00:00Now, back to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 The Game.
00:05All right, what's going on, everyone?
00:07It's time for the crossover.
00:09Evan getting Zipper, Matt Steinmetz.
00:10He'll be back tomorrow.
00:11Daryl, the Guru, Johnson, Rocko with us live at Chase Center.
00:14And now bringing the boys in from the Laughing Monk Studios, Mark Willard, Dan Dibley.
00:18What's up, gentlemen?
00:19How we doing?
00:20Hey!
00:21How we doing?
00:23Fantastic.
00:24You guys look locked and loaded in studio.
00:27That's what we do.
00:28Like, how did we get to sit in our regular chairs while we're talking to you?
00:32That was the rodeo.
00:32That was the rodeo up in Cash Creek.
00:34That was right.
00:35Brothers, we had ourselves a day.
00:38Oh, yeah.
00:39Okay?
00:39Two days, will you?
00:41Yeah.
00:41I checked in with you both.
00:43Oh, yeah.
00:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:45It was nice.
00:46Zucci made with the white tee.
00:47Yeah, Zucci, man.
00:48You saw it.
00:49Yeah, Zucci's like, I got my white tee, I got my George's.
00:52Let's play.
00:53It was incredible.
00:55We had a day out there.
00:56The only thing that Cash Creek did wrong had nothing to do with Cash Creek at all.
01:03It just was, it was 10 too many degrees.
01:06That's it.
01:06Mother nature.
01:07That's it.
01:07Mother bleeping nature.
01:09But Cash Creek was there with all the free water strategically placed throughout the course
01:15to make sure that we didn't die.
01:16So, dude, it was fantastic.
01:19Everything out there from the show to the food to the pool, the hot tub, the gambling, the golf, everything.
01:28Dude, we did it all.
01:29It was great.
01:30And even, like, at the end of the golf, so you come off 18, it's like, okay, it's hot, and this was fun,
01:36and the course is great, and the guy walks up to you with a tray of, was it watermelon towels, or was it, like, melon?
01:44Oh, right.
01:44I think it was mango.
01:46I couldn't remember the fruit.
01:48It's got a touch of mango in it.
01:48So he gives you a towel that is ice cold and wet.
01:54Yep.
01:54And, you know, you've been out in the heat for four and a half hours, and I couldn't remember the fruit.
01:59Yeah.
01:59Because I was, like, a little delirious.
02:00I could be wrong.
02:01Mango towel.
02:02Yeah.
02:02And I was like, yeah, okay, I'm going to go ahead and, like, cool off with a little mango schmear on this towel.
02:08I felt like John Miller.
02:10That towel is wet.
02:11Totally.
02:11Put that thing on the back of your neck and just make everything okay.
02:15Yeah, it was great.
02:16I'm glad you guys had a great time.
02:18The boss just left.
02:19I couldn't wait for you two.
02:20It's all about NBA free agency.
02:22He never tells us what to talk about or what not to.
02:26But Willard and Dibbs, I have no answers real quick for the Giants.
02:30I don't know what I'm watching, and I'm not blaming it.
02:34I just, what's going on?
02:36Oh, God.
02:37So I have something potentially, like, this is a downer.
02:45This is a downer.
02:46Debbie Downer.
02:47It's you.
02:48You, Debbie.
02:48You said you, not Willard.
02:51No, no, no.
02:52No, it's not from me.
02:53It's from inside the building.
02:55Oh, no.
02:56Uh-oh.
02:57Now, this is one person's opinion, and I will not say who this person is.
03:03Buster Posey.
03:04It's not Buster.
03:05I will eliminate Buster.
03:07It's also not Farhan.
03:08Don't ask any more questions.
03:10That's as far as I go.
03:11It's neither of them.
03:12But someone who is employed by the San Francisco Giants in some way, shape, or form, this person,
03:21I ran into him this morning, and we're chatting, and we're like, man, what the hell's going on?
03:25And this person immediately goes, I had all kinds of hesitation about the acquisition of Rafi Devers.
03:33And I said, now, hold on a second.
03:35What the heck could that have to do with this?
03:37You don't get worse when you get better players.
