Why do I mention the Florida Gators because only one guy on the sports cast know the Gators and that’s Ryan Krista all the way from upstate New York 20 degree weather. Welcome back to the sports guys.
Ryan Christa
Santiago, it is good to be here. Friday afternoon, December and 2020. And we still got football, you know. And thank you to all the players in college and NFL, you know who are working hard for us to provide us some entertainment during this pandemic stricken year and excited to talk to the bottom of upcoming games coming up
Santiago Leon
upcoming games. And of course, yes, thank you for the athletes out there because I know there are going through risks out there. But things are calm flourishing things are working out with NFL a little bit better than college football. Once you agree.
Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, cause is different, you know, I don’t know, they people come and go with them or and I don’t know, and I don’t they I think there’s a lot more in the contract tracing because they don’t always got devices, that kind of mines or how close people are, you know, so you’re setting things on Sunday and other stuff again. Yeah. I mean, and although I’m in college, and the college football players are going through, you know, I’ve been on campus since June, you know, haven’t seen their families and gone through a lot of Florida calls, you know, to kind of entertain that series resign, you know, I mean, NFL did a lot that, you know, there’s still athletes, they’re still getting paid, and that’s their job. And the end, you know, this is college athletes, you know, that’s not their job, you know, this is, you know, kind of a hobby, you know, but you know, they’re taking a lot of risks, you know, and that’s, you know, to, to go out there and, you know, and I applaud them for it, you know, each time you watch a college game, you know, whether you think your team’s Like it or not, or you applaud them, you know, because they went through a lot of protocols, you know, they’re not experiencing the college life a lot of their friends are and that they’re used to and that to get through the season, you know, and hopefully 2021 22 season will be a lot different. But you know, we got to finish up. We got to this point, Santiago, let’s get to the finish line. Both NFL.
Santiago Leon
late breaking news, liberty, football Head Coach Freeze, has been tested positive for covid 19.
Ryan Christa
Yes, I saw that a little bit ago. Tough news. You know, I mean, the program still kind of on pause right now. It’s been a week or so, you know,
Santiago Leon
what happened? when, you know, back to like, what happened with like, the like, the whole coastal thing like, so why would that move? explain to the audience because everyone doesn’t know.
Ryan Christa
So big game, you know, post 909 and wine, you know, the rank
Santiago Leon
and everything.
Ryan Christa
Yeah, rank their ranks? counts game days gonna be you know, costo for the game, you know. Usually on Monday that really care Malik Willis. You know, Liberty’s quarterback testifies up to really that plan, even Tuesday when news, you know what public on that? It was really we didn’t know how severe the situation was. Well, you know, by Wednesday and though they kind of have been learned that, you know, Liberty without most of their whole defensive staff, and then, you know, the next round of testing proved that, you know, more people tested positive on the team and our contract chasing and, you know, they’re still hoping that puts together not players eligible. But, you know, Friday morning the House staff celebrity and coaches kind of agree that, you know, is too much too many players missing, you know, they were, it was unsafe for them to be playing and, you know, major college football game with this few players available. So they had to cancel but while that was all going on, you know, they’re very often to costo and, you know, by Wednesday the you know, I think they had the, it was a good possibility that they wouldn’t be able to play the game and then you have a fixed situation with College GameDay, coming on campus and coastal didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity. What did they call they called BYU and you know, because BYU was searching for marquee games, now their football you know, playoff resume or even just get into a year 16 so they were able to negotiate a deal so Friday morning, you know, when the game was canceled they’re able to bring me wire it maybe was like Thursday night they’re able to bring BYU into the game. It’s crazy how that worked out and probably one of the games of the year so yeah, the ball team knows that BYU for you know, even though they win the games, you know, to you know, to be able to fly across the country. Yeah, it is crazy and in the world of you know, college football games getting scheduled 12 years from now that you know that maybe my son will be able to get to play in you know if he plays division one football but it’s crazy, you know, so, I mean, you had a game that was literally put together you know, in 48 hours so gang you know, the great game great product, you know, and then you go you turn on the college football playoff show on Tuesday and you realize game didn’t really mean much into the whole big picture because even though costo won they didn’t really move up. So it is what it is you know, it’s the lice in a group of five is tough. doesn’t you know they had a last spotlight they got a college game name as good for you know, their Kostas program and group of five football in general.
