| 0:34.7 | Rob, let's go here. |
| 0:36.0 | A lot of people, I think we may have broached it or mentioned it. |
| 0:39.7 | And obviously some callers mentioned. |
| 0:42.8 | And Rob G. is just hyped. |
| 0:45.2 | He's getting like a school girl. |
| 0:46.8 | He put his little three bucks on, you know, Lakers at 50 to one odds to win the championship. |
| 0:52.1 | And he is just, it swears that they're about to get |
| 0:55.4 | Kyrie and win it all and so let's talk about the possibility the notion of |

So this notion at all, they just, and you you even mentioned it earlier, this notion that, oh, but he comes off the cap. Well, Kyrie does too. Exactly. But if it's just a cap hit, you know, you'll let Kyrie walk and Rob, you don't have to pay all that extra luxury tax. So I think barring a three-team deal, and this is where Rob Polinko would earn his money, |
| 2:03.5 | is if he can somehow find a three-team deal that satisfies the Nets and they are able to get |
| 2:10.3 | Kyrie Irving, then more power to him. |
| 2:13.2 | But Rob, I think it's going to be incredibly difficult. |