03:41Right.
03:41That's not how this works.
03:42You know what that is, right?
03:44It's a hesitation sensation.
03:46Absolutely.
03:46I was like, denigration?
03:49No, no, no.
03:50There was hesitation.
03:51Anyway.
03:51Your source.
03:52So this person states, they're like, I just think that the second he got here, that team
03:59prior to his arrival was just vibing with each other at such a level.
04:04They loved each other.
04:05The clubhouse was just turned all the way up.
04:08And it wasn't just Devers.
04:09It was also Chapman gets hurt.
04:11The clubhouse loves Fitzgerald.
04:14He goes into a slump.
04:15He gets sent down.
04:17It's not the reason.
04:20But for whatever all of it is, this person states to me, like, it just since then has
04:26not felt the same.
04:28It just, the clubhouse just doesn't feel the same.
04:32Will, can I be honest?
04:33Because that's a bomb.
04:35He hadn't been here so long.
04:37Do you think that's unfair?
04:39But you just kind of answered it by saying it's not all him.
04:43But, I mean, were they playing over their heads before they got him?
04:49And maybe they're coming.
04:50Did we overestimate them collectively, the team, before Devers?
04:55And now, you know, I'm asking because I don't know.
04:57But I feel like that's a, I'm not saying that guy's wrong.
05:00But that would be kind of heavy to lay at his doorstep.
05:04And he hadn't been here 15 games, you know?
05:06Yeah, definitely not laying it at the doorstep in the way of blame.
05:09But it's just like, it's like you, whatever your favorite meal is that you make at home,
05:14and then suddenly, right before you're about to eat it, you added another ingredient.
05:19And you're like, oh, it doesn't taste the same.
05:22And that's kind of the way they were describing it.
05:24This wasn't a blame thing or whatever.
05:26And quite frankly, I will say this, as an outsider, I don't really kind of accept the opinion.
05:32Because I don't really accept it because I'm like, you don't get to do that as a pro athlete.
05:39You can't be like, oh, we were fine, and then they gave us a really good player,
05:43and now I'm not performing anymore.
05:46Like, here would be my rebuttal.
05:48My rebuttal is, you just went one and five last week.
05:52You barely played any major league players the entire week.
05:55Like, you went one and five, and there were a few things that your players did out there on that field
06:00that I would have been mad at my 11-year-old if he did on a field.
06:03So, like, to me, this is not clubhouse.
06:07I don't think too many people are talking about Melvin.
06:10Way too many people are talking about Burrell.
06:12This is a player problem, in my opinion.
06:15I totally agree.
06:17I mean, I think to place it at the footstep of Devers, it's obviously coincidental,
06:22but I think that's exactly what it is.
06:23Like, them being 4-8 is not because Devers is hitting second and not getting things done.
06:28You're 4-8 in the last two weeks because you're hitting 196, the runners in scoring position.
06:33You're getting picked off in ninth innings.
06:35You're not working from ahead.
06:36Your bullpen is regressing a little bit, and your offense is exactly the same
06:40and performing a little bit worse.
06:41Like, to me, the Giants have, yes, ran into bad teams that have made them look awful,
06:45but I do think that pointing to Devers, that's kind of low-hanging fruit to me.
06:52Like, if you didn't think that the Devers trade was going to go well because it wasn't going to age well,
06:57that's something I'll hear.
06:58But the immediate returns, I am not, in any shape or form, going to look at him and say,
07:03you're the problem.
07:04No, they're all the problem.
07:06And you look at Jung-Hoo Lee, who has been patently bad over this stretch.
07:10Willie Adamas has yet to actually show the form.
07:14And, Evan, I want to ask you as a former pitcher about Ryan Balker.
07:17Like, what's going on with –
07:19That's a 3.
07:20It's at least a 4.
07:22Tim George laughing.
07:24The way that he is –
07:26That was such a 4 that that took me a minute.
07:29Like, five seconds later, I'm like, Ryan Balker?
07:33Does he pitch for the White Sox?
07:35I missed that one.
07:36He sounds like a Marlin.
07:37Evan, you were a D2 pitcher.
