These guys know how to connect with you about Boston sports.

Paul and give us your take and then get off the phone.

Calder and Mazz on 985. The Sports Hub.

All right, we'll continue with your phones.

We've got that Moogie Betts conversation.

We've got the NBA drama, Celtics drama.

My opening take was on Aaron Roger last night, and he has fallen off.

He has fallen off big time as a game manager, in my opinion.

Fall off big time in terms of field vision and making the right smart play.

He gagged last night. Total gag. That was my opening take. Murray's on the Celtics and Toronto tonight. Big game. Must win. Must win for the seas over Toronto, says Big Jim Murray. So what do you think about all that and more? Jane Gloucester, your thoughts on Kyrie Irving and those comments to Mike Shoshchewski. Go ahead.

Well, I wasn't on Shussevsky. I was saying, why not, it's probably a total long shuffle. Why not trade him to our Philly with his buddy, Jimmy Butler? And then the Madd can get a little Embed in his pants with Ah, Embed. Would you trade Kyrie Irving for Joel Embedde? No. No.

No.

Good job, Mass.

No, I just, Kyrie's, you know, in the modern, I love Embed, you know that. But Kyrie's a 50-point-a-game guy, and Kyrie doesn't look like a dog to me. You know, Embed's got a little of that in. I mean, there's what thing on top of it, big guys get hurt a lot. I know Kyrie's get the knee,

but Jimmy. Big guys with injury history do not last on that league. Okay, same thing we're asking about bets. If Jimmy, you think Kyrie's still a flight risk? I'm worried, yes. Okay. If you think he's a flight risk, isn't smart to trade him and get something for him? I would say yes. So you would consider that if you were the Celtics. I would do that deal.

And the reason why I do it is so far this season, I believe Joel Ombed is leading the NBA in minutes. So he's finally showing that durability this season. Okay. So you would get out ahead of the problem with the Kyrievian trade. You would still trade Kyrie Irving. I'd drive him to Philadelphia at this point.

Because he bugs you.

He just bugs me. There's just something about him. He's probably one of these numerology guys who believes in all this crap. His mouth bugs me. His game is impeccable. He's a tremendous basketball player. You know, it's just, dude, put a sock in it. But the difference between what the Celtics are now and what they were two years ago is Kyrie.

That's it.

No.

Two years ago?

Yeah.
