’s the uh the guy that hang out with the guy yeah yeah that reminds me of like Derek fiser ah EX you’re right it’s Kobe and Shea’s team don’t walk around acting like you the guy too fall in line know your position son I’m with you on that yeah thank you TJ appreciate it I’ll just say this though calling pton Pritchard Derrick Fischer is a huge compliment true F yeah at least Fischer was a starter he used to play he was a baller you’re right I mean payt and Pritchard who else can I compare him to I look at a team even your dream on green was kind of a i draymond’s a player though but you know what I mean it’s like you know he he it’s like hanging you know a guy that talks a lot of trash when he’s around there buddies but when you see him on the street by himself they ain’t got nothing to say Payton Pritchard outside with no Tatum or no Jay jump shot do the he’s just another player but he got the backing with Tatum Brown my guy Al Horford and so uh n kudos to him man they’re Champions like like uh CIO said uh p Pritchard is an NBA champion and good for man right can’t take that away we didn’t get a chance to ask you about this yesterday this is big news yesterday now we got other fish to fry but needed your take on this Sean Cunningham on Twitter yesterday Kings hosted a big pre-draft workout according to League Source Zach eedi my God uh Kel wear uh Jameson battle Boogie Ellis rayj Dennis and Jonathan mogbo participated what do you think Zach e my theory that by the way was they love uh khil wear and they just wanted a big guy in there that he could work out again so they invited Edie oh you I think they’re really looking at the guy from Indiana they needed a workout partner yeah like we need a big guy in there to get him something to work out against you know what and I’ve said this before I’ll say it again I like Zack Edy as a player I think he’ll be a fine NBA player long career 12 to 15 years in the NBA I don’t like Zack Edy as a fit for Sacramento no I just you know and maybe you want to change a pace from domas or something like that you know I I I don’t know but in this uptempo offense that you’re trying to run where does Zach Edy fit it just doesn’t make sense to me and so maybe they’re doing their due diligence righty kicking the tires just in case you know you got to do your due diligence but I I I can’t see Zack Edy uh getting pick 13th overall yeah it so if they trade the pick which it looks like they want to if they make the pick they’re making it for someone else right which we may not know for a while yeah yeah it could doesn’t have to be a draft night deal hopefully it is you know because I’d love to you know hey Zack LaVine coming to Sacramento but you’re right we’ve seen players get picked and then a week or two later get uh traded here’s the thing though with with that pick you got the uh summer league coming up you got California classic basically a week later white you should have heard yesterday Jay and I trying to figure out the schedule Jay you know why we screwed that up so badly the Kings have two teams two teams I looked at that yesterday team in San Francisco team here J J’s going well they play The Warriors and San Francisco I was going no they play the Spurs they here I was thinking is it a double like no they play at Golden State and then seven yeah two teams had to uh get the inside information we had coach Christy here and I was like something ain’t right here like what are we doing and we had people on text line like you guys don’t know it’s like no you don’t know you don’t know because you’re talking about you they play Team uh Chinese National Team then at the same time they’re playing also down at the chase center right right it’s interesting fellas it’s but they’re only taking one team to the official summer league right exactly right I got a little birdie on that too what what you and this is in from coach Christy I don’t because I talk yeah but I did find this out last week and I haven’t told we’re going to have to I don’t think the Kings might not want to announce this but somebody is decent is playing on the summer league team and when I say decent is someone I wouldn’t expeced we talk about that down the road a little bit no you can’t you got to tell us te baby who could it be somebody decent yeah someone that’s on the big Club Keon Ellis I can’t tell you bro I’m just saying teas it yeah but you got I don’t want to interrupt your conversation continue your conversation all right that’s that horse has left the barn I see the horse right next to you I I I see how you’re doing it Jay you’re like look guys I got this information but I’m not gonna tell you what it is come on bro he said sh off camera off mic oh no we talk today during the show Absolutely you got toti with the drive guys to get that info okay all right I I got I can’t wait can’t wait I I I I I tell you what though here’s my question regarding the summer league which team do you send to chase Center and which team do you keep here whoever this player is Jay’s talking about he better play he better here right The A Team got to be here in Sacramento right you gotta have your best here like to because you want to draw your crowd and everything like that right right yeah and then the B guys you know no offense to them they go to the chase Center yeah I mean yeah Summer League B team that’s isn’t that weird though that you got competing summer leagues right down the road yeah well it’s supposed to be kind of one thing we were talking about this yesterday I don’t know if you’ve seen the NBA release but the NBA official release almost makes it sound like oh it’s a California classic and you got one building you got the other and you know one venue and then you go to this it’s like no no no no it’s not Vegas where you at the Thomas and mag the one next no but and so you can’t if you’re a Kings fan you’re not driving a Chase center to see anybody right when you got are you’re gonna miss the game you’re gonna miss here right it just doesn’t make sense at all man yeah it was a little confusing for us yesterday getting through that we’ll be there though yeah we we’ll be checking out here here here in Sacramento yeah let me just say this I know we we got to get to break I’m watching on the YouTube and if you haven’t watched on the YouTube check it out right now sack toown Sports 1140 every time I look down at it this shirt man is uh popping it’s popping right it’s everything looks nice

on the sack toown Sports app well kind of a sad day for me it’s great that Kyle’s back it’s great that we got the offseason to talk about but this is my last box score of the of the oh you got the box score I got it last one that’s it I don’t even know what you gonna frame that one I’m gonna I’m Gonna Keep It near and dear for a while that’s it you know that’s it for a while you know yeah you got your uh Olympic box scores summer league not the same not the same not the same right uh Manny T legit on the chat says thing he appreciates about the Mavericks is they weren’t even in the playoffs last year this year they make it to the finals and he says that’s what the Kings have to do not to do but yeah that’s that’s the goal so so the Mavs are the the blueprint now for us uh maybe is that is that is that what we’re saying is that what Manny to legit is saying we gotta do whatever they did you know what it is though Whitey to Manny’s point and to what you’re talking about the Mavs went for it the Mavs were a different team pre uh trade deadline post trade deadline they saw an opportunity to go for it here’s the thing too we can’t use use the West being difficult as an excuse to be patient oh let’s just wait you know maybe when the W no you got you never know what’s gonna happen nobody thought Denver was gonna get bounced as early as they did but they did nobody thought the Mavs would get all the way to the finals we knew they were good but they were like the fourth or fifth best team in the west and so when it’s your opportunity you have to go for it and if I’m the Sacramento King if I’m Monty VC the whole crew over there I look at domas and fox their Prime being right now Whitey not two three years from now right now why do we have to wait until de’arra Fox is 28 29 why not have five years of sustained Excellence the problem is if you wait because you’re waiting for the teams ahead of you to start to decline you got all those younger teams not younger than you but youngest teams behind you that are by then they’ll be ready all right now it’s our time do we really and it’s okay if we do but do we really want to see wimy in his prime I do not well I mean we could I don’t want to have to compete against an to see what it’s like that’s but that’s what you’re talking about it’s like all right let’s wait for these other teams but then you got Houston coming up you got Memphis exactly San Antonio I say you go for it right right now position yourself to make a run when it matters the most the playoffs we can’t be in no 91 game next year that can’t happen that’s unacceptable no more middle ground and let me say this as we come up at the three o’clock hour here in about 10 minutes and I was thinking this yesterday as the Celtics were winning the championship one of the things that the Celtics I applaud was that just a time check you did by the way I did that you like that right yeah I’m learning this radio gig do we do that in radio I don’t know I don’t know if that’s a radio thing but we used to right we used to back in the day but the thing about the Celtics and I was I started it with that organization back in 2009 from day one it’s been all about winning a championship Banner number 18 every move they made from the top ownership down to concessions was built WS competing for a championship and they finally that’s how we have to be we shouldn’t be happy with playing six seed no if we want to be Champions Whitey we have to act like Champions and think like Champions and think that we belong on that stage we don’t need to have a little brother complex anymore Sacramento we are a big dog and we need to act like it so when people say well Zack LaVine is hundred and something million dollars or we need to be patient slow playay it name me one team that has been patient I don’t think the Celtics have been patient here’s why Tatum and brown have been there the Celtics have had four iterations they had the Kyrie era Tatum and brown they had the Kimbell Walker era Tatum and brown they had um uh did I say it Isaiah Thomas and now they have the porzingis like they’ve had four iterations four teams where they’ve tinkered and messed around until they finally get it right that’s how we have to be but we don’t have that same core necessarily that’s one of the things talk about enough yeah uh Fox and my boy Keegan Murray espec well he’s not there yet you hope he’s there doas probably there’s not a lot more room for him to get better Daren Fox is good as he’s been the last two years he has to be better that may not be fair but they got to get that yeah he has to be better for them to get where they want to get I 100% agree and it’s not fair at all but it’s a fact of the matter but let me ask you this and that’s the and that’s one thing I’ve seen from Tatum and brown the drive to be great has never been questioned with those two especially jayen Brown like Tatum is just guy giv like Tatum is just has been amazing but Brown has worked on his game you can see his Improvement I need to see Fox’s Improvement to your point I need to see damont sabonis Improvement because this level of play that we saw it’s good but if you’re talking Jaylen Brown the finals MVP Whitey Eastern Conference Finals MVP the Larry Bird Trophy award winner The Narrative now is is Jaylen Brown better than Jason Tatum if that’s a real discussion isn’t Jason Tatum a top 10 player in the leag so are you telling me that now Jaylen Brown is a top they got two top 10 players like come on exactly almost did break that up aboutou years ago couple years AG I remember a couple years ago there yeah and I filled in last year and I thought man if we could somehow get a Jaylen Brown because they had just lost to Miami but they stayed the course our guys if I’m Fox if I’m domas I’m looking at it saying you know what we had great years but we got to be even better I have to hand it to the Mavericks I knew they were frauds I didn’t know it would take them this long before we found out yep they’re just like the Cowboys so I give credit they kept it from us for this long good for them but I do think all kidding aside when we look back on the playoffs my guess is years from now we look back on these playoffs which right now seem a little disappointing because we had so many short series I think we’re GNA look back on this as the beginning of a Boston run Dynasty I’m not gonna use they’re capable of winning next year beyond that I don’t know they’re an excellent team and I think we’re gonna look back on this as yeah that’s when that great team finally came together yeah I I think so but here’s the thing and I agree they have the potential to do it but you know what fueled them this year all the heartbreaks of years past to me it’s hard and this is why the warriors were so great the Kobe sha Lakers magic and and those guys heard like when you win one do you have the same hunger and desire to win two look at Denver as great as they were they slipped up it’s hard to win two three four in a row or four and five years that’s what made the Warriors and let’s not forget the Warriors Dynasty they won one then lost and then they added Kevin Durant yeah they never won three in a row they never won three in a row which is crazy but they didn’t like and the only time they won two in a row they had Kevin Durant yeah like and so I look at the Celtics and I say all right if Philly is if emb’s healthy gon get Paul George and Paul George did you see that Joel embiid video too when he was on at halftime or pregame we got we I gotta show you that in the break but I also look at Milwaukee I look at a healthy Knicks team like the Celtics their path was easy to the finals and then they faced a Mavs team that had no match for them I thought when you look at the East the Sixers had a chance if healthy Milwaukee if healthy had a chance so I’m not ready to give Tatum and brown two or three more titles or anything like I think the East is tough man at the top who’s the Bucks GM right now John horse okay he should get a ring he should get a ring yeah it it’s the worst trade ever he handed them Drew holiday and I know people say well Portland actually no like that singlehandedly changed the east in my opinion why because here’s the thing when you look at the Celtics and they trade away Marcus Smart to get Chris STS porzingis who’s your tough hard-nosed floor General Dereck White’s good he’s great but Drew holiday makes winning plays like Marcus smart but doesn’t make the mistakes in clutch time the fact that Drew holiday went to the Celtics if you’re John horse and you look at that trade you have to regret that right it was over you have to when that trade was made it was over they got Drew freaking holiday two more Kings have popped up on the Athletics tears list is that good news or bad we’ll share it with you next unack Down Sports Drive guys I didn’t ask to be thrown in