Santiago Leon
Well, that is our quick college update. We’ll have a little bit more at the end of the show. Ryan crystal last night the Rams defeated the Patriots. 24 to three in Arizona. No, in Los Angeles at that $6 billion stadium. Cam Akers was the player of the game. What are your thoughts about the Rams? And are the Patriots season over?
Ryan Christa
You know, they went the Patriots went to Los Angeles last Saturday, Sunday. And they needed to win both games they took care of the charges easily last Sunday 45 minutes mostly do their defense and special teams. You know they kind of didn’t have any magic last last night you know, another tough performance by cam knew those tech six Rams basically took it to the pages early on in the game and just kind of based on you know, random balls way behind with the aforementioned cam makers. So it was a solid performance by the Rams to get that victory prove their lead and the NFC which I think is the best division in football.
Santiago Leon
No way. No way can’t be the best. It is no, it is the best. I can’t think of anything else. I think I’ve seen the one with the Titans and called but that’s that’s like the only two teams Houston my third
Ryan Christa
division when the worst team is a 40 Niners and I don’t think they’re a playoff team. But it’s a really good non playoff team so exact even the Cardinals might not be a playoff team. But again, that’s a very good team so and there’s no there’s no lowlifes and the vicious thing with the cold Titans evasion is that you’re you know the Texans are under a team so they’re not a bad team. But you still got the Jaguars who are a dumpster fire. All right, Ryan.
Santiago Leon
Are we ready to dip into NFL week 14 predictions?
Ryan Christa
Absolutely. Let’s go.
Santiago Leon
AFC, South Tennessee at the Jaguars. This should be an easy win by Tennessee.
Ryan Christa
Absolutely. You know they want opening day and came close to winning into the makings put up a good after loss and over time my cleaning you know seems to improve the level of play for the team so you know putting them in good position to win the game so but in the end I like the Titans are winning easily coming off of their loss against the Browns on Sunday I think the regroup find their footing and kind of dismantle the Jaguars.
Santiago Leon
How do you see this Tennessee team? Are they as strong as last year? Can they make a deep run?
Ryan Christa
I think they’re better than last year their record may not show they’re always and they might not make it to the AFC Championship because I think they have seen general is better. But I think you know, they’re right down hills. You know when he’s on you know, he’s a very vulnerable quarterback. their weapons on the outside AJ Brown, Jonah Smith a tight end. A good you know, and Derrick Henry’s running the ball again strong so yeah, I think they’re getting you know, they’re kind of inconsistent on defense. They got shredded by Baker Mayfield on Sunday. So you know, they make consistent effort on the back end and the defense I think that’s really I think where they’re lacking is just the quality of defense. I think offense are better than a habit.
Santiago Leon
And of course, Jacksonville is making a run for the NFL Draft but I don’t think they’ll take that that number one spot the Jets. The Jets are pretty much almost have that in their pocket.
Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, I try to give that away and then Greg Williams decided to a hail mary which cost him his job but isn’t doing that. So
Santiago Leon
next game the Minnesota Vikings visit the Tom Brady buccaneers. Kirk Cousins looking good of course with dalvin cook Tampa Bay is struggling with the deep ball fine Who do you have that matchup in Tampa
Ryan Christa
is a must win for both teams. You know, Tampa Bay’s I know they they’ve been hot cold lately even though they’re you know, even though they lost the Chiefs they play well but you know, I I think this game comes down to the wire and I I went to the Vikings I think they need to seem just a little bit more than the Buccaneers but I think it’s evenly matched to that. Whatever skill set that the Vikings the Vikings might be one of the best teams in NFL they just started so slow.
