By the way, Cooper Flagg had his opening prep conference in Dallas. His sharp kid. I went to Duke. So here's Cooper Flag on how Duke got him ready for the NBA. Being able to go to Duke and be under that spotlight, it's kind of a good preparation. And then even nowadays with NIL ERA and stuff like that, college kids are kind of under a bigger microscope than ever. So I think it's a great preparation, honestly, for me to kind of come to the next level. And I've had a year to kind of deal with a lot of that stuff in the media and all that, that different stuff. So I think it's just great for me to kind of have that year of preparation. I mean, he should be in high school, just, just graduating high school. Here's Jason Kidd on his new star.
Jason McIntyre
Just sitting here listening to him. Is it incredible? I mean, we're talking about an 18.
Colin Cowherd
Year old who has all the right answers and is talking about working out after this. But you know, when you talk about his gift, he's a basketball player and he's a winner.
Jason McIntyre
And I thought he answered the question.
Colin Cowherd
About position perfectly because I don't look at the position. You know, I want to put him.
Jason McIntyre
In the at the point guard.
Colin Cowherd
I want to make him uncomfortable and see how he reacts being able to run the show. Cooper Flag, point guard, Dallas Mavericks Learn it, live it, love it. It's coming. Point guard, Cooper Flag. That's exciting. J. Mac with the news.
Chris Broussard
Oh no heard on the news. This is the Herd line news.
Jason McIntyre
Learn it, live it, love it. Is that Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Is that where you got that from? Gosh, that's a great movie. Also, Cooper Flag coming up at the end of the show in headlines. Him, his point guard is not the headline. Let's get started. Colin with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yesterday they made a big announcement that they signed coach Todd Bowles and GM Jason Light. Your guy, two multi Year extensions. Listen, Bowles has won the NFC south three straight years. He's done a great job since taking over for Bruce Arians. Light is the NFL's fifth longest tenured GM entering his 12th season in Tampa. I don't know, Bucks just keep doing it. Look at, look at this stat. This is kind of wild. Longest active playoff streaks. Casey obviously. Buffalo, obviously. And then Tampa Bay. What?
Colin Cowherd
Well, they have a great gm, so their talent is above average. And they've had Baker Mayfield and Tom Brady. So I mean the quarterback, if you have a good roster and above average quarterback play in a bad division, you're making the playoffs. I mean, I think it's pretty simple. And the gm, you know, I love their gm. So they've had the best quarterback arguably in the that division for about five years running. And they've always got good rosters. Yeah, I mean they've always got dudes since you go back to the, you know, trend dill for days on and maybe that's too early, but they've had, they've had good players for 20 years. They could never get quarterback right. They could never get quarterback right. Finally they get Brady into Baker now because they've always had good players. Now they got quarterback right. In a weak division. So I always feel, at least since Jason Lights gotten there, I don't want to say forever because they, they were, they had lean, but when I covered him for a couple years, they probably didn't have enough talent. But I would say since Jason Light became the gm, this is always an above average roster.
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, I think you hit on something. The division being weak. I mean, the Saints can't get out of their own way. We know the Panthers have no clue. Like, you know, and Atlanta Falcons are up and down, front office a mess. They, they don't want Belichick, you know, like it's just been a mess. And Tampa Bay has been consistent and consistently good since Bulls took over for Arians. I like it. Let's move on to the NBA. Colin, where the Brook Nets had a curious draft strategy. They became the first team in the history of basketball to draft five players in the first round. Colin. Four of them were guards. Now Brian Winhore says executive agents have been sending him messages to make fun of what the net strategy is. I would like to think there's a method to the madness here. And I like Demin a lot, the kid from byu. People love Drake Powell's defense. You know, I don't see any home runs here. Colin.
