Hour 4: Lauri Markkanen’s Worth for the Utah Jazz | Slacker Radio Headlines | Feedback of the Day
dj and PK it’s 975 the zone pk big trade in the NBA huge man desmond Bane Memphis sends a guy who scores 20 points a night a guy who shoots 41% from three a guy who’s signed for the next four years yeah but his arms aren’t going to get any bigger in the next four years made such a big deal about that coming out of I think it was TCU wouldn’t it well a lot of teams a lot of teams passed on him that wish they hadn’t passed on him yeah in the first round the odds are out now because Memphis is going to do something this is just the start you don’t just do this and then doesn’t make any sense to trade Cole Anthony and Pope and go on no yeah so odds are out uh the Jazz they’ve got odds on them acquiring Jaw Morant and Jiren Jackson Jr guess what the odds are on JJ he’s a very good player if he could stay healthy I would say 25 to one yes nice yes it’s a shot in the dark literally i got lucky feels it now how about uh John Morant longer there that’s risky for multiple reasons i’m going to say 100 to one 16 to one ooh so they think it’s actually a better chance they go get Shawn Morance yes if you want to bet on that I just called my bookie right now there’s onc court and offc court issues there that’s sports.ag everything comes down to the price right i mean you take the risk you know Miamiy’s three to one is the favorite right and uh then bunch of teams Miami is a favorite for Jaw jaw yeah okay and then who else but beyond three to one uh Brooklyn 4 to one uh Sacramento uh 5 to one and I John Morant said one thing uh about that trade he’s already been quoted about going to Sacramento and you know what he said you’re going to make this up what no Kings i knew you had a line i just didn’t know what it was rockets six to1 Hornets nine to1 and then start so the Jazz are actually well up the track bunch of teams in Yeah they’re about middle so what about Jiren Jackson then are 25 to1 jiren Jackson Lakers 3 to1 Pistons 4 to one Philly 9-2 Warriors 7 to1 so again the Jazz are well off the track not really expecting again well yeah they’re towards the bottom on that uh so it’s really interesting like you know Austin A brings a different perspective than Danny but how different and like right now he hasn’t really shown any of his cards so this is his we’ll see his card soon enough i I agree and I can’t wait but I right now I agree with you i agree with you on that right now I don’t have a real feel for if he’s thinking “Hey let’s build this out that it’s going to take three or four years or hey let’s let’s get aggressive and get somebody and speed this along you know oh I think both speed it along but the idea of being a contender it’s what I’ve been saying all along you can’t just sneeze at oh say forget that this won’t make us a a a title contender you got to walk before you go sprinting down the court so they’ve got to get way more competitive the room to grow just to get to 40 wins is enormous yes it is i think they can get to 40 pretty quickly the thing is getting to 40 and still having room to grow to get to 4550 who’s played on a 40 winning a 40- win team on his team nobody i I think it was already a Collins i think it was a Yeah probably it was a 30- win team yeah but you’re just that I I think I I can dump a lot of games you go ahead and dismiss it but I believe they dumped a lot of games but that’s just opinion well that’s not No not that’s I’m not That’s not what I’m dismissing you’re You’re assigning a win total that is impossible to quantify it wasn’t in qu it’s not impossible to quantify that they dumped a lot of games that didn’t mean they were going to win those games you’re assigning wins that they didn’t earn i agree right so I agree that’s just pie in the sky i could say hell no they’re a 25 win team just as easily i think the more dismissive thing to say is “Yeah you’re right they can get to 40 but what do you get for that?” The real prize is getting well beyond that you’ve got to get to 40 before you get to 50 they’re not going to go from 30 to 50 maybe they can that would be awesome i hope they can i wouldn’t think so but that kind of stuff well first off they’re not Well I mean we I guess we could agree they’re at 30 but they’re not at 30 uh the fact is they’re not the only team to have dumped games on purpose and those teams don’t usually improve by 35 wins overnight and end up on 52 wins so that’s just not that’s probably not in the cards so let’s see about a way to start getting in playoff contention i want as soon as possible what Quinn Snyder’s group did and getting to the 500 mark then go and then they win one playoff series lit this town on fire one playoff series win let’s get that it was it was because there was one and there was a thought that there would be more now there didn’t turn out to be more but there was a thought there’d be a conference final sure and to me that’s the that’s more reasonable and more doable you know a championship a super team can get in your way and you can’t control some stuff and the Jazz have certainly Jazz certainly Jazz fans have the ones who’ve been here a long time have seen and felt that over time and some stack team gets in your way but you can get to a conference that’s very rare that a stack team got in their way more often than not they lost when they had equal chances to win well I mean I think the D will our group a stack team got in their way that was the last time they were there um I would say I would say the Warriors actually with Hayward and the other oh okay that’s a good point yeah the Warriors in the second round that was a stack team um yeah