Greetings welcome in our one the Jason Smith show here in the Geico studios of Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith off tonight consuming mass quantities of barbecue perhaps having his own yeah you know your days off the bike We're going to do tight sure what we're going to do he called in he said I ate too many hot dogs I tried to down 72 cans of wound to the horse already you missed that last night we had a competitive eater Eric Denmark on talking about well the fact that he has once consumed horse from a late night bender in Italy he goes into the whole show go to itunes download the podcast from there and listen to it in all its gory details we're going to be live from the Geico box wars radio studios 15 minutes could save you 15 percent or more on her insurance there's a guy go dot com Get some a free rate quote as I say Jason Smith is out will make up reasons for his absence later posted but he's gluttony put in for an errant tour as you've heard him on the show many a time during his pre-draft run up and certainly during the college basketball season he joins us tonight are you ready lot of activity for you I am ready you know I've been kind of labeled the low ball bball Whisperer throughout right so there's no I'm going to show my versatility my flex but you know we're talking everything tonight I mean you guys are talking horsemeat last night so this is going to. Going a lot of different directions excited to be here thank you for having me just be ready do you know zag and change direction that's what we're all about here as those straight lines in this process we don't have any story necessarily directly we try to spider things out as you well know from jumping in the ball family though did give everybody a little bit of a holiday gift and I know they didn't discount any prices but they did release red white and blue shoes today very 495 of a very patriotic of them yes now I would think you would have kind of blended the red white and blue together because nobody's buying all 3 you like there's no discount for buying each set and you don't have 3 feet well that is true but it also now becomes the collector's item of the true shoe Nick so I think this is that there I don't know this for sure but I assume that the true shoe nicks are the do whatever you call in the show this is here and that's right yes take your heads now you've got to get all 3 you got to get the ones that match and of course there is also the purple and gold for the workers there's a pretty good looking shoes but they are they are in by the way that's one thing they haven't got enough credit for it they actually put out really really nice stuff now they stole from Colby on the over I mean that was that was blatant that some design Well yeah you know I have to defend him here it's almost friends it's like that was like 4 models ago so we're good it's he's put that in the rearview it still has a ship though Aaron will tell you that as we go now obviously the biggest story of the day is the Gordon Hayward signing Finally we get this long nightmare on like he was the last man standing in terms of your big dollar big ticket items and coveted free agent not to say that other guys aren't wanted and we'll talk about one in particular here in a moment who's going to look at a massive payday and wow the team that had him were hoping to get him to repeat resign on the cheap and unfortunately for him or for them I should say it did not happen but with Gordon Hayward this was the logical move as we were discussing it. A little bit when you've joined us in the past as we were leading up to this point every checkbox other than I can get more money right now and the whole quote unquote loyalty thing everything else was leave and go to Boston or go to Miami Boston obviously the familiarity with Brad Stevens and just the history and everything that is built for now instead of all right you're another piece or you there but we saw with Boston they were the number one seed by default because Cleveland took a bunch of games off Le Bron James took a week and a half vacation at the end of the year so he's faced it out a little bit but all in all they've kind of slipped walk through the 2nd half of the season so the number one seed but for the blue thumb of Rondo as I keep saying on the show they might have gone home and the wizardry of Danny Ainge would have been questioned a bit more but as we know they go and they run deep and finally get their comeuppance as Isaiah Thomas is hurt the hip injury but they have all the pieces and now waiting in free agency do they swing a deal and whatever you believe about what this Celtics offer to the Pacers and why they wouldn't trade him for spite somewhere in there the truth lies in the Be a couple of great books are 30 for 30 years that will come out down the line back to the matter is the Celtics finally make a big move today a couple hours after we thought it was going to happen but now Gordon Hayward is that guy in Boston and the big dollars and big expectations that he's going to put him over the top Yeah I mean it's fascinating there's so