Colin Cowherd
In the end, in the end, because I Mean, I just think once you get down to the 22nd, 26, 27 pick, aren't you just taking the best guy on the board from your scouting department? And if it happens to be guards, I mean, again, this is not the NFL where you know you're going to get starters in the second round and you're going to get eventual starters in the third. I mean, by the time you get to the 22nd and the 26 pick. Let me defend Brooklyn. And maybe it's just ridiculous, but I'm. There's just. You just want the best guy on the board that can make the team. To me now, NFL draft is different. I've said this before. In the NFL, I will reach on players, knowing later in the draft I can fill holes. If I need a quarterback, I'm going to reach for it. Like, I'm just going. If I need an edge rusher, I'll reach in a guy, you know, 12 picks beyond my scouting department because I know I can solve other holes in the second, third, fourth round, maybe not the fifth, but the second, third, fourth. NBA, go look at history. After the 14th, 15th pick, it's just, it's a dice roll. They're 18. You don't, you don't know how they develop.
Jason McIntyre
I mean, there's only five starters. You know, NFL has 11 on offense, 11 defense. Every year there's like four starting spots open on teams. But I'm looking at the Nets payroll, and if you're wondering how are they going to have five guys make the team, they've got so many contracts coming off the books, and the Nets are going to have a lot of money in free agency next year. Colin. So I don't know if Brooklyn's attractive. It was once for Kyrie, KD and James Harden, but they have a big uphill climb. They're going to be a bad team next year, like 20, 25 wins, max. And that's good, good news for my Knicks. Final story, let's go to baseball, where Shohei Ohtani is going to make his first road start for the Dodgers. Since returning to the mound earlier this month, Ohtani's had two home starts, and that means he's able to warm up before pitching. However, this time there's a bit of a wrinkle. Shohei will lead off the game and then have to get ready for warmups. So there are Dodgers fans kind of speculating, well, what if he's on second base when the out happens? Like, how's the warmup going to happen there? This is where we are with the Dodgers, who are up five and a half games in the NL West. Luckily, they face the Kansas City Royals, who are something of a dumpster fire. But I don't know. What do you make of Ohtani going on the road?
Colin Cowherd
I don't really think it matters where he plays. I think he's pretty good. Yeah. I just think it's just. I know baseball loves its history, but folks, better than Babe. Not particularly close. I mean, the kid's unbelievable. And his temperament is as impressive. He's got the perfect temperament.
Jason McIntyre
Yes.
Colin Cowherd
You can screw your legs life up a lot when you get the kind of money and fame he's received. We've seen it in Hollywood for years, the child actor thing, you give young people that kind of money and fame, things go sideways fast. Like, he is just. I mean, there was that. That whole gambling thing where they found out like, his interpreter was a bad guy and a felon. You know, everybody's like tying Ohtani to. It's like, no, no, it's not. It's. It's when you got 13 banks account, bank account, some overseas, and you got that kind of money pouring in. Young people are not accountants and CPAs. Like, yeah, he's handled it.
Jason McIntyre
Two quick things on Ohtani. One, it seems like they want him to pitch this postseason. Like they're. They're starting to get him ramped up. I'm surprised at that, but I don't know your thoughts. Are we going to see Ohtani, like, game two of the NLCS or something?
Colin Cowherd
Absolutely. I mean, if he, if he now. I mean, now again, not ideally, but the Dodgers have the kind of payroll where they went and found pitchers. Good pitchers. Yeah, but who had injury history. So the Dodgers aren't the Royals, where if you go pay money for a pitcher, he's got to give you like 27 starts or he's got to be there. The Dodgers can roll the dice, right? Like on pitchers. Like, okay, we like last now from Tampa, but he's had injuries. But could he be available for two big moments in the postseason? For the Dodgers, that's worth it with their payroll. So they've got some pitchers with injury history, but they're all about September, October.
Jason McIntyre
And real quick, the other thing on Ohtani, so when he got hit by the Padres and it was benches clearing. So historically there's a video on the online that's awesome about this. Historically, you get hit, you're pointing at the other team, you're putting your arms up, you're gesturing like, what the hell I'm ready to go. Ohtani in this video put his hands behind his back and just casually walked over to the dugout, speaking peacefully in a peaceful manner. That's how men should operate, right? I know baseball. You get heated, you get fired up. Ohtani just casually went over, hey, guys, it's all good. What's up? And I just love that, that like, I know people are like young men now are struggling to find role models and what is a man? Yeah, you guys need to look at Ohtani. That is a man. Like, he does not get fired up. He's very chill. He's looking to diffuse the situation, plays through injuries.
