I did not.
11:52
We'll travel 49,000 miles, which is the most of any team in the NBA that is not going to Paris.
12:02
So San Antonio and New Orleans travel more, but they're going to Paris.
12:08
I think that's because we have...
12:12
I think we have more pl- I think we have more plane flights than I've ever seen us have.
12:16
I think we have 13-- between 13 and 15 single game road trips.
12:25
So if you just think about it, like if you go on a four-game road trip, you take five plane flights.

10 MINS LATER

Explain, please.

15:07
So San Antonio and New Orleans travel more, but they're going to Paris.
15:11
Um, I think that's because we have...
15:17
I think we have more pl- I think we have more plane flights than I've ever seen us have.
15:20
I think we have 13, between 13 and 15 single game road trips.

6:42
I think we have 13, between 13 and 15 single game road trips.

28:00
So San Antonio and New Orleans travel more, but they're going to Paris.
28:04
Um, I think that's because we have...
28:10
I think we're gonna have more pl- I think we have more plane flights than I've ever seen us have.
28:14
I think we have 13, between 13 and 15 single game road trips.
28:23
So if you just think about it, like, if you go on a four-game road trip, you take five plane flights.

120:23
I did not.

120:35
So San Antonio and New Orleans travel more, but they're going to Paris.

10 MINS LATER

131:09
Explain, please.
3:38
[laughs]
3:38
... with this kind of energy all about him.
3:40
And he would sit, like, in, uh...
3:41
And he would do it as hard as he could.
3:43
Everything.
3:44
There's a great story about Collin.
3:45
So Collin's kind of recruited, not really recruited.

11 MINS LATER

14:51
Sure.
36:27
We were waiting for the genius.
36:28
I mean, he made the point.
36:30
I mean, I think Summer League is one of the greatest marketing things in the world, and I think Summer League is, like, literally summer camp for NBA fan, fans.
36:42
If you have a chance to go, you should go.
36:44
It's amazing.
36:46
Um, from a NBA personnel standpoint or someone who's in the league, it's literally summer camp.
36:52
Like, it's so fun.
39:48
Understood, yeah.
4:22
Yeah.
4:23
When, when Mike Budenholzer did this with Brook Lopez in Milwaukee, he changed the league about se- what is that? Seven or eight, nine years ago.
4:29
And if you go look at whatever site you use, Clean the Glass is what I use, you can see it.
4:34
Like, the amount of shots at the rim just drops.
4:36
And defenses dictate how many times you get to the rim.
4:39
Offenses can dictate how many threes they take.
4:41
It's why Joe Mazzulla's teams take 53% of their shots is threes, and it works.
7:44
He said he's never seen somebody who has, who's as adept blocking shots with either hand.
5:35
I mean, he made the point.
5:37
I mean, I think Summer League is one of the greatest marketing things in the world, and I think Summer League is, like, literally summer camp for NBA fan, fans.
5:49
If you have a chance to go, you should go.
5:51
It's amazing.
5:52
Um, from a NBA personnel standpoint or someone who's in the league, it's literally summer camp.
5:59
Like, it's so fun.
6:00
You would have three days and you see everybody you've known for 30 years.

5 MINS LATER

11:26
Understood, yeah.
18:27
What do you think? Should the Jazz get in this? Where's the line in the sand but where they gotta get out of this, even if they have some early talks?
18:35
The conversation is reasonable because, quite honestly, if you slide him into our roster, it feels as though he fits much better than what you see with Lowry, Markkanen.
18:45
He's a natural small forward, and it fits better.
18:48
I, I...
18:49
And I understand that Jaylen Brown was a top five MVP candidate this year, and was really fabulous.
18:55
But Jaylen Brown is not the player that I would make this kind of move for.
19:03
Um, I, I don't think he's a number one, honestly.

10 MINS LATER

speaker_14UNKNOWN
29:08
Sure
23:51
That's the standard I'm setting.
23:54
If you're a number one or number two bet, of an NBA draft, and it's a great draft, your bowl should be the Hall of Fame, because that's where most of them end up.
24:02
So I don't know if I can go as high as you just went.
24:04
And again, Mitch Richmond's in the Hall of Fame, so you never know.
24:08
So maybe it's not as great, Zach, by the reference for TJ.
24:11
Yeah, I mean, the kid could be great.
24:19
I don't know really how to react to saying he should be one of the greatest guards to ever play the game.
speaker_13UNKNOWN
26:37
Sure.
2:44
What do you think? Should the Jazz get into this? Where's the line in the sand but where they got to get out of this, even if they have some early talks?
2:52
The conversation is reasonable because quite honestly, if you slide him into our roster, it feels as though he fits much better than what you see with Lauri Markkanen.
3:02
He's a natural small forward, and it fits better.
3:05
I, I-- And I understand that Jaylen Brown was a top five MVP candidate this year and was really fabulous, but Jaylen Brown is not the player that I would make this kind of move for.
3:20
Um, I, I don't think he's a number one, honestly.
3:25
Um, he's not efficient offensively.
3:28
He's, uh, he's, he-- Yeah, I mean, basically that's the issue with him.

