All right, here we go.

Felgren-Maz on a Friday, meaning it's an agenda-free Friday. Everything on the board from the week, anything we've gotten to or have yet to get to. We'll open up the phones here in a second. First, we're brought you by Maddie Imports, Maddie, and Volkswagen of Fall River, where customers become family. We have Michael Hurley in for Maz today in the Maz chair. Hi, Hurley. What's going on? How you doing, kid?

We're doing great.

We got Joe Murray in the update studio.

I'm already going to apologize in advance for calling you Big Jim. I'm going to do it like I've already written it down in front me. So you just remember to say Jeopardy Joe Murray versus Big Jim Murray. Hi, Mike. Hi, Joe, but I know I'm going to get it wrong throughout the course of the day. so you you know, don't... It's fun. Don't hold it against me.

We call him Jeopardy Joe, because he tends to do when he's doing a solo show, say everything

in the form of a question.

So that's just so you get that inside joke.

Again, everything on the board from the weekend, anything we've gotten to or have yet to get to,

we start with some opening thoughts, want to go first? Sure. I mean, obviously it's been a couple days now. Everyone sort of reacted, dissected, graded the trade, and, you know, winners and losers and things like that. It's been pretty taken care of. So what's stuck out to me, and I was on this when Aange made the trade at draft day, is just how bold this guy is being this offseason because do you know what the easiest thing for him to do this this summer would have been is draft Mark L. Fultz, who everyone said was the, you know, consensus number one, you're going to be a great superstar, and keep Isaiah Thomas. And then if it didn't work out next year, if he left, you know, no one would fault him for sticking with Isaiah. Everyone loves Isaiah. But he's following his own conviction and he's following his own beliefs. He's trading Markell Fultz and he's trading Isaiah Thomas just in your face. And I just feel like he's showing the world his brass ones. And he's saying, this is me, this is my my vision this is what i picture needs to be done

and he's doing it you know he's not worried about about the backlash about about what fans might

think and you know it might blow up on him but it also might turn out spectacularly i mean it's

going to be that that's the fun part to watch but really just the past two months from jane h

has been historic i think that what the decisions he's made will impact this franchise for 15 years. No question, but palsy, like not no-brainers. Like the Pierce-Garnet trade impacts the thing for 15 years, but that was a no-brainer. Oh, yeah. That was a fleeting. These are hard, big decisions with downside. Yeah, I mean, the Fultz one still to me is just

stunning. I mean, obviously you and I watch the same modern Markhill Fultz play basketball, but from what you read and what the experts say, like, this is the real deal, this guy's going to do it. And then they traded him and it was the Celtics finally got the number one pick and it's gone. And it's like, that's sort of been, that's sort of washed away for the past month.

It hasn't really been part of it.

But as this team builds and as Fultz is playing and as we see Tatum, it's going to be,

it's all about age. And, you know, I don't know that it's going to work. I don't know that it's

going to fail, but it's, he's putting it all on his own shoulders. We can continue to follow up on Irving if you want at 617-779-0-98-5.

Joe.

Chris Sale, watched him pitch last night, went three innings in that one.

I'm starting to be a little concerned about Sale. Just for the simple fact, he struggled not only against the Yankees, but Cleveland. And if you look at the Red Sox, they're set up to play the Cleveland Indians in the first round of the playoffs. He struggled not just this year and last year. His career against
