00:00He had the, uh, governor of the Celtics on Friday, it was excellent, went around the world over the weekend with Wick Grosbeck,
00:05and he said that he doesn't envision any team going into the second apron given the new, uh, penalties that have been implemented by the collective bargaining agreement that just started.
00:16That you're gonna lose the ability to add players using the mid-level exemption, you're gonna be unable to trade draft picks,
00:23and I say, fine!
00:25Keep this team as it is, as long as possible, and just pay the tax!
00:29You're not gonna ever be this good again, don't do what the Patriots did, which is squander years where you have the coach and the quarterback together,
00:36utilize Jalen and Jason, and if Porzingis and others are, you know, in and out, whatever, but that's not an excuse to me.
00:45And it's the latest and greatest example of owners unanimously ratifying an agreement that penalizes winning by saying we can't spend, then bitching about it.
00:55If you give yourself a budget, and then don't go over it, you could still be cheap, it's just you keeping yourself to a budget.
01:03It's just their money, and I don't find these rules to be nearly as, uh, difficult to overcome as was insinuated on the interview on Friday.
01:14I do think there will be teams in the next 10-15 years that will be in the second apron for a prolonged period of time, and no team better exemplifies one that should do it than the Celtics.
01:27Well, and I heard you guys talking a little bit about this on Saturday, but the intent to create, you and Ken were arguing about whether the intent to create parity is working for the NBA,
01:41and Ken's argument was, he took it geographically, because he was basically saying that OKC being in it was indicative of the fact that teams that weren't in big markets could compete, basically.
01:57Right, but I think, God love Ken, I don't think they taught parity at Northeastern, because if you're really good, you can stay really good.