i mean if you go way back certainly you know they had a 10-point lead in game five at home win the dang game let’s just win the thing come on right um their championship was lost in 94 95 it wasn’t lost in 97 and 98 yeah 94 they were really outclassed 95 though they got beat and they lost it they could have could have would have should have but anyway it’s all a long way in the rearview mirror so now they got to get better but they got to get better and as they get better there has to be hope that there’s more levels beyond this jen give yourself hope yep get it done i know right this is not some cosmic thing here what’s that trade going to be i think it’s going to be a series it’s going to be a series of trades draft picks and internal development that’s how they’re going to get it done that is double A’s charge and that’s what he’s working on all day many moves away yes but they have many options to make moves i wonder what the price tag is for Jiren Jackson well I mean it’s been said you’re not going to get less it’s going to be four it’s going to be the Desmond Bane price tag well it doesn’t have to be literal that’s what I said earlier it’s the quality has to match you may get three but get better players than Pope and Anthony so how does that work or uh have uh maybe you get a team that isn’t as good and they don’t give you as many picks but your chances of moving up in the draft when those picks come are better than what they perceive Orlando to be or it’s not picks it’s players that’s what I’m saying you know it’s it’s the quality of the package if it’s Jackson for Markin then which player three years from now is much better and which player is the same or which player is playing 50 games or that’s the last thing Markin needs to go to another crappy team and sit the bench the guy’s been in the league forever and he gets the earliest vacation time he’s a part-time player in that way come on man so that establishes his price so maybe they get him for less who gets I mean that’s what everyone whoever’s trying to acquire him can you He’s a part-time player that’s all you get for him can they get Well that’s up for DoubleA to sell it differently i know heck no he’s the critical piece you need you fool i’m helping you out and you don’t want to take my help what’s wrong with you he’s an allstar we sat him he could have played yeah i mean that’s an easy sell uh so they have these opportunities here unlike anything that they’ve had and they’ve got to get it going you don’t tell me you’re are you going to tank we won’t do that or you won’t see that and then just go ahead and and lose another 55 games that could happen that’s true anything could happen yeah 20 27 to 55 when I said they were 31 team that’s not that far away you don’t know if you’re going to It’s time for guys when you’re in your third year in the league it’s time for you to go okay we’re done babying here and playing these psychological games either you can play or you can’t and if you can’t move along because now it’s got I don’t want to invest in somebody uh contractwise if I’m not sure George has what it takes 100% on that 100% on that and that’s just got to be such a refreshing message for Will Hardy i mean he he sat in front of the cameras and the microphone after the game and went out there and tried to be upbeat and say the right things but you could just tell the last 20 games or so it’s like this is just getting so old all these people say he’s a great coach they extend it i’d like to actually see it manifest in the win loss record quit telling me how great he is i I don’t have to be told if I can see it myself i want to see it don’t tell me about it i’m tired of being told how great of a coach he is and maybe he’s the best coach they’ve ever had great but let’s start to see some of it we’ve had let’s see he’s been here three seasons and it’s nothing against him that we haven’t seen no I think he’s been I’m not criticizing him i think he’s been allowed to go for it for half of the first season half of the second season and those went reasonably well fine and then and then it was always foot off the gas let’s see an entire season cut loose let it rip and whatever happens happens but once he gets and hopefully he gets to that point uh when they’re winning 50 plus regularly then they won’t have a press release and they won’t tell us “Oh you we really believe.” No they they didn’t say “Well every time Jerry Sloan came back we really believe in him.” No it spoke for itself we didn’t have to keep hearing about it hearing about it does nothing for me the only thing that I want you to hear is us on the radio that’s it the other stuff I want you to see how good they are and so you don’t have to keep telling us and you don’t have to keep oh man there’s no quit in these guys they really tried hard okay by about Christmas I’m done with that i’ll take that the first few weeks because I’m in a good mood because we got college football but once college football ends and we focus most on the Jazz and now we got hockey thank goodness i don’t want to keep hearing “Ah man they really tried hard.” Great i tried hard too and in one year they make what I’m going to make my whole life and I tried just as hard good for them you tried hard way to go how many more times I gotta pat you on the back for trying hard three four minutes i want to pat you on the back for winning and that’s And Austin H has an exact attitude he’s sitting right now driving to work saying “You go PK.” Yeah more of that i don’t think he’s driving to work this late i didn’t mean he was driving to work the first time he’s now going out and doing something else he’s been working since 