Hornets Upset Celtics, Murray’s MLB Tease, and DJ Moore Lands in Buffalo

Ryan Patta, Senior Defense of Lime and for Miami, gunned out.

Murder at the U, listen now. I don't know what's on. I don't think it's bed she got today. I don't think so. Welcome to PTI Boys and Girls.

“In today's episode, The Bill's Trade for the Bears D.J. Moore.”

Kyle Murray gets a baseball invite from the A's. And the Panthers pondered trading their star goly. But we begin today with a surprising, maybe even shocking result from the NBA last night. Charlotte Pete Boston in Boston. And did not just beat them, no?

Charlotte beat Boston in Boston by 29 points. 29. This was the Hornets sixth straight win by 15 or more. And they're 16th win in their last 19 games. And then today came the report that Jason Tatum could make his debut tomorrow night as seasonal debut versus Dallas.

We'll find you at the Celtics, quote, winning the at home last night. You're words. Yeah. But in light of the Tatum news, you tell me where you want to start. Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte.

We got plenty of time to talk about Tatum. And we will because they are worthy and Boston is a threat to win the whole thing.

“No, no, no, Tony Charlotte, which has been entirely irrelevant.”

And you can see some of the cuts from here. And there are people like our dear friend Charles Barkley who just declared, you know, a couple of weeks ago, Charlotte's going to make the playoffs. I call Charles in live time. He's on commercial break.

And I said, if you lost your mind, Charlotte, Charles goes a boy. Charlotte's going to be good. And last night, I'm talking to our friend Neville Waters who says, you watching Charlotte Boston. I said, no, he said, turn it on.

The Celtics to down 25 at home. Unbelievable. Knipple isn't just my rookie of the year anymore. He's almost everybody's rookie of the year. He's Neville's rookie of the year.

He's Neville's rookie of the year. I don't know. You know, Brandon Miller told him to actually vote. Tony there. No, he doesn't vote.

I do. There are threat. You could look. I know the vagaries of daily basketball in the NBA. We got 82 games.

You always say no one game is that significant.

And I, okay, well, mainly agree with you over the decades. But tone. This was a stunner. So this is where I say on the show. Slow down a second, Sparky.

Slow down. We are both inclined to like Charlotte because to be fair. Charlotte has been a lifeless franchise for the last 10 years. It's been an outpost that has made Sacramento look important. But the question then becomes, how seriously do we take Charlotte right now today?

And I would say not very seriously and here's why. Today they are 32 and 31 and to get to 32 and 31. They had to go 16 and 3. Yeah. They are in 9th place in the East today.

So. Plain. Yeah, I don't, I don't want to get carried away on the other hand. I think it's really good for the NBA that Charlotte has some life.

“The only thing we know about Charlotte really is that Michael Jordan sold them at some point.”

And then we lost track of Charlotte completely. La Mellow ball is healthy. He's averaging 17 points and nine assists a game. And last week, risking sack religion, I said that con canipple could more fin to Jerry West.

That is the tistic. That is a mind blowing statistic. When Brandon Miller and La Mellow ball are on the floor with con canipple. Yeah.

Con canipple shoots 58 percent from his insane.

58 percent. And the last team, the last team in the NBA to win six and a row by 15 or more was the Golden State Warriors in 2018 when they won something called the NBA Championship. So I'm not going to get carried away, but all signs are good. The 16 and three tone, the 16 is not a tiny sample side.

It's fun. It's fun. Jason Taden will get to because it looks like he's going to play. Oh, as recent. We have talked about that.

He's going to have the same pack. But it's down the road.

Let's move to football. And baseball. The Oakland A is invited soon to be former Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray to explore our return to baseball. Murray is 28 years old and it's been more than seven years since the A's picked

a number nine overall first round in the 2018 baseball draft. That was a year Murray had 296 with 10 home runs, 47 ribbies and 51 games for Oklahoma. Tony, if your Kyler Murray, would you seriously consider a return to baseball? Okay, if I'm Kyler Murray, I would.

And I would say it's because I was a first round draft choice. But if he goes down that road, there are serious questions that have to be answered.

Kyler Murray has now made $170 million in football.

Yeah. So he doesn't need money. But if he wants money, he can go out right now. Get a three or four year deal from another hundred million dollars. If he is going to go to baseball, you have to be serious about it.

“I think you have to commit to it for at least two years.”

He's going to be 29. If he commits for two years, then he's 31. If he wants to come back to football. And then maybe that economic window has closed for him. He's got to be absolutely serious about this.