many layers to this and I think the big 1st one was the idea that we spent all day waiting for and I mean. You know Gordon Hayward fringe all star stealing 4th of July from us I mean at least Kevin Durant's got the process over early last year you know look my initial take away is kind of everything that you just said on my come in the 1st thing is it felt like they had about hit a ceiling in Utah and you looked at the team that they had they had good young pieces but is that anywhere close to what the goal. And State Warriors are of course on is it anywhere close to what the Spurs are at full strength of course not is it is it full is it anywhere near the rockets no and so you look at Gordon Hayward he's this I don't even think emerging star think he is I think he's probably a little bit better than the average fan realizes and you've kind of hit your ceiling in Utah you're not getting past the 2nd round and as you said you now go to a team that was the number one seed that one right around 60 games and then oh by the way took a game off of Cleveland and maybe I don't know if he becomes the missing piece but he certainly makes it more interesting going into next year but as we look at it right when we talk about Utah and obviously he and go bear you have Rubio flies over from Spain to try to make the pitch and everything everybody's excited there to retain him there just there was no push in terms of Ok I could be happy here and I could be the long term guy and I could be the face of his franchise the face since Stockton Malone that's how long a gap you have to where you really have a guy but when you're competitive look you're getting paid regardless right and depending on the final structure of this deal how many years before he gets to free agency and what that next contract looks like you're still talking about a guy who's going to make. Hundreds of millions of dollars when it's all said and I was going to say give zillions but then you might have somebody to take you literally and then we have a problem but the idea being if you want to when everybody's left the east it's Le Bron in the Cavs by default at this point right how Lowry Stein's back in Toronto where he's already waived the white flag once saying as long as Le Bron's here nobody has beaten him yet there he is back in Toronto and then you have Boston sitting there there's no other team really ready made you've got Washington and we'll get to them because they're key to this other big dollar free agent drama this evening but there's really nothing else the gap is so wide between the top couple of teams and everybody else in the Eastern Conference it's a no brainer to just say Ok Wait I go to a storied franchise that's ready to win now that still has assets going forward right we saw Jason Tatum and made everybody get all the feels with his 7 seconds left jump shot so all of a sudden he's wringing their hands and say look what they've got now and so for Gordon Hayward It's Ok I can toil in the West and if I win if I win the any level then I'm a hero because look at that I took the tougher road you know what sometimes a tougher road just for a sucker Ok that's a hard makes a great right with Costner said you know when you and Tom Hanks in a league of their own 25th anniversary of that right in baseball and we talk about all that but in the n.b.a. There's there's nothing for finishing 4th though you get no wards we're not talking participation drop fees you want to when you're still cashing checks go try to win I was going to say the harder it's for suckers because you look at Kevin Durant's a year ago what literally a year ago today maybe you were on air here I don't know we were yeah every we thank him for making that show too yeah and so Oh he's there's no loyalty and there were burning jerseys last 40 year just want an n.b.a. Title was n.b.a. For. I don't envy p. Is in a great situation just sacrifice money and so what should people still don't like See that's just it will that you're going to get people angry at you I think that's for suckers to what sacrificing money for the good of the team Yeah so yes so does this he should because if he ever going to be considered and this is the larger point with Kevin Durant even if they win 2 more titles are you ever thinking of Kevin Durant's in that same error as Le Bron James if he wins 3 titles I'm not or we're starting to get towards magic or Colby or any of those guys at this point he can win 5 and I'm never going to think of him that way just based on where the n.b.a. Is right now see we say no but if you had told me a year ago that within one year Steph Curry would be in the corner shooting jump shots and that this would become Kevin Durant's team like it did over the course of these n.b.a. Playoffs when he was finals m.v.p. Averaged 30 something I think that is so funny but that's I think that was more in media push than anything else you would have had already had the run one step had a hell of a series but he was an afterthought he said I didn't game for other things game for game 4 he was off we had what but for the rest of the series he had a