| 0:00.0 | All right. Last to get to here, we got to talk about LeBron's debut in Portland, where |
| 0:05.4 | the Lakers seem like they never win and that has continued. But first, let's get to |
| 0:10.5 | a little news. What we got? |
| 0:11.5 | Well, so it happened a couple of days ago now. I believe it was on Wednesday morning that |
| 0:16.6 | Mike Malone got an extension from the Denver Nuggets, a two-year contract extension. |
| 0:22.3 | Apparently they were concerned about the potentiality of him being a lame duck. |
| 0:26.7 | So he expired at the end of this year? |
| 0:29.1 | I'm not sure. Coaching contracts because there isn't necessarily a sport track or whatever |
| 0:34.0 | for it. I'm not off the top of my head. I'm not entirely sure. |
| 0:36.3 | Well, so usually it's a four minus one, right? So when was his first year? I want to |

| 1:04.7 | interested in paying a coach. So yeah, maybe this is just all right. So he's not in the |
| 1:09.7 | lame duck year. But when they talk about the extension, I thought it was going to be three |
| 1:13.9 | years, four years or something, which seemed kind of crazy to me. But this is a little |
| 1:17.8 | bit more reasonable if you subscribe to the idea that you should never have a lame duck |
| 1:21.6 | coach, which I don't necessarily. But this is a decent head. |
| 1:25.3 | I mean, it's a hedge. My concern with it is that the nuggets by virtue of the other |
| 1:31.1 | moves they made. And overall, you know, the bigger scale stuff, Yokech, I have no problem |
