00:00Wick Rosebeck is going to be shoulder-to-shoulder, arm-in-arm with Bill Chisholm.

00:04He's going to need that guidance.

00:05Again, he's never been in this situation before,

00:07and he has the luxury of having one of the better owners,

00:09especially in the NBA and sports in general.

00:12Because I was talking to Tranny Casey about this on her early edition show last night.

00:16Do you think there's any part of this that's a little too convenient

00:19that it's a year that doesn't have championship expectations for this roster?

00:23So they're saying we're sharing the responsibility of ushering this team

00:27through this year because the expectations aren't that great?

00:30I mean, I think it was going to be like this regardless.

00:32I mean, the sale was made in March, right?

00:34At that point, you thought you had Jason Tatum.

00:36He was still going to be here for this year.

00:38You knew changes were coming, but you probably,

00:40even if you just lost Drew Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis

00:42and dipped below the second apron, had you had Jason Tatum,

00:45the expectations of this team would be crazy differently.

00:48It would be a lot different.

00:50So I don't think it's necessarily that

00:52because nobody could have predicted Jason Tatum tearing his Achilles.

00:55That's the biggest issue with this team.

00:56Like, if they had him and Jalen Brown, you're automatically a contender.

01:00We've seen it the last nine years they've been together.

01:02Every year those guys are together, you're a contender.

01:04So I don't think it's necessarily that.

01:06It's just, it's terrible timing to take over a team

01:09when you're getting ran through by the second apron

01:11and then you lose your best player, an all-NBA player.

01:14So you feel bad for Chisholm?

01:15I do a little bit.

01:16I mean, part of me, yes, part of me does.

01:18I mean, obviously, like, there's no really telling that.

01:20This is just a terrible time to come through.

01:22And I think for the most part, fans do understand

01:24that there was no way around this.

01:25Like, they understand the weight of the second apron

01:27and how it's going to affect teams moving forward.