5:00 a.m what are you talking about he’s going out for a break right now okay now you’re talking cappuccino don’t you have lattes it’s old school back you’re back in middle school too i’ve never had a latte it’s nutrition break now yeah and that’s a new thing man get with it don’t be Oh listen to you man just because your kids go to private schools you don’t have to just wee wee on public education the UC Santa Barbara grad is going to wee wee on public education yes you just done did by making fun of nutrition breaks that doesn’t have anything to do with public paycheck is why I live in Utah you send your kids to private school good you save the school 600 grand 600,000 wow rest of us got to go to public school and I’m dang proud of it you’re the one who went to private school i went to public school i went to private school because I was a troubled kid nice pivot that was good he’s over here busting me for being a private school kid i went to public school K through 12 and they kicked me out and you went to private school cuz they were the only ones who would take me okay now you’re talking how have you built this built this bogus image of being the guy next door very carefully i know you i’m telling you man i’m bringing you truth and I believe Jazz fans want to hear truth they want to see it they don’t want to be told about it they want to be on the business end of the Desmond Bane trade that’s an exciting trade okay and I think they have the opportunity and I can see in Orlando right now not that we care a lot because they’re in Eastern Conference but they got Paulo Bancer you put Bane next to him who’s a proven thing they have several other young guys bronze Vagner it’s spelled Wagner but I’m supposed to pronounce it Vagner what is that the East is looking wide open hey look what Indiana’s doing we could do that in the next Well you know Orlando is a good example of what the Jazz should do because Orlando’s had a ton of first round picks yep in recent years it’s go time for Orlando right obviously the difference is they had a number one pick and got a guy who looks like a pretty good player you got me there to what degree you know we’ll see but not all the really good players go number one as we’re seeing in the finals this year and as we’ve seen in the finals in previous years so find somebody along the way whether that’s trading for somebody who’s undervalued or finding somebody who’s undervalued in the draft whatever and not all number one picks are created equally either absolutely not they they I don’t know that they got a great one but I think they got a good one and time will tell possibility of getting there yeah possibility of maybe he’ll be a great one in the long run yeah we’ll we’ll see he’s he’s still got a ways to go chapters to write yeah yeah well he’s Yeah and playing alongside Bane that this could be a this could be a nice step forward and with the Celtics being down presumably with Jason Tatum’s injury it looks like the door is open right the door is open if the Pacers have done it there have got to be a handful of teams saying “Why not us?” They got to say that in Cleveland they’re saying in New York and now they’re saying I thought they could get more for Bane but nevertheless yeah I did okay no no well I excuse me let me back up i thought that if Orlando is making that trade they would get a player better than Bane is what I mean does that make sense oh yeah okay yeah yes that’s where I went with That’s where I went i think the thing But this is what they made so be it yeah he He’s a really good player but he secondary guy he is he’s the second or third best guy and were they going to go out and get the best guy and make Vanero be But maybe they feel he’s like their horn maybe he is dj and PK it’s 975 the zone we are out here at Thanksgiving point this morning kids on the move kotm.org if I’ve learned nothing else this morning Ryan I have learned that good job so you’ve talked a lot about autism and it feels like that’s a core constituency for this group and and parents who are working with kids who are somewhere on the spectrum and maybe just trying to figure it out early on you’re definitely working with them but it does seem like maybe you’re working with other groups as well other kids what exactly is the range of kids you’re you’re trying to partner with and help here yeah that’s a great question and thank you for allowing me to clarify that because yes autism is a big part of what we do one of our programs is that but we have many other programs that help children with any type of delay or disability we have amazing physical therapists speech therapists occupational therapists nurses all all that are helping out in a lot of different ways some of our programs focus on children age 0 to three our autism goes from birth all the way up to through high school but a lot of our programs not only do we help children with disabilities but we’ve got an early head start program that helps those families that are below the poverty line that need some help to get a jump start and we’ve got we’ve got some classrooms at our facility that allows their children a zero to three to come into our space so that the parents can work and and get a job and and so yeah it’s a it’s an amazing stuff that we do at Kids on the Move and so our our therapists our specialists can really help with any child that has any kind of delay we’ve been around for 40 years so we’ve seen quite a bit um and so we’re excited to help in any way we can these kids you’ve got uh you got a lot of celebrities out here you got Kehani Saki thank you PK i thought you were talking about PK but I I was How do you connect with