I'm not going to lie to you, I love the chaos of today. I've done a few NBA free agency

0:19.7

specials at my previous network, Ken, where it's just breaking news after breaking news

0:23.8

and you're just kind of scrolling through Twitter and texting with people and getting

0:26.9

reports and just trying to catch up and I'm no woj by any stretch, but you know, I talked

0:31.2

to some people and try to get a little bit of this information. This is the utter chaos

saying like we've had no contact because there was all the Kyrie rumors before the bigger

1:24.8

issue about, you know, whether they were going to sign them into a long term deal or not

1:28.2

the impasse that broke last week. And this is just it's spiraled out of control. Think

1:32.7

about this too, Ken. Remember, it was only a few years ago that the nets traded for Kevin

1:37.6
