I do not think, I do not think. So what are you getting this? Even listen to yourself when you talk. Hey, hey, we're live. Woo-hoo! Turn off your radio before it's too late. Hate it, hated, hated, hated, hated. I told you this was a bad idea. Felger and Mass, 985, the Sports Hub. Okay, here's the other piece of Chris Mannix sound I wanted to play from last night on CSN,

0:22.2

and it's about the future and who stays and who goes and who has value.

0:26.2

This one sort of blew me away, as you'll hear.

0:29.3

Go ahead.

0:29.5

Is there value for Isaiah and Bradley in a package?

0:32.4

Bradley, I think there's, you know, in this hypothetical, Bradley has more value.

0:35.5

Both these guys in the last year of their contracts, they've got less valid and they would if they had a couple of years left. But Bradley's the type of guy that you could slide him into any team. Bradley has more value than Isaiah Thomas? Right in a trade? Yes, because you can slide Bradley. What? You can slide, hold on, you can slide Bradley into any team, any situation, and he can play. What we've seen with Isaiah, he can score with anybody,

0:55.6

but you build your offense around Isaiah Thomas.

0:58.3

Bradley is more pliable, I guess the right word.

1:00.4

I mean, you know more than I.

1:01.3

That just stuns me that the third leading score in the NBA, you know,

1:05.7

doesn't have more value to this team, but in a trade in this scenario

1:08.6

with both guys entering the last years of their contracts, Bradley will come a little bit cheaper on another deal. In that context, you can put him in. Look, I love Isaiah what he's done, but let's not forget, before Avery Bradley got hurt, he was on a path to become an all-star. He was averaging 20 points, and he was the best defensive two-guard in the NBA. Bradley's always hurt. If I were a team acquiring Bradley, I'd look at He's always banged up. I agree, but I think you have to look at the other side of Isaiah, too, and that Brad, Brad Stevens, he built this offense around him. Does a team want to acquire Isaiah for one year and build an offense around him? That I'm not so sure. Why not? Does it win anything yet? Let's see if it wins some. I don't know. It depends on the team that's trying to acquire him. If this is a rebuilding team and you say, Isaiah Thomas, we're going to build around you, yeah, that makes some sense.

1:47.3

But if you're It depends on the team that's trying to acquire him. If this is a rebuilding team and you say Isaiah Thomas, we're going to build around you,

1:46.3

yeah, that makes some sense.

1:47.3

But if you're a team on the cusp of winning a championship, it would rather than a type of player that could put you over the top. Okay. Yeah. What do I know? Exactly. What do I know? Jimmy Stewart's been telling us this all year.

1:57.0

Go ahead, Jimmy.

1:57.9

Hi.

1:58.6

Just nice that Chris Mannix agrees with me.

2:00.7

Jimmy's been saying it all year.

2:01.7

See, but I think Mannix is manipulating the question there. Like, if you're a team on the cusp of winning a championship, well, fine. What if you're trying to build something? Right. Bradley's a better role piece for a contending team because he's on both sides of the floor and can come off the bench. You can shit. Like, I mean, I understand why he's a good role player for someone. But in terms of, I don't know, you're building from the ground up and you need a guy? No, it's Isaiah. It's Isaiah. You go Isaiah first. Just look, it's hard to find guys who can score against good defense. And, you know, Isaiah has limitations, too. Don't get me wrong, but Bradley?

2:52.8

Bradley was invisible last night. Yeah, but I would say this is that look at how Brad plays with Thomas on the floor. He spreads everybody out, clears out the big so that Thomas can either set up for a pick and roll or take it right to the lane. So what's wrong with that? That's why Thomas is scoring as much as he is. Yeah, but Thomas still is to finish and make the shots, Jimmy.