people like this do people find you because of what’s going on in the lives in their lives or in the lives of their loved ones or in their friend circle uh you know it’s a good question we we connect in a lot of different ways a lot of people have a special place in their heart for these children with disabilities it’s also the connections and and things that I have and other people with inside the organization uh Kehani we’ve we’ve uh known for quite a long time my son uh plays college football and was at Utah for a while and he’s somewhere else now but um yeah so I’m connected in a lot of ways there and uh we just love any support we can and and you guys being here really helps us out a lot too um when I was on Hans and Scotty earlier this uh last month or I can’t remember when it was it was sometime in the last few weeks that was a great help for us too you guys do an amazing job and have a good network of people so that helps and so for people who want to know more for parents who are thinking hey maybe we have an issue maybe

Headlines brought to you by Trade and Wealth call Trade and Wealth today your local trusted financial fiduciary 801899-7600 or visit the website at trajewealth.com game five tonight PK Thunder Pacers will the Pacers shock us and retake the lead in this series they won game one to go up they won game three to go up are they going to win game five and go up or will the Thunder finally get in front yeah I pick the Thunder every game so I’m two for four so I Yeah I don’t care where it’s played that had nothing to do with it obviously I picked up both times in Indiana uh I feel like they’ve got the better team but it’s why they play the games well they’re back home maybe the role players will go off we’ve seen role players come up big in this series but you never know which one when where how what’s going to happen well that the role players that I’m interested in in order for OKC to win right now I think they’re role players they have an opportunity to be better than that as they progress in their NBA careers it’s Williams and Holgren those two guys I still put them in a role player category but they’re high level role players obviously and I think SGA will continue to do he seems so smooth and so slithery that and it gets to the line a ton reminds me of James Harden in that way a little bit when Harden was younger and with that in mind he’ll do what he does and if they get great games out of Holgrren and Williams I think they win i think I it’s more about the role players for Indiana what can they do because when they’ve played really well that has been a big- time boost because I don’t think Indiana has somebody that they can count on night after night play off playoff game after playoff game to be a big time player so they need the role players are more critical because SGA can go out and get you 45 he’s had multiple 30 point games as anybody on Indiana so they really need everybody whether McConnell in his 15 to 20 minutes he has to play as well as he can in those minutes sakum the same sakum and Hallebertton obviously are at the top level on that team but they Miles Turner i can go down the list i can just name you guys so they all need to to really do that when they do that then they’ve got a shot jaylen Williams scoring and rebounding totals have been improving every game in this series and he is capable of going berserk and he’s starting to turn in some pretty strong numbers so that would suggest that they’re in a pretty good place with him he’s fighting out yeah that’s why they’re they need those two guys right and if you get the those three and then get your usual contributions I think that they’re good enough whereas Indiana needs very good contributions from seven guys yeah yeah williams scoring has gone 17 19 26 27 the rebounds have gone four five six seven so just keep it have more of an impact he shot it much better in games three and four than he did and he’s still young enough to be able to grow in his game no question he’s 24 years old and he’s in the NBA finals for the first time so if he’s figuring it out that’s no surprise and Homer’s younger isn’t he he is yeah and with the and the chronological age but you also have to subtract the year he missed where he sat the whole year and didn’t play well yeah he only had one year of high or college and then he missed the first year right and he’s 23 right he just turned 23 right so he I think to me five years from now he’ll be better than Williams well that’s awesome news for OKC if they can afford I think it will be yeah if if everybody’s on the team yeah yeah and that’s taking nothing away from Williams because his development in this league has been startling and he would have gone much higher than 12 I think it was if we would have if they would have known that but credit for credit to the uh Thunder for taking the pick and having him go way to go hopefully his younger brother can approximate what he’s been able to do obviously the younger brother Cody Williams playing for the Jazz cruso’s coming off another 20-point game it’ll be interesting to see if he can crank it up again i mean he’s a roll guy and expect him to be up and down but he’s had a couple of really good games and here’s a shocker they’ve won them yeah i think Caruso will give you that strong minded presence the offense is gravy in a sense i think he needs to be continue to be opportun opportunistic because I don’t think they’re running any plays for uh Caruso anytime soon right uh but get out get some easy buckets and do it put backs whatever it might be and look at him man he’s another player you know on his own not so much put him in here have him