Santiago Leon
Exactly. Now which receiver will be the receiver of the day for that game for when it comes to the Buccaneers?
Ryan Christa
I always I always take my guns I think he
Santiago Leon
was a sprained ankle or something or like there was some news about that this
Ryan Christa
week. What would you say?
Santiago Leon
Did he have some injury update or something?
Ryan Christa
a hamstring issue
Santiago Leon
your hamstring? That was it but he still plays
Ryan Christa
right now I think he’s playing
Santiago Leon
what’s stopping him Brian?
Ryan Christa
Yeah,
Santiago Leon
anyways, this game Kansas City mahomes versus a future mahomes and to attack a lower Ryan Who do you have for that matchup?
Ryan Christa
I I think the Chiefs I think the chiefs are just a better team. All right, come on, man. All right. You know I love I love what the dolphins are doing. I think Brian Flores is coaching the year not even a doubt but the Chiefs or the chiefs of the Chiefs right now Santiago and I just don’t see them losing to the dolphins
Santiago Leon
But hey, they could be in Miami miracle part two.
Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, I saw that
Santiago Leon
happens in December always Ryan
Ryan Christa
Yes. And I thought you know, gave the Chiefs everything they wanted and more on Sunday night so you never know Speak of
Santiago Leon
the devil the Broncos visit Carolina drew lock is back No offense is fantastic. Ryan can Denver win on the road? Absolutely. You
Ryan Christa
know I think that the Panthers without another week without Christian McCaffrey I think this is a plan as long as the Broncos want to come in and play in the players because they did Sunday they should win this game again you’re flying across the country you know they’re basically losing Sunday solidify they’re not going to make the playoffs so it’s always interesting to see which teams finished the season high and which ones are are done So Ryan
Santiago Leon
before we move on to Houston what happened with like the whole Denver Bronco thing and like having all their quarterbacks not play with it, why not practice with the mask? And then they couldn’t play that one Sunday. What happened there right so
Ryan Christa
what’s the one of their backup quarterbacks Jeff driskel tested positive. So when they did the contract chase thing and you know they’re all in the room at the same time. Basically NFL game since they weren’t wearing their masks and following proper protocols. That all the rest of the quarterbacks are deemed ineligible for that week therefore the NFL wasn’t going to work with them to reschedule the game
Santiago Leon
interesting well and then you had that wire that that practice squad wide receiver becoming quarterback or something is that
Ryan Christa
yeah so attractive card corner writer receiver who wasn’t even on the practice squad at that moment you know they fly him across the country basically got to the gate y’all Colorado late Saturday night and basically tried to put together a game it was a it was what it was it was a disaster and I’m glad that that week is over you know, this, I think is one of those moments where you know, you’re proud because they played hard the defense played ridiculously good, you know, gave them a shot to me, you know, but you can’t ask that situation you can ask for more any anything from that guy.
Santiago Leon
And there you have it. Denver Broncos withdrew lock with their starting quarterback is gonna visit Carolina musc when I believe in July, I’m in team drew lock team. Ryan is in who knows land. Let’s go on to Houston at Chicago Houston team that we saw some good burst this past couple of weeks, especially for Thanksgiving. And the Chicago team that still confused Ryan who wins in Soldier Field
Ryan Christa
either I think the Texans when they shouldn’t be in the Colts, you know, they fumbled with the six yard line on a bad snap, though, and a way to take the lead over the coax the other day, I think again, the team is playing very well right now. Keen that, you know, the fire that coach main moves is kind of rejuvenated this team you know, they’re far from being perfect. You know, if they made some terrible trades, you know, they said the team back but I think right now, you gotta like, you know, when your chances when, you know, watching the quarterback for a squat, you know, Mr. bestie, you gotta like that matchup every day. So we got the Texans.
Santiago Leon
The Texans win in Chicago, Arizona at the Giants Ryan can the Giants repeat the miracle they did against Seattle? Can he do it on with Arizona?
