Joy Taylor is joining me. How are you? I'm great morning. Good morning. Last night was a little bit of an NBA night. That wasn't any college football. We're waiting for bowls now.

And NFL we're waiting for tonight. Some of you for the Titans Jags game. And so last night I watched a couple of you know like Netflix Amazon Prime things and I watched the Lakers plan. I watched the Sixers plan a little Oklahoma City. Let me start with this.

And I'm just talking NBA. I'm not talking the NFL. The NFL's got seven rounds. Seven rounds of draft players. Many of the all time great NFL players. You didn't even you didn't even see play college. You didn't watch Walter Payton in college. You didn't watch Jerry Rice in college. You didn't see big Ben in college.

You didn't half the end of it. You didn't see T. O in college. You didn't watch Ocho Sinko in college. In football. There is talent everywhere. There is talent everywhere in baseball. How many of these guys did it? Well many of them didn't go to American universities. There's baseball talent globally everywhere. Basketball.

There are very few difference makers. The NBA only has two rounds of their draft two rounds. And by the way after about the 14th pick historically you're out of players. Oh you can give me a Tony Parker a dream on green historically after about the 14th pick. You're not finding stars.

So when I hear about the Lakers developing talent. Let's develop talent. You know LeBron's going to stunt talent. Really? Do you watch that game last night? LeBron was patient for three quarters. He let the other Lakers number two pick Lawn Zone numbered two pick Brandon Ingram Kyle Kuzma. He let all those guys.

Rondo all that rosters a bunch of yeah and then LeBron said in the fourth quarter. All right guys give me the ball scored 14 straight points and an eight point deficit in the fourth when LeBron was being patient became a Laker win by eight.

What am I waiting to develop? You know what the Lakers roster is? It's LeBron and 12 pending transactions. I know Christmases around the corner. Hold off on the Josh Hart and Kyle Kuzma jerseys for your kids. They could be a pelican very soon.

Since the 2015 draft two guys are all stars. Carl Anthony Towns he's regressed and porzingus and he's hurt and the 2014 draft only had one R star Joe L M B.

Who doesn't shoot threes and can't dribble much. So he not going to really carry to a franchise unless he has shooters and ball handlers around him. LeBron James.

I don't want to hear. I mean, Janice whenever I hear about developing stars you can see Kobe Bryant's greatness early. You saw Durant's greatness rookie year.

You can see LeBron early. Coil Leonard. I guess sort of developed and so did the honest, but Janice is still never want to play off series or five years into him.

I hear about developing talent all the time in the NBA. It works out way in hockey works that way in baseball works that way maybe in soccer.

It certainly works that way in football. I'm kind of over developing talent Brandon Ingram hurt again. Lonzo good early not late.

That this roster is all about LeBron. If you're a Laker fan. If you're LeBron James patient, give me players. Philadelphia had that thing called the process and then they went out and they got Jimmy Butler, which was

ostensibly saying the process is a bunch of BS. We drafted four guys. New Orleans Noel bust. Mark L. Foltz bust.

She was a little local for bust Michael Carter Williams bust and they went out and they got Jimmy Butler a player who you didn't watch playing college either.

I mean, let's be honest about it. Let let that's what the Philadelphia 76ers were telling you with their rebuild the process. They gave it a cool nickname that it's a bunch of BS.