And the question that has to be answered if your Kyler Murray is, can he hit Major League pitch? That's it. My key has got months before football starts again. If I were Kyler Murray and I was serious, I would go to the A's training camp. I would go to a backfield.

I would say give me all your major league pictures and let me see if I can hit. Go see if I can hit I can play. Yeah, go pay somebody to come and do that. Guy who, you know, is a hopeful to get some camp somewhere.

Tony, first of all, it provides leverage for football.

If you want to go get that contract and it seems real serious about bringing you in the quarterback. You just drove that up. No more NFL veteran minimum. We're not talking that anymore. So that's right.

But here's the thing. He was considered a five to a player at his height. Okay, when he's in college.

“So if we know three of those tools, he's got to still have tone.”

We know he can run. We know he can throw and chances are pretty damn good. He can still field. So the question like he said is for average. He can hit or power.

He hit Major League pitching. And he's got to find that out. The team has got to find that out if they're interested in him. Oakland has got to find that out. I would love.

I would love for him to be Bo Jackson.

I think that's really special. There's an authority. He's like, let me put you in that mindset. Size and everything. Yes.

But if he leaves football now, some people will judge him as a failure. He may not want to carry that as a last impression. He may want to stay and try and get better. I don't know. But if it was me, I'd certainly try it.

Interesting. We moved to the NHL. The trade deadline is tomorrow at 3 p.m. The other day, we talked about the disappointing goal Tending in last year's Stanley Cup finalists.

Edmonton and Florida. We talked about Tristan Jerry and Sergei Babrofsky being like Siv's in the net slightly. But let's narrow this down. Babrofsky has won two straight Stanley Cups.

Right now, though, he's 50/50 out of 59 NHL goal. He's in safe percentage. This is the worst year of his 16-year career. So will bond if you were a contender.

“Would you trade for 37-year-old legend Sergei Babrofsky?”

It's only as with anything. The answer to that lies largely with how much is it going to cost me. So depending on what sort of draft compensation it's going to cost me, I think I would predict. Lemme bring up one team, which is used to having some really fine

goal-tending come spring and that would be Vegas. That would be Las Vegas tonight. So they got two goal-tenders, both of whom are out of the top 30. They're a division leading team. So they got aspirations now.

And Babrofsky is having a terrible regular season. It looks like that worst of his career. But he can turn it on. It seems because he was not great the last couple of regular season. But he gets, you know, the time, cherry blossoms are out in Washington.

He can turn it on and be great again. Short period of time. So great play off. Yes. If I'm a team like Vegas, yeah, I do it.

Okay. So my feeling is, would I trade for him? I would trade for him in a red hot minute. What do I have to lose? He's going to be a free agent.

If it doesn't work out, I've just rented him for a few weeks. That's true. That's all. So then I'm going to do that. There's a statistic here.

It is about goals above expected. It's probably like war in the United States. Okay. Got to be. So these are saves you make against things that look like certain goals.

in the 65 games where he was the goal tender. His average in this thing goals above expected is higher than in the last 161 regular season games. He's played. He's a great playoff goalie.

You know, and he can't see you because he has two Stanley Cup rings. It is eyes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

So I would trade for him. And I would, I would reason it this way.

“I think he's simply exhausted from the last few years.”

I've already a mic for the first seven to ten regular season games.

I'd put him back in in the last ten regular season games. Yeah. And then I would start selling tickets to the Stanley Cup. Yeah. Because I think he's a great playoff goalie.

And I, you say Vegas. I would say Edmonton. Let's take a break. Still to come. The bills are trading from bears.

We see their duty a more. And what is the word for that? And how best to describe Mike Brown's criticism of the way SGA? It's appreciated. Really?

You know, he's got a 16 team no trade course. Half the league he refuses to go away. Half the league. He can waive it. I mean, Bradley Bill waived it.

So Bob Ross, he can waive it. How do you work out for Bradley Bill so far? Well, that goes. But what I wanted to do today, was not to get to the studio.

The master of the club, Tapücher Soft, who's interested. He's a master. I'm sorry. You can say that.

Yeah. You're a master. But you can't do that. Exactly. ZauberWort for Lustford.

Do you want to do that? Do you want to do that? And if you do that, you can do that. You can do that. Do you want to do that?

Safe. How do you do that? Hold it. Do you want to do that? Just try it out.

It's the middle of the night. In a small town on the Jersey Shore,

“someone reports an abandoned car on a bridge.”

A search gets underway for the missing driver. 19-year-old Sarah Stern. Is it a missing person? Is it a suicide? At this point, nobody knows.