Ryan Christa
This is a playoff game for both teams. Both teams absolutely need this. You know, I think the Giants left Seattle after beating the Seahawks on Sunday. Thank you. Was that locker was
Santiago Leon
that real deal?
Ryan Christa
I think that was real because I think this team is playing so good right now. But you know, they got home, you know, and they and then they turn on the Redskins. Thinking that the Steelers are going to take care of that season finding out that the Redskins pulled off their own Miracle on Monday night by beating the Steelers. So again, making this game a very much win game for the giant. But at the same time. This is a desperation game for the Cardinals who have lost I think four out of five games so they need this game to stay in the playoffs and so I’m gonna go with the Cardinals.
Santiago Leon
Cardinals win at metal ends right next to the Mall of America or whatever that mall right next to the giant stadium is next game the Dallas Cowboys visited the Cincinnati Bengals odd game but Dallas is still in the run. Right?
Ryan Christa
They are I mean absolutely this game and a lot of help. You know, what you saw on Tuesday night or Tuesday night against the Ravens is who the giants are who the Cowboys are they’re not a very good football team. I can’t stop the run here but the Bengals are worse football teams. Especially that Joe burrow so I’m gonna go with the Cowboys to keep those season on life support.
Santiago Leon
Before we move on, do you think Dak will sign an extension?
Ryan Christa
I think go to I think that’d be done matches. This season proves anything it shows how good Dak Prescott is because our offense has been atrocious since he’s left. Next game
Santiago Leon
surprisingly the Indianapolis Colts with the Phillip rivers as 30 years old visit the Vegas Raiders who are a little bit up and down. Ryan Who do you got?
Ryan Christa
Oh this is a great football game to hard nosed football team to again a playoff you know important game you know I just think the Raiders are a little bit more put together than the Colts even cars you know more is less likely to turn the ball over than Philip Rivers so I’m going to go with the Raiders so when looking
Santiago Leon
pretty confident with an answer it can be the word my next game the the defeated your jets at Seattle I’m sure Seattle can beat this New York team.
Ryan Christa
Yeah. Very very motivated to get this victory this week, so I’m going to go with the Seahawks to win big. Take out some of their frustration from Sunday against the Giants out on the Jets. The Jets are gonna do all the time to make sure they do Know when the scheme which is interesting it’s always you know I was just thinking this when you got you know the coaches when the when the players want to play good so they get another contract and it’s not what the jets and the front office wants you to so it’s always a dilemma when you got a team like the Jaguars you know the perspective of each game do
Santiago Leon
you think the plan is to get rid of gays or do you think the trust gays with Trevor Lawrence
Ryan Christa
No, I actually think they’re gonna you know, I’m I guess the surprise to me is that the end do it earlier, but at some point, I think you just know it and you’ve done a good job of playing hard for the most part, but i i think i got
Santiago Leon
the Washington football team at the San Francisco 40. Niners aka plane in Arizona. This game could go anywhere, but you know, Alex Smith versus, versus whoever the quarterback isn’t at San Francisco you got
Ryan Christa
Nick. Nick molins Nick Mullens, right, based on what I saw on Monday night from both teams, I’m gonna go with the foreign irda the Redskins to get into the game. So I’m gonna go read
Santiago Leon
the Washington football team now. This Alex Smith.
Ryan Christa
Washington football,
Santiago Leon
Alex Smith. Is he the permanent starter for the next couple years for Washington? I mean, how do you see that?
Ryan Christa
I would have said no earlier I think we talked we talked about this. I think we’re just happy for him to be on the roster, but
Santiago Leon
he’s a he’s more than Ryan Fitzpatrick he’s more than a filler. Please.
Ryan Christa
You might get you can allow yourself to draft a project quarterback who might need a year or two to be groomed on your roster. While you have Alex Smith, I don’t think you need to go and draft you know. Or Or you know, a high ranking quarterback you know they need to play right now because I think Alex has definitely got another year or two if he can stay healthy.