Colin Cowherd
One of the first signs you're still a child, even if you're 40, is constant eruptions. Like, like part of being a man is being a grown up. Like, you know, being an adult, having coping skills, not getting to fights at the local bar. Like that's one of the signs you're a 42 year old kid.
Jason McIntyre
Yeah. You know what a man is? Being a peacemaker, not getting in fights, breaking them up.
Colin Cowherd
I don't know.
Jason McIntyre
That's a man.
Colin Cowherd
You start a lot of fires on this show. It should be noted.
Jason McIntyre
Well, arguments and discussions, but I'm not getting in fights. I've been in a fight. That guy came at me recently. You know, I'm not doing that. I'm an adult. Come on.
Colin Cowherd
That's right. J. Mac with the news. Well, that's the news.
Jason McIntyre
And thanks for stopping by the Herd lie news.
Colin Cowherd
Chris Broussard. First things first. We kind of wrap up a lot of our NBA coverage here after free agency, but I want to bring him in. I was talking about this earlier. Austin Reeves is fascinating. So the Lakers offer him like, you know, four years, 89 million, which I think I would pay that. I'd pay him 22 million a year for four years with a new TV contract, that would be good. But he declined it because he wants to get 45 million or up in a year from either the market or the Lakers. And this is my take. Nothing takes you out of the championship window in the NBA and NFL like paying B players A money. Cowboys and Dak Prescott, you're out of the championship window. Austin Reeves, I'd go to 24 million a year. My take on the Lakers is if you don't make a move in one year, you're either paying him 48 or somebody else is paying him 43. You got to get ahead of this thing and not be the Cowboys. Am I out of touch? Do you think he'd get 45 million large annually.
Chris Broussard
Well, you are right in that to have Luka LeBron and Austin making max money and close to max money for him is untenable, especially when you look at the rest of the pieces for the Lakers. So that would be tough for them. But I do agree, I do think next year let's assume he has a season like he had last year. We was 20 points, almost six assists a game. He'll get, he will get big money on the market. Like he will leave the Lakers for big money elsewhere. Unless LeBron retires after this season and then the Lakers, he could be the Lakers second guy. But Austin Reeves, as much as I like him as the second guy on the championship team, I don't think that's the case. So. So it's going to be interesting. Here's the thing as far as you talk about getting out in front of it because I do agree if I'm the Lakers and we all know they need a center, I am listening to offers for Austin Reaves. I'm seeing what I could get with Austin Reaves. Here's the problem because he only has one year left on his deal and could be, you know, a team could trade for him and then he could walk after a year and they just gave away some assets for a player for one year. So that's the challenge. Like Austin's value on the market because of the contract isn't quite as much as his production. So look, I would explore it, but I don't know that they're going to be able to get anything great for it.

Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up to them is the right thing to do. So you know Degree Cool Rush deodorant, right? Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with their fans. So Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring the original formula back. One guy even started an online petition and Degree listened. They admitted they effed up. They're bringing back the original Cool Rush scent. They're bringing it back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. There's a reason it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you've never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about.

Okay, Celtics have moved off Drew Holiday. They've moved off Porzingis and it saved them 200 plus million dollars. We saw it coming. Brad Stevens the minute the season's over. Boom boom. He made two moves. There are rumors about Derrick White being moved. There are rumors. Jaylen Brown to Miami. What's your intel? Are they done making moves or they would Jason Tatum out Are they going to do a total reboot?