can we see those pictures I’ll put this on uh I put this on my Ig page go check it out right now I’m trying to get my followers up whitey I don’t know if you follow are you on IG big fella barely barely yeah because I don’t think you follow follow me I see how it is but uh Kyle Draper TV on Instagram man it’s uh it’s one of my favorite pictures dude like and the thing I love about this picture my daughter’s smile man she’s so happy yeah and so proud to be wearing it with me I said I gotta wear it today I gotta sport it today for the show did you wear it on vacation together no it it was it didn’t come in time oh it came the the next uh like later that morning we had already taken off gotcha so she was super bummed and so I said don’t worry honey we get home it’ll be there and so she we unboxed it last night and uh wearing it today I think the tag might still be on but oh well yeah is back he’s not as excited as I thought he’d be over the report today from action networks Mt Moore that the Kings quote are known to have had calls with Chicago involving Zack LaVine and Alex Caruso and that the kings are expected to renew conversations with Washington for Kyle kma these are the things we’ve been talking about we keep going round and round on the possibilities and we keep coming back to those two guys right because it seems like of all the possibilities that’s the most logical and here according to this report here they are the kings are pursuing not just one but both both option right and and and we got to give Monty you know uh some leeway here I I don’t think he’s just sitting back sitting on his hands happy with where think things are we’re not going to make any moves I think he’s trying and he sees what we all see this team needs to be better now it does take two to tango and so hopefully he gets something done I think you know if you could somehow pry Caruso and Zack LaVine that would be a major score for the Kings because Caruso is the kind of player we need Whitey that his impact doesn’t show up and box score big fella he does okay well yes it does if the other team doesn’t score as many points because he’s playing that’ll show up why don’t you dare my you look like you take it personal when I bring this is my last box score of the year and you’re making fun of it but I’m saying his all right how about this his impact is greater than what we see in the Box Score it’s not just that it’s the winning plays you know your way around a box you can f i get so when he takes charges stuff like that late game steals Allah Drew holiday late Game Stops we saw it against Chicago earlier this season Caruso was a menace against us there was a reason why the Bulls nearly won that game it was a tough game and we needed 40 something points from dear Fox Caruso is a GameChanger if we could somehow pry him away that would be a huge win for Monte M I thought it was very interesting what you said earlier about how if the Kings go ahead with these plans and it’s not all within their control as you said other team has to want to participate but if they do go ahead and they send out Parts matching salaries they bring in LaVine maybe some draft Capital do something similar for kusma then they’re gonna be essentially um sabonis and fox and those two guys and everything else is kind of rebuilt on the fly yeah and throw Keegan in there too ex our boy Keegan yeah but yes and that’s that’s your team basically but then also hopefully you you use that midlevel to get somebody as well yes and the and the by exception Yeah by you love that Bae you’re a big you like the ml guy all right yeah so that’s a way you build rebuild your team uh on the Fly and then you know maybe you sign some vet minimum guys something like that too but you know here’s the thing Whitey I I will say this and we’ve talked about upgrading the talent and we can all agree on that but the most talented team doesn’t always win the championship and people will say well look at all the talent Boston has they’ve had Talent before in the past they’ve had Kyrie and Gordon Hayward they’ve had Kimbell Walker Isaiah Thomas but you got to have the right kind of talent you got got to have The Moxy the Mojo the intestinal fortitude if you will and so if we go out there and get kozma LaVine that’s great and all and that will upgrade the talent but we also need some guys with some dog in them too and so that’s you know I I I need you know I think when you look at it as great as joic is Jamal Murray they don’t win without kcp and Gordon a couple of dogs as great as Tatum and brown are they don’t win without Drew holiday and Derek white as great as sabonis and fox are we don’t win without some supporting members that can help us out on any given night uh looking at the Athletics tiers list this is out already came out yeah and this is top 125 but rather than rank them one through 125 they have tiers yesterday was tier five and and Keegan was in there so today tier four came out yeah in tier four you’ve got Malik is in there and also domos so it’s interesting though interesting yeah because you’ve got a number of guys in this class that we’ve been talking about uh for example you know Brandon Ingram is a tier four uh Deonte Murray is in there yeah and uh let’s see Zack LaVine okay is in there and I think our guy from Portland is all Alex Caruso is in there oh Caruso and I thought Jeremy Grant was in there somewhere maybe he was tier five um so my my question is is that good or bad because like wellow there’s a couple Kings but they’re all the back yeah got three of them and you know there’s not gonna be anybody else in the list except dearen whether he’s GNA be three two or or one so you don’t have a ton of talent there relative to the rest of the league but if you can add a couple of tier four guys you’re still so much better than you were right right right and that’s kind of what they were two years ago right Harrison Barnes and Kevin herder two years ago they were top 125 in the league yeah yeah so let let me ask you and they don’t list the actual numbers right like 31 32 33 this is just tears right they do go 4 a 4 B and 4 C so you got uh domas is bear with me here domos is up here at 4A yeah and then Malik is a little ways down here uh he’s further down 4C but they’re tier four and again my my my point is okay dearen will be in there at either three two or one but other than this bunch there’s only he’s gonna be the only guy left in this in the top three tiers of the NBA yeah this list is is kind of surprising now like you got a lot of really good players in tier four like you know I if I’m who’s in tier one two and three if domas who was third Team all NBA let’s not forget that isn’t even in the first second or third tier and we all agree he’s not a first tier guy but should he at least be a second or third it doesn’t there’s not all there’s not the same number of players in each tier either so one two and three could be really small I mean tier one will be super small can you go back to 4A for me because I just I just want to see this here from the uh athletic once again atic yeah yeah and I apologize I’d throw it over here for you but then uh the camera I I won’t we won’t on the camera yeah we won’t be so they got I I don’t like this list I I don’t like who who else is in tier four with domas 4A 4A you got Beal jiren Jackson Jr M Mel Bridges Mobley Desmond Bane Aaron Gordon Julius Randle Scotty Barnes cat Miles Turner Josh Hart Derek Lively what do we what is this based on why it just does this doesn’t make sense to me and I’m not trying to you know shoot it down it’s fine is damont sabonis in the same tier as Derek Lively you you wouldn’t think so right like is that what we’re saying like c4a Elite role players they called our boy an elite role player the star in your role is a tier 4A Elite role players so is not the most favorable vion it it it it doesn’t make sense to me because what’s tier three then next Superstars or something then yeah we’ll find out tomorrow or I will sounds like you’re not GNA bother I I don’t think you know I’m might have to open up my athletic subscription that I got from my boys out in uh Boston they hooked me up uh I got the free subscription but I I just don’t like the players listed in tier 4A is Bradley Beal an elite Ro player at this stage of his career I think they also had Miles Turner yeah on that is Miles Turner and damont sabonis the same caliber player it doesn’t make sense so I I I don’t know so when you ask is that good or bad I think that’s bad I think it’s true if it’s true if if it’s true if damont sabonis is Bradley Beal Derek Lively and Miles Turner we in some we in some trouble like those guys are like fourth options on championship teams not one or two or three yeah that’s how the kings are perceived doesn’t mean it’s accurate right when we come back there’s been a lot of talk drapes last few days

bottom of the hour from the athletic speaking of the athletic and we’re going to talked to Vic among other things about the NFL over unders that he had last week he had first look at which ones uh he thinks are worthy of your time not real high on a certain team from Pennsylvania and the NFC just so you know I’m not worried about Vic man that’s Vic can have his he does really well at these typically I think he’s also going under on the 49ers really yeah I want to see who he’s high on can’t wait to uh check this out so that’s coming up bottom of the hour with the drive guys Vic taer and then uh let’s see we’re also talking five o’clock to Tristy Rodriguez sport she was Jay’s co-host for Val McGee softball game exactly and I I missed out on that and I didn’t hear exactly how that went Jay uh Jay crushed it did he really yes yeah yeah you know I’m just just I had to uh to be modest back there let us you know I could do my Kyle Draper or I should even D my Jay but at the same time no it was it was a great a great event man great situation like I said uh and we’ll talk to Tristy who was my counterpart of course my my my counterpart MC we uh went out there and did what we were supposed to do it sounds like everybody really enjoyed it a lot of people definitely came up to me and told me how much they enjoyed it entertaining pushing the narrative and one thing I one thing we do fellas is this and that this is something I was just telling somebody else is when you’re in this business a lot of what we have to do and drapes you know this to a certain extent it’s already scripted for us like you know you have cues there’s certain things you do the great part is when you have events like that where everything is loose and you can kind of do what you do and be who you are and show who you are you know because as much as we are ourselves right here you know our conversations sometimes are 10 times better off of the right because we can that we say you know onir and so I enjoy those type events but I have fun I love doing that and the one thing about it is fellas and you’ll see this when we touch a baseball field something just comes over me a baseball man I just you like Floyd maywe lights Pop I feel good about it man I feel good so what Jay told me yesterday was he said there were some people that came up and said wow you’re you’re really funny we didn’t know you could do all this and what Jay said was oh yeah well you know I’m just the third guy on that show but think what he really said to them I think they said we didn’t know you could do that I think he said if those two fools I could show you what I I never get the chance you know what’s uh super and this is the great part too and this is I know how we making headways fellas is couple things all the tickets that we had give away two of the two of the people we gave tickets to introduce themselves to me okay they came up to me sh C whatever super love then other people started coming up to me you know because I you introduce yourself you got to be affiliated with something and so people start knowing me as that of course all the the the celebrities and participants in the game you know we’re interviewing and having fun and people cracking jokes I’m messing with Chris Haynes about sources and all this type of stuff but people coming up to me and was like dude I love your guys’ show it’s fun okay you know it’s real fun it’s loose it doesn’t feel as if it’s scripted a lot it doesn’t feel as if you know we’re trying it’s just natural on the couch fellas talking people talking oh I’m glad they said that to you Jay and script it over there right so you got the laugh track out there right and this is how you know people are listening like you know you could pay attention is because they point to something on the show yeah did you get any Kirkland references uh no Kirkland references you know what lot let me shout out true Noah from West Sack who texted in drapes did you play golf if so do they sell Kirkland in Mexico like funny story lond I did play golf really yes I played golf at did Nick play Paul Mia yep Nick played with me this was a Father’s Day thing we did about 12 holes and we found a Kirkland golf ball on the chus y’all lying and I I threw it to my daughter I’m like Quinn check out this golf ball she picked it up it said Kirk she went Boo Boo and she just threw it in the in the bushes somewhere I’m trying to get that endorsement the funny is they got a Costco right in Cabo I didn’t know Costco Cabo Costco yeah and so we drove by and we were like oh my God and so uh dude we should get an endorsement like unlimited golf balls sure we should do a test and the gear and the clubs and everything honestly fellas would you play with them I would because it doesn’t doesn’t make no difference for you and your game is your game I don’t know man I need to do the test drapes Top Flight Kirkland you know ball I can’t do it and clubs I can’t I don’t know if I could do it man I’m a snob like it’s a multipiece ball it’s a quality ball you you know why fellas because when you’re bad at golf at least for me I don’t want any excuses I want to know that it’s operator error and what I need to work on I don’t want to be like ah this Ball’s trash or oh these clubs aren’t you know you’re G to say that anyway I need to top of the line I need to know it’s oper error and so that’s why I could never I could never do it I don’t think do you do that now yes you you put it on yourself before you put on equipment oh 100% okay as a matter of fact I went in golf this is in Vegas a few years ago had rental clubs play terrible oh that’s really hard so from that moment on I say I I take my clubs wherever I go because I don’t want the excuse even in my head that it’s the rental clubs that’s mess making me bad I need to know it’s me being bad explain this to me as someone that doesn’t play golf when you and why do you said it’s super quick beside the fact that these things are custom fit to your play and height and all that I get that part but you can give me any bad I’m gonna be able to hit the ball what’s what’s the problem with rental like you said the swing it’s built for your swing the swing angle the angle at your sha when you make contact with the ball things like that so if it’s different than what you’re used to it’s a struggle okay so wait a minute you mean to tell me and please correct me if I’m wrong the shaft on the golf club is the actual like the the bottom part of it right shaft the Sha the face the club face might be at a different angle relative to the sh kind of flex you have on it and everything so they got different types of shaft in the form of flex versus stiff versus they’ll put like a tape on the bottom of your Club the the what what is that the not the the bottom of the club face sorry I can’t think of the term and then you s and they see where it rubs on the club on the bottom toe of the club I guess it is on on the ball like where you where hits the ground that like all right well this should be this angle whatever so so then you start to bend the club face inward outward how hard you swing all that you know our boy CIO says the average golfer will not notice in golf balls Kirkland ball will be fine with 85% of all golfers I don’t buy that CIO I’m in you you you’re trying to get that for kir you’re trying to get that you 85% of golfers it doesn’t matter what golf ball they use that’s why I use the Kirkland one dog you can’t get a Costco endorsement C with me sitting here like I’m like holding you down right now they be like what dead draes is dead weight but but I I would so why not play Top Flight then CIO why don’t we all play Top Flight certain balls react differently to certain swings too certain conditions well you’re in the top 15% I want a low spin ball like