be this junkyard dog extremely valuable and that’s what I like i love these guys that find their niche and fit the role that they’ve been asked to do and then flourish in that role that’s why this is a team game for sure he scored 20 points in both wins while shooting 65% from the floor he shot about 38% and averaged nine and a half points in the losses so if you’re looking for a weather vein for the Oklahoma City team through four games in this series he’s been the guy but Williams keeps getting better caruso has a good game then the Thunder are in a great spot because SGA seems like you can count on him and I think Yeah I think other big NBA story I’ve been talking about is Desmond Bane memphis going into rebuild mode i suppose there’s an argument that I don’t really buy that they could take those draft picks and flip them and get somebody but are they really going to get somebody better than Bane and that’s the missing piece it feels more like this is the start of taking the whole thing apart that’s what people around the league are anticipating so I’m sure Memphis is getting all sorts of calls the key for here for for them is Morance’s got three years left on his deal but he’s eligible for a two-year extension if they give it to him they’re on the hook for five years we know about the offc court issues there’ve also been oncourt health issues that’s just a lot of money and a lot of years to guarantee but if they don’t where does Morance’s attitude go so in a way it feels like the the collective bargaining agreement rears its head again the fact that now is when they can give him the extension they either they do or they don’t it impacts his attitude and so it’s uh push the chips to the middle of the table and decide you’re all in on him or you’re all out on him and I guess that’s why Vegas is issuing odds that you shared earlier this morning because they expect the deal there too now people will gamble on anything including the Grizzlies next trade or two yeah my cousin Vinnie we’ve already been talking on what we’re going to do on this oh yeah i got a meeting at 10:02 yeah we’re going to we’re going to Zoom because we we need to be face to face we can’t literally be face to face but he needs to see my facial expression okay because I got retirement to think of bigger trade Desmond Bame or Raphael Devers well Devers is a multiple all-star so just on the individual level I think he’s a better player than Bane uh but he winds his way out of Boston and ends up in San Francisco and they man and and my goodness gracious Buster uh Posey should be a absolute lock for the Hall of Fame as a player and then here taking over as a as an executive this team is really good they’re 10 games over 500 they’re two games behind the Dodgers they’ve just added the arrow is up they’re in front of the Padres’s the arrow they’re the toughest division in baseball and look at them in front of the Padres’s that’s that’s their level of accomplishment now well it’s good that they passed him they weren’t picked to finish in front of them well it’s not their end goal they’re ready i mean the Giants are all about beating the Dodgers i think they’re about winning the World Series myself that would be nice and this is a great move to put him in there with Chapman being down uh when he comes back and he Those are two third baseman endeavors wanted to play third he didn’t want to DH he didn’t want to take grounders at first and blah blah blah because they signed sock signed Bregman out of uh Houston all those years uh so they they’ reached an impass and they had to do something and this is what they felt they could do i would have thought they could have got more for the guy but they didn’t had over a $300 million deal he might not have that much money left on the deal he’s a couple of years into it now but he’s got over a quarter of a billion left on the deal so maybe they just feel good about getting out from under that i don’t know how else they rationalize that the Mookie Bets comparisons abound yeah I don’t think that’s a big deal in baseball what worried about the contracts they got the money they just roll through it i mean they’re not dealing with the second apron i mean they all got the money ah market like Boston try to get a ticket to their game you know i mean iconic stadium massive population generations of interest it’s what they do in the summer uh so you’ve been there you know what I’m talking about i do so everybody does everybody I was surprised when I went there i thought it’d be more baseball cathedral but they have the in-game marketing down and there was always a video on the board and people were always singing it felt like a big karaoke night out there sweet Caroline on the list there was something every seventh inning sixth inning that was I think that’s in the seventh or eighth i’m not positive but they there was something literally every half inning i mean it really did catch my attention and people were up and singing like well especially in those cold weather cities where you’re just stuck inside literally months at a time that’s the time to get out and and uh you know you didn’t grow up that way but I did it’s one of the reasons why I got into baseball is because I could be outside yeah and it signaled the arrival of finally maybe having some nice weather yeah this is the swimming and all those things that go with it this is the coldest environment uh that I’ve lived in so it’s given me a taste of it but I work with somebody from the Midwest for a long time and they are always like “You don’t know one do Milwaukee and get back to me.” Like a Milwaukee winner you say this is the coldest environment for me this