great series turnovers are always high with stuff that that's that's a whole other thing but he had a good scoring series he had a good assist total He had a great series but he became the afterthought because Kevin Durant was the shiny new kid on the block he became an afterthought because he was the 2nd best player as own team that's what I feel like and so I just say that to say that narrative change really quick in all of sports sure we need a 1000 words and we need a fast Gordon Hayward by the way on deadline today I mean you know this letter came out of nowhere you know you he supposedly had not made up his mind that we get 2100 words and what we are waiting on the letter to get proof read I guess that I saw this was they wanted their own story that was. He went to Butler he was but he needed still needed someone to go through and proofread I mean whether it was Derek Jeter himself or somebody else at the players' Tribune he still had to go through the paces and get it done and I think that's one of the big things that we look at we're with Gordon Hayward hijacking the day we had the report very early this morning I want to make sure I get it right I think it was Chris Haynes that had it this morning and then once the word came back from woad himself from on high saying hey it's not done yet everybody started clowning on Haynes and so they finally game miscreated at the end of it Ok he had it right begrudgingly but until it got the stamp of which approval from what it was that his guys off on his rocker Yeah no it was an interesting day but I do think I'll say this a citizen and we've been talking already about the Warriors and that was never the intention but it always gets back to that at this point because that's what you're chasing and that's what I was going to say is that this team and then look I think Boston goes after Gordon Hayward Regardless this offseason but this team has created absolute chaos in the n.b.a. We're everyone is trying constantly to upgrade their rosters or completely strip it down and start from from square one so you've seen already this offseason Houston significantly in theory improve their roster. I see smirking over there I No no I always love you know this is where a video camera would have been great because it was the tell when I because I do that to Jason quite a bit like in theory Sure in theory it works but are we just rearranging deck chairs that's the larger question that we ask for the n.b.a. Even though we love this activity which is right for most most radio host will tell you know is the dog days are going to take days off and or here's a lister He's were mentally it's given everybody some some running points to go with but in the end are we still looking at the Warriors and just say well what really changes if we're going towards April May and June has anything changed substantive steps hinted Lee can I get that word out. Thank you Tiger So yeah no I but I do think it's made the league more interesting and I think that's exactly what you just said it gives us something to talk about all offseason but I also think that it's given those 4 or 5 teams it's just created this thing where we've got to get better right now so Chris Paul gets moved whole Georgia gets moved Jimmy Butler gets moved and everybody is either completely stripping down and starting over or they're trying to build their own version of a super team Boston I guess is probably one of the few teams that somewhere in the middle where they haven't you know completely made to push all in for next year but they've clearly improved their roster as well so I think it's made I think as down is the Warriors are I don't know that anybody's closer but it's made the offseason help a lot more has given us some entertainment now as you remember hope can be the best of things hope can be the most dangerous of things that coming up next one of our favorite insiders basketball insiders Michael Scotto is going to join us talk about the wild day in free agency and where we had from here to the Jason Smith show Fox Sports Radio Live from the Geico studios were celebrating with.

Jason Smith off to day problems we begin oversized turkey legs maybe going medieval style chase again with a come on. The horse sound effects live on the next day Aaron Torres in for Jason spent foam on Twitter Erin underscore sure this is a dress finally over and short window right now we jump out to the hotline we bring on one of our favorite insiders to talk all things and the a why because the money. Flowing Michael Scotto n.b.a. Writer for basketball insiders joins us on the hotline All right where do you want to jump you want to go with Gordon Hayward finally making a decision for Idol Porter breaking the bank. I guess we'll start out with. Go and Hayward that the sit in that was almost as convoluted as Bron James at one point certainly you know it it's interesting how you know for Gordon obviously the news had broken out from yes pms Chris and had the story correct earlier in the day that Gordon was going to go on the Boston Celtics and then. You know Gordon and his agency looked to