00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.310 align:middle line:90%
- I agree with this sentiment.

00:00:01.310 --> 00:00:03.780 align:middle line:84%
I didn't love that he was
singling out AD and saying

00:00:03.780 --> 00:00:05.820 align:middle line:84%
it was a groundbreaking move
because Jimmy Butler happened

00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:07.050 align:middle line:90%
before Anthony Davis happened.

00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:07.290 align:middle line:90%
- Right.

00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:09.300 align:middle line:84%
- So isn't that the
groundbreaking move?

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:10.230 align:middle line:90%
I think--

00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:11.190 align:middle line:90%
- Carmelo Anthony--

00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:11.750 align:middle line:90%
- Carmelo Anthony--

00:00:11.750 --> 00:00:12.510 align:middle line:90%
- --Denver Nuggets.

00:00:12.510 --> 00:00:12.770 align:middle line:90%
- --of course, right.

00:00:12.770 --> 00:00:13.980 align:middle line:90%
So I think just by virtue--

00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:15.480 align:middle line:84%
- And that's your
boy, so I'm sorry.

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:21.010 align:middle line:10%
- [LAUGHS] By virtue of Anthony
Davis being represented by Rich

00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:23.010 align:middle line:10%
Paul, who just seems to
be, for whatever reason,

00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:25.740 align:middle line:10%
a lightning rod when
it comes to discussion,

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:29.100 align:middle line:10%
there was more attention
paid to his deal and/or

00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:31.120 align:middle line:10%
his requests or whatever.

00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:32.159 align:middle line:90%
But it's not just him.

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:33.300 align:middle line:90%
He's not the poster boy.

00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:36.180 align:middle line:84%
And it's happened in the
league in other instances.

00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:38.590 align:middle line:84%
And, yeah, I agree
there's some issue here.

00:00:38.590 --> 00:00:40.510 align:middle line:90%
But what is the solution?

00:00:40.510 --> 00:00:42.690 align:middle line:84%
Perhaps, I've had
people suggest to me,

00:00:42.690 --> 00:00:45.330 align:middle line:84%
when the next [? CBA ?]
negotiations come around,

00:00:45.330 --> 00:00:47.880 align:middle line:84%
the maximum life
contracts, there'll

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.830 align:middle line:84%
be a push from
ownership to cut it

00:00:49.830 --> 00:00:53.190 align:middle line:84%
from rather than five and
four to maybe three and four.

00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:55.320 align:middle line:84%
And that could be the
consequences [? of ?] players

00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:56.220 align:middle line:90%
wanting freedom.

00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:57.280 align:middle line:90%
OK, you can have freedom.

00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.280 align:middle line:84%
But it means you're going
to have less long-term

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.600 align:middle line:90%
guaranteed stability--

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:01.500 align:middle line:90%
- Right.

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:04.220 align:middle line:84%
- --from financial
consideration standpoint.