because you know my problem is if I have a little slice I want a little more forgiveness on my spin rate and so I think it’s totally different all right cop that’s so wait a minute and I know we might as well chalk this up to golf game before the I thought golf spin means when it hits the ground and kicks spinning in the air is actually something that people pay attention to as well this is straight dude this is analytics big fella this is sports this is what we do Sports Science Sports Science yeah you can’t have sports science with a hobby bro this is like highlevel uh Sports we’re talking here all that matters dude all that matters so what type of ball do you play with low spin rate ball I play with the titlist tour soft little softer little softer yeah a little more touch you know won’t hit the ground and go or a tour speed uh I play one of those two it’s not the Prov v1s the top of the tops it’s the middle you know like the middle ground solid ones and what do you swing clubs uh tailor mate a Taylor mate guy yeah all right driver no because my boy Tom Morton over at Hagen Oaks we tested my swing out and I’ll be honest I probably need to upgrade I got new clubs about two three years ago I probably need to upgrade because my swing is different now you ever tried the Kirkland driver h no I don’t know if they carry that at Hagen Oaks I don’t know if that’s on the shelves out there need to I need to reach out to the Morton family and see if we can get kirking up over that way I I I need to check it out man I’m I’m a go we need to get out there get Jay swinging some clubs big hitter Jay no wouldn’t happen J have you ever tried it I’ve been on the driving range yes Jay the softball days Ain’t Gonna Last Forever big and then I’m out big time you done out couch coaching yeah I’m not on the couch I just get a little work out in jog you know H the pellaton that type of situation I’m out let me try this real quick SL this thing because I don’t think it’s gonna be popular so I don’t want to spend a lot of time on it I think my views are gonna be uh I think I’m gonna be heckled for it the king’s leadership question there’s been a lot of talk since javil was in here remember JaVale said oh when we beat the Spurs everyone was happy and what did he say he said I had to tell him shouldn’t be happy uh javil was just on with Duce and Mo and he was talking about Keegan he needs to uh he’s all he is is basketball needs to get out be with the guys more and we’ve heard talk about oh the team needs a more vocal leader I think some of that is overblown and it to be honest and I don’t blame him I’m not accusing anybody of anything javil McGee is talking about we need a guy like me that’s what he’s saying you know because we need dogs he wants to keep playing and a lot of the talk is we need that kind of that that leadership off the court and that’s what he wants to bring I think some of that I’m not saying it’s not true but some of it the reason he keeps beating that drama is he want a deal you think he wants to be on te and I still think Talent is a bigger issue than that but I know that is important that is important and you have guys on the back end of your bench who rarely get in the game but they Pro still provide something you know when you look at certain teams they got a bunch of young guys some teams have a bunch of veterans too on the back end of of their bench you know we look at Udonis Haslam for 20 years in Miami uh I do think and we heard Mike Brown talk about JaVale uh his value during the season Mike Brown at times credited JaVale who didn’t even play a minute with helping the team get the win and so yeah JaVale might be trying to get a new deal or something like that but I don’t mind veteran guys and I think that’s the problem with the NBA a lot of times too it’s such a young league you don’t have some of these veterans on the back end of the bench really coaching up and mentoring some of these young players yeah and in all fairness to javil we just had a cut yesterday from Leandro Barbosa talking to Monty p and he said yeah that we we relaxed a little bit last year so it wasn’t Java’s Not The Only One S so we you know we we needed a different mindset so there there is an issue there but I think Talent will address a lot of that Vic taer is going to join us why is he so down on Draper Eagles yeah I got a holler at him we’ll find out next on sack Down Sports the light is fading your hands are sore and the last tool

won’t be long July h of Fame games coming up uh in July I think here’s the thing Whitey I learned last year the season for my Eagles don’t begin until January I don’t care if they go six and 0 eight and0 your boy is not going to be talking trash the Eagles season by January was done know yeah the wheels were already off you’re right about that you’re right no I’m actually looking forward to this uh NFL season you know why and we gonna have our boy Vic on there uh the Eagles obviously their moves I like the Young quarterback so I think a lot of storylines with some of these teams this year yeah Vic taer is one of the best football writers in the country right for the athletic senior writer he’s been covering the Raiders for years uh he joins us now how are you today Vic doing good guys how you doing good appreciate your time I know last week you posted NFL predictions based on uh win loss over unders Vic what’s the what’s the biggest reason you uh would take the under on the 49ers at 11 and a half I just think um the schedule was tough I think there I was some issues with Brandon auk I’m not sure if he’s back I just think uh there may be more gear towards the playoffs and actually to stacking up uh stacking up regular season wins you know uh Vic but you know and obviously you’re you’re great at what you do how do you uh stack up the division though because I I look at the division and I I still see it as you know a division where they go six and0 five- one in division how do you view it yeah I think the Seahawks be a little better them one of my over teams I think Joe Smith got a bad rap last year a lot of drops I think they’ve made some improvements new new coach defense should be better so I think the see are better this year I do agree the Rams I think may have gotten the little lucky last year I want the Rams are back up to were last year and the Cardinals I’m not sure the Cardinals are terrible I think the Cardinals could surprise one or two of those teams in the division at some point next year Vic tafers with us from the athletic one of the things I most appreciate appreciate about Vic about your your picks every week and also the over unders you do every year you always hold yourself accountable and you share your success rate uh from the previous year how did you do last season with these I did pretty good I think I was uh 4-2 on the Best Bets I think 19 and 13 overall so not bad I think it’s funny because he’s um obviously T these teams don’t care what I did last year I don’t care if I was right or wrong and Vikings fans are absolutely killing me I had the Vikings going under I wasn’t really sold on Sam Dar or JJ McCarthy or the defense and man it’s been probably the biggest reaction I’ve had like in the last five years I mean it’s like uh just lining up and just bringing the baseball bats to me every day so that’s that’s all part of it that’s fun I I don’t mind that he you you hey Vic where you from or you you you a Vegas guy no barri guy I went to the school Cal I went to high school in Sano I grew up in hwood so I’m a bar guy sh through all right where was your team growing up I just I’m trying to get get some context here from you know uh you know some of your writing and and and some of your stuff it’s funny because I actually was a football guy I was a Steelers fan growing up because they were always on TV I was a kid that just getting done with a big run so I kind of watch them all the time and then I got stuck with him through the bad years I got stuck with through the buby Brer years the Neil donnal years but I st true and uh it’s funny because I went to you know High School Sano ly Swan’s um Dad was the janitor at my middle school and his mom was the reception to secretary on my high school so I got a little bit and so it was all good people and so Ste fans throughout my my teenage years that’s incredible by the way Vic just so you know I think what he’s getting out of here Kyle’s a he’s a Pennsylvania but he’s an eagles guy so I’ve been I’ve been waiting to get to your Eagles picker and I think that’s what he’s tip toing around right I’m just trying to get the context before we dive into uh your your Eagles uh pick uh what do you think about Philadelphia Eagles I mean I think last year there was you know pretty huge collapse I think last year I’m not sure that all GNA bounce back I think I had him with numbers 10 and a half I think I want the under 10 and a half but uh me we stoen Dylan Herz is he really a top top guy it was last year kind of a a regression where he might be more of a you know a top 15 guy or top 12 guy than the top five guy yeah I’m not gonna just let Vic here’s the problem though the Eagles won the off season you have to admit they addressed all their issues whether it’s secondary the C uh coordinator positions like I I don’t see you know when you say uh well Jaylen Herz who is he well last year to me seemed to be an outlier where things behind the scenes weren’t that great I gotta feel like the wide receivers got paid so they’re happy you got new coordinators you got great draft picks and you got my guy saquan Barkley to me the Eagles who started off last year 10 and0 they seem to be a better team this year than last year well tell you this are you big Kell Moore guy because Kell Moore is obviously coming in they’re changing the entire offense so is that going to be I imagine an adjustment for some point I’m not sure they come in firing week one and they are it’s a tough tough division tough conference so uh I think they’ll be close I’m not saying they’re GNA be like six and 11 I think they’ll be probably probably had him at 10 and seven I mean that’s under but seven that’s that’s wild card that’s said though when we last week Vic when that or two weeks ago whenever when the story came out that Jaylen Herz was talking about about wow we’re changing the whole offense Jay and I were trying to tell you oh that’s bad news for eagles and you wouldn’t listen because you listen to Vic because this June if Jayla Herz was sounding concerned in August and September dude he has a whole training camp he has many Camp he has preseason to get up to speed Vic let’s take let’s take a step further are you a big ni serani guy you have fell faith in serani I I I put sir I say this when it comes to serani BU him self no with fio and Kell Moore yes at some point you think players like H I wonder what Bill Bel might say with this team I wonder what Bill Bill might do you think Bill’s waai in the wings a little bit see what happens I I think we all agree though this could be sani’s last year yeah if it goes sideways you got too much talent to come up short get bounced in the first round of the playoffs like serani would be the Fall Guy if they come up short this year and that’s I mean I could be wrong usually when teams collapse like they did last year it’s usually a sign of there’s probably bigger issues in just Town there’s probably something going on I you do the culture and stuff but who knows the culture but yeah there probably some stuff that are going on you know the surface is not quite great as far as this team being set up for you know a long run of of Big Time wins yeah Vic taer is with us uh from the athletic Vic what teams over under do you think is most out of whack that is if you were betting the the best opportunity to jump on here is is with what club based on these numbers it’s a good question I think there a lot of teams had big numbers I think like six teams had over I think 10 and a half over 11 and a half win so I think some those teams are come back to earth I think um we mentioned the ners I’m trying to think who else I had the Giants didn’t you in there yeah that’s a big reach and the Giants just because number so low numbers were it’s six it’s I love that one at six and a half so I took I took the cheese I just think uh like last year obviously everything went wrong last year I might sure is Brian bble is he a bad coach all of a sudden he was a great coach two years ago and I don’t think Dan Jones is I mean people get mad at this but I don’t think he’s terrible he’s not you shouldn’t give him $40 million but he’s not he’s not terrible so I think there’s some bounce back there for both those guys I like Malik neighbors draft pick I like their offense a and the defense is actually pretty good so I can see them usually winning eight games and and being over team pretty comfortably yeah I could see him finishing ahead of the Eagles but that’s no no I’m not I’m we know dude Squan might rush for 2,000 this year I don’t know what y’all talking about hey Vic let let me ask you this of the of the rookie quarterbacks that we’re going to see this year which one do you think I is in the best position to uh help lead their team to an over I guess this upcoming season just got expectations I might say say may I think May’s in a good spot the Patriots are you know are they terrible I’m not sure they’re terrible I think they’re not very good but I think that’s you know I think you you watch his college tape I think there’s some flashes that he can be a good NFL quarterback sooner than later other guys are probably different difficult situations I think um B Knicks I mean I know where we are in B Nicks B Knicks is going to get a chance pretty early but I’m not sure that’s a good thing for me I see a guy who’s he ha to say a college quarterback but he’s a guy who obviously runs a lot you can make plays with his feet and and gets rid of the ball but I’m not sure he has the arm strength to really make those throws you need to make in the NFL and Vic why do you think six and a half is a number that’s an opportunity there why do you think that’s too low for the Raiders oh it’s just because to think talent wise on defense I think last year they finished strong with Antonio Pierce I think they finished the ninth best defense last year in terms of the rankings they added Christian Wilkins who’s like like one of the best defensive tackles in the league so just defensively alone they’re going to be in all these games again I mean you know Aiden lonell and and Gard M that’s not the way to go but right they tried they couldn’t trade up in the draft you kind of get stuck and so are those guys terrible but are they good probably not but I think the game of defense is good enough where you should be in a lot of these games like you were last year I think 7 many wins is pretty pretty realistic hey Vic is a noono the week one starter for them you think it’s a great question I just got through watching mini camp last week and they’re both not very good so as of right now because of he was the guy last year he played like what 10 games last year I think he has leg up but uh nothing to nothing to be excited about really either way either way see he’s the best that’s why he’s the best biger thank you Vic we appreciate it uh we’ll be reading your stuff and we hope to talk to you again soon all boy sick all right you yeah not high on your Eagles this is an objective Observer you know you say me and Jay we got our 49er glasses on big tav’s like hey that’s just the way I see it man so H but you gota you know he’s a Bay Area guy too and he was a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers so let’s let’s I mean we know where his allegiances lie it’s not with Philly you know what we need to do Whitey and I hate the we’re gonna have to go to Philadelphia and get a guy or two on from Philly and see that’s what I’m saying exactly we’ll see where he goes yeah or maybe East a Northeast guy or something like that we we’ll figure what’s Ross Tucker up to these days yeah get our boy Ross Tucker he’ll keep it real uh when we come back guess what Brandon auk he ain’t getting what he wants from the 49 when we come back we’ll explain why on sack Down Sports Sacramento weather is brought to you by fome Lake Kia I’m

