I don't know what you should do, Mike.

I think I'd rather take a bullet in the head.

I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

I don't know what to say.

The Beyond Dumb 2 to 6 show, right?

Jackpot!

985, the Sports Hub.

You don't turn down the 12th overall pick in the first round and maybe even another

first rounder and then turn around and trade the guy for a backup slot receiver, or a backup defensive end slash depth guy in your front seven? No. Do I sound firm on that? Yes, Adam. Do I sound clear on that? If you're going to trade Garoppel, you trade him for the 12th overall pick and then a future first, which may have been on the table. You don't trade him for a backup slok-eye. And then you trade the first for three-thirds. However you do that. You don't have to, Adam. In case you didn't hear that before. No, we got it. Here's the latest. Mark Murphy, Boston Herald on the Kyrie Irving trade. This came across just before we came on the air. Murphy writes that if Cleveland really does want more in exchange for Kyrie Irving,

the Celtics don't know the specifics.

That's because, says Murphy, there has been no contact between the two teams

since multiple reports surface at the Cavaliers, alarmed by the results of Thomas' physical

last Friday, now want more in exchange for Irving.

The Celtics are said to have no contingency plan in place due to the lack of contact

and no plan to either include another asset to make the trade go through or to draw a line

and refuse further compensation.

They have no plan.

They haven't done anything because they haven't gotten their call.

Do you believe that? I don't. But I'm curious about this report. Okay. When I say, do you believe that? Do you believe, A, that they haven't had any conversation, or B, that they don't have a contingency plan? I believe they have to have both. Of course they do. They have to have a contingency plan. They got to be sitting there already saying, well, what if it's true? If they don't have a contingency plan they got to be sitting there already saying well what if it's true if they don't have a contingency plan what the hell are they waiting for uh the celtics medical staff headed by dr brian mckinan was an extensive contact with

its cleveland counterpart in the days leading up to the august twenty second trade with an

equally extensive exchange of information stemming from thomas recovery from a torn labor in his right hip.

So there was a full communication and full exchange when the trade went down, but nothing since.