Santiago Leon
And Ryan staying healthy the saints at the eagles and Eagles team that is starting Jalen hertz is the starting quarterback for the eagles and of course we got the saints good saints with with taysom Hill Ryan what can we see in Philadelphia Are you a hertz believer
Ryan Christa
I’m not 100 hertz believer but I think it was the right move cuz you gotta try to save her season now the problem is you know what are you gonna do a Carson Wentz going forward but the contract that suddenly issue and that’s more future issues so
Santiago Leon
which I have a meeting with him after this podcast about him Falcon
Ryan Christa
only no issue Carson Wentz is that you he are a sign extension going forward you know for the next four years so thing a lot of money so but regarding this game I think things are better football team I think taysom Hill is playing well so I’m gonna go with them to win this game. Now what’s the best we
Santiago Leon
can expect from hertz? What are your expect? I mean, what is the most he can give professionally mean what’s the ceiling?
Ryan Christa
I don’t know if it’s young time I think he him you know, he’s not gonna lose your games. I think he’s exciting. I mean, you can go from what you saw Sunday because right now you know, he’s given whole week to be a starting quarterback preparing the starter. They’re gonna put in plays that worked for him. So I think you’re gonna see a little bit more relaxed. Jalen hertz, then you saw Sunday because he he made some plays Sunday and he played well but it was so well Aaron Aaron with his throws in the America I think he got me a corner but and every day, every week quarterback but I’m not sold on it yet. So the next couple weeks, I think it’s unlikely the Eagles make the playoffs. So I think you got to see what you got. And Jalen hertz. And
Santiago Leon
and we wish him well. Jalen hertz team Alabama. Sunday Night Football. Ryan, Christa Pittsburgh Steelers lost their first game last week. They go into buffalo with a good Josh Allen. This could be a big test for Pittsburgh. And of course, Buffalo Ryan, who do you got on Sunday Night Football.
Ryan Christa
The worst part about this? I mean, Western York is so excited about this game.
Unknown Speaker
This is the worst part. It just could tell them I’m
Ryan Christa
crazy when eating buffalo fan there at the game yo aside the sad part about the possibile season is that when you got your fans but I I admired a bill fans, you know my wife is one and so I cheer for him on Sunday. But you know if the respect the bills have fans have for their team and how much Georgia has you can see it during the week but seeing them at the game and I know this is not just about I know you got to take the measures that you know the government issued so it’s not a political statement but this is so you know, wishing that you know, you could see that great atmosphere to you know, the Buffalo and get the host very many primetime football game you know, and then lastly they get to host a Friday night football games
are a great football game
Santiago Leon
you owe it to the last game and never Oh, we will never find out who you pick. Ryan’s there Well, it’s Pittsburgh and buffalo I think I’m guessing he’s gonna pick buffalo
Ryan Christa
Yeah, I think
good show but I’m going to take a look at the local team the windows game yeah, I think in a very high scoring because I think what you got to notice little by little every week you kind of see it the bottom line you know, the Steelers have got an issue with reaching COVID and injuries on defense. So what started off as a great amazing effect as you know, who you know was playing a lot of pressure on the quarterback they’re starting to lose those players you know that I saw great players my backhand yet but I losing a little bit of that pass rush each week it seems like you know, they gotta find the running game you know, without Connor so I think this will be a fun game again. I think it’ll be high scoring i think you know, Ben will put on a good show Joshua too. So I’m gonna you know, say the 3431
Santiago Leon
buffalo wings on Sunday Night Football Only on NBC angle Buffalo Bills changed your stadium. From Ryan, Krista. I mean to Ryan Wilson stadium to barstool stadium.
Ryan Christa
Well, it was it was a new era cap field, which is a Buffalo area for chatter baseball cap producer you know so they were there they lost the naming rights. So now is is known as Buffalo Bill stadium. And think so but they’re open to getting bids but I don’t think it’s going to be barstool sports because I still got to get passed by the Erie County which is a local government could they still don’t have a part in the stadium so I don’t think it will be called barstool sports. I think they’ll be some sort of other Corporation.