Chris Broussard
No, I think they're. I don't think those two are moving, let's put it that way. There could be some smaller moves and look as good as Derrick White and Jaylen Brown are. I'm listening. They're not untouchable. Right. So I'm listening. But I don't think they'll get moved because remember, in a year when Jayson Tatum comes back, the Celtics are going to be right there near the top of the Eastern Conference again. So you want to keep some of these players. I think they were smart to get rid of the money they're not going to win the championship next year. Smart to get that $200 million savings from the luxury tax. But it'll I think Colin, with the players they've had and I know it's a little bit of a downgrade but I like Anthony Simons. He may only be there a year but he can shoot the three. He can get to the basket. Right. He will fit that what they do now he doesn't defend but I think he'll have to at least put forth effort on that end to get on the floor for Missoula. So I think he'll improve in that regard. And so I think in the Eastern Conference with all the injuries they I think they still will fight fight for a fourth seed in the Eastern Conference for home court advantage in the first. They were 8 and 2 without Jason Tatum last year.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, I know. And when I mentioned that lot of heat when I suggested they're fine without Jason Tatum over the course of his season. They're not as good but they're fine. And I agree with you.
Chris Broussard
Right.
Colin Cowherd
I think they'll be. I think they'll vie for the Eastern Conference finals. Not sure they'll get there but Simons can hoop can hit shots. Okay.
Chris Broussard
Yep.
Colin Cowherd
So I don't buy into this J. I've said this. I don't buy into Jason Kidd wants the Knicks job. I'm watching him today go on and on about Cooper flag. He's I got AD Cooper flag. Kyrie's going to sign a long term deal and a great front line. The Knicks two best offensive players don't play well together. I don't get it. Forget the no state tax, better winter weather. I don't think Jason Kidd said I wouldn't take the Knicks job. But what say you? What are you hearing?
Chris Broussard
Well, one, I don't think Dallas will let him, you know, go to the Knicks number one and I do think he likes this situation in Dallas, how could you not? But Colin and the Mavericks are I think probably better than the Knicks when they're fully healthy. But when you look at the question mark, if I was Jason Kidd and I had my choice, I would go to New York because here's why. New York's players are generally healthier. The problem with the Mavericks is that Anthony Davis, as great as he is, we all know that we are concerned. Can we guarantee he's going to be healthy late next season and going into the playoffs? Kyrie irving will be 34 when next year's playoffs start. He's coming back in January or February from an ACL injury. I thought it was smart to sign him. I'm just saying these are question marks. And Kyrie was injury prone to begin with, so now he's older, still injury prone. Same thing with A.D. so I just. If that team, Colin in Dallas, if it's fully healthy, if you could promise me Anthony Davis will be fully healthy going into the playoffs. Cooper Flag, I think is going to be good about 18 points, six rebounds, five assists, something like that as a rookie. And if you could promise me Kyrie will be back to top level form for him going into the playoffs, I would give Dallas a chance to win it all. But I just. That's a big if with all of those situations with Kyrie and AD so the Knicks on the other hand, obviously a far weaker conference. That and injuries galore all over the place. So I think the Knicks have a better chance of playing in the finals than the Mavericks do next season.
Colin Cowherd
Chris Broussard, Bruce going to be on first things first at the top of next hour. Oh, by the way, just one thought. The Ace Bailey thing. My argument all day has been good kids, no guidance, where are the adults? Are you shocked at by the way his agent is not certified by the NBA? Are you shocked it's got a shadow or Sanders feeling a little like you're like guys work out for teams. Be grateful. This is an amazing opportunity. Have you ever seen anything quite like it?
Chris Broussard
Yeah, I mean this is just a situation. Colin, like you said, bad advice. And I don't put this all on Ace Bailey. He's a young kid, right? He's got to listen to somebody. But go get a real agent. That's what you should have done. Like he is getting horrific advice. I actually think and I don't know is Utah the one team he didn't want to play for? We're not sure of that in the top five. But Utah, Colin I think is the best situ. That's a better situation than the three places he wanted to go, which was Brooklyn, New Orleans or Washington. He's a really good coach in Will Hardy, obviously. Danny Ainge can build a winning culture and franchise and he will have the ball in his hands to do whatever he wants. So he's got the freedom. So I think he's getting horrible advice. I hope he's going to be on a plane to Utah to meet with the team and, you know, be with the team on Monday. If he's not, look, they have the leverage, all right? They're going to tender him a contract. He's not going to be able to go anywhere else. So. So I just think he's getting bad advice and he really needs new representation, to be honest.