Old friendships. Buried cash. And a sinister plot that was once pitched as a movie, plays out in real life. I'm Juju Chang from 2020 and ABC audio.

Listen now to Bridge of Lives, wherever you get your podcasts. Time to show off our extraordinary vocabulary. I'm in my doctor's suit, can't say I'm in it. What's first?

The Bill's acquisition of White Receiver DJ Boor is blank. My word is enhancing. We keep hearing about how the Buffalo Bills don't get to the Super Bowl.

And everybody's fear that Josh Allen is never going to get to the Super Bowl.

That the window has closed. This opens up the window. This enhances Josh Allen's chances to get to the Super Bowl. And here's why Buffalo last year had no real wide receiver threat. Two of their top three receivers were tight ends.

DJ Boor is a professional wide receiver. As you know, he's had four years of over a thousand yards. And he plays every day. I mean, he doesn't get hurt. And the cold weather in Buffalo is not going to bother.

Because he just spent the last three years in cold weather in Chicago. To me, this is a really big mood for Buffalo. And I hope at the end of whatever you're going to say, address this. Because this is the second person who has left the offense. Why receiver and center?

And I'm worried this has a negative effect on Caleb Williams. Don't get to that. My word is necessary for all the reasons that you stated. Josh Allen needs some help. He needs it now.

Yeah. Not three years from now. No, you want to go get a veteran, not a draft pick, a veteran wide receiver. Dependable. DJ Moor to think I worry about him leaving the bears with his toughest guy out there.

All right. He's the toughest guy at a room now. It's a deep wide receiver room with Roma Dunzey. And they've been doing this for two years. And we got this kid that nobody talks about.

Did you walk or what I said to you yesterday. He's going to have to slide up and two tight ends who can catch it. Lovelin, you know, and commit. So I'm not worried about that part of it. We still need a center.

But the draft picked the bears get the second round draft pick can be used to trade or draft.

But going back to Buffalo. This is necessary because Josh Allen needs this threat. And he's got to be thrilled today to get DJ Moor.

“But what do you feel you lost a good one receiver in a great center?”

I need to have a young quarterback. Are we going to be in the room?

It's problematic although my friends tell me what.

“Former bears says don't lose sleep just yet.”

They're going to be able to replace them. I'm worried about losing him. What's next? What's next? Mike Brown's criticism of the way SGA is officiated is blank.

My word is nonsense. And I like Mike Brown. Okay, Mike Brown is complaining that Gilges Alexander gets all the calls. Nothing goes against him. Last night he was upset because he thought that Gilges Alexander had charged and he didn't get that call.

I watched enough of that game Mike that I know a little bit about what I'm talking about. There were no calls last night. There were no calls. When people bring the ball up in the NBA, the guy dribbling the ball, uses his old hand to push whoever is guarding him.

That uses the ball hand to elbow whoever is guarding him and vice versa. Okay, the next for example.

“The next have a player who you know well from Chicago.”

Would you like to say his name, Jailin Johnson? He's a tank out there. If you guard Jailin Brunson all game, you go home with wealth. The only time a foul was called last night was after a ball was shot. And 99.99% of the time it was a defensive foul call.

Does Mike Brown, that's the NBA. Does Mike Brown not see this every single night because his players do it too. So this is nonsense. Tony, it's chickens coming home to roost because Jailin Brunson, who I love, yes Chicago's own, no one is more physical.

All right, Jailin Brunson has, he is so smart and so savvy.

And he figured out as a second round draft pick.

How to formulate a game and use the skills he has plus new ones and toughness, which fit the next more than they did in Dallas when he was there. Tony, it's his chickens coming home to roost Mike Brown. You don't want to call attention to SGA doing this. Because that means officials will start watching your best place.

That's what Jailin Brunson has.

“You're left handed guard who looks like he has three arms as he hits everybody on the court.”

On his way to the basket. So I mean, I feel exactly like you do what is Mike Brown talking about. It's like Mike, if I was a new guy, if I was a next player for Jailin Brunson, I would go to Mike today and say Mike, come on. That does not get into my secret sauce.

Absolutely true. I'd love to talk, but nothing came up on the prompter. So somebody will get aside of this segment as you will. Enough of Wilburne's draft vocab. Let's take one last break. Still to come a truly mind-boggling start to spring training for an Orioles' prospect.

And the nugget's host of Lakers tonight. But is that tonight's most intriguing NBA game? No. It's tan fighting. Mike, the guy bringing up the hole.