kind of hold up the news and you know allow him to get it out to the players which he did later on in a few hours and you know he had a lovely write up about it decision and whatnot so. You know I think for the rest of the league everybody was waiting on board and then here we are now Don And let's get the ball wrong. Chris Chris Aaron tours here I would ask you so now the dust to settle Gordon Hayward is a Celtic and I'm going to ask you what everyone in America wants to know does that get them any closer to the Cavaliers and most importantly the snatch these champions the Golden State Warriors I think a lot of people are skeptical curious viewers you're pretty thought. I think it helps but at the same time Boston has such a glut of small forwards and wings that they're going to have to move a few of them and it's going to be interesting to see where they go from here in that regard. Yeah you know look it's Boston unclever in the east right now I don't think anybody's in with the Warriors regardless and that includes the Cavaliers. The other wars are just too good and too young and in their prime right now so when we look at all these and it's been great watching the money flow and the adult porn I guess becomes the most interesting thing to flow out of it from there was you know read again is still some of the free agents out there but I don't Porter 4 years 106 with Brooklyn but it looks like Washington's going to match how much of this is the trickle down effect of what Kevin Durant did in teams just doing salary . I mean like you know the nets are unique situation where they got a swing for the fences and try to get assets and you know any way they tan you know we've seen that with the boy and by Donovan to create a book Lopez trade trying to get younger players that have potential or their traffic's to select players that are young and have upside so you know what Idol quarter you know similar to the Tyler Johnson and Allen Crabbe offer sheet they're looking at a guy who's young and on the rise and if they could you know coach him then and then they'll do it you know they have the cap space to do it. You know it's a low risk high reward opportunity for Brooklyn that you know honestly the one thing I would say about that a little longer than people thought I thought what happened earlier in the free agents. To go back to Hayward for a 2nd you just mentioned it no one is closer to the Warriors today than they were at the end of the season when the Warriors obviously took home their 2nd title in 3 years with all this movement Chris Paul Jimmy Butler everybody that has that has changed teams over the course of this offseason is there any moves left to make on your radar that you think can actually bring one of these teams be it the Celtics the Cavs any of those contenders to actually a level where they can compete with wars. I guess come out well Anthony would be the biggest star left that could be traded. To make a run against the Golden State Warriors but if you're Cleveland you know you have to give up Kevin was most likely in some type of a 3 team deal if you're going to get Carmelo if. You're dropping 2 different you know all star level players you know adding one and doing that I think that was a big difference with Kevin Durant's you know with the warriors you had stuff Corey clay Thompson grandma Green who were already off the caliber players and then Kevin Durant's on the free agent makes it so forth let alone the fact that you have the finals m.v.p. And Andre Iguodala coming off the bench. You know that no team in the league is going to be able to stack up against that there really is no way. At this point you can try to make these trades and make a run but you know I would love to see maybe next year if somehow some way Le Bron Chris Paul Carmelo and the Wayne wave could try to just team up together and go up against them if that was possible somehow. But did you play fantasy basketball I mean Michael Scotto joins us n.b.a. Writer for basketball insiders follow him on Twitter at Mike a Scotto as c o w t o Jason Smith show Fox Sports Radio my common alongside Aaron Torres to that end you do you think that team just weighed out didn't do the Cavs and while we wait for their front office you know the shake up and where Dan Gilbert is in terms of his spending wishing wanting to hoping that a buyout occurs for either Carmelo Anthony or going Wade. Yeah really you know that I have a lot of flexibility that you know make trades and whatnot it's really come up you know one thing but if you're another but if you're another team and you're. Waiting out the Cavaliers Yeah you give it another year or 2 but look at it like no walking bucks to have you on a contract Philadelphia $7067.00 myself or you could get on the floor. And you play the game now and be proud injury problems who have been some and all but you know you look at things that down the road could be players in the what is going to take a couple years you know one of the Brawn games in the you know whatever King he's on that's going to be a credit for the everybody just waiting him out at least we