07:40Like, have you ever gone through that?
07:42Does he have the yips?
07:43Like, he comes out of the stretch and he doesn't know where to put his foot now?
07:47And I know it didn't really cost him the game, but it cost him a run.
07:51And his reaction after was like, I don't even –
07:54It felt like I don't even know how to do this anymore.
07:57Well, first of all, D3.
07:59Secondly –
08:00I apologize.
08:01Yeah.
08:01I thought Walla Walla was D2.
08:03No, you're giving me a little bit too much credit.
08:05I can't take it.
08:06What is Ryan Walker's issue?
08:08He isn't the same version as himself last year.
08:12I do think a big reason is he's thinking about where his foot's going.
08:15Like, I always found it fascinating that you want to go back to Jared Weaver.
08:20There are these crossfire guys that throw across their body,
08:24and it's like they're going to throw out their spine every time they release a baseball.
08:27And Walker's been fantastic, but he can't locate.
08:32And to me, that's exactly – the reason why is he's having an issue with where he's planting.
08:37But neither here nor there.
08:39He could be Ryan Balker.
08:40He could be – a couple of my friends called him Ryan Walkoff early in the season.
08:44Oh, boy.
08:45Yeah, a little bit of a low blow.
08:47But the fact is he is, I think, representative of the regression of the bullpen.
08:53And I think the biggest reason why some of those guys have taken a step back
08:57is because the starting pitching is not eating as many itdings as it did early in the year.
09:03So you're having to rely more on the Walkers or the Bivens or the Luke Casey's,
09:09and then you're going to give up some runs where your offense just can't get them back.
09:14I don't think Walker has any idea where the ball's going anymore.
09:18Like, that's what bothers me when I watch him is – and, you know, like, first of all,
09:23he's falling behind in the count.
09:24And second of all, then his get-in pitches, they're just – they're right down Broadway.
09:29They're right down Broadway.
09:30They've got a book on him now because of last year, and so they're totally ready for him.
09:35I don't know.
09:36Like, that's an interesting comment you make, Evan.
09:38Like, the starting pitching, to me, largely still feels pretty good.
09:43Do you know what I mean?
09:44Like, Robbie Ray has another really good outing.
09:47I thought Verlander was very shaky yesterday, but then when you look at his line score,
09:51you're like, okay.
09:52Left the game 2-1 up.
09:54You gave up one run in six innings.
09:56I know half the outs were at the wall, but still, you gave up –
10:001,100 feet of –
10:01Yeah.
10:01Yeah.
10:02I mean, that was –
10:03Out to the second inning.
10:04That was the loudest quality start I've ever seen in my life, but whatever.
10:08He did it.
10:08Oh, my God.
10:09So, like, I don't know, man.
10:10I think they're getting enough out of those guys.
10:13I hear what you're saying, but it's hard to look at this team right now
10:16and not focus solely on the offensive side.
10:19No doubt about it.
10:20And the base is loaded with Ramos.
10:22I'm not blaming him.
10:23It's just like, man, they are all infected, but real quick to your point, Willard,
10:27and I'm being real, and I was a guy that was hard on Matt Williams,
10:30and that was just third base, but at what point do we say as a collective
10:35if it's not Melvin and Burrell – and I'm not saying it is, but when we say,
10:41hey, hitting coach, you're doing a great job, or manager, you're doing a great job,
10:46at what juncture do we just check what's under the hood in regard to Melvin?
10:51I feel like every game, regardless of how it plays out, he's the same, and to his credit.
10:57But I'm just wondering, like, we've got to be able to judge both of those guys at their job,
11:03and right now, you know, Melvin's responsible for this team.
11:07Could a different approach maybe get them out of this, whatever it is, quicker?
11:11And as far as Burrell, how do we judge what he or what he's not doing
11:16by watching all these guys not be able to hit the ball right now?
11:19That's always a tough one for me because, you know, you've got Devers and Adamas
11:23who come in with pedigree and stats and a career as a hitter,
11:28and now you're having a bad year, and, you know, Devers, 12 games, whatever.
11:32Does that fall in the hitting coach?