Santiago Leon
We’ll see the sports cast put a bid on for a billion dollars the sports cast stadium.
Ryan Christa
Yeah. And it’s interesting because it’s going to definitely an event it’s it’s in the suburb Santiago it’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it’s income. Basically, if you go and pick a residential neighborhood, I don’t know like what it’d be like in Florida but maybe you know, going to a suburb that’s not very commercialized and putting you know, a 70,000 seat stadium you know, in the middle of a neighborhood that’s what you know, the bills Damn it’s not you know, it’s it’s not flashing there’s nothing new great about it. But you know, there’s definitely a push, you know, to build another stadium sooner rather than later here because the thought is, if you don’t build one here, we know all those next other belts that eventually you know, the team will move to greener pasture so hopefully in the near future, you know, that it will get man to build a brand new football.
Santiago Leon
And there you have it, that’s our NFL predictions for week 14. Week 15. We’ll see Saturday Night Football Saturday football going in because of course college football is fading out. But NFL football continues
Ryan Christa
to be a big day of football in my household fancy. Little bills play out by Denver Broncos. So you know, a little bit of Household rivalry going up you know my wife cheers for the Broncos I cheer for the girls for her you know but not not when we play each other you know? I’ll be fine and that will lead into eight o’clock when we both can be cheering on the Florida Gators Versa Crimson Tide and SEC championship so yeah 789 will be a big day of football in the crystal house
Santiago Leon
now will you be watching these games live because because apparently you watch these games eight hour delay
Ryan Christa
Santiago We especially you know when there’s nice weather out and and we can get to enjoy some outdoor family friendly events here you know, you know I get to do that, you know, I put on the DVR and say you know when we go home or watch the games, you know, but so yeah, say yes, you got sick family friendly here on the weekends, you know, so to get to make sure everybody’s happy but yeah, so I think I think there’ll be a lot of live football going on in the crystal house.
Santiago Leon
Having some family in sports boundaries. College Football This
Ryan Christa
is San Diego we don’t get nice weather all the time. So when we get nice weather on a Saturday you got to go out and enjoy because soon enough it’ll be snowing out and you know, nothing will be COVID so yeah.
Santiago Leon
You’d be inside all the time feel so sorry for you guys. More college football predictions Ryan Who? Yeah, between Georgia and Missouri.
Ryan Christa
I mean, normally I say San Diego I think the whole goal dogs program. Season you know they’ve had a couple weeks off, you know due to by week and COVID cancellations and their bill that they might not be all in but you know, JT Daniels has liked the last couple weeks. I do think kind of raised black quarterbacks. Sorry his play awesome. last two weeks they won a thrilling game against Arkansas. For those who didn’t see that game that might be the Game of the Year in the sec 5248 very, very entertaining game so I’m gonna say I’m gonna go the Bulldogs
Santiago Leon
and ACC show down North Carolina at Miami. Ryan Krista Who do you have
Ryan Christa
I’m gonna go with the local San Diego’s Miami Hurricanes win this game I think Dr. King or Sam How is a tremendous quarterback matchup, Manny Diaz verse I think his old boss and Max brown at some point. I think he works for him. Texas, so that would be an interesting side. But you know, sign up because I believe he Manny Diaz was fired by Mack Brown after a very poor performance by Texas versus BYU years ago, which I think was led by one taste of hell out there so those but I’m gonna go with Miami to win this game.
Santiago Leon
Perfect Miami canes continuing the program is still building looking good looking pristine. And Twitter Poll Question of the day Ryan, what is the most important app on your phone? The options are the email app, a web browser, Instagram, or the Facebook,
Ryan Christa
Instagram and Facebook side. I got a problem with our generator. We are on the left way too much. But that’s my favorite one is the ESPN app.