saw somebody do something even if it's wrong with Gordon Hayward joining the Boston Celtics to get that fight going we appreciate you stepping away from your July 4th celebrations for a few minutes Michael thank you so much. Michael Scotto and I'm on Twitter at Mike a Scotto as c o t t o n b a writer senior n.b.a. Writer for basketball insiders up on his latest on Twitter it's the Jason Spitz show your Fox Sports Radio and Aaron one of the things that really just plays out and I like that confirmation that you keep areas like I like the P.M.'s are aggressive but and there's always the but that seems to keep coming up as to how do you chase down the Warriors and when we look at the Cavaliers and Le Bron James look they signed Tristen Thompson and Jerry Smith to long term deals which is what he wanted and now when we look at it a year later that's what's hamstring them from being able to bring in younger assets to get better and Kevin loves an asset you know what he is he's solid but he's not spectacular which means any developing young up and coming player you're not trading to bring him in well and I thought Michael brought up a very important point there which is that you know Kevin Love big. Comes as the fall you know fall guy right like Lake everything every time something goes wrong with the catches you gotta trade Kevin Love even after the n.b.a. Finals last year when Cleveland beat Golden State Kevin Love makes the quote unquote defensive stop against Steph Curry it was still are you going to move Kevin Love for something in the off season and so for me I think you just brought up the most interesting point is that whether it was a potential Paul George trade that we now know is off the table whether it's something involving Carmelo Anthony whether it's something that we can't see coming right now moving Kevin Love for another piece doesn't necessarily get you closer and I think that that is the big mistake that everybody in the n.b.a. Is making right now is that when they the Warriors lost in the n.b.a. Finals last year the famous story of Dream on green sitting at his locker after Game 7 and texting Kevin Durant's saying we need you. It's it obviously worked in that they obviously have now one other n.b.a. Title but now everyone is in this position where they think that there is a nother move to make that gets them back on par with the worst there's no Kevin Durant out there for somebody else to sign and I'm not saying that every that the other 29 teams should should fold in you know pack it in for the next 2 or 3 years but it is going to be awfully tough to reconstruct Iraq to beat the wars assuming that they stay healthy and assuming that they kind of keep this kind of. Sum is greater than the parts kind of deal they got going on the cohesion that we've seen We'll talk about that a bit more and get back into auto Porter because it is an interesting dollar amount and when we're playing chess again looking at the 2 to 3 year what's the long term play at Boston's one we've talked a lot about Jason are on the show that they finally pushed ahead a little bit we'll get into that coming up next but 1st we step out to Steve to Segre and we find out what's trending. On this 4th of July off and to fireworks on the road for the Red Sox an Astros quickly update from Dodger Stadium Clayton Kershaw of l.a. Had a no hitter going until the 7th he has allowed an infield single and now another single it's 3 nothing Dodgers over the Diamondbacks top of the 7th Kershaw has thrown over $110.00 pitches he has 11 strikeouts to walks tonight the Red Sox lead is 11 nothing at Texas in the bottom of the 8th 19 hits for Boston starting pitcher David Price left in the 7th inning with an apparent finger injury this will be $6.00 straight wins for the Red Sox the best team in baseball the Astros are going to win again $16.00 to $4.00 is the lead at Atlanta in the bottom of the 9th $1000.00 hits for the Stroh's the bad news Houston All-Star Carlos Correia left with a sore thumb after a head 1st slide x. Rays were negative Gordon Hayward will go to the Celtics on a max deal also although Porter signs of an offer sheet with Brooklyn I'm Steve to say. Joycelyn Elders was just this morning Scott. Oh fuck sports radio studio use. A bit of James Brown everybody raise a glass Wherever You Are we thank you to get a few minutes of us to dyed your outbox Ward Radio Days and Spitzer by Carmen alongside Aaron tours Jason off tonight I'll be back tomorrow. After his flight meet and speak pause to say thanks to those who protect our freedoms given their lives to do so those that are serving right now wherever they are across this globe domestically and on foreign soil to allow us to be on the radio talking about $200000000.00 contracts n.b.a. Games while watching Rocky poor which is what inspired Alex treasure to bring out a little James Brown I once saw James Brown at the Chicago at the Taste of Chicago I tell you what it was one of the finest concerts I've ever seen we have at 35. And up there giant brass section people dancing when they played living in America everybody saying and dance then