11:33Is he telling these guys who have done very well in the league,
11:37is he telling them things and they're doing those things,
11:40and now they're not succeeding?
11:42That's always a hard one for me.
11:44And Matt Williams at third base, I think that, you know,
11:46he got caught up in three or four tough decisions.
11:49He made calls that didn't actually work out.
11:51And think about the game on, what, Saturday when they lost 1-0?
11:55That's not Matt Williams' fault.
11:57Wisely.
11:58You get wisely.
11:59He gets picked off when the catcher goes snap throw,
12:02and you get picked off.
12:03And all the little things, and we all agree that the Giants are going to win
12:07by being buttoned up in the little things.
12:10They're not going to beat many teams 11-8.
12:12They're going to have to win tight games by being tight.
12:16And right now, this team is not tight.
12:18And, you know, they're a little sloppy when they need to be tight.
12:22Yeah.
12:23No, I'm 100% with you.
12:24You're listening to 95.7 The Game, KGMZ FM and HD1 San Francisco.
12:29An Odyssey Sports Station, a home of the Golden State Warriors and Valkyries,
12:32always live on the free Odyssey app.
12:34Coming to you live from Chase Center.
12:35The boys back at the Laughing Monk Studios.
12:37Laughing Monk righteously brewed in San Francisco.
12:40Well, kind of on the eve of NBA free agency.
12:44Well, the last hour, I should say, is underway.
12:4759 minutes to go.
12:49You like Al Horford, Willard?
12:50Sure.
12:51I mean, it fits right in.
12:55You guys will like this story.
12:56I do this often.
12:58I call my parents on my way in.
13:01I can't call them on the way home because they're always like,
13:03we're just sitting down to dinner.
13:04So I have to call them on my way to work.
13:06And so they always, they're big Bay Area sports fans,
13:10even though they've moved down to Southern California.
13:12And so my dad jumps on and goes, what's the latest with the Warriors?
13:15What's going on?
13:16I said, well, there's not much yet, but the rumor of the day is Al Horford.
13:22And my mom and dad both, they go, he's so old.
13:27Oh, boy.
13:29Mind you, both of them are in their 80s.
13:32So people in their 80s think Al Horford is old.
13:36But I also said he'll fit right in.
13:39He'll fit right in.
13:40And he's still good.
13:42He's still a good player.
13:44So that's for the moment until it's reality.
13:47He's so old that you and I.
13:50How old is he?
13:51Well, he's so old that you and I have known each other for,
13:54we kind of figured it out.
13:56It's been 20 or so years.
13:57And when I met you, he was playing at Florida.
14:02Yeah, he was on the floor.
14:02I met you at the Final Four when Florida won the first of two national championships.
14:08And it's like, hey, oh, you work with Tony Bruno.
14:10I do a thing with Tony every day.
14:12Ha, isn't this great?
14:13Nice to meet you, Mick Willard.
14:15It's actually Mark.
14:16Dave?
14:16No, it's Dan.
14:17And so we got to know each other.
14:18Al Horford is in college at that point.
14:20And he's still playing.
14:22So I get what they're trying to do.
14:24If you're old and maybe they should have Priest be a part of their front office.
14:29He's too old.
14:30That's a three.
14:31Because you go from old to older.
14:33And I actually shared this on our thread earlier.
14:36This might be, if they bring in Al Horford,
14:38could they be the oldest team in the history of the association?
14:42And I'm going to do the research.
14:45Oh, deep dive dibs.
14:46I love it.
14:47And I'll say this because Evan's channeling this.
14:49I'm calling him baby Stiney today.
14:51He don't even know it.
14:53Listen, life is about second chances, right?
14:56What about one DeAndre Ayton, if you could get him for cheap?
15:00Are you guys so out on the ball player?
15:02Because he's got talent.
15:04But Evan's like, I don't want him here.
15:06He didn't say it that way.
15:07But where are you at when you hear that name, Willard or Dibs?
15:11DeAndre Ayton, who is not, to me, a stiff.
15:14You get him here in this culture?
15:15My eyebrows went up when I saw that come down yesterday.
15:21When I saw that news come down, I was like, oh.