Colin Cowherd
Yep. Chris Broussard, Good seeing you Brew.
Chris Broussard
Yep, you too.

And you know, you used to create headlines, but back then you were doing it for clicks and relevance. Now, now you're doing it for accuracy. It's more authentic. And I really like this segment. Are you ready to go?
Jason McIntyre
Do you remember what happened last week? We called Kevin Durant to the Rockets for basically nothing and then it happened two days later.
Colin Cowherd
It's what we do. Yeah, a couple of professionals.
Jason McIntyre
Nbd. It's no big deal.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, I know that. Tomorrow's headlines today, what's the headline going to be for Cooper Flag and the Dallas Mavericks?
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, you know, I had this cooked up yesterday, pitched it to this team and then I see this interview where they're talking about Cooper Flag as point guard. I'm like, ooh, not great. The headline for Cooper Flag will be the sixth man since Flag performs bench roll with playoff. I do have Dallas in the playoffs like Broussard does, but I have Cooper Flag starting out as a six man. I know that's going to irk you, but I'm of the belief they'll go Max Christie and Klay Thompson in the backcourt. P.J. washington at small forward. Hear me out. And then AD in one of the centers. So P.J. washington, his contract is almost up. If they can showcase him next to AD looking good, they then flip him at the deadline. Insert Cooper Flag as the starter around February as opposed to rushing in a 19 year old. As a starter like you, you don't want to damage him that early. You know, you could kill the confidence. Like I think they slow play this. And he's going to be great coming off the bench because Cooper Flag against backups around the league, he's gonna eat well.
Colin Cowherd
And also I, I've always had this theory that you, when you go to college to pro, it's not that you double the games, the pace is faster. I told you this with Chet Holmgren. I wouldn't play rookies like more than 55, 60 games. I mean, you go from 36 in the college pace to 82 in the NBA pace. You have to defend in the NBA. Like I, I would never play, I would never play like a rookie. 80 games. I really wouldn't. I would. I. The body needs a year to transition. Tomorrow's headlines today, draft is over. What's going to be the headline for the rookie of the year.
Jason McIntyre
So just before everybody runs to Vegas, you know, holiday weekend coming up and wants to put all this money on Cooper flag to win rookie of the year. Just, just a thought. The headline will be here comes the trable. Johnson becomes NBA's newest problem. I like Trey Johnson going to Washington. Colin. One thing that a lot of people missed, Jordan Poole got shipped. He's gone and you know he would soak up a lot of the offense and shots and they have an interesting team. I'm higher on Washington over like a three year span. So they traded out kind of, you know, the crazy Jordan pool and some other guys and they bring in veterans for the locker room presence. Chris Middleton, Marcus Smart, CJ McCollum, Malcolm Brogdon, they've got vet but what they don't have is like a reliable score. Trey Johnson comes from Texas. This guy had eight games of 25 or more points with the Longhorns last year. 39% three point shooter. I think he's going to get buckets now. They're not going to be great next year because their other guys just aren't awesome yet. But Washington is clearing cap space and I'm just telling you, this kid Johnson, he's a bucket. I lean heavily on Fran Frischilla who you know from the old place. He, he knows college hoops more than anybody and he's been hyping this guy to me and I'm like, I'm a believer. Trey Johnson rookie I don't, I mean.
Colin Cowherd
I don't know if their games are similar, but you know, never forget when Trey Young came in from Oklahoma to the NBA, it was like scores scored every level. Now they, he may have flaws and size issues and power, but like if you can score AAU and you can score in college, some guys just are bucket guys.
Jason McIntyre
Yeah.
Colin Cowherd
And this may be one of those kids. Tomorrow's headlines today, what's going to be the headline for the NBA team with a big biggest drop.