i then they sang sex machine and I made a spectacle of myself that Apollo come out on any time there was no Apollo put on the jumbotron no Rago come out through the ground they did have a giant Drago that kind of raised from the middle of the field just to remind you. Of the greatness of such a song Betty and fireworks get out of fireworks rant later on but we'll leave that for for now Aaron Torres and with me Jason Smith his offer coming in from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios it's easy to say 50 percent or more on car insurance with Geico but I gotta go dot com or call 8047 auto The only hard part figuring out which way is easier said to report that Clayton Kershaw was no hit bid was broken up by an infield single I did not say oh it's not my fault I've been called the ruination of no hit bid for dodgers pitchers and others across Major League Baseball many well. Many a fantasy baseball owner has written in or called in to curse me for such things. Yeah you can all beat it Otto Porter the is much as Gordon Hayward like it finally happened that's all that's all fine and good if I finally went he did what was the sensible things by almost every metric except for his wallet for the short term and the whole sense of loyalty and we had Rudy go bare his smile for you know lip singing along to you know no loyalty you know all those kind of things and you know people in Utah are salty I think Jonah said it best a little bit earlier tonight saying people were driving to Wyoming to find themselves some some adult beverages share in the process but that was kind of expected Utah and you could see where he could make the pledge send a comfortable this is where I want to be but you make the lead to the east when everybody else has gone West and now you go fight to win but I know Porter getting me for your 106000000 dollar tag we had Michael Scotto on never heard of and you talk about Michael Scotto or Otto Porter Otto Porter 2 years as a starter a rising star right finally playing significant stars a relative term but yeah well I try and I got a chance want to guys get honored $6000000.00 I got to try to get so it's a good stuff that's what that's what we do we get in here and we sell sell sell because that's what they want to do it and they raise the price of poker to say if you want to keep him look at this exorbitant amount of money you have to pay for a guy who average $13.00 points a game and I was going to say yes 1st of all if you're the Washington Wizards this will be in the press release whenever it becomes official when they match this offer is that you know rising star ke Coggan this team that nearly made Eastercon No that's right he is a pivotal piece of what we're building here he's an integral part of our success say pivotal piece of a team that absolute ceiling is the Eastern Conference Finals and getting smoked by Cleveland shtick you put them in the press really yeah that that is true the guy might be think you get the. Entire time he reads it and you and I'll do it because that's what we do we start going through and putting in the parent that equals of what reality use based on what they're trying to tell us I think Otto Porter will be thinking it as he's cashing his 1st major check by the way so I make him give me a novel the oversized novelty check and I get that kind of cash make sure that all the routing numbers are correct but you will present me with one of those prices right kind of oversized things with all the commas in 0 so like the Happy Gilmore It's Saturday I know I'm in the back of my God. Yeah by the way so obviously auto Porter is the now the latest you know face of exorbitant n.b.a. Salaries right so like and it really started last year with this boom in t.v. Money that allowed all these teams to have cap space so I went back and looked because remember last year there was just so much thanks over how much to a famous golfer got from the Lakers and how much Tyler Johnson got from the heat I went back and looked it up Timothy. 4 years 64000000 now now remember why Moscow it was such a big deal because that was the 1st one to break oh you're waiting on free agent we were in the studio right were here Jason judge just you're not going to find a bigger Laker fan than Frostburg over there he loses his mind even when he knows that if you watch the season I mean it was the the ship was burning it wasn't just hey it's starting to go down it was on fire and everybody screaming be watching him when that was announced as the 1st signing of the free agency period we got official word Moscow have to the Lately what we're all looking around go that there can't be right now we have to leave the show with Moscow off what we do know is it one that was my 1st reaction to this has to be a fake Twitter account oh no it's real Ok but might but my broader point is that as crazy as that as that was and I understand Moscow was a guy that was benched in the finals has no value in the modern n.b.a. As a back to the basket 7 foot center Otto Porter were. Asking about $10000000.00 a year or more over the same amount of time $40000000.00 more