00:00Let's see what the owners really are.
00:02Let's see them put their money where their mouth is.
00:05Money talks, bullcrap walks, all those cliches.
00:08This is it.
00:10If you want to maximize Brown and Tatum,
00:13Brown and or Tatum,
00:15this is their prime.
00:16This is their NBA peak.
00:17This is it.
00:18This is their championship prime.
00:19You're in the middle of the window.
00:21You spend now.
00:22You spend now over the next two years.
00:26You quote unquote go for it.
00:28And then in three years,
00:29if you have to get under that repeater tax,
00:31that's when you come back under the tax.
00:32That would be the second time in four years.
00:35And that's how you should manage it.
00:38But something tells me to do just the opposite,
00:40Maz.
00:40They're going to stay under the tax line this year because they not only do
00:44they want to reset the repeater tax,
00:46they don't want to pay the three X six X penalties in the short term.
00:51Cause they are,
00:52they're,
00:53they're dollar driven because they're private equity guys.
00:55And that's what's going to happen.
00:56And I'll just say it again.
00:57I do not think they're championship driven.
00:59I think they're business driven,
01:00but I'm sorry.
01:01Go ahead.
01:01No.
01:01So listen to the fact that we're going to get some sort of answer on them
01:05in the short term,
01:06meaning the immediate short term is absolutely true.
01:09We're going to see how they act this off season and get a read on them.
01:12This is,
01:13I think this is the one thing that people who want to see them spend now have
01:17working in their favor.
01:18They just got the team.
01:21They just got it.
01:23And so I think there was some urgency for them to spend in the short term.
01:28Now,
01:29again,
01:29I might be naive about this,
01:31but when I say that,
01:32I mean,
01:33do you want to come in and turn people off right away?
01:36Like,
01:36is that what they want to do?
01:38Piss people off right away?
01:39Like,
01:40Oh,
01:40we have Tatum and Brown in their prime years and we're actually not going to
01:44surround them.
01:44Cause we want to lower the tax hit.
01:46Even though a Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown in their peak years still,
01:51and they're going to be both fully healthy going into the season for the
01:54first time since when?
01:56So,
01:57you know,
01:57but I,
01:58I,
01:59the part I'll agree with you on is a hundred percent is that if they do
02:03that,
02:04Oh boy,
02:04that's a bad sign.
02:05That is a bad sign.
02:07If they are doing it now,
02:08right out of the gate,
02:10then,
02:10then you're not going to get much of a true run at championships.
02:14Bill Chisholm's lying to you.
02:15Well,
02:16so let's see again.
02:17Let's see the money talks and we'll know this off season where his heart
02:22really is with the Boston Celtics.