Jason McIntyre
So you know, we're doing biggest rise, biggest drop. And this was a tough one because you look around, I'm like, I, I don't think I can go Celtics. I don't think they're going to drop far. I'm with Broussard. I think the Pacers are still good enough. They're not going to like fall out of the playoffs. So where do you go, Colin? The headline will be ant I climactic wolves clout gets chased off a cliff and I listen, I like ant we Love their coach. I do think something's going on in Minnesota. We don't know what's up with Randall. Obviously the Nas Reed situation is big. You have to keep him. Right. There's a lot of Rudy Gobert trade chatter and then you've got the kid Alexander Walker who was like their seventh guy and he was really good coming off the bench. If you all of a sudden strip out two of those guys, what's going on with Dallas? Now they got Rob Dillingham who I like, but he wasn't ready to play yet last year. And I just wonder the way Ant talks so much trash after beating the Lakers and then to just get dusted so bad by okc. They did get lucky that Steph Curry missed that series because the warriors won game one, remember? So, like I just feel like Minnesota could pull back a little. And the west one through 12, Colin is absolutely stacked. It's loaded. So I think Minnesota is a play in team. I'm sorry.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, no, I don't think it's crazy. I do love the GM and the coach. All right, tomorrow's headlines. Today, what's going to be the headline for the team with the biggest leap?
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, this one I don't think is difficult. Obviously forget the west. You got to look to the East. The headline will be Flora Tada Magic pulls Conference Finals out of hat. I've got Orlando making the leap. I think you're with me. This Desmond Bain move is huge. Now I also look Colin. So at one point they were fourth in the east in late December like they were playing great. And then Jalen Suggs gets hurt and Paolo Banchero goes down. Ben Caro missed 30 or more games. Suggs over 40 games. Franz Wagner missed over 20 games. Like that's unsustainable. So they struggled a little bit. I love the Desmond Bain edition. Bane Suggs backcourt is going to be very formidable in a weekend east. You and I like Paolo Banquero. He might be like an all NBA second team guy. Yes, he's very good. Franz Wagner, excellent. I like what Orlando's cooking. I have them in the conference finals for now against my Knicks.
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, the. You know, years ago I worked in Tampa and I became a Magic fan because I would. They had Shaq and Penny and Nick Anderson. So I went to a lot of Magic games. It's a really good basketball community. They love their hoops and I always thought it was a great place. If I was a free agent, I would absolutely consider it. It's good to see them good Again, they're fun. They got an interesting history. But last year they played the Celtics in the playoffs. And you and I kept asking, why are these games so close?
Jason McIntyre
Yeah.
Colin Cowherd
Remember, there were two or three were like, should be winning these games. Detroit and the Knicks, Orlando, Boston. The NBA allowed physicality. And we were like, wow, Orlando is like a year ahead of where they should be. Now they add Bain. I totally agree. Tomorrow's headlines today, what will the headline be for NBA free agency?
Jason McIntyre
All right, Colin, the crystal ball's a little fuzzy right now. Channeling your British accent. Listen, this is a tough one because you're looking for, like, a splashy move. So all week we hear, well, Jaylen Brown, there's rumors. Jaylen Brown, could he be moved? They already moved Porzingis. They already moved Jrue Holiday. Who's next? Here's a hot take, Colin. The headline for the Celtics will be Kawhi not Clips. Trade short term stud for long term plan. How's this? Kawhi Leonard to Boston. Jalen Brown to the Paperclips. The Clippers are at that transitional moment. They've got the new stadium. Kawhi Leonard, is he going to play? Is he not? What's up with James Harden's future? Norm Powell wants to break the bank. They need a star in that building. I do believe Jaylen Brown's a star. I think you'd agree with me, right? I mean, he was excellent.
Colin Cowherd
He plays on both ends and he plays every night.
Jason McIntyre
And most importantly, he's locked up for a long time in his prime. I think the Clippers make a big move and go for him. And listen, if you're out Jason Tatum for the season, why not rent Kawhi Leonard? You only need him for two years, right? Tatum and him could maybe be formidable in two years. It's a long shot, but I do think Jaylen Brown, all that chatter, it's just too much noise for me. I'm sending him to the Clippers.