15:24Oh, and he's still, boy, his numbers, right?
15:29He's a productive player.
15:31Sure.
15:31But, like, Goo, it's almost like you're answering your question with your own laughter right now.
15:37What's making you laugh?
15:39The laughter was I'm hugging you through the thing because I need some help.
15:42And for the fact that your eyebrows went up.
15:44Don't get a lifeline.
15:45You're in the club.
15:45I took that as your end.
15:47And Dibs, we've seen the Warriors help guys out.
15:50You know, this pedigree and this culture.
15:52And the dude can shoot.
15:54He can rebound.
15:54He just needs his furnace lit, man.
15:57Right, but if you want to look at it, and I'm hearkening back to the old Eddie Murphy bit when, you know, I got some ice cream and you don't have none.
16:07You can't afford it.
16:09Delirious.
16:10They can't afford it.
16:11He's not coming in and making the vet men.
16:14And they bought him out for $35, and if you're a team that wants a big, you might give him, I don't know, what, two years and $40?
16:22The Warriors can't afford that.
16:24I don't know.
16:25I don't think he's going to command that.
16:26I really don't.
16:27That's what, man.
16:27What's he going to command?
16:29And whatever it is, they can't afford it.
16:30No, but I don't know if I agree with that.
16:32Yeah, because he's a guy now, there's enough, like, again, Guru starts laughing, there's a reason.
16:38This guy's got baggage.
16:40And there is a team that's trying to be good next year that just decided we don't even want you here.
16:45In fact, we'll pay you money to leave.
16:47DeAndre Ayton, to me, feels like he needs a one-year deal somewhere to go sort of bump up his value again.
16:54And so guys like that end up coming cheap.
16:57Now, I don't know that he fits the Warriors.
17:00I don't know.
17:01You know, they want people, they want a big who fits with Draymond Green on the floor and therefore spreads the floor and makes you defend the three-point line and all of that.
17:11And I think that's why Al Horford's probably more interesting to them than DeAndre Ayton.
17:16Yeah, I agree.
17:18I mean, I think it's got to be someone who can shoot the ball from three-point range.
17:22And Ayton really isn't that guy.
17:26Defensively, he doesn't give you much either.
17:27And I think it's going to be like an overpay from the Lakers or some team like that.
17:32But the thing about Horford that, I guess, just kind of jumps out immediately, it's like your four and your five are Draymond Green and Al Horford.
17:42And neither of them are 30-minute players anymore.
17:46Maybe in the playoffs, I don't know.
17:48But, like, you're going to go through 82 games.
17:51Age regardless, those guys are probably 27-minute a guy per night.
17:55And it's like that's what you're going to roll out.
17:58They can't be done.
17:59Like, there has to be something else that comes after this.
18:02I understand why he's a top target, because he fits all these different boxes, checks the boxes.
18:08But there has to be something after this.
18:12Of course there will be.
18:13And this is where I duck and run out of the room.
18:15But don't forget the Jonathan Kaminga trade that's coming.
18:19Well, you don't have to duck.
18:20Did you leave?
18:21I mean, it's radio, so I left.
18:25I did.
18:25I left, but then I came back.
18:27All right.
18:27Yeah.
18:27No, I think that that's coming.
18:29I think that's coming.
18:30I'm going to rescind my prediction on Friday, just based on the current reports.
18:34I had predicted that we would get a Jonathan Kaminga trade by 6 o'clock tonight.
18:38Uh-huh.
18:38Sounds like I'm going to be very wrong on that.
18:41Oh, boy.
18:41Then again, I'm not wrong until I'm wrong, because I also think that this is a lot of posturing.
18:46You know, the Warriors are putting out to a reporter that, oh, this is going to drag on.
18:50And, or maybe Kaminga's agent is putting out to a reporter that this is going to drag on.
18:56And that tells me that one of the sides wants a reporter to report that it's going to drag on.
19:00Which kind of like, that's a leverage play.
19:03So, but we're also getting a list of teams that may be interested.
19:07The more I read, the more I see.
19:09Don't you guys all get the feel?