yesterday let me ask you to guys this because I I I did see it I didn’t fully you know dive into it it does make a lot of sense it doesn’t make and are we sure he was talking about the ners wanting him first thing Jay asked right context is cont clearly that’s what he wants us to think but we don’t know if that’s actually what he was talking about right it doesn’t make sense like and I watching sports center yesterday and they’re like yeah auk says the Niners don’t want him and you know are we sure that’s what he they were talking about no we’re not sure and and fellas this my thing and I know it’s hard to do this but he’s in a negotiation situation right we know he’s negotiating we know his agent we know his team we know his team his Squad is is negotiating on his end if if he feel really believes that or he was told that then why not just come out and say that right and why would you come out with that old cryptic type you know situation just say listen the 49ers have said they do not want me and watch how things blow up compared to throwing that out there so it’s like games being played I’m like yeah man that’s you know for a lack of a better term you’re acting like a child with that stuff and and and if it was true we’ve seen this happen o for players you know over the years if a team says they don’t want you like Jay said come out and say it but also we would have heard auk wants a trade or something like that you know or something else would have came out than just what what we saw on that Tik Tok have been traded at draft day yeah Matt Barrow says he says one of the things that I said yesterday just you know we were spitballing here he says iuk is frustrated over ongoing negotiations he’s taken to social media to express that frustration that’s what I saw of that like they tell me they don’t want me he don’t know what else to do right now because the 49ers are drawing that line it’s like we’ll give you this much you want that much you’re not you’re not getting it and they don’t have to because here’s the thing as again Matt baros points out San Francisco has Leverage auk is already under contract for 14.1 million in 2024 the team can also franchise tag him to hold on to him beyond that all T Higgins right yeah yeah yeah and his was like 218 or something so it’s easy for us to point out correctly that well the going rate right now for wide receivers of his caliber is 30 but the 49ers can say maybe but we don’t have to pay you that and that’s where it is yeah and I also wonder with this iuk situation is it him or is it his agent you know like much of this is his agent saying look at what these guys got you deserve that versus auk saying you know what I love San Francisco I like my time here I want to stay here like who’s who’s calling the shot because if 28 is the number and we don’t know if it is to me and and I know you guys have talked about this over the last few days 28 to me seems to be a good magical number if they’re offering 26 you want 30 the Mike Brown contract let’s meet in the middle 28 I don’t think anybody is offended like if aou gets 28 he can’t be offended by that right that’s a solid good number and so I I’m you know I’ve changed my stance on this i’ you know the Eagles fan of me wants it to be you know uh he’s gonna miss games he’s gonna miss camp but I think this gets done I wonder if the 49ers are thinking that too it’s like we’ll give him 28 but we’ll wait and who knows maybe he’ll cave before that in which case we’ll save the money right they might already know that yeah to your point they might already say all right we’ll give a go up to 28 but let’s see maybe we won’t have to we won’t have to you know maybe he’ll take 265 or something like chicken but I’ll tell you what if they think that they can let this linger into the regular season like it did with Bosa last year that that was costly yeah it it totally was costly and you heard Bosa talk about how costly it was and and also no margin for this is like you gotta win one of these years you have to win it all let me ask you guys this real quick do they need auk to win the Super Bowl uh yeah how valuable is he probably I think so too I I I think you know Bosa was at the top of his game when he got his contract we all understood that I like I said before I don’t know if they view iuk as a true number one in the NFL sense of the word number one talking to Jay no me and Jay we both agree on that right Jay Jay may not think he’s a but for the ners in my opinion he he’s their number one right exactly and I I think that’s where you you you getting all these other receivers getting number one money and they’re like you know how much of that is our system making you a number one I agree to that point I think it comes down to the 49ers look at the market and they say why receivers are getting 30 and they look at running backs if running backs are undervalued we’ll give them caffy 19 he’s worth that yeah uh and we need a running back is worth probably more than that in our system but a receiver ain’t worth 30 no matter what other people are paying their receivers so we are not paying him that right maybe the market says that’s what he’s worth but he ain’t worth that to us no receiver is well and here’s the thing about the Niners and I think we’ve talked about it on this show before fellas when you look at some of the positions that they’re paying CMC Trent Williams you know guys on the Deep Bosa and they’re gonna their quarterback they’re top five defensive line like and Kyle San talked about that those are difference makers defensive line quarterback and then it goes down the list and on their list wide receiver way down whether it should be or not I don’t know but that’s the fact of the they pay those positions they value as difference makers and they’re already paying a lot of money their wide receivers yeah yeah that’s true that’s true and that’s why they’re in the pickle now and we’re talking about is this the last year for Debo is this the last year for auk because historically they aren’t throwing you know 30 million like the wide receiver position is not where the money usually is yeah your guy uh Matt mayoko even though he texted me back before he texted you he’s your guy he’s writes that yeah they’ll get auk and he’ll play this year but this whole year part of it will be about evaluating which receiver can we let go can we keep that’s why it’s Tricky Ricky P EX playing all different positions and they’ll figure out okay whose role can he assume and you’re right I think they paid Debo and that part of Debo’s contract or his hold out was he wanted to be paid like a ageback as you call he wanted to be paid as a running back a do it all a Swiss Army night and that was kind of part of the situation but then once they got CMC is kind of like uh we kind of got a Debo Debo we got a CMC CMC we got a Debo you know so one of those things we have the same position and that’s why people have been saying for the longest Debo’s going to be the guy out because they have his replacement but I think the 49ers we’ve talked about this a hundred times on this show the 49ers do things differently I could honestly see them keeping you made a great point yesterday white is CMC and Debo both are injury-prone but they’re interchangeable in many ways despite the fact CMC still you know he doesn’t um line up outside as a wide receiver but he can he’s done it before and so I I could see them keeping Debo and saying to auk we got Tricky Ricky P here yeah if he turns out to be something I and I said this to whitey yesterday drapes I think Ricky Pera looks more in the the the likes of a Brandon iuk than a Debo you think so I do I think he’s more of a traditional wide receiver there’s very like Debo yeah I mean come on the funny thing to me about the 49ers and their receivers this doesn’t necessarily have to do with what they’re paying anybody but they don’t really want those guys you know the speed threats like the Dolphins have yeah they’re not interested in those guys you know the guys that blow the top off the coverage you know they don’t possession guys Yak guys yeah they they like um uh Tyreek Hill know guys they don’t pursue those guys and I think it’s because part of it is they don’t want their receivers getting tied up on the line of SC they want the big stronger rangy guys yeah but you know having those speed receivers like they’ve had Maris Goodwin they’ve had a few in the past but shanan field it seems like yeah I mean we just don’t really need that it’s it’s surprising to me they tried to draft a couple of guys that were Speeders the last that’s right they just haven’t panned out for whatever Danny gray was one of the guys right it’s like they for whatever reason they don’t pan out or they get hurt or you know I don’t know but yeah I think they’re definitely and this it K I was a kid those are my favorite guys to watch yeah Ronaldo nemiah guys like that remember that you know that’s a name right there they’re looking for receivers 20 yards and in yeah we get you to rock Shanahan system is 20 yards and in yeah how many times do you see 49er wide receivers catch 60 yard bounds very rarely it’s 20 across the gut a post pattern I’m mean hit you when you’re about 25 to 30 and get loose after that run the pattern I’ll get you open yep you better catch the ball and then you’re going have to make some yards after you catch it when we come back Celtics are Champs but are the Mavericks the team the Kings really need to learn from and pattern themselves after when we come right back Drive guys sack on Sports I didn’t ask to be thrown in the streets with nowhere to go I didn’t think I’d survive but I did ask for help and

p.m. Monday through Friday sack toown Sports Look Who’s Back the Boston Celtics are back as NBA champ Kyle Draper is back with us in studio sack Down Sports I tell you man I was watching the the the ending of the game and the celebrating on the streets and everything and and I I I’ll admit I got a little nostalgic like man those are my people I used to run those streets Whitey I used to be in that sea of green back in the day somebody hit me up traes aren’t you sad right now that you’re not there and I’m like no man I’m good big fella you know people are like see you shouldn’t have left and everything I’m like I am a okay somebody’s like what’s up Kyle you know you could have been along with this ride with us if you just stayed in Boston instead of going to Sacramento man bad move I miss you here in Boston he said bad move I’m like what people don’t understand and and it would be great to celebrate a title but that’s one night and that I’ll remember forever I’m living a dream every day during the season Whitey calling NBA games yeah to me and working with me day yeah that that’s a little aside a little little icing on the cake how about that icing on the cake and so I’m living the dream every single day with this job and so I’m good man you know it’s it it sure would I have liked to been there but I’m not crying or upset or anything like that we need you to settle dispute that Jay and I had relates to uh the Celtics okay uh and then we’ll get to what’s going on with the Kings and today’s reports of who they may be pursuing I saw yesterday before the game Cedric Maxwell came out on the court yeah and he went out there to Tatum who was Waring up and he’s like hey now you know who I am because you heard about that yeah yeah yeah heard so Jason Tatum had said after game four I don’t even know who Cedric Maxwell is I bought it 100% Jay said nah he knows he’s just kidding around what do you think oh he he definitely knows who Max is why did he say that no I think he and I didn’t hear wasn’t he referring to when he first got there he didn’t know who Max was oh I I didn’t I maybe I didn’t I didn’t think so max is on the team playing in hotel so thinking he knows who the guy is but didn’t know it’s like hey hey he didn’t know it was he know everybody knows who matx is and like he may not have known before he got to Boston but because Cedric did go out there and go hey hello now you know who I am especially because let’s not forget Cedric Maxwell gave him the uh Larry Bird trophy a couple of years ago so he knows who Max is all right you’re right Jay you got it right sarcastic I know he was sarcastic man all right Max are you buying this according to Matt Moore Action Network and Matt Moore has been time out for a second do me do me a favor wife do me do me one favor yes please do me a favor uh not only me the people at driving home from work listening on YouTube the app sat down Sports we got to come up with a different name than the Action Network well that that seems like it’s like from Ron bergy and the action know that doesn’t what is it hardwood Paradox or something like that too well he is the host of a a popular betting podcast called buckets so they could use some help I’m sorry every time I hear the Action Network I’m like who’s this yaho but I’m sorry I’m sorry go ahead go ahead no buckets is the action Network’s popular NBA betting podcast oh my God you’re right he used to be M Moore used to be with uh Hardwood covering the league a long time all right here’s what he says kings are going back to the well uh they’re offering Barnes and herder uh and draft piic conversation they’re known to have had calls with the bulls involving Zack LaVine and Alex guso and you may say yeah we know that this apparently is since the deadline right because he says uh that’s what makes LaVine more attractive to them at a discounted price after his trade market value H Rock Bottom at the deadline unless he’s referring to what happened before that either way the link here is that they’re they are pursuing Zack LaVine they’re interested in Zack LaVine after talk to the deadline says Matt Moore Action Network Action Network the kings are expected to renew conversations with Washington for Kyle kosma especially with the Wizards potentially adding a front Court starter in the draft later this month are you buying any of that I’m buying it I’m totally buying it I’m totally buying that the kings are making calls on those players yes it behooves moves Monty McNair to do such we’ve been talking about Zack LaVine and Kyle kosma all off season last four months you know ever since the trade deadline and so it’s a smart move to engage with those guys I expect nothing less if the report came out that the Kings weren’t interested I would have a problem the fact and then you throw in the Caruso situation Caruso to me is a GameChanger a winner and so I applaud Monty McNair it’s clear that he’s trying to get something done and we’ve talked about it and we’ve heard the reports about the number 13 pick and maybe the Kings might be interested in dealing that pick uh and so yes I do buy the Action Network me too me too I wonder I wonder if Action Network is hiring I would just like to have that on my business card Action Network that’s why I can’t take it seriously that’s just me I’m sure they do a fantastic job uh but wow Kings would have to part with their lottery pick in June’s NBA draft potentially future picks as well okay says uh Mr Action Network and he points out that adding Zack lavine’s uh remaining salary [Music] 137.84 Fox LaVine and domas and then he says that could impact Sacramento’s ability to retain Keegan Murray so again this is if they did this and if they did this which it looks like they will do then this would happen and bottom line is again it gets back to Zack LaVine we all know this we’ve talked about it it would be a huge risk to bring him in I just I think we all agree right now well that’s a risk that given the current right status in your