is actually the warmest environment I’ve ever lived in no you lived in Arizona no well let’s see that’s the hottest okay now you’re talking all right so there’s some of the big news oh wait what about that US Open thing that was kind of big news this weekend jj don’t call me Warren Spawn hey for all you college walk-ons out there anything is possible sand Deus now that’s not uh that’s not right next door to Pedro so I don’t know that you ever went to Sand Deus no but I worked with guys who who were from there yeah I’m sure brian Patterson who is the prep editor of the Orange County Register he probably wandered around Sand Deus at some point a big sand oh yeah i’ve been there yeah uh that’s where he played high school golf and then went on to San State as a walk-on and then made his mark on the tour and grind grind grind made his mark on multiple small tours smaller tours well I mean he had the playoff with Rory and the players here a little so I mean he made a mark yes on the PGA tour now he’s made a huge mark he said I I looked it up the guys knew who he was he’s not coming out of nowhere for them i’d have to go back maybe it was four top 10s this year i mean it’s like Yeah he’s not nobody but nonetheless to get here at 33 it’s been a lot of hard work and heavy lifting yeah I think it is for everybody uh but especially him i read a thing where his mother was the golf uh advocate and she got doctor’s permission to be able to golf while she was like eight months pregnant with him oh really yeah and you got to have somebody who’s going to introduce you to You just probably don’t decide on your own and he had that and I love the story that he told Scottsdale resident Max Homa lives in the same area as he does in Scottsdale and Tiger told Max when you get in these tournaments it is all about grinding and and we know he uh spawned five of the first six BS and he’d had the lead earlier and just stay within yourself don’t he he kept saying don’t do anything crazy and he he now he made a couple of putts that were crazy but he felt like this is what I needed this is my focus and so Tiger tells Max Max because he’s a neighbor of JJ tells him and he’s thinking about that Sunday during this round and that’s helping him keep his focus and it’s really just an awesome story there were so many guys in that tournament in the back nine back to Tiger Point you know where guys are 20 30 yards off the green but they’re in that rough and then man they just take a full swing and and the ball goes like eight yards and they’re still in the rough there are three or four guys who took bogeies or double bogeies because of that and that opened the door he’s hitting fairways and greens and making birdie putts and they’re backing up and that was his mindset and then he drove was on 17 he drives it and makes birdie has an eagle putt so he needed to grip it and rip it on that one and he did and that put him in a position to calm his nerves even more so and it seemed like he was very calm throughout the bogeies didn’t ru uh what am I looking for didn’t bother him rattle was the word I’m looking for didn’t rattle him and stayed he stayed the course no pun intended and I didn’t mean that but that that’s what you need to do you need to have that singular focus and he did it’s awesome dj and PK it’s 975 the zone stay with us your feedback next and it’s all over almost here don’t go nowhere business owners gather around the radio i got great news for you do you want growth

staff will take care of the rest here’s what you do let’s get together me and you let’s have a relationship text PK to 57500 and the money will flow unto you i promise dg&pk it’s time for your feedback memphis got four first round picks a pick swap and two rotational players and trading Desmond Bane to Orlando what can the Jazz get for Lowry Markin we heard from a Mavericks fan how about that cooper flag Brandon i thought I was done being pissed at Nico but this just opened that wound again oh for the Desmond Bane brought a lot more than Donsuch and that bugs him yeah I get that brian says if they don’t get a star in return then why pull the trigger who who’s they the Jazz yeah if they’re going to trade Markin and get a star in return or why make the deal he doesn’t want to get younger scott they’ll probably get nothing the Jazz will want to be greedy but potential trading partners knowing the Jazz want to go young and try their luck in the lottery again won’t be willing to give up as much value as the Jazz demand and no trade will happen he thinks Markin is here uh it could happen yeah but did uh Oklahoma City Thunder fans rejoice when they gave up Paul George for SGAA no are they rejoicing now yes there you go they are two games away from some serious rejoicement and you can argue they’re just getting started they are young enough that that could be very true right nate says “We’ve had some really stupid trades lately why can’t the Jazz ever be on the good side of one it’s never going to happen ever okay just take their hope away PK well no they’re taking it away themselves come on uh BB gun 42 stop trading our players for picks we’ll never use to get better the fans are tired of sucking so bad that’s five O’s is there any way we can get the Millers to buy the Jazz bag and get us in the playoffs no there’s not this is the path forward there’ll be no going back so they don’t really Well they had playoff series in soccer who will win one next relax who wins in the postseason next interesting there’s a decent chance that it’s none of above for a little while but we’ll see soccer next is next whenever next comes yeah soccer can change really fast too yeah and you know