This is the D.P. Atro and Rothenberg podcast.

Let the wild rumpets begin.

Listen live weekday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m. on 880 ESPN in New York, the ESPN New York app, and on YouTube, by subscribing to the ESPN New York YouTube channel.

This is D.P.8 Rowan and Rothenberg. The Knicks believe in this team. That could end up being an excellent assessment or that could end up being mistake. Even if you like this team, would you like it better with Yonnas? Do you believe this team is good enough to win four playoff series? If that answer is no, then you should probably look into this. And if you don't make the move now, he's going to get traded, and then they go out.

The Knicks with their words and actions, I don't think we're headed in that direction right now. Are you trying to win a championship, or are you trying to be a pretty good team? This is D.P.H. Owen, Rothernberg. The only thing more important than my morning coffee is D.P.H. on Rothenburg. I just want to put that out there.

On ESPN, New York.

And streaming live on YouTube. And then my morning coffee is DPH on Rothenburg. I just want to put that out there. On ESPN, New York.

And streaming live on YouTube.

All right, big 7 o'clock hour.

Nick's a hot topic until this trade deadline passes us by 3 o'clock on Thursday.

And then, of course, in ironic fashion, it's the Knicks and the Pistons on Friday night. Yes, followed up by the Knicks and Celtics. That's a nice little Sunday for you. That's a nice little Sunday. A little NFL pregame and then the Super Bowl? Yeah, I just don't feel like the Super Bowl has any juice right now for us.

It doesn't have any juice. Can we add some juice to it? I mean, what's the juice? I don't juice me up. I want to get fired up for Sunday. I want to get my menu prepared. I want to get excited. I don't think there is a lot of juice with this game. I want to give myself a reason to eat disgusting food. You can make yourself some delicious treats.

That's juicy.

What a mistake I made on Sunday, too, by the way. What did you do? Starving. What are we having? And, I mean, there's no football. So the reality is we should just eat normal, right? There's no reason to get crazy. Well, I thought it was all birthday celebrations. It was before. Like, everything else was like, we actually had Saturday night and then we had, because, and then we had Sunday planned. But I was like, what are we doing? It's lunchtime. And we need to eat something because we have too much time in between now and when we're going to eat dinner. And I had to, like, I get the stuff ready to make the cake and all the different things. And I was like, you know, it sounds good. Jersey mics, but I also could feel, I could

also be tempted to have a couple tacos also. What is wrong with you? I don't know. Not a great

combo. You ever think you might have, like, an actual problem? I think in the moment. Yeah.

I mean, you, I mean, like, hey, Jersey Mike's great idea. Or tacos. Great. might have a like an actual problem i think i'm in the moment yeah as i was eating i mean like hey jersey

mike's great idea or tacos great idea not hey let me get jersey mics and have tacos well that's

i felt like both and they just so happen to be close to each other so i was like you know what we can do

is order the tacos i'll pick up jersey mics mics. Tocos are ready. Boom,

we're good. Not a great idea. And how did it play out? Your stomach must have loved you for this.

It hated me. Yeah. It hated me. By the way, today's a very important anniversary.
