On 985, the Sports Hub.

Cleveland had a seven-point lead here in the fourth, but Golden State stays perfect.

Last three. as the Warriors take a 3-0 lead in these finals.

Last three minutes and 10 seconds, 11-0 run for Golden State.

0:36.4

Okay, choke job by LeBron and the Cavs.

0:54.8

Sorry, that's what that was. Danny in Somerville. Go ahead, Danny. What do you got? How you doing, guys? Good, go ahead. I'm talking. First of all, I want to take credit for the Hey, Felga, because you're just saying about the sports hub property. I saw you in the back bay with your family and I yelled out the window,

1:03.4

Hey, Fowga, you looked and winked and went on your way. But I'm talking about LeBron carrying the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I'm kind of saying that he's sort of like Will Chamberlain. He's kind of like Will Chamberlain. He's closer to Will Chamberlain and Jerry West than he is Michael Jordan. Jerry West, I think, was 1 in 8 in the finals. Is that right? I think he was. Yeah, look at it. Google. Do a quick Google. Jerry West was something like that, and Wilt won one, right? And went to a million. I bet Will's something similar. One in five in the five. I don't know. I just made that up.

1:31.2

But I think wilt one one jerry west won one Jerry west was one and eight in the finals so I'm sorry you know you can say you have you didn't have the better team some of those times so lebron's three and five finals record I don't hold that him. I don't hold the complete 3 and 5, right? Like, it's hard to blame him for his first trip with the Cavs and 2 years ago with the calves when Love and Kyrie Irving were hurt, right? So if you want to say he's 3 and 3 in series that he could have won, okay, 3 and. That's still ain't so hot. Well, what about

2:00.8

the Miami years? That's what I'm saying? He deserves blame for both of those Miami years. And this one, you know, what's the excuse for getting his ass swept? I just feel like with LeBron, it's always, it's always an excuse. The LeBron people always, you know, there's always an excuse. You know, again, well, he didn't have this. He didn't have that. Golden State's an all-time team.

2:18.9

So you can always find some sort of

2:20.8

way to soften it with LeBron, but the reality is that in his career, he's gone to the finals eight times and he's lost 63% of the time. Did you get those numbers for me, worry? No, I didn't. Oh, I thought you did. I thought you were looking back. Here's Greg in Maine on David Price. Go ahead, Greg. You're regarding Price in your discussion.

2:37.6

It's... No, I didn't. Oh, I thought you did. I thought you were looking back. Here's Greg in Maine on David Price. Go ahead, Greg.

2:34.8

Regarding Price in your discussion, he is so unhappy here.

2:40.3

A complex high-maintenance situation is a drain on any organization.

2:44.1

Why not approach his agent and himself and negotiate moving his opt-out up a year?

2:49.6

He would have done what the union wanted in taking the highest offer. He'd be a year younger enhancing his chance to land another mega deal. So great. The socks would have $150 million to play with. Let me stop you. I think it's a brilliant idea. I doubt you can do it. Football is the only league where you can rip up a contract and do that. football you can rip up a contract at any time and rewrite the rules and rewrite the terms. And that's why football, that's why the salary cap is a joke because the contracts are a joke. In every other sport, once a figure on a contract is guaranteed, it's guaranteed you can't alter it. So I don't know this for a fact, but I would just assume that you're not allowed to rewrite a contract and change an option year. Yeah, even if both sides agree to it. You can't do it. There's got to be a, you know, look, they ran into some of this with A-Rod. There's always a mechanism there where somehow you get to make everybody whole. And in that case, I don't think you can because you're taking away guaranteed dollars. You can trade them if he wants out that bad. Correct. I'm sure he has a no trade or even if whatever. You can trade him and the $31 million a year is ridiculous except the team trading form. It would be what would amount to a rental except unless he decides to opt in, then you're on the hook for the rest of that contract.

4:16.1

He needs to opt out. The first thing he needs to do is pitch well. Right, exactly. If he pitches well, he will opt out because everyone who's had one of those clauses has opted out. Every one. It's like nine for nine in the history of the league and the history of those contracts. So the only reason he would opt in is if he's really banged up. So if he stays healthy, he's going to opt out.