12 MINS LATER

15:41
Sure
9:36
But I'm drafting two, so I'm thinking different.
9:39
Well, I actually think Cameron's the biggest...
9:41
Cameron might be my answer to both these questions.
9:44
Um, the biggest, I think the biggest upside is Cameron Boozer becomes a ball-handling point forward initiator of the offense.
9:55
I don't know that he's good enough to do this.
9:56
I, I...
9:57
But you're taking a swing.

6 MINS LATER

16:00
Right.
3:53
But I'm drafting two, so I'm thinking different.
3:56
Well, I actually think Cameron's the biggest.
3:58
Cameron might be my answer to both these questions.
4:03
I think the biggest upside is Cameron Boozer becomes a ball-handling, point-forward guy.
4:11
initiator of the offense.
4:12
I don't know that he's good enough to do this, but you're taking a swing.
4:17
I'm not sure his handle's really that good, and I'm not sure he really can get low enough to do this because if you have a high dribble, it's hard to do.

8 MINS LATER

11:59
Do you think Peterson is only working out for one team because he knows Washington is going to take him, or is he only working out for one team because he's trying to send a message to Washington, obviously I'm the number one pick and you should take me?
3:57
Mm
3:57
... we're trying to do something, and I admire any, all of, anyone who was with us from the beginning 'cause it was actually a ridiculous request.
4:04
Like, we're gonna get a local podcast paid.
4:06
Nobody'd ever done that.
4:07
We're gonna do it daily 'cause that's gonna get us enough inventory to make money.
4:11
No one had ever done that.
4:12
So th- this was a ridiculous request, but I remember Josh just got it.
8:21
[laughs]
11:07
Yeah.
11:07
Like, yeah, you just don't expect it in a different state and a completely different place.
11:11
Uh, my, my origin story starts a little after everybody else's.
11:14
Obviously, after David's.
11:15
But, uh, David had put out the, he...
11:18
You put out a tweet at some point saying, "I'm doing this.
11:20
I need, I need somebody to cover every single team.

37 MINS LATER

48:28
[laughs]
10:41
Well, what if he is Shea? That's the top shelf.
10:44
I guess I don't see him as Shea.
10:46
I don't see him with that kind of ball handling skill.
10:49
I actually think, okay, and I think his downside, find me a 6'6 guard who can shoot, who's been drafted in the top five, who's busted in the NBA.
11:00
Yeah.
11:02
Like, it doesn't exist.
11:04
Dion Waiters is the answer, but he averaged 12 points against Syracuse.

8 MINS LATER

18:44
One, I agree.
8:10
Well, what if he is Shea? That's the top shelf.
8:14
I guess I don't see him as Shea.
8:15
I don't see him with that kind of ball handling skill.
8:18
I actually think, okay, and I think his downside, find me a 6'6 guard who can shoot, who's been drafted in the top five, who's busted in the NBA.
8:29
Yeah.
8:31
Like, it doesn't exist.
8:33
Dion Waiters is the answer, but he averaged 12 points against Syracuse.

8 MINS LATER

16:13
One, I agree.
5:49
Well, what if he is Shea? That's the top
5:52
shelf.
5:53
I guess I don't see him as Shea.
5:54
I don't see him with that kind of ball handling skill.
5:57
I actually think, okay, and I think his downside, find me a 6'6 guard who can shoot, who's been drafted in the top five, who's busted in the NBA.
6:08
Okay.
6:10
Like, it doesn't exist.

10 MINS LATER

15:56
One, I –
28:25
Well, what if he is Shea? That's the top
28:28
shelf.
28:28
I guess I don't see him as Shea.
28:30
I don't see him with that kind of ball handling skill.
28:33
I actually think, okay, and I think his downside, find me a 6'6 guard who can shoot, who's been drafted in the top five, who's busted in the NBA.
28:44
Yeah.
28:46
Like, it doesn't exist.

8 MINS LATER

36:27
One, I agree.
3:52
Why get into podcasting then in the first place? What were you doing prior to that?
3:58
So I'm the radio announcer for the Utah Jazz.
4:01
So that's my other job.
4:02
I also was a program director of sports talk radio in our sports stations in the United States and then had moved to Seattle to be just a sports talk show host.
4:12
I'd been a sports talk show program director in 1995.
4:17
So very early in that realm.
4:19
So I think when podcasting came, I was really looking for just a vehicle.

13 MINS LATER

17:06
Yeah,