status in the west it’s a risk that you must assume if you can reasonably do so yeah and and for two two reasons one you know I I think damont sabonis and dear Fox are in their primes right now you don’t want to waste their Prime go for it put your chips on the table push them all in and and do the moves you have to make now you know to Matt Moore’s uh writing there his report you know if bringing LaVine in would really impact Keegan Murray going forward that would be a shame and I would hate for the Kings to back out on the LaVine sweep Stakes or somebody who’s making that kind of money for you know because it would have impact Keegan Murray because then that means to me you’re not willing to pay whatever it takes because Keegan is your own property you drafted him so you can exceed any thresholds that you want to keep him and I know the finances are what they are I I don’t know but I do know covering the Celtics with grag would always say whatever it takes to win a championship look at their tax bill look at the money they’ve paid over the years it didn’t matter to him they were in pursuit of banner 18 I know we don’t like the Warriors around here but the Joe lob definitely did Joe lob same thing and it it’s repaid Joe lob back in spades I mean look at you know the money the Warriors have you know from when he first got them to where they are right now and so if we’re not at that position where we can invest and spend like that it’s a shame and I’m not going to say oh we’re being cheap the finances are the fin if you don’t have the money you don’t have the money but then to me you can’t can’t play with the big boys you can’t be the Yankees you can’t be the Dodgers you got to be a middle of the pack team and hope you do it through the draft through trades things like that because uh I I can’t see how making a trade to bring in a guy should impact like as an owner you already gotta be thinking of this right don’t you like you already know how much Keegan Murray is going to get paid you already and so if you say no we don’t want Zack LaVine because we got to pay Keegan it’s going to be tough to win a championship success of course breeds imitation so if you’re the Kings and you had to follow the Boston path or the Dallas path which one should the Kings follow which one are they perhaps already on we come back with that on stackdown Sports hey everybody it’s your boy Kyle Draper from mercedesbenz of Stockton I can’t tell you how much I love my new

from Matt Moore Action Network if it’s true is that maybe Kings don’t have to choose between Zack LaVine or Kyle kman maybe they can have both that would be a dream that would be upgrading the talent that would be two of was no Kyle kman wasn’t on the D list but I would accept him I would take him it’s not like I’m anti-man he’s a talented ball player that would be fireworks this offseason for the Kings but uh which which team’s path to success should the Kings follow if you had to go Dallas or Boston we’ll get to that first to the phones we go 3391 1140 800 92140 Ken joins us on sack Down Sports hello Ken hey what what’s up gentlemen what’s up K it’s been a minute since I’ve seen you we got to get out on the golf course man yeah man let me know let me know and doubt man I just wanted to mention man that that Sacramento Kings uh former player sitting up front row taking that picture last night with the Boston Celtics q88 I just want to throw a shout out to him man he just sitting there proudly me I’m like look at that Sacramento King man sitting there man getting his ring looking good I just wanted to mention that man and he was really smiling man he was juic bro you’re not salty about that Ken you’re not salty at all not not really man because I think we should have kept him we should have kept him I don’t know why we got rid of him man I just but man I just I’m just proud of the cat man I just that’s just another that’s another thing that the Sacramento Kings do man we get rid of good players that go somewhere else and be successful man you know they they they stay they stay um consecutive in what they do man so we don’t mind that man but I just wanted to send that shout out man to q88 man to get his ring man me as kada yes sir thank you Ken why did the Kings get get rid of him I just don’t think uh you know in Mike Brown’s system they they felt like he was a fit and he he played some minutes for the Celtics this season regular season you know and they loved him out there in Boston the fan base liked him when he played and so it’s it’s a little sh a shame that you know it didn’t work out here I understand what you’re saying about the system the thing that surprised me about it when it happened was that you go through his resume College g-league summer league he’s a good Defender you know and the Kings last year’s like that was the thing they were focusing on that’s what we needed right yeah a big man that could defend uh and you know for some reason it just didn’t work out time for check it with TC on sown Sports what’s up TC TC yeah y’all got me we got you yeah man hey hey don’t don’t don’t act like this ain’t your first time calling a radio station man you gotta be on we gota be on point hey it’s all good like to turn everything hey how was your vacation bro good man it was lovely man went to Cabo did some uh snorkeling rode a horseback on on the beach dude I was out there yo man look at my boy doing it big hey I’m all over that trade y’all the Bulls trade hey I I think that’s the move y’all hey it’s going to be fireworks Kings fans I try to tell y’all get ready bro hey I got us getting Zack LaVine Caruso and kma hey I really feel like money GNA pull something out of his hat shout out to kayada I’m all for that again Dr hey again with Keegan Murray Whitey and Jay in the back if we were keep worrying about Keegan and bringing players in and thinking that’s gonna send his growth kean’s not the guy bro he needs to be in a trade package like today if we say no to tra if we TR if we saying no to trades like that Keegan has to go bro if not then Keegan kick back and you going to have to ball regardless of who we get in here ke’s fans get ready it’s fireworks coming it’s our time y’all like the beam that’s all I got ah T I think there G be fireworks I do he’s out all right all right all right all right all right TC cut him out cut him there I agree going to be major fireworks and here I am talking about LaVine and kman and I forgot Caruso they get all three of those guys man they will have won the off season yeah I don’t care what anybody else does I don’t care if Philly gets Paul George if we get leine Caruso and kosma that has dramatically changed our team I think let me ask you guys this because it’s coming the fireworks July is two weeks away you know Monte’s fireworks stand that’s what I’m saying he’s setting up right now he he got the wood out there right now setting up but think about this we got the draft next week are we expecting fireworks next week Whitey can we see it as early as next when the fuse will be lit okay okay the Sparks may not come for a bit but that’s when the fuse will be lit all I’m asking for fellas uh I don’t need none of them little smoke bombs you throw out they just yeah at least give me a piccolo Pete or something I need something that’s going to make a little noise now you ever take a wrench and then you bend the piccolo Pete so it explodes at the end no I like you look at you that’s the baby that’s not how it was designed to be uh that’s true but yeah dude you’re one of those guys yeah like I I think we can see something next week boys you shouldn’t do that because it’s not safe right kids at home don’t do that but I think come to draft next week we could actually see something we could see something that night and let me ask you guys this if we don’t if they just make the pick does that alarm you does that make you worried if that happens I will depending on what they say I will I will not believe that there isn’t something coming you you will not believe I will not believe that there isn’t something coming unless they say look this is the guy we are not making a trade anything short of that and I be thinking oh yeah I’m not going to get too attached to this guy well I I I I bring that up because ideally you’re drafting for somebody else right yeah and you would think you’d have the parameters of a trade done when you make the selection I understand so ideally we could have something announc next week and I feel like the Kings have been really quiet too yeah that’s let me that’s good I I haven’t been monitoring their workouts is Zack Edy the only guy sort of Lottery is that they’ve worked out uh well no no but there haven’t been a ton but the other guy that’s been moving up the for what it’s worth the draft board is the other guy the other seven-footer that came in yesterday oh he’s actually been people now are going oh look at him um so apparently he worked out really well the combine had some he shot the ball well so he’s a guy and then there have been a handful of others and there’s also Al if I remember correctly drapes the Kings brought in 10 guys for one of their first workouts and we only found out five or six of the names so we don’t know yeah it could have been some of the bigger names or something like that I just feel like you know some of the guys they’re bringing in a lot of late second round you know not not necessarily where’s the Ron Hollands where’s the you know uh McCain of the world at those kind of guys Jobe Walter notice that too didn’t they bring in Carter though like there wasn’t there some talk they brought a Carter I’d have to double check I want to say yes but i’ have to double check that first initial kind of drop of 10 guys there were two or three of them we’re like what wait a minute you’re trying to reach out to SAR or you’re trying to bring a there was a couple top 10 guys and we were like oh you’re right that’s right that’s a little interesting must be trying to trade up or something all right that’s good to know that’s you know that’s that’s good to know because if they’re not bringing in any of those guys to me that means they’re not really trying to keep that pick so you know maybe we can uh read into that if you will yeah I agree with you I give him a ton of credit because to this point nothing has been leaked that we know of I mean Matt Moore did some reporting that probably comes from the other team other team yeah yeah yeah so that’s that’s good and leaky boats know what happens to them they sink they sink we didn’t hear about the Tyrese trade until it went down we were all shocked and so we know Monty moves in silence so this could be a good thing that we Haven anything now if you had to follow uh the Celtics path or the Mavericks path you’re the Kings now I know there’s other ways but just given that those two teams went to the finals which way would you go which path do you think the kings are closest already being on let me what was the Celtics path let me ask Celtics path is you draft two guys stay with them uh you fill in you try to find add guys that can maximize the potential of your of your core you know and it’s interesting to me that they have depth but you know if you pointed out they don’t as a team they don’t have depth they’re depth is at the top yeah they’re like their top their top six are like really really good I mean other than pton Pritchard there’s a drop off exactly I I think the kings are more like the Mavericks though Fox is the Luca you got sabonis as the Kyrie the guy you trade for you you bring in now you got to add to those two um and so I think when you look at it we’re talking about Lavina kosma those guys are the gaffords and PJ Washington you know when I look at the Celtics they had their two core right from day one those guys played together six years before they finally actually won a championship you know we don’t have that luxury with sabonis and fox playing together five six years before they actually break it we’re more on the timeline of the Dallas Mavericks you pair Luca and Kyrie together you’re trying to win right now you got Fox and sabonis you’re trying to win right now as you know haven’t been there this run for the Celtics it started when they traded Garnett and right and Ray Allen left and that which was 2013 last week one day we went back and looked at what every NBA team has done since then really it was no fun you guys did that for those of us around here it was not oh oh since then oh yeah I think our dark years yeah even Detroit has been to the playoffs twice since then so great yeah it’s been Bleak but again it’s fine as long as with this group The Kings could keep it moving in the in the right direction right right and and that’s the thing and that’s why this last season was such a heartbreak because it felt like we took a step back right you know you talk about moving in the right Direction well now because you didn’t make any advancements or any improvements last season now the sense of urgency is heightened even more because here’s the thing let’s keep it real fellas the Kings capitalized on ending the drought last year two years ago two seasons ago if you go back to missing the Playoffs two years in a row that one year looks more like an aberration an outlier we’re trying to build something here and so if I’m Monty McNair it’s a and if I’ll keep it real if I’m VC it’s a mandate to put a winner on the floor right now drapes that’s why I I I asked the question last week I said I don’t want to ask this but it’s something that I you know in the dark corners of my mind I worry about this king’s team this current team were they built to win a championship or were they built to break streak you know and now it’s apparent that right now they’ve got bigger fish to fry than they’ve already broken the streak and then last year was a disappointment but all indications are they are um they’re trying to put together a legitimate Contender how about this though Gold Silver and diamonds on the chat says or asks this trade rumor seems a little fishy more like aoy by the Bulls to try and create more interest in LaVine are the Kings just being used I don’t see it that way I I think there’s real interest legitimate interest from Sacramento because there’s nothing in there that’s like oh LaVine is fully healthy now know right I think there’s legitimate interest and I you know I don’t know anything on the inside I’m just thinking from a basketball standpoint there’s legitimate interest uh from the Kings I I think Monty understands to your point Whitey we need to upgrade the talent and somebody from the 916 just texted in the Kings need to read the room most fans will not blame them if they swing big and Miss we need to swing more than anything right now regardless of how it falls in the future I think that’s right I I agree like we gotta capitalize on the Goodwill of the fans right now like there’s an excitement surrounding this Sacramento Kings team and if you just run it back or don’t swing and we just go into this upcoming season with the same Squad is the fan base really excited about what we can do like we would have wasted you know that that ending the drought like Now’s the Time I agree man with the 916 and you as well now’s the time to swing and even if you miss I think you’re still in a better position to win games than if you just run it back yeah still to come this hour we’ll tell you about a free agent fit for the Kings who is all but available now uh also hoping that Jay will uh you know his scoop on which big name could be playing summer league for the Kings and we’ll tell you how the 2024 Kings were actually similar in some ways to both the Mavericks

