 There's a leadership console on the team. I know you guys are two of the guys on the leadership console When you get the word on that you have that responsibility because now the whole team knows that you guys are the designated leaders How do you take that? Well, I've never been a part of anything like that actually But don't my guys are usually talking about like let's not have this practice or make sure this practice isn't too long That's what a lot of it's about is just structuring practices and structuring Shoot-A-Rounds and just obviously Mike wants to have it every day and then we have guys that don't want to do it any days So like we're finding that compromise of the team, but it's been good. I think it's I think we've had a healthy balance and And like Mike it will say while he's sitting in that meeting is it's been working like this So if we change it and it stops working he's like we're going right back to this. Yeah, so it's our fault So it's I mean it's it's us taking accountability and what we're doing as a team Framing issues aside choms. I would like to talk about your biggest takeaway for those two guys They look like they actually like each other and that the team is figuring stuff out and no matter what kind of disrespect The rest of us seem to be giving them. They don't hear it. Is that is that fair? What did you think? Yeah, I mean, I think they came in the season with a chip on their shoulder Do you have to give Mike Brown a lot of credit? I mean he's got to be the front runner for for coach of the year right now a given what he's done the Turnaround that the Kings have been on 16-year drought long as a professional sports currently right now that they're gonna They're gonna snap but you have to give a lot of credit to the players as well Do you earn Fox's development to not the sabonis has come in? He's put an exceptionally high level and I think when you look back at that trade That was another thing that I had a conversation about with them is is them finally addressing the trade of Tyrese Halburne First sabonis that brought sabonis to Sacramento and I think when you think about win-wins it got Sacramento to the playoffs It's put deer and fox in a situation where he's able to play alongside another big and a lot more cleaner environment Then he would have with Tyrese Halburne. So Halburne is gonna be a star There's no question about it sabonis also an all-star as well And Halburne's gonna have more of a runway to be a franchise cornerstone in a piece But I think the Kings got exactly what they wanted out of the trade I think both sides did so when you think about win-win trades. This probably is the best example of that Yeah, it seems like one of those rare moments where it worked out Chandler leadership council sounds so official Have you ever been a part of something like that? Man times have changed. Can you imagine back in the day of Kevin McHale asked us if we wanted to practice or who wanted to practice? Who's hungover? He would tell us to kick rocks at least Coach six of us don't really feel it today. That would be incredible. But no that That has never never happened in my career, but It's working. It's working for them. Give the players some accountability and if hopefully they don't take advantage of it, but Man, he just got my vote for coach of the year just hearing that I know it's very uh, very progressive. I kind of love it myself shams. Thank you as always We will talk to you tomorrow morning. You guys sticking around because we got more games other things happened last night And it was just those kings Playing Utah. Uh, they beat them. I'm sorry. No the jeth beat the kings last night 128 120 Darren foxo did have 37 and seven. Okay, so a play in birth for this jazz team that we all know started out so red hot And they've sort of drifted off a little right now sitting in 10th. What would it mean to this team chalder to get that play in spot? I mean, it would be a lot because this is a team again that we thought might be tanking in the beginning of the year Then like magically start off as the you know on the top of the west comp western conference the beginning of the year And they're right there and they have something with some of their young guys, but Not to switch topics here, but this is why I have a problem with the kings No, Jordan Clarkson last night. No colon sex and no lorry marketing And they lose to this team and that is just why you know, they're not feared And and this also on the flip side shows that the jazz are dangerous And because the league is so talented across the board now That on any given night they can beat you and that's what happens in a playoff series It is so hard to be any team I don't care what's see you don't care if they just had to play a play in to play in games It is hard to be a team four times because they're going to adjust. They're going to watch film You're not scouting anything else other than this and these guys are talented and they're versatile They can beat you and you take away their first or second option Their third and fourth option are still very very good So it would be huge for them just because I think the expectations were so low And then they exceeded everyone's expectations early on they kind of fell back off And now they're right there in the hunt to kind of get in this play in and anything can happen So I I love what they're doing. I love their coach. I love their youth. I love what lorry marketing the seasons he's had So I think just making that play in and having a chance Is icing on the cake for a season that we thought was going to be a throwaway anyways Eddie you heard all the reasons chandler has Concerns about the kings and possibly why they don't get some of the respect that maybe they think they deserve They are a third place right now. They would face the warriors if things were to start today, but for you What are your expectations realistically for what they can accomplish moving forward? I think chandler's right about last night. I mean you can give them the excuse and say hey This was the end of a long road trip a foregain trip They kind of went all over the country to do it, but this is an embarrassing loss They're missing their top guys and you go out there and drop this you're immediately down 25 You just come out sluggish and it's their defense. It all starts and ends with their defense We know they can put up points with they put up points against everybody in the league They make everybody want to shoot out against them But the jazz did just that and I want to shout out walker kessler my god I sweety yesterday. Yo the rudigo bear tray may eventually be the walker kessler tray because he was sensational last night In bottling up don't don't demand a sabonis He held the sabonis to 4 of 11 from the field just 11 points and he matched them with 10 points There's a guy who pretty much never touches the ball had some huge blocks down the stretch Including a big one on sabonis to the point where sabonis got frustrated and dunked on them eventually But the jazz sets in a resilient team It would be great for them to make the playoffs But they got to look it back at this season the success either way They have a young all-star that they got in that trade and they got to feel good going forward But yeah, the kings their warts. They're all right there They're starting walker not walker kessler. Excuse me kessler edwards Who was a bench warmer and a two-league a two-way guy for the nets and they're fully healthy starting them They have holes on that roster that they just can't get around Functionally, they're not athletic enough. They don't have quick enough feet They're giving a lot of minutes to guys like trellis and demontus sabonis who just do not defend And they're going to be issues going into the playoffs. So yes, if they get the Warriors I'm almost going to say whatever version of the Warriors That's a short series and it sucks because it's been a great season for them. So if I'm them I'm watching the bottom of the standings and I'm trying to get that two seed best we can But yes, all their all their flaws are apparent and last night was a great example of them I wish the playoffs started today