It's hand fight. Yes, she is not every single guy. He gets fouled. The limbs go into the basket. Happy time. People have be 33rd birthday, Kyle Schwarber.

You boy, Wilburne. Schwarber since he signed with the Phillies in 2022. Schwarber has been one of the great power hitters in baseball. He has 187 home runs in four years in Philadelphia, including a national league leading 56 this past season.

In those four years, Schwarber has 434 RBI, including a major league leading 132 this past season. Phillies have made the playoffs in all of those four years, and Schwarber has 14 home runs in 38 playoff games for the Phillies. For a while, Schwarber and show Hayat Tani

looked like the greatest lead off power hitters ever.

But this past season, Schwarber usually batted second

after train Turner and before Bryce Hartford. He can wear whatever uniform he wants sort of rest of time. He's a cub. He's on the magical 2016 team that won the World Series. Kyle Schwarber came back from a horrific knee injury

to do so in my former neighbor in Chicago. He's a cub. Yeah, I wanted him to be a nut, and he was for a while. He was a great tune, and then he got hurt, and then he left. And it hurt the nuts a lot, happy anniversary North Carolina.

On this day four years ago, the tar heel is coached by Uver Davis. Spoiled the retiring Mike Schwarber's final game at Cameron Indoor by beating Duke 94 81 in another episode of the greatest rivalry in college basketball. Making matters worse for Duke, the heels beat the blue devils in the final four a few weeks later,

and Schwarber's final game ever coached Duke. Then they lost the Kansas in the championship game. She shapsky finished up 50-50 against North Carolina,

three Olympic gold medals and 1,202 wins at Duke and Army, the most wins ever from men's college coach.

“What about you going to Carolina Duke on Saturday, aren't you?”

Sorry, I'm going to that game. I'm excited already. The last time I was just like 10 years ago, we were the game Jim Bayheim King twirling out of his jacket. And then you got thrown out of that, at least he got teed up.

So I cannot wait for this game. The question is, is Carol, am I going to have enough firepower to get within 15 of the nuclear dukes?

You've never, ever, give 15 in this ride.

No, you never do that. Happy trails to another ball off the bat of Dance Honey Cup. The Orioles prospect it is fourth home run in four spring training at bats yesterday. That's right.

He has homework in every one of his at bats so far, earning him the nickname Home Run Honey Cup. The 22 year old was Baltimore's first round pick two years ago, but he has struggled in the minors. He didn't just won 71 in high A last season,

just five home runs in 101 games.

“In fact, Honey Cup is not even in Big League camp.”

He's come over from the minor league side on occasion to serve as the next or player for the big board team, like being a two-way contract in the G league. He credits his sudden success

to tweaking his swing in the off season.

Well, he should have tweaked earlier at stage. When you heard the name Honey Cup, we're of a certain age. I know what you had to think is this kid playing to Rick Honey Cup to repair him now.

Rick Honey Cup. I'm all the research on it. We don't think he is. Can't find any. Four of those is four at bats.

If he still wins over like 18 nine, his shows are so far out of their thoughts and conscious this 89. Man, that didn't start. Let's go to the Big Finishing.

Let's go to Empire and Andrew McCutchen, reportedly signing a minor league deal with the Rangers. It's not significant. I don't know about significant. He's a former MVP.

Yes, but that's like 13 years ago. And he's 39. That good luck, though. The US Women's Soccer Team beat Canada. One nothing in the she believes Cup.

Is that result a big deal?

“You know, I think we're aren't way the best in soccer,”

but we've now beaten Canada in two hockey games and a soccer game. Mist beat Phantom. But the unrivaled title. Are you surprised by that?

I'm not going to. If you don't do a sort of offseason sport in any sport and I'm waiting for the real the real season that comes along. But I have no idea.

Sabers. Apping with tonight. Holy yeah God. All right. So Buffalo is an upstate New York.

I went to college. You know upstate New York. They haven't been in a playoff since 14 years. It's the longest route ever in the NHL. It's good that they're good now.

I'm going to send them mentally. We're good for them. Last one. Lake is nuggets. Kristen Spurs tonight.

Which is more intriguing. It's not close. Of course it's Kristen Spurs. That is a potential NBA championship.

You know, it's to never get your boy.

Tray young. Back in the unit. Yeah. Tonight we'll meet with you. Wizards stay here.

Let's see how we're under on how many games that Tilly says. I'm done here. We're out of time. Trying to bet at the next time.

I'm Tony Cornard. I'm Mike Wilbond. We'll bond same time tomorrow. I'll not go head to now here. The point.
