These guys B-Pod Studios These guys know how to connect with you about Boston sports. This may feel strong, but you people are stupid. OMG. It's Felgrimaz, 905, the Sports Hub.

Everybody, welcome to the program, Felger Maserati, coming to you on a Wednesday here from our Town Fair and Tire Studios in Dorchester.

We broadcast on the FM dial across the Boston demographic area and across New England

and the country on NBC Sports Boston.

That's the TV side.

The show today is Tim McCone in our update studio and Marshall Hook in the MAZ chair filling in for Big Jim Murray, who has Felger poisoning or food poisoning. What did he say? He said food poisoning. But let's be honest. Two days. Felger poisoning, actually. Felger poisoning. There's no question about it. Two days, he's like, that's enough for me. Whoops, my belly doesn't feel so good. So we're down to our third string, although hook, you're first in our hearts, as always. Thank you. All right. How are you doing? Okay. So let's do NBA stuff to start. And sort of crystallizing, really sort of crystallizing the Kimball Walker thing. And also just giving you the latest and your thoughts on the Kimber Walker thing. Jimmy likes hard opinions. I don't know if you've known this yet or have come to learn this. He wants hard opinions. Are you in or are you out on Kemble Walker? Hookland. Are you in or are you out for the Celtics? Kemba Walker on a max deal four years, 140. Is that the number? are you in or out on that deal for the Celtics? I am out. I think that's an overpay. I don't have a problem with the player at all. I think he'd be a fine player and a fine addition, but I don't think, A, that that's how you're going to win a championship. And B, I think Terry Rozier is just fine at half the price and that money can be spent elsewhere. Okay, so you are out. Tim McCone in our update studios known as McBone, huge, huge Yukon guy. I didn't go to Yukon, but it's been a Kukon fan his whole life, so he has some institutional knowledge in or out on Kembo Walker. Couldn't be more opposite from Kyrie in terms of the guy off the court.

Awesome dude.

Couldn't be more out in him being on the Celtics, though. You're out. No, don't want him. Why? You can't build around. I think we've seen this over the last few years. You can't build around an undersized point guard. You're going to give a point guard here. The deepest position in the NBA, by the way.

Max money moving forward.

He's going to turn 30 next May.

So really you're going to have this prime for two years. point guard here. The deepest position in the NBA, by the way, Max money moving forward.

He's going to turn 30 next May. So really you're going to have this prime for two years. I don't think that adds up. And you've got the young guys on the roster. Moving forward, you want to see Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown take that next step in bringing in another ball dominant point guard is not the way to develop those guys again. So no, I'm out on it.

And we've seen, again, you can win regular season games and you're going to win a lot of regular season games you bring in Kemba, but every single postseason, whether it's Isaiah Thomas or even Kyrie in that buck series, you can scheme against them in the postseason. So no, I'm out. So your analysis is more on the position and the type than the actual guy. Yes, 100%. Meaning you just don't want an undersized point guard taking up that salary and leading your team and they could be Kemper Walker or Little Isaiah Thomas or you don't want that guy. That's not who you invest in. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so that's what that is. I'm in on Kembo Walker. Okay. And I'll tell you why. And I, it's, to me, it's close.

I mean, I think Walker is a close call.

He's a close call.

Ultimately, here's why I'm in.

I'm beginning to worry a little bit about the perception of this Helix

across the league and the direction.

And they're standing among players in the league.

And what I mean by this is, boy, if they have Kyrie Irving walk out the door and bad mouth you on the way out the door, which you know he's doing behind the scenes. I mean, we just assume that, right? Yeah, he's badmouthing everything everywhere. Yes. Definitively the cell. Right. Definitely you're on the list, right? Okay. so now a marquee NBA star who guys do look up to, for better or worse,

you know young guys look up to Kyrie Irving.

For the shoe deals, the movie deals, all that stuff.