19:11The Warriors and Kaminga do not want to, they don't want to be together anymore.
19:15No, I get that.
19:16I told Evan.
19:17So then you've got to figure something out.
19:18But can they afford to say night-night to him, Willard, and get something lesser?
19:21That's what scares me.
19:23That's why I think it could go long.
19:26I get it.
19:26I get it.
19:27But, again, they just, they are competing interests right now.
19:31I know that this bothers people.
19:33I understand why it bothers them.
19:35And forever, we may watch him become a really good player and never fully understand why he couldn't integrate himself into the system.
19:43But I also think that if we let our minds wander a little bit, I think that would be healthy here.
19:48Because a lot of people are just like, he's a good player.
19:51Why can't you play him?
19:52Well, let's push that a little bit further.
19:54It's almost like the Devers thing I just brought up.
19:57I think there's a lot more going on behind the scenes that people don't really realize.
20:01Nobody wants to come out and rip the other side.
20:04But the bottom line is, is the Warriors have asked Jonathan to do certain things that he won't do.
20:12And he wants to do things out there that the Warriors won't let him do.
20:17And so we're good.
20:18I think we're just going to have to get comfortable with the fact that they're not a mix.
20:24He can be good.
20:25They can be good.
20:26It's just, it doesn't mix.
20:29And if you want to call that a failure of the Warriors, you're allowed to.
20:33I understand it.
20:34But at the same time, they're trying to win this year.
20:37And I don't think that anybody wants this drama come regular season time.
20:43We played some audio dibs of Willard of Sham saying something big is going to happen today or tonight.
20:50And Evan and I were throwing around outside of just Golden State here.
20:55What constitutes big?
20:56Do you think LeBron could be on the move?
20:58I don't know what.
21:00But what I think Ja Morant could be.
21:02Like, he has to know something.
21:04Why would he say big tonight?
21:06Well, and he has been saying big.
21:08Like, it's going to be the biggest offseason in history.
21:10And so, I do think that big might start happening here at 3 o'clock.
21:15And Ja actually is a name that I do look at as somebody who could be on the move.
21:20Maybe somebody who needs a change of scenery.
21:23And if you're Memphis, you're already kind of dismantling what you have.
21:26So, you know, you're either all in or you're all out in the NBA if you're doing it right.
21:31And, you know, you've got Washington and Brooklyn and other teams that have kind of decided that they're going to be all out.
21:37And, you know, Portland doing what they did with Aiton.
21:39Not that he's a centerpiece, but, you know, you start to look at where you are as a team.
21:43And you've got to make hard choices.
21:45And the Warriors are all, you know, doubled down and bought in on being all in for whatever that means.
21:50And, you know, last year they were one of the last eight teams playing.
21:53And so, they feel like they're still close enough.
21:56But I do think when 3 o'clock hits here in 50 minutes and 22 seconds, I do think you're going to start to see some stuff happen.
22:03I mean, yeah, this offseason feels like, you know, there's the stuff like Kevin Durant that you see coming.
22:10And then there's the stuff like Desmond Bain that you didn't see coming.
22:14And I do think that a very fair chance before Dibs and I are done today that some stuff that we didn't see coming suddenly shows up.
22:22You guys bring up Ja.
22:23What about his teammate?
22:24What if it's Jaron Jackson?
22:25Yeah.
22:26What if it's Sabonis?
22:27Hell, what if it is LeBron?
22:30I was just going there, Willard.
22:32Yeah.
22:32Like, I think that we can look around the league and you can see the teams that are at least, you know, dancing around this idea.
22:41I know Cleveland is in a really interesting spot.
22:44Is it Darius Garland?
22:46Is he on the move?
22:47I think those are the types of names I think we're looking at.
22:51Yeah.
22:51I mean, look, Shams hasn't been wrong yet.
22:53I didn't take it for his word when he said it is going to be, you know, the biggest one of all time.
22:57It just seemed kind of like hyperbole.
22:59But if things are still to come and you've already seen Bain move, KD move, my mind instantly goes to Giannis.
23:06You know, I don't know if that means he's available for Golden State.
23:10But, like, because they signed Portis, I woke up and I felt a little lukewarm on it.