Colin Cowherd
Well, I'll tell you, that's a take. I, I don't know.
Jason McIntyre
He played collegiately at Cal. He likes it out here.
Colin Cowherd
No, I think Jalen Brown would, would come out west in a second. Kawhi may retire. All right, finally, tomorrow's headlines. Today, what's the headline for Katie now? He's a Houston Rocket.
Jason McIntyre
Yeah, I, I, you know, I kind of missed your take on this. KD and the Rockets are gonna be good. Are they gonna be great? Can they dethrone okc? How about this one? The headline will be Sagoons and Roses H Town and Tinseltown equal Paradise City. Colin, how's this? Your Western Conference finals next year. KD against LeBron, Rockets Lakers. Sorry, sorry, OKC. You're not making it. I really like this KD move, Colin. If you look at the young guys on Houston who were good, they didn't give up one of their top five young players. They kept Jabari, Smith, they kept Reid, obviously. Shen, Goon, Ahmed, they kept everyone. And now you add KD to that mix with a coach we both love in Udoka, I think the sky's the limit for the Rockets, who were already the 2 seed last year. I think they can easily get in the conference finals. And I know you're out on the Lakers. I get it. Let's see what happens here in the coming weeks. I trust Pelinka, who may be on the hot seat. I don't know. So I've got Rockets Lakers in the conference finals next year. Is that hot enough for you?
Colin Cowherd
Rockets? I have no problem with I Apparently you have SGA leaving or not wanting to play. Homegren not getting better and J Dub stinking. I would say okay sees in the finals against Houston and I don't hate.
Jason McIntyre
That they're going to win 60 games again.
Colin Cowherd
But I will also say this. If Kyrie comes back and plays next year, even if it's the last 15 games of the regular season, it's. It's okay. See in Dallas do I like. I like Dallas. I got Jason Kidd, that front line, Cooper Flag, Max Crispy's underrated, Max Christie. And if Kyrie comes back, I need finishers in the playoffs. He's not going to come back in the first half. If he came back plays 15 regular season games then ramps up.
Jason McIntyre
So let me you know Kyrie and Klay Thompson is a back court. Are they guarding anybody? I don't.
Colin Cowherd
That's why. That's why Jason Kidd is talking about Cooper flag can play anywhere. Now remember, you don't have to be a great defensive backcourt in Dallas because your front line with AD is so good defensively and so big. So that. That's what I mean. Kyrie and Luca don't play defense. They got to the finals because, you know all these bigs protecting the rim. That was pre AD and AD is a better defender than all of them. So Dallas doesn't have to worry about that. They can pass on being great defensively in the backcourt. It doesn't matter for them. J Mac, that's quite a week. I middle cough early. Thank you, John. And then J. Mac came back and fine job. Jeff Goodman did a good job today. We're going to put him on the podcast. If you didn't hear Jeff Goodman talking about Ace Bailey and the situation there, that is Ace Bailey. And listen, Lamar Jackson's mom was his agent. Yeah, but, but Lamar was a centered kid. Lamar loves football. You know, Lamar just like may not have trusted people. I never worried about Lamar Jackson, his character, his quality. The Ace Bailey stuff is wild. Last year at this time, I mean, he was neck and neck with Dylan Harper as the number two pick. And Dylan Harper goes two, he goes five. That, that, that cost him like 9 million up 9 million north. So you cross your fingers out. Reportedly he's a good kid, but I, I just think when you're 17, 18, 19, 20 years old, you need strong guidance. And his agent's uncertified and has had legal issues. I'm just telling you what's been reported. I'm just telling you the truth. You can make of it what you will, J. Mac. I'll see you Monday. Be careful, everybody.

Colin Cowherd defends the Nets' approach: "Once you get down to the 22nd, 26, 27 pick, aren't you just taking the best guy on the board from your scouting department? And if it happens to be guards, I mean, again, this is the NFL where..."
Jason McIntyre adds perspective on team payroll and future prospects: "They have so many contracts coming off the books, and the Nets are going to have a lot of money in free agency next year."
