Good morning, everyone, happy Monday, and welcome to the Early Edge.

0:13.0

We are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary, a great show for you lined up today.

0:18.7

Some really cool things that happened over the weekend that we're just going to have to address.

0:22.0

I see everybody in the chat, Gippers picks, Pogo picks, DJ in the chat, Patty Boy in the chat.

0:27.5

Let's see how we did on the recap screen.

0:32.0

8, 7 and 1 overall.

0:33.6

Now, that includes my future, my series play on Sixers' Nix. We'll have to get word from Mikey B on his plus 150 future that he gave out a couple of weeks ago. I win my golf play. The sports line picks hit. Danny Brasco has a day. It goes two for two and the bonus picks go one for two. So three and four or three for four overall. Sniper goes one for two. Well, let's turn the page here. Eight, seven, and one is pretty good. We had a couple of plus money in there, but we're pretty much breaking even on a day like that. Let's try to do better. And we're going to try to do better with this crew here. Mikey B, like I said, Larry Hartstein, Tom Casale, A, Mags. Mikey B, you got a lot of things you could respond to here. The Knicks just absolutely mopping the floor with the Sixers, the NBA draft lottery yesterday, Wemby getting elbow happy. How do you want to start this thing? Yeah, the Knicks really crushed the 76ers, the Joe L.N. Bid's storyline of him coming back and helping them beat the Celtics kind of died off quickly.

1:28.6

The Wembe elbow, you know, he was mad and he decided to throw the big Wembe elbow there.

1:35.1

And then the most important storyline, who cares about the playoffs?

1:38.5

The Chicago Bulls move up to the fourth pick in the NBA draft.

1:43.5

They got fourth. They've got 15th. They have two second round picks. The Bulls are back in Pogo picks. I know you're in the chat there. Last time the Bulls had the fourth pick, they picked Patrick Williams. That will not happen again. That was the bad front office. Clean the slate here. We're going to be, it's fun to be a Bulls fan again.

2:20.2

Larry, we're going to get into picks soon. Amags is going to kick us off with MLB picks, but I do want to stay on the NBA for a second. I don't know if you want to respond to any of those storylines or any other storylines as we have a couple of NBA games tonight. I'm a Wizards fan, and I said when they got A.D. and Tray Young that they were going to be good. And it wasn't because of those two guys.

2:18.2

It was because of their young core that not a lot of people are talking about will now add potentially AJ DeBonson to that young core. This Wizards team is kind of a force, isn't it? It is. But see, I am so fired up about the Wemby situation that I just have to address that right off the top. I mean, for Mitch Johnson to come out and say, I'm glad he took matters into his own hands. Oh, yeah, I'm also, it's good that Nas read is not hurt. The market expecting him to not be suspended. I mean, we're looking at nine and a half all the way to 10 and a half for game five,

2:51.6

the spread. I mean, that was intentional. It was deliberate. I know he doesn't have a history like

2:57.1

Ron Arte's did when he got his seven game suspension, but that was vicious. That has to be a

3:02.9

suspension. He should not be out there for game five. I haven't heard an apology. I haven't heard, you know, I snapped. They were beating up on me all game. I shouldn't have done it. I won't. I'll try to, you know, I haven't heard anything like that. I've heard, I'm glad he took matters into his own hands. That was dangerous. I mean, he got suspended for almost the entirety of a game, right? He got kicked out.

3:24.3

I don't think they're going to give him another game onto Tom.

3:27.7

Old school, elbow, no big deal, right?

3:30.0

Come on.

3:31.5

That's exactly what I was just thinking.

3:33.6

I mean, when Charles Oakley's your favorite NBA player ever, then that's kind of nothing.

3:40.0

But I'll say this, Larry, I hate the, I apologize,