Santiago Leon
I can take that ESPN app. email app is winning Ryan by 80%. Well, browser at 20. Instagram or Facebook at zero was that
Ryan Christa
you get a lot of email.
Santiago Leon
I get like about 100 emails a day.
Unknown Speaker
How many of them are worthy? Probably 20% of them. spam
Ryan Christa
emails. Anytime you go to any store in the UI, you know they asked for email like okay, whatever. Whatever discount they’re offering you to get. Get out an email list. And then every time you do that ends up being junk. junk. I guess that’s the price you pay for this.
Santiago Leon
Well, Ryan, what is the best way to reach you to have email control? Yeah.
Ryan Christa
We got a great weekend of football, you know, Army Navy. Go to Don’t forget about that this weekend. Yeah.
Santiago Leon
Who do you have for that matchup?
Ryan Christa
The game is being played for the first time and I think since world war two campuses and let me play to my PC and where I think College GameDay will be located on the campus of United States Military Academy and less points work which I am I this is a sign of closing arguments I’ve been to both campuses West Point and Annapolis there’s nothing better than seeing a college football game there you know, the college football game itself is like a secondary to actually all attaching Syria you know, and all the fun things you get to do on campus and see so I recommend you know, to anybody out there listening go in you know, when campuses are open to football games are safe to go to next year hopefully try to make your way to go into one of the service academies watching because there’s pure good entertainment is wholesome and you know that you know the people you’re watching you know are going to be you know, their players today and heroes tomorrow. So again, you know, tomorrow’s game is America’s game army vs Navy you know, guess there’s gonna be a winner in the game but you know both teams are winners but somebody’s got to win like I said I’m gonna go with the win the game on the road

Ryan Christa
I don’t know it’s interesting now. I think it’s so hard to be offseason was literally so short and so quick. From what I heard that I could, you know aren’t gonna they’re not gonna be quick to trade I’m away just to get them off the roster and move on you know, they want something I think his ultimate destination is the net ivacy going and then that’s not going to give them Katie or Tyrese. So you know, and I think you know, the other nation is the Sixers which obviously I think you’re good wine Ben Simmons but you just brought in john wall you know, both players come and beat the ball to be successful. So that’s kind of a difficult you know landscape to it because I mean, ultimately you want to you’re going to get up when the premier players in the NBA which I think is ultimately what’s going to happen you’re going to want to you’re never going to get full value on a trade back because it’s just not the way it works but you know you want enough assets to protect your team MSA for now but for the future because when you turn away when I say restaurant yeah you got john wall but you got a banged up john wall you got the dam is good what you got is a first round pick from the wizards so yes, you got a comparable good player but you’ve got an asset so you’re looking to build something you know a comparable a good player fill in play you know, right away to help you but also you want to asset to the future too. So that’s kind of what the Rockets you know management is looking for you know, and there’s where a situation you know, James Harden doesn’t show for the first two days in a training camp, his team in Las Vegas partying with big crowds, which is obviously 2020 data data ideal situation for you to be seen on the internet doing that so I think you got to take a buttload of COVID tests before they let him even back on the court. So I don’t know beside Time passes all those tests are going to be even on the Rockets but i think is showing up in basically to show them the show prospects that he’s in shape they can still play right now. So as
Santiago Leon
a top top tier player, of course I know the Miami Heat won’t take them But anyways, this is a sports guys
Ryan Christa
you know hero
Santiago Leon
in the you know, it’d be tough to trade that guy. It’d be tough to trade Tyler.
Ryan Christa
You know, I think he’s a foundational part I don’t think he’s across all the players because they you know James Harden is you know, you can say a lot about him, you know, he’s a winner necessary, you know that you’d want to win a championship but the guy can scores over 30 points and he, you know, he, those players don’t grow on trees. So wherever he goes, you know, you’re gonna get a great offensive player, you know, we’ve got
Santiago Leon
a great asset and of course another great players Ryan crystal here for the sports guys. The sports cast on that Ryan, I gotta go because I gotta go eat lunch and then work a little bit more.