23:15But to me, when I think big, like, I think of a top five player.
23:19And I don't know if LeBron is that anymore.
23:23So, to me, that kind of leaves one dude.
23:25And I guess when I hear big, I'm expecting the report that Giannis Antetokounmpo has requested a trade.
23:31And then all hell breaks loose.
23:33You know, it's possible.
23:35You know, you wouldn't fault him for it.
23:37He's done his bidding there in Milwaukee for a long time.
23:40And it felt to me, though, like that would have been out before, before now.
23:45But maybe he's just waiting until 3 o'clock to make that public.
23:48But I did think that the Bobby Portis re-sign kind of indicated to me that maybe, you know,
23:55Milwaukee's trying to tell Giannis, like, we still think that we have a chance.
23:59And, you know, with Boston down a star.
24:01And Indiana, they're down their star.
24:04And Philadelphia's broken.
24:05And you look around the east and it feels kind of wide open.
24:08So, maybe the Giannis thing waits another, not maybe a year, but maybe a half a year.
24:14Yeah.
24:14No, no doubt.
24:15Well, we're looking forward to it.
24:17And, obviously, we're going to be glued to Willard and Diggs.
24:19We'll probably have breaking news.
24:21Yeah, exactly.
24:21It's going to be coming out during the middle of your show.
24:23So, have fun reacting to, hopefully, it sounds like big news.
24:26I mean, do you guys want to do the exercise with us right now?
24:29We're almost going to play this with listeners at one point.
24:31Oh, yeah.
24:31Randy, do you have the, I want to let everyone know, there is no breaking news right now.
24:36Yeah, just the first three seconds of the sounder.
24:37Just give us a little taster.
24:38All right, if you hear that, if you hear that an hour from now, what do you want us to say?
24:47What are you hoping, what are you hoping gets said on the radio right after that?
24:52Wow.
24:52Can I go first, Emma?
24:53Go.
24:54Jaron Jackson Jr. has been acquired by the Golden State Warriors and has signed a trade for John Dick Amiga.
25:00I thought you were going to say Draymond.
25:02No, no, Jaron Jackson Jr.
25:04Yeah, for me, all paths lead back to J.K.
25:09Give me Kaminga to the Pelicans for Trey Murphy.
25:12How about that?
25:12Oh, I like that one.
25:14Yeah, that's a good one.
25:15I like that one.
25:16That's great.
25:16I don't know if the Warriors, do the Warriors have the financial wherewithal to go get a big, expensive player?
25:25I've sort of prepared myself for the answer being no.
25:27I thought it would have to be a three-team trade to get past that.
25:31For sure, but there's, like, even if you do all that, you still have to then, like, you have to acquire and sign or at least afford the player,
25:40and that's with Draymond and Jimmy and Steph and all, like, all on your own.
25:45Well, yes, depending.
25:46I mean, Jaron Jackson Jr. makes 23.4, so that could be a sign-and-trade, and you throw in a, you know, a buddy or, you know, a moody,
25:56depending on what the sign-and-trade number is, so that's one that actually could be possible.
26:00But, yeah, I mean, trades are hard, even though Mike Dunleavy has made about eight of them.
26:05I mean, it seems like they are kind of hard.
26:07And they did just pick up a couple of young talents we talked to earlier today, Will Richard and Alex Toohey,
26:13who may just need to fill out the back end of that roster.
26:16That's true.
26:16That's true.
26:17Oh, and Jaron is expiring after this year.
26:19Yes, he is.
26:20Yes, he is.
26:21All right.
26:21We'll be listening, boys.
26:22Yeah, we're looking forward to it.
26:23Go Giants, right?
26:24Appreciate you.
26:24They'll get it tonight.
26:25They'll get it tonight, Willard.
26:28How many days in a row can we be like, they better, and then they don't, and then you're like, well, they better win the next one.
26:34Yeah, they're going to lose it one to nothing.
26:36I got to.
26:37Thanks, Adam.
26:38Sorry.
26:39Willard and Dibs coming up next.
26:41We're going to keep it locked right here on 95.7 The Game.