talking to Pablo I’m going to write about this uh that they’re super excited to have the Millers have the team and the Miller Steve Miller I went back and looked he’s talking about the stability that we can bring based on all the evidence that I can show you about stability and now all of a sudden things the the team right now is still a transitional year but it looks like they believe they’ll have a better future because of this it looks like they have some pieces of the puzzle but they have such a glaring hole if you fill that one glaring hole then maybe things change really quickly so and there is a in this league teams go up and down you know there’s a team that was above RSL last year and won it at all that’s now in last place in the LA Galaxy so certainly this uh you know this happens i just saw a crime committed against golf right over your shoulder Rachel you think he swung and missed he definitely swung and missed well it’s a chip shot those those can be dangerous took a massive divot that I could see from here i got to give him credit though he repaired his divot which a lot of people don’t you sure he because then he just hit a good shot that’s actually He did hit a good shot that’s actually cheating you don’t get two shots yeah that’s because if you swing and miss if you intend to hit the ball and you don’t that counts as a swing i thought it was a swing and a miss so I did two that’s what I thought you know what rachel’s not going to turn around she’s not interested in crimes committed against golf as long as awareness is created and funds are raised and the mission moves forward I’m focused on the mission what does a divot between friends really do so that book the title of her book I thought she wrote a golf book what’s the title of your book chasing the impossible there you go yeah so how did you write this golf book what why did you Not a golf book but for some people golfing is chasing the impossible that’s what I’m saying i think pretty much for everybody or maybe you didn’t see Rory Mroy throwing clubs yesterday no I didn’t beating up a tea box well you would have looked at him and thought that can’t be good it wasn’t if you accomplish one or two things today is it is awareness the number one thing because with awareness then a lot of stuff that you need can probably flow from that absolutely i think awareness is an important important thing raising funds is too always important and really what I hope is that we we get more involvement next year and so as people learn about the great time that we’re having here at Thanksgiving Point they learn about our cause and our mission that they get involved i was I was an individual 12 years ago that was asked to be part of the Kids on the Move board that’s how I became introduced to Kids on the Move and maybe similar to a lot of the listeners I didn’t have a direct connection with children with special needs i didn’t even have any nieces or nephews that had special needs so when I was invited I thought to myself you know I don’t know if I can contribute i don’t know if I could add value to this organization but I decided to get involved and that’s really my my rally cry to all the listeners is you may not have a direct correlation with someone that has special needs or someone in your family even though the likelihood that you know someone or there’s a a friend or family member is a high probability this is a cause that we should all um be engaged in and support these families that have children with special needs i put awareness over money because I think if you get the awareness the money follows i agree if you get the awareness if people know the stories PK always talks about we’re in sports we really love the stories the stories are you know the guy won the US Open what a great story it was a college walk-on nobody wanted to give him a college scholarship now he’s won the US Open and he had to play on three tours to get there and you look at what some of these families and and and some of these kids are going through and you think well if they get help they can get an education if they get an education they get a job be self-supporting and they but if they don’t get that help and they don’t get that education then then where does it go and I think when people dig down and realize the story and have that awareness then they want to start to help in whatever way they can absolutely and when you think about those parents that you know they come back and one of the questions I asked when I was interviewing I interviewed over 23 families and about 90 minutes for each family and I would ask them “What was the the the first feelings that you had when you realized that your child had a disability or a delay?” And a lot of them grieved for a couple of days or longer and um really had to come to terms with what does this mean there’s just so many unknowns that they didn’t know what their their child you know would be able to do one one father said you know I thought my son was going to be able to play ball with me and now I don’t know what to look forward to in the future because it was unknown and one of the things I love about about Chasing the Impossible the book that I wrote is it gives hope to families they can see a child make progression and they can see the hope in other parents that have gone before them and as a community we can see how we can support and how we can help and one parent commented you know it’s not that they’re not going to have a future it’s just going to be different than what the future I had planned for them but they can still have an amazing future so people want to get involved and they’re not at the golf tournament today