from vacation hanging with you guys no seriously I’ll tell you what man I was dragging today I didn’t I didn’t feel like coming in it’s been a busy day why do you know me man you know I don’t sit still let me tell you about my morning real quick kids were sleeping in got up at about 6 had my coffee got a shower ran into sack had a nine o’clock meeting coffee meeting picked the wife up from the airport at 10: ran home got myself together you know hung with the kids a little bit had to be back here for a 12:30 meeting M so your boy I got this event I’m mcing tonight 12:42 I was I’m just kidding let me just say this I walked in I talked to my guy JC downstairs JC Swan I talked to Kelsey got caught up with her talked to my guy Brian Hanratty down there sure you know also talked to several other people and so I was in the building ah at 12:28 I just didn’t make it upstairs to the meeting till 12:42 mhm I was here I was on time I just wasn’t in the office right because everyone’s asking about your shirt and your your beard and dude I tell you what somebody uh some somebody said drapes was so scared of playoffs in his men’s league he took a vacation now we would have won the whole thing had I been there but no seriously this is my vacation look a and kick and I get it I get it that’s the way the game is played now Celtics looking for threes with interesting about that the MAV second yeah they don’t have three-point Shooters per se right like they got some guys that can make threes but Derek Jones Jr PJ Washington shoot that’s not gonna scare me in terms of the percentages Boston was second in the NBA so you shoot the most have the second ass percentage that’s a win right that pencils out yeah that’s good Dallas shot the second most threes they were 13th in percentage and the Kings shot third most reason they were 16th make Miss Lead percentage make Miss so we want to be a three-point shooting team we just weren’t good at three we as middle of the pack a three-point shooting team for all the emphasis on we want to shoot more threes we got to shoot more we want to shoot more three this didn’t make them last year that that goes to show and this is something you talked about a few months ago about the offseason we need more shooting yeah we need we got guys that can make it Keegan Kevin herder but those guys all took a step back in their percentage the question is who are they what are they more are they more like their career numbers uh career season they had or are they more like last year is Keegan Murray a 41% three-point shooter or 36 three-point shooter that’s a big difference Whitey that’s why to me if they’re on One path or the other the kings are more on the Celtics path really because and and I’m not saying they’re you know they’re well down that path or anything but you know Boston had so many guys like they would they would spread the floor and they had a ton of guys that could make threes right even porzingis could make a three yeah yeah yeah and the Kings wanted to be that two years ago I think they were that more than they were last year but you know Keegan shooting threes Harrison Barnes shooting threes they want everybody shooting threes so Kyle kba can shoot a three Zack LaVine is not shy about cranking up a three right right right so I would think they’re probably not gonna make too many adjustments to the offense if they bring those two guys you’re talking about style of play yeah yeah even though you and I have said you know they got to do something when they’re not making trees they got to figure out something else to do I I think it’s a terrible mistake if we just run the same offense like not saying it doesn’t work but the difference between what the Celtics do and what the Kings do the Celtics have multiple guys that can take their man 101 I’ve seen Drew holiday muscle bigger guys down low and get a bucket when the offense bogs down they got Tatum Brown porzingis Derek white we could throw the name Payton freaking pit Pritchard can get you a bucket how many guys can we say here’s the ball five seconds on the shot clock go get me a bucket maybe dear dear leak sometimes maybe HB occasionally MH her her Keegan H that’s what I’m saying that’s the difference the Celtics sure to your point got the drive and kick game but when that’s not working or they can do other things too and they have more than one guy to initiate that we were one trick pony it seemed like last year don’t you think that was the whole key to the series there were a lot of keys but the fact that Boston drive and kick game they attacked Luca mercilessly and he just couldn’t stop it and from there Boston’s offense and I know they were a little sporadic but basically push came to shove Dallas couldn’t stop them and Boston’s defense was pretty solid yeah yeah Boston’s defense was tremendous and yeah they couldn’t stop them because attack point of attack they had so many W weapons so many waves that think about it porzingis really didn’t play the last three games like sure he played in game five but he looked awful by the way Jay he needs surgery did you hear we talked about that yesterday we wouldn’t be surprised if the series is over and it turns out he needs surg surgery and sure enough sure enough yeah and the fact that they were still able to gash the Mavericks the way they were I mean people forget how good Drew holiday is like this dude’s a champion you know he’s an Olympian this guy is a former Allstar like Drew holiday is legit we could use it four teams and I just do not understand that Sixers fumbled that bag also that I mean they they’ve coughed up so much talent I mean you look at you know they they had uh miles Bridges also the Sixers did and so I know they had they had some guys but the the thing with the Celtics it wasn’t just JB Jaylen Brown or Jason Tatum you know Drew holiday had an impact Al Horford had like they had multiple guys that had impacts Jaylen Brown didn’t play fantastic it’s not like he averaged 40 points scored 21 last night but they had so many guys yeah they had so many guys let me check go to your box score let me PA you got too many sheets of paper over there I wish I’mma take a a picture of you hold on here let me get it all your papers you got over there yeah oh you’re right Kyle yeah Jaylen Brown was seven for 23 last night right you know but he was a plus 20 just my box score yeah so I’m glad you got the box score man you last one of the Year box score from WIS 100 point game somewhere in there too I’m sure but that’s we need Mo and that’s why I’m a big fan of aack LaVine H Alex Caruso fits that bill even your boy Kyle kosma guys that can get their shots outside of the offense that’s what we need it’s also interesting to me when you look at how Dallas put the team together we’ve talked about this a lot how they were all in last year after missing the playoffs they made Moves draft day they made a ton of moves some of which they pivoted off of again and they made more moves at the deadline and I mentioned this quote earlier but Mark hubin uh was asked about team and how they got here he said I just didn’t see a path for us to be patient and to me that’s you know someone is watching the kings that really resonates with me I don’t see a path for the Kings to be patient right now if we had if the core of our team was 22 23 we could be patient dearon Fox what 26 sabonis 28 like I mean Now’s the Time we we can’t be patient Luca even though he’s 25 Kyrie’s on the upper side you know he’s almost 30 years old and so the Mavs to Mark Cuban’s Point their time is now their core is in its prime now same thing with Sacramento our two stars are in their primes right now sure they’re not Jaylen Brown Jason Tatum but they’re pretty damn good two years ago they were third Team all NBA Now’s the Time for Monty McNair to surround these guys with some Talent we’ve had some fun naming some names today no one knows for sure what’s gonna happen but we’ll tell you about a potential Kings free agent Target he is all but officially available now who he is why he’s just what the Kings need

now that the off season is officially here we’re having some fun today we’re naming some names maybe the Kings can get this guy maybe they can get that guy and as always Tres as you know we’re trying to be responsible we’re not just maybe they’ll get LeBron we’re not doing that I was waiting for somebody else you’re gonna dude it’s the worst man you know it’s you know give get LeBron for two second round picks people the trade machine and ESPN it’s like made everybody a GM and you it’s two sides to everything right like you got to examine it from the players side the other team side so who you got yeah well we have this just a a review a report from um our guy Matt okay yeah just to review that yeah he says the Kings have been talking with the bulls about Caruso Zack LaVine he says you LaVine now is his value has gone down since the deadline so maybe he’s somebody the Kings can get and he says does mmore that the kings are also expected to revisit talks with the Wizards over Kyle kosma so that’d be nice getting maybe both of those guys how about this report early belief that Indiana Pacers Center Jaylen Smith will turn down player option which would make him an unrestricted free agent he make a lot of money so he’s a guy with your mle you would have a shot at Jaylen Smith who was a backup center last year who put up big numbers he can think he gonna take that though uh I don’t know how much he’s gonna I mean he really didn’t make that much money I could see him like a four for 40 type guy which is eating your whole mle up he’s probably your whole mle you know he’s probably your whole guy I like him I think he’s a a solid player I think he’s young enough where we haven’t seen the best of him uh just yet he was at an average of about five that’s what he’s coming off of and obviously he’s looking for big money right yeah I think he’d be affordable um I think he’d be worth a big chunk if not a big chunk of your mle because I think he’s one of those guys that you have to look at and say this guy’s worth right now is X right his worth can be 3x with us you know those are the guys you need in addition bringing the veterans it’s like you got to find the guys that are value that are lowc cost High upside that’s what everybody’s trying to do but this is one of those guys in an expanded role he can be a much better player and you can afford him let me ask you that’s how you get better is he a starter I think he could be on our team yeah he has to be because I think um as well as he shoots the three and again I mean you look at his Summers he’s a really good three-point shooter you know you need a big presumably with domas yeah who can be a bit of a stretch big and he can do that let me ask you this and I I’m I’m with you on jayen Smith I I like the young kid 23 years 24 now I believe uh he is 42.4% from three last year let me ask you this white and I’m not trying to you know be Devil’s Advocate just digging into the numbers year before that 28.3% from three year before that 37.3 year before that 23.1 it seems like every other year he shoots well from three who is the real Jaylen Smith if you will all I know is that he has talked about that and he has said that it was in his head little bit three-point shooting okay he said he’s understood he just has to let it fly and be more aggressive now a lot of people say that but that’s what he said he has addressed that and let’s not forget that um when he went to the Pacers in 2022 22 games with him after the trade from Phoenix he averaged 13.4 points a game okay all right and that was in 25 minutes a game so I to me he’s one of those guys that’s shown he can give a lot more if he just gets more minutes and in the minutes he’s played he’s been really good and I’m with you I love jayen Smith I I I like him a whole lot and here’s the thing about it in Indiana their season changed when Jaylen Smith was inserted into the starting lineup I talked to Rick Carlile about this when they came to town December 26 they were at Houston Jaylen Smith makes a start they go on a one two three four five six game winning streak seven eight they won nine out of 10 after Jaylen uh Smith started when you look at the Pacers defensive numbers Whitey first two months of the season they were abysmal Jaylen Smith gets in the starting lineup the defense really picks up so I think this guy sure he can knock down to three he could score but can defend as well and he’s 610 and I’m sorry jay I don’t have his wingspan I get it for you Jay needs that that’s yeah no I’m with you Jay I’m I’m a big wingspan guy also like I I I think so Jaylen Smith 610 I need his wingspan to be at least 72 can I get that let let me look you know what’s interesting 72 in a quarter passes the drap baby there you go there you go right there and I know he’s not the big name so for some people that might not really know who he is like he not the guy who wears glasses that doesn’t play but I’m telling you yeah we can get excited about kozma and LaVine but guys like this if you’re gonna get better these are the types of guys you have to identify and grab I think he’s one of those guys let me throw this at you because I’m we just spitballing here I’m I’m not shooting anything down Whitey I agree I like this player do you still get him if you get kozma and LaVine uh yes then he’s coming off the B because he’s a yeah he’s a legitimate big okay he’s your backup big okay all right just just throwing that out there you know what I say I I got Zack LaVine as my six dude you can’t have Zack LaVine come that’s what I not gonna happen six man starting then who’s starting um yeah who’s your two you can’t continue to run out Keegan’s my offguard okay you don’t even okay my front Court what you say JS now oh man you this is the thing and Jaylen Smith fellas I think you’re spot on with this he’s the type of guy I was looking at the minutes drapes you just said it but you didn’t put out the numbers the most minutes he’s ever played is 24 yeah 24 minutes a game and that’s when he got traded from Phoenix to Indiana that year and why do you point it that’s he at the most points right yeah like he he’s only coming off 17 minutes a game this past year the year before 18 minutes and they’re both at nine and nine and five like he he’s right there nine and five he’s the type of guy if you give 30 minutes he may give you 15 and and 10 like he’s a good upside guy and he’s right at the age where it’s like he might flip the page now may be his time to be a 15- 10 guy I like it I he played really well here yeah pardon me but I know he played really well here year when the Pacers were here they were little short-handed and he think Isaiah Jackson is kind of ahead of him there they have a lot of bigs there they got yeah they got a lot of bigs and I’m I’m with you I would like to see him come here and not be a 15 don’t be the same guy you are in Indiana right this is a bigger role he comes here I need 28 29 minutes a night well I think Jay made the point he’s probably not going to go somewhere we’re like yeah we’re gonna continue bring you off the bench and then we’ll see you know right it’s time to get paid and a 448 or 452 uh I I think makes a lot of sense for this guy I think it depends and you guys answer me this on what you do with draft trades because if you get a Kyle kosma I don’t know if I’m then you and and not Zack Le I don’t know if I’m then using my full mid level on Jaylen Smith when you need probably need some backcourt help especially without Malik monk perhaps and so I think these next two weeks before free agency I gotta know if I’m Monty McNair am I trading for kozma am I trading for Zack LaVine because let’s say you trade for Zack LaVine then Jaylen Smith makes a lot of sense then you got your format yeah but if you trade for kozma you still got a glaring hole in your back court right that’s why I think things got to get done here over the next week or two before a free agency one more thing I like about Jaylen Smith and and Jay touched on it if I end up trading a lot of my draft picks but I bring him in I’ve got a player who’s reasonably young there are players in the draft that are older than him right now yeah yeah yeah you know I bring in a guy who’s 23 a young guy is a chance that he becomes a younger part of my core yeah I I and you know to to the point we made earlier about taking a swing this is a guy you take a swing on you know you’re betting on him the potential that he reaches you know it’s it’s placing money down that you’re gonna get the Blackjack here you know and and so I’m all in on this guy I like him a lot how about this real quick before we break here I’m sitting here looking at his numbers and we’re talking about him eerily it just kind of feels like Malik monk a guy who needs more time yeah more space real estate has proven it and now is probably looking for another role yeah yeah like man yeah small Market teams you got to be able to identify those guys interesting yeah uh when we come back joining us will be NBC Sports Bay Area Kings Insider she was