over the course of a contract I mean I think that we've become numb to these numbers because they've become so exorbitant over the last 2 offseasons But this is like next level craziness right here I wish I hope or nothing but the best there's no personal vendetta against Otto Porter but this is insanity 26000000 dollars for the 4th leading scorer on a foreign Eastern Conference Finals contender it's insanity well and that's one of the questions that we ask as we go through right we have a Kevin Durant's contract 2 years 53 and change and knowing that he could have made up to $35000000.00 a year or so you get in the arguments of well isn't this what we always wanted players to do sacrifice and keep and it's fine and I think once people are a little more astute and a little more observant of what's going on is that it really didn't do anything to free up money for other players it just saved the owners a lot in tax money so if it gets passed along the players psychologically I think people are ready for that in the end I say take all you can whatever you do for a living out there were were ever you work if you're driving a big rig right now listening to us I hope you get a dollar more I always I always cheer that people but it is a business right and so when we talk about the the c b a and the salary cap the way it went down what $78000000.00 for this coming year because of all the sweeps and quick exits in the playoffs like there's ramifications already to some of the way the things have tilted in terms of balances of power but you've created this this vacuum Well created this vacuum that we got a lot of people to make in near the minimum going to see a lot of those 3 $4000000.00 audio and again $34000000.00 We're all wish wishing and hoping that we can get there but then you have guys like Otto Porter who on potential at $13.00 a game and 6 rebounds per game like Victor Oladipo or. Posterchild from last week in terms of the Paul George trade and his $21000000.00 a year that you're saying where is the will is the sanity but they're spending money and that's exactly and that's the crazy part for that rant that I just went on It actually makes perfect sense for adult teams and that's the craziness of it is that Brooklyn look you have no draft picks you can't rebuild in the traditional way so you gotta go ahead and make a move somewhere and oh by the way to get anybody to come to your lousy franchise that has no chance of winning you've got to completely overpay and then on the Washington Wizards side of things as much as I've kind of mock them for being a you know the ceiling being the Eastern Conference Finals you still got a team that is that is one of the 2 or 3 best teams in the east which is kind of an indictment on the east more than anything else and you have to match this money as well so it's insanity Otto Porter as you alluded to $13.00 points per game going to be making 26000000 next year but not only does the offer from the Nets make sense the counter not the counteroffer the match by Washington actually makes sense as well as to make sense as well if you want to at least keep status quo will get into one of those teams they're chasing coming up down shared Torres in for Jason Smith College Hoops college football writer and pundit extraordinary joining us Jason takes a day off on my karma This is the Jason Smith show from the Geico studios coming up next we do talk about possible chaos in Cleveland what's going on with the deck chairs.

Gays noon Eastern 9 am Pacific that's why catch the herd. Exports. The Geico studios my Carmen alongside Erin Flores he had him on the network as a whole a lot and you heard him on the show breaking down college hoops products getting ready for the draft easy bball. Whisper. That's right he's easy got all of our inside growth and eventually he's going to have a truck back up with shoes for the lot of us all 200. Or not maybe some big dollar chicken maybe we'll set up the outside grill for murder one of the things you and I will have been fascinated by in this whole process tonight the Gordon Hayward finally getting his deal done with Boston we've got the auto Porter and again people are going to look at those numbers and maybe their eyes are going to bug out a little bit they're still chasing the Cleveland Cavaliers who even Cavaliers they don't they're front office and we're always going to wonder how much Le Bron ad to say how much he didn't was he in absentia and then had the oh I always support you because as he did he went on social media even if they didn't understand you Griff I always had your back just like I gave 100 percent on the court in every minute of the n.b.a. Finals I left it all out there same thing with Le Bron here and Chauncey Billups playing in the Big 3 in the 4 point shot working for e.s.p.n. Says I'm not taking over that ship so we question is this a statement that Le Bron James has already made his decision that he's bolting that Kyrie Irving eventually wants out of there as well does he not trust Dan Gilbert continue in a direction even if Le Bron were to bale to say hey I got my title on