0:00.0	Back with good friend Danny Canal. We're going to talk about the college football world.
0:15.5	Some of our fears are hopes. I'm going to start off with just kind of summarized kind of where I'm
0:19.8	out with the Russell Westbrook future whether or not that is with the Lakers and why it kind of can't be
0:24.8	in the life of place. Before we get to Danny Canal I want to spend a little time kind of picking up a
0:31.7	couple of the pieces here on the rest of the NBA offseason part which never really feels like it
0:36.5	ends right and that is the Westbrook dilemma for the Lakers. Now a lot of topics especially when
0:42.4	it's the NBA thing I can be like okay what's going on all right this is exactly how I feel on
0:46.0	I'm unwavering. When it comes to players however many years in whether they're going to be I'm
0:50.0	usually not that valuable with it not only to change my mind. Maliable probably defined it
0:55.6	something slightly different but I think we're all in the same page here. When it comes to the

1:21.6	Pacers part of it because I can make the Kyrie thing real quick. If I'm the other 2018's so
1:27.2	everyone besides the Nets and the Lakers the other 2018's I can't hang up fast enough on the Kyrie
1:31.3	thing. I don't want to be in the Kyrie business I'm not interested in it whatsoever. The Lakers
1:36.0	to move Westbrook out because of stuff that I'll get to here to bring in Kyrie I think actually
1:41.0	would be worth the gamble but there's another part of the Kyrie story that I think is really
1:44.6	interesting is that from what I've heard is that he feels like hey I just opted into this year
1:49.1	and then I'm waiting for that next extension that I should have gotten this year because I was going
1:52.0	to get it anyway because the other part that I've heard is that's actually we're willing to give