thing somebody else uh actually the same person can Monte do a deal without the Pacers for didn’t the Kings just try another Pacers player in dwarte if a contender thought Kyle kba could help them he

guys I grew up with Four Brothers No Sisters I’m the only girl um all my cousins are boys all my neighbors were boys growing up like I’m super competitive our family night you think we’re playing a friendly game of Uno no like there’s death let’s happen at the end of the night like it’s it gets very intense so yeah super competitive um you know have to throw that in there yeah yeah yeah Tristy Rodriguez NBC Sports Bay are with us Kings Insider um Tristy what do you think that Kings have to do more than anything else if they want to be uh as competitive as you are next season um I think they need to do something so a little more than what they did last off I would say um I think that you know if your offense is going from number one to number 13 um that’s obviously a problem and there were factors played into that the West got better um Kings kind of just said Pat and I think you know other than dearon stas they had their like you know there was periods of time where they struggled um but for the most part they did their thing they they held their ground and they just need the king a third option that is reliable um I think Keegan Murray has shown that he could potentially be that at times I’m not sure like I fully trust him just yet um we also the Kings also are asking a lot from him defensively so like that’s another factor that plays into that um but he definitely has that potential to be that third option for the Kings um Malik mon was showing that at times too but we obviously don’t know what’s going to go on with that situation um so yeah I just think that dearen and domas need some help sometimes because they’re going to have those off nights and when they do who’s going to be the person to stuff up we haven’t really seen somebody prove that they um are able of stepping up to that plate on a reliable basis Tristy do you think Keegan you know holds the key to to the success of this franchise I feel like you know as the number four overall pick a guy that scored 47 in the game the organization’s hope is that he develops into that third do you think he’s the key we’re talking about Zack LaVine and all these outside guys could Keegan be that guy I think so um yeah I mean I think this is what um this is why the King drafted him number four overall you know that was obviously controversial at the time but the king saw something in him um they see it now um entering year three and we talked about it even going into uh last season he it was like you know sophomore leap this year two jump um and again I think he did um although his you know shooting numbers were down and stuff like that I think he made a leite defensively um entering year three I don’t know if it’s ever fair to have so much expectations on one player so like to say you know their success next season is on Keegan like it’s a team sport but I do believe that they coincide with each other Keegan’s leap and Sacramento’s leap next season will go together so if Keegan you know has that jump focuses and he’s the thing I love about Keegan is that we all know he’s super even killed you know sometimes emotionless um but he has brought those own expectations on himself you know he said I’m a you know top four pick guy um have to be better like stuff like that when he when he doesn’t have like the best games or he struggles he knows what this team expects of him and I think last season working with dearen um they helped each other’s games and I think doing things like that continuously is only going to make him better so to answer your question yes I do think he holds the key to their success Tristan Rodriguez with us NBC Sports Bay Area Tristy as we all know a year ago King’s fans were Skyhigh having just come off the the light the beam year where they got into the playoffs right now things seem a little more uncertain how important do you think it is for the Kings in terms of the fan base right now how important is it to do something big enough this year to get fans excited again you think fans can be patient if they have another off season where you know like last year nothing really happens or do they Kings need to show their fans how serious they are by having a big off season um I mean I think these fans waited 16 Seasons without a playoff birth they’ve been patient enough um and I think they’ve been loyal they should be rewarded with you know something in return um it’s obviously easier have than done um I’m not an executive I’m not a general manager so I get you know I I don’t understand the ins and outs of the things but I do think last season after you know two years ago making the playoffs having the historic season Cinderella story blah blah blah and to go from that to this past season of not even making the playoffs it you know the sad thing is it’s a familiar spot for Kings fans but the frustrating thing in where I can understand where Kings fans are coming from is it was essentially the same team they have the talent um you know Daren again Daren and domas did their thing um and so I think it is super important because this fan base is so loyal and I mean I don’t want to be super biased but they’re one of the best Grand bases that you know I’ve experienced I’ve been to NBA finals games I’ve been to soccer games I’ve been to the Super Bowl and I’ve never really heard any fans as loud as Golden One Center fans um so with that being said I do feel like you know the the Kings fans were loyal for a long time and they deserve a little reward back so I think thank that is not the way to go um let’s make a move and let’s make the fans happy yeah I’m with you 100% Tristy you know when when you look at you know this past season and you know what the the shortcomings the shortfall that they had why do you what do you think happened was it the Malik injury was it the shooting numbers you talked how the offense went from one to 13 what happened last season man uh there is a lot of things little things um I want to BLT out free throws because oh yeah that too that too geez I know R was like unhappy with daren’s numbers too so I you know the whole team was super frustrating with that and never want to like look back and nitpick at little things but it’s hard not to when like you do go to these numbers and you break down game by game had you know Zas made those last three free throws how Daren made those last two free throws it made all the difference at and that also guys know changes the position of the ranking in the west playing you know playing beating the Warriors and getting eliminated they’re in a actual playoff series and the best of s game and of course you could pay that for any other team but it’s when something as simple as free throws could have made all the difference that’s just obviously a big concern in something I don’t even know how you were like I guess shoot until September nothing but free throws I don’t know how you actually work on that like I know they were kind of mentioning it might have been a mental thing um and it was getting in their head so other than just practicing dang free throws I’m not sure how they can actually improve on that next season but that was a big concern um I also think they might have gotten a little um comfortable and like the season that they had before you know as we they were writing that it was new to them and like sustaining it was super hard for them and Mike Brown talked about this a lot going from good or going from bad to good is easier than going from good to great and that the Kings clearly proved that they’re not they weren’t at that level next uh this past season and there are several again there sever can point at to that um I also think you know just some of their experiments with players just didn’t fall through um you know you can point at Chris D um Sasha you know just different players who didn’t really like they had short Lees didn’t really perform um you know the limited minutes that they did get um also like Davon struggled a little bit but was big towards the end of the season um so I guess it was a lot of lot of things that you can point at obviously the injuries they were the healthiest team in the NBA two ago and then face that adversity with the past season which is also new to them so um yeah I guess you know I’m almost in a weird way like happy that this happened to them so that they kind of got a reality check hopefully we’ll be able to bounce back season joined by Tristy Rodriguez NBC’s authentic Tristy real quick this is something and you maybe you can settle it for all three of us we’ve been arguing all off season so far who the Sacramento King’s number one target should be Zack LaVine Kyle kosma I’ve mentioned miles Bridges we’ve heard Brandon Ingram Jeremy Grant who’s the person that you might be looking for that the Sacramento King should have interest from Tristy Rodriguez’s point of view oh man um I actually think Kelly UB is interesting um I think you guys mentioned something about the ters king yeah connection um OB toin yeah excuse me is also an intriguing Target um obviously coming off the best season of his career with um but yeah I think Kelly interesting I mean he’s 28 I think almost 10 seasons in the NBA um a solid season with Philly last year and you know shortlived playoff run um he can get to the paint he can score defend um he can rebound he’s athletic he long he’s what like six seven6 eight like seven2 wingspan um so I think he’s interesting again I said Obie toppen um coming off the best season his career with Indie I know his role was kind of limited um last season but he definitely made the most of every opportunity got um and I think he’ll be an interesting and even H commodity in fre agency if the papers don’t retain Tristy thank you so much for your time again congratulations on a no no no no no no you congratula her for that win uh is that where you were going I was just saying on what

afternoon home for Kings talk and so much more the drive guys on sack toown Sports earlier today we talked to Vic taer Vic tafer just wrote a piece in the athletic about over unders in the NFL and he picks over unders B you know for each team based on what those numbers are and he says Vikings fans are Furious he’s been hearing a lot from Vikings fans I know how he feels because before drapes made his way out to attend a charity event all I heard was that was set up the hazer Jay’s favorite team set up today what happens when you that was terrible why didn’t you have any Philly questions because they got to do something significant on on today’s day thank you yeah I get it drapes understands I don’t know he didn’t seem very understanding you know what let me go to today in sports MH let me see if the if Philadelphia the city of Philadelphia has done anything today worthwhile you let me know if you come up on anything I’ll tell you what from now on somebody’s gonna get a lot of Philadelphia questions from like 198 1931 Philadelphia it’ll be Philadelphia A’s too because a you Philadelphia yeah I’m I’m I’m going down today’s even today in sports you know Jay did you think that they got the MVP right uh Jaylen Brown because I I like Jaylen Brown and I was pulling for him but I didn’t think they got a right overall you know what it was it felt like and this is the thing why in when it was all said and done and a smoke cleared I thought the numbers definitely told it was Jason Tatum he let the team at points rebounds and assists which is what everybody looks at right but I I felt the team moved as Jaylen Brown moved and so when you really look at the the whole Encompass of the the finals I could see how jayen Brown was named the finals and one thing about it is is Tatum finished with better numbers but there was a game and I think it was game two or in game three where it felt like Tatum or not three because he had 31 but game two it felt like T for game one and game two it felt like Tatum played but we were expecting bigger and it seemed like you know jayen had a better allaround game and made more of a an impact so I thought you know sometimes and this is the thing in sports you always you know minus children’s Sports someone has to win there’s very few ties unless you’re soccer and I don’t know what’s going on with soccer but it’s not really a sport well that’s true I hear what you kidding kidding it is yeah but sometimes it’s okay to be Co like we don’t do that enough in my eye I’m with you I think that would have been a perfect solution uh I thought that some of the voters made up their minds before the game last night well if the Celtics win then Jaylen Brown’s the MVP and that’s you know you’re right I mean he had a fine series but after last night I thought if you looked overall at everything and you try to be objective it was probably Tatum I was glad Jaylen Brown won I also had the same thought you did co-mvps would have been great I also think this is to me this is what I heard you saying you could make the case based on the early part of the series numbers are one thing and they’re very important but Jaylen Brown bought brought an emotional element that helped his team at a time when Tatum didn’t seem to have that Jaylen Brown was gathering the team together for huddles you know in some of their their their um their most anxious moments of the season so I give Jaylen Brown credit for that that even though that’s obviously not reflected in the numbers so overall I thought yeah probably Tatum but I’m I’m glad actually that Jaylen Brown got it yeah and I me too because I think you know it just kind of puts the punctuation on Jay what Jaylen Brown means to the Celtics and it’s not a you know again this is not everybody gets a ribbon type of competition I understand that you know when we’re talking about NBA Finals MVP but I do think looking at it and even you know we talked about it here on this show you and drapes me and you there were points of times throughout the season where it felt like Jaylen Brown was the leader of the team yeah we also heard you know that the whole NBA I guess media the circle kind of talking about uh questioning is Jaylen Brown better than Jason Tatum and I will say this I do think most people had it made up you know Jaylen Brown was going to be the MVP unless Jason Tatum last night exploded for 50 yeah you know something abnormal crazy something big 10 threes you know it was going to take astronomical game from Jaylen but I mean from J Jason but I I it’s tough when you lead the team and everything and you don’t win MVP I can understand the argument yeah one thing that jumped out of me about the series as far as individual performances I came away feeling like I had no idea that one of the best shot blockers in the NBA is is is freaking Derek white I know right it’s like oh my goodness right how does he do that and I think uh maybe it was JJ reick last night or Doris or both them said he just doesn’t give up on plays I mean you see that he’s not a small guard necessarily but he is a guard contesting shots at the rim and getting a