clapping hands and I'm done I'm on burning it to the ground and in his wake there's a lot of things swirling about trying to parse through the data though it all keeps focusing on Le Bron James who many believed was running everything it was the puppet master to begin with. Yes in Him No it's funny because 1st of all I love the p.r. Spin of e.s.p.n. Up their offer to him and you know he's making good money on t.v. He's happy where he's at No he is seen by many as a rising star in the kind of you know basketball operations world that one day he will be successful in a role like you know Cleveland was offering him in their front office and I think he just looked at the situation and said this let's keep could change in a hurry exactly what you just said Mike is like you know Le Bron He's very coy in the messages that he is sending out right now in 2 I really believe a year from now he'll be a Laker or a Clipper I still don't necessarily believe it because it's what we've been talking about all night everybody's going west it's so much harder to win a title going through the West than it could be conceivably going through the east but at the same time if you're Chauncey Billups are you are you risking your professional career on being able to keep Le Bron for more than one year because as you just alluded to the 2nd that will brown leaves this whole thing to dissolves really quick I guarantee you the Dale Brown leaves Kyrie's ask it out the next day Kevin Love he's still there is not going to want to stick their long term in it's just going to be complete chaos I think chaos is the word that I continue to use for this entire n.b.a. Landscape the wars have set the bar so high that it's made everybody afraid and I think this is a perfect example of that where they're even Cleveland 3 times Eastern Conference champion n.b.a. Champion a year ago there is so much uncertainty going forward because of the the bar that has been set by ground state here was the quote from Chauncey Billups part of his statement quote as I have conveyed before ultimately I'd like to lead a team's basketball operation and be a part of a successful franchise. Ok respect for Daniel or the whole 9 yards as you go through as we sit here in the Geico studios watching some major league baseball and Rocky getting the what for for major And in terms of getting after Drago So a lot of fun here and revelry here on Independence Day But when we look at the situation I have to wonder how much of it is Chauncey Billups not even looking that far down the road just coming into this year saying what can I do that's great what can i do we have no money right we're locked into Thompson we're locked into j.r. Smith unless we make a deal and trade one of those assets and as we keep saying you don't want anybody who wants to put up there that seemingly tradeable is Kevin Love He seems to be you know as our teammate Chris Carter said famously You got to have a fall guy Kevin was a fall guy he's the guy that everybody looks at unlucky in the finals number one people were citing his stats but in that huge game one he had a lot of rebounds after the game was a 20 point burial Ok so false statistics inside that box score but he's the guy that would be the expendable piece but at this point what are you bringing back well what are you getting if you couldn't consummate the deal the 3 teamer that have been rumored for so long what do you get and that's pushing you forward well and it's what we discussed earlier in the hour is there is no more Paul George on the trade market there is no more Jimmy Butler on the trade market and you talk about a jr smith or Tristen Thompson you know in a vacuum there nice players that fit certain roles in the n.b.a. But what has happened is whether it was the previous regime David Griffin or more likely you know the back channels with Le Bron those guys are now massively overpaid and they are not worth you know there's what they bring to the table is not worth on the open market what they get in Cleveland because they're liberal guys so now that only makes that situation that much more disadvantaged at Le Bron got what he wanted Le Bron the g.m. Last year made David Griffin the g.m. In name resign his guys to saddle up. So now they're on the only other pieces they brought Williams that they didn't commit a lot of cash to other people paid that Dallas paying the bulk of it and then Kyle Korver who missed the only shot that mattered of his season Le Bron We can debate all we want wasn't the right basketball player the wrong basketball player should Le Bron have gone to the hall the fact of the matter is you brought him in for one reason and he had one job and he fact had I heard you go on this rant last night so yes I'm with you no I do it all the time you heard me from my house because I was even here last night but that's Ok coming up yeah that's right where were you I to be was a couple days ago when I was probably last night I guess it was Monday as I did the day off coming up next we get back to the biggest story of the night these Celtics make a huge move and a push towards Cleveland.
