Brian Scalabrini, of course, you know him from CSN, you know him from his years on the Boston Celtics. Hello, Brian Scalabrini on the 18T expert hotline. How are you guys doing this morning? Congrats on your Cumberland Farms endorsement. I see you all over TV now. I'm surprised. Why would they pick him over me?

If it's the same guy, and he's in L.A., I'm so much cooler than him. I don't understand. Well, he's famous. By the way, we are different people. It's not the same guy. Michael Rappaport and Brian Scalbreni are different people. I believe Scalp probably has about 7-8 inches on Michael Rappaport. All right, Scowl, Golden State, this will be a debate as the dog days of summer hit us. This will be, by the way, John, it's 80. But this is not 70. You're 10 degrees off. Okay. But now, Brian Scalbreni, where does Golden State rank as an all-time? Is this the best team in NBA history? You know what? I don't know if they're better than that 96 Bulls team or the 86 Celtics. I mean, it's hard to say, like, you know, playing in different eras. I know that if these guys went back then and played their style now, that teams back then would have a hard time guarding them because of the three-point shot. They just weren't used to the barrage of threes. But, you know, it's hard to bet against like a guy like Jordan or it's hard to really bet against that 86 team, how good they were. But I will say this is probably the most talented roster of all time. That's what I do believe. They just have so many offensive weapons, and they compete on the defensive end.

But, you know, this team is designed to win now in today's game.

You know, I think the game was a lot different in the 80s and also the game was different in the 90s.

All right.

How many Hall of Famers, in your opinion, were on the court last night?

Let's go with five.

I'll say five.

Okay, who are the five?

That's a lot. Maybe.

So who are the five?

I don't know at the end of the day if people, well, I'll go with six.

I'll say Draymond Green is in that. So the four

from the Warriors and the two from the Cavs. And you can make an argument that Kevin Love will sneak in there. You know, but I don't know if they only win one championship, which I don't know if they'll win another championship or if they do win another championship. I don't know if Kevin Love will be there. So Kevin Love might be on the outside looking in, but let's say, two from the cabs, four from the Warriors. You have Clay Thompson? Yeah. I had to Draymond? You guys have got to project four. If they win like four championships, how are you going to leave them on? No, no, but you're putting Clay Thompson ahead of Draymond Green. That seems odd. No, no, no, I got four from the Warriors. Right. Yeah, but you kind of threw them in at the end.

You had Clayton. you're putting Clay Thompson ahead of Draymond Green that seems odd. No, no, no, I got four from the Warriors.

Right.

On Green's in there.

Yeah, but you kind of threw him in at the end. You had Clay Thompson in there, and then you kind of threw Draymond on top of that. Well, here's... Okay, so, Fred, you know how I feel about Dream on Green. It's equally how you feel about Dream on Green. Right. But the problem is, I don't know if the rest of the world likes him like that.

You know, I don't think they see his value.

I see his... equally how you feel about Dremont Green. Right. But the problem is, I don't know if the rest of the world likes him like that.

You know, I don't think they see his value. I see his value. I don't think the Warriors are nearly as good without Dramon Green. I think Dremont Green on the Celtics would be tremendous for us. But I don't know how the world sees him. And I think that that would, you know, like when you're talking about the Hall of Fame,

they might take, like, some stat junkie DeMarcus cousins versus like a Jerry Mongrina. I just stas. But at the end of the day, those guys are going to win four or five championships, so I think you've got to throw them in there. All right. So what do the Cavs do at this point? Because right now they are so locked up with money. people are talking about Kevin Love being the one bargaining chip that they could use