piece repeatedly that was that was shocking to me but it speaks to how Relentless Boston’s defense is and again as talented as they are there is a lot to be said when you’re playing defense and basketball for just not giving up yeah it is you know I’ll say this Derek white for me has come from nowhere like he came out of nowhere to be people are you know people are like this dude is not only serviceable but he’s a bonifide yes part of the Celtics a Bonafide starter a a piece of you know a lot of people gonna attribute Drew’s holidays you know uh um input with the Boston Celtics but all throughout this year and last year Derek white has kind of been one of those guys where people are like man Derek white he’s a integral part of what the Celtics do and I never saw that coming from Derek white prior to him being on the Celtics I thought he’d be a cool little bench guy I mean he’s really playing ball yeah he is his game has been elevated he’s made them better and maybe it’s being on a better team I don’t know but he has played so much better he’s made some big-time shots for them not just this year but last year too it’s funny I was looking up some things about him this morning and I ran across his piece on I think it was like a Celtics fan site and it said the Derek white trade has been a disaster for the like did not age well at all talked about how much they gave up for him they gave up a pick and a pick Swap and Romeo Langford for a guy that can’t really shoot I was like is this the same guy is this even really about Derek white so yeah I think he’s uh surprised a lot of people that team I think we all overreact every year whoever wins but I do think they should have an excellent chance to win again next year yeah I think so I it’s definitely going to depend on injuries yeah they they’ve done it and you know when you talk to people who’ve won a championship they always say you know the feeling you know what it takes to finally get there so that it helps you and assist you not saying it’s easy to repeat but it definitely allows you to say okay I’ve been experience in this you know I know how know what it’s going to take to get there I will say this though I’ve seen people argue and talk about how over the last 101 15 years the Eastern Conference um isn’t that weak like people have been arguing that online because you hear a lot of people saying well look the Celtics had a free walk they as I say they they had the the EAS on down the yellow brick road like it wasn’t very difficult I think if you get the Giannis healthy if you get the Jimmy Butler healthy if you get a Paul George you know creeping over to Philadelphia if you get a damee being healthy if you get a joem beid 100% in the playoffs which he wasn’t this year even Ty maxi missed a couple games in the postseason like if you get guys like that coming back healthy then yeah it’s going to be a little more difficult honestly I mean tremendously the Eastern Conference was a cakewalk for the Boston Celtics they didn’t get to see Giannis embiid like they didn’t get to see a lot of guys up that you know even the Knicks were banged up in the playoffs and I know they didn’t play him but they they didn’t get to see certain ones from Zack uh Randolph not not Randolph Julius Rand uh who am I trying Julius uh Nick Julius Rand excuse me I’m not Randolph Julius Randall not being hurt like there’s there’s some teams they missed on the way I think if you see some of these and we we can’t attribute what you know injuries hurt teams but I I thought they had a easy walk man I really do yeah they and some of that I think they would have had an easy walk anyway just because they’re that good we’ll never know but to your point they were very fortunate with the injuries last year they played Miami they fell down 03 they came back Force the game seven Tatum sprained his ankle in game seven this year I know porzingis got hurt um you know during the finals yeah but for the most part their main guys were especially you compare them to some of the other teams we saw this year even you know you look at Luca who looked like a wounded animal you mentioned the Knicks who were just falling apart and for the most part the Celtics looked like yeah porzingis is banged up but the rest of them were fine here yeah and that’s just you know good for them it’s just fortun it but they made the most of that now it’s funny because here we are talking about this and I say something measured like I think they could win it again next year that doesn’t cut it in today’s Sports Talk Radio I realize that because I just looked up at the screen and ESPN’s on here and somebody just asked Kendrick Perkins uh how many titles can this Celtic core win he said I see them winning three of the next four of course you got to put your name on it right that’s something we ask and like you said you can’t teeter totter across the fence Whitey three of the next four so that means they’re going to lose somewhere in between who knows what’s the NBA is going to look like in four years I have no idea although wi three of the next four you know not four of the next four but three they got clickbait man you know what it is you know what you got to do you can’t say like you said you can’t be in the middle on anything I think they could reasonbly win next year n that’s not gonna count so I gotta I gotta rethink that J I gotta win the next nine you know I don’t see any can’t win33 NBA okay I see where you’re going that’ll be Tatum’s last season he’s on his way out yeah right you got uh by then is Jaylen Brown’s son to be playing or something yes and Tatum won’t be the MVP of the finals until the ninth one he’ll finally he’ll finally he’ll get one on the last one yes the swan song yeah they’re gonna give him the swan song pton pritchard’s actually gonna get one before Tatum gets one is is Al Horford how long is he playing here uh he’s gonna be uh it’s probably just couple more years

congratulations to Jay once again the winner of the Wayback quiz uh let’s see what they call you somebody in the chat had a nickname for you Wayback JJ King of the way back way back I see it the title I’m about to start walking around with it I think dra’s getting a little frustrated by your winning streak as you should that’s what that’s what competitors do when you take the males back to back to back get frustrated too we’ll get back to the kings in just a second in the NBA but I wanted to know what Jay thought of this last night the Giants had a huge rally came from behind beat the Cub seven to6 and umpire auditor on Twitter pointed out that Manny Gonzalez who was the home home plate ump he missed 27 calls last night 27 calls uh which is a lot now and now we got word today from baseball that the automatic ball strike challenge system is coming to AAA and here’s the interesting thing to me it’s baseball so I know for a lot of people it’s not interesting at all they have the automatic ball strike system they’re going to use that I think for a week in Triple A just they’re just using the system then they’re going to use the challenge system which is each team will get two or three challenges Jay and baseball says they found that according to research fans say I would rather give umpires the opportunity to challenge than I would just have uh automatic ball strike do it all the time so they want the gamesman to me I just soon do one or the other and let’s not have challenges because I baseball’s slow enough as it is but they’re gonna have a challenge system in Triple A presumably to see you know what works best so they can bring it to the majors automatic Robo umpires if you will computer strike zones yeah I’m I’m I’m old school I guess just give me the up and with with people we know there’s going to going to be some things that are messed up right human error I I’m not sure where I feel it I I’ve heard arguments on each side I’m try it I guess I’m for if it if it corrects something that is a huge mistake and the problem is most people are going to say well doing in the last couple Innings when it counts then people are going to say well if it it counts the last two innings count than the first two innings count and so I’m not exactly sure where you fall on it’s above my pay grade when it comes to where they going with this how what’s your take on it like are are you I’ve been dead set against it like you forever the more I watch you know you see a hitter sometimes and you know better than we do better than most of us because you’ve seen it you see an Umpire call a strike on a guy like a bad pitch call a strike like early in the out bat and it just changes the whole outb guy yeah you know then he’s in a hole and that can change the whole game so I’ve got to the point now where it’s like all right I’m open maybe to the automatic ball strikes but if you’re going to do that I don’t want any part of a challenge system I hate that that the Umpire excuse me the manager has enough to worry about in a game right without having to worry about well do I challenge that how many challenges do I have the idea should be to get it right no matter what the um the the manager I keep saying that no matter what the manager thinks if he wants to challenge no just get it right right yeah you can’t challenge the Umpire the Umpire calls a strike by rule you can’t argue that you can be thrown out right yeah so why have challenges for ball strike how does that make the game in any way how does it make it better in any way it doesn’t to me I mean unless you want to be absolutely perfect and and this it’s kind of like the tennis thing you know you see the In-N-Out uh computer that is used and I I got to get the specific name of that for tennis but it works you see you still see players argue it and then the Umpire kind of like you know make a move get out of my face and you’ll get in trouble fines those type of things I think it’s the same situation when it comes to baseball I just think it has to make sense you know sens it has to make sense for the manager and the Umpire to come together in some form or fashion and for the Umpire to say Hey you actually might be right and most people don’t want to make admit mistakes and so it becomes a little more difficult and that’s the thing with B is is when you argue strikes and balls the Umpire is like no I called it it is what it is it stands and so to go back and continuously have to correct what umpires are doing it definitely slows the games down it definitely doesn’t make it interesting and I think just what you said you’ll probably get one strike or two strikes per inning where most you know batters or coaches are like man that’s not a strike but you take it and you move on how times are we gonna slow this thing down right right it’s part of baseball at this point human eror uh by the way on the text line here getting back to the Celtics Chris the mway is in Celtics would not have won so easily in the finals without Derek white and Drew holiday as well it was bugging me how Tatum was hogging that trophy yesterday he did not win it all alone yeah that was another thing the way Tatum was holding that thing and sure you can’t blame him for being a champion but it seemed like he was holding it as if to say this is mine yeah a lot of people talked about he wasn’t you know took pictures on the plane he wasn’t letting it go as they were going down the Disney World there was a couple opportunities that you saw people talking about the tarm MAAC few times in the car you know there there were some people just just like moms that was upset about Tatum not relinquishing a Larry O’Brien I ain’t never won a Larry O’Brien so I don’t know how I would feel but I definitely understand you know that you got to spread it around this isn’t tennis this isn’t a boxing match you you have teammates too yeah and Jaylen Brown who knows how he really feels but that was really cool and good for the team for him when he won the award to talk about Tatum I can’t talk enough about my teammate how unselfish he is that was great you I’ve heard this a few times and we might have to ask Draper this tomorrow most people say they’re businesslike I haven’t really heard anyone say they’re super connected at the hip though most people like they get along as stars they get along great which is which that’s all you need obviously they just want a championship but I haven’t I’ve never heard anybody say you know outside of business outside of work they they see them together so it’s an interesting Dynamic for them you know and now that they’ve won a championship the dynamic will of course change now that Jaylen Brown is the MVP and Jason Tatum is not I’m pretty sure the dynamic will change a little bit and we’ve even started to have some of the conversations here this postseason where people are questioning is Jaylen Brown better than Jason Tatum so the dynamic to me is going to change very quickly yeah they wouldn’t be again I I don’t know like you say who knows how what it’s really like between them but they wouldn’t be the first teammates on a really good team to kind of Drive each other like he did what well I’m gonna do more than that you know in a in a good way in a in a healthy way you know sometimes that works and you go back to we were just talking about the A’s you know the A’s couldn’t stand each other some of them but more than that they said all right but the guy we really can’t stand is the owner because he’s cheap so we’re going to win I don’t like you but let’s play together so we can win so as long as you’re you know you can be effective teammates and you can be an effective team as long as you realize we have to do this together the goal then goal yeah then go all right despite IT Major League the movie you know we’ll win despite this you know yeah absolutely I you know the Celtics have a for me they have a a promising future I think they’re a year or two later than where they would like to be when it comes to winning Championship also here they’re going to win three of the next four yeah according to Big per yeah and you got nine that’s right you’re on record for nine don’t forget that and so I I don’t know what they’re going to do you know for an encore because again I could have seen this team winning two years three years ago and they’ll be running into three or four Al Horford’s on his way out yeah porzingis you just never know they had a cakewalk injuries and the Eastern Conference the western conference is knocking on the door they’re right there I’m not sure you can rattle off three to four if you’re Boston I think they they have a you know they’re going to be in a mix the next two or three years four years maybe according to Kendrick Perkins and even you nine but I’m not sure what they do within that that time period yeah their core is like we were saying it’s interesting someone wrote this today their depth is at the top so their top six that’s where their depth is the rest you know normally we think a depth is being the bench guys so looking ahead to next year Derek white and Drew holiday I don’t know but I watch them play I don’t think they’re going to have any problems next year bringing their best effort again you know Drew H’s already won a championship as it was yeah it’s not like he took it easy so it’s GNA come down to Brown and Tatum next year how are they feeling are they feeling like you know what we worked a long time for this and we’re we want to win but we just were not able to give it our all this year that’s where they are they won’t win but if they’re you know they have that determination that we saw from most recently the Warriors where we got one but we want more then yeah look out want to be great we just have to see and they probably don’t even know the answer yet themselves yeah they probably don’t which as I say they got a promising future but I definitely say it’s a qu it’s a a future that could be questioned in many many ways as well and we’ll resume that tomorrow thanks for being with us stick around we have Infinity
