04 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

1.533 - 4.376 Matt Spiegel

I'm even more handsome in FM. That's what I found.

0

4.876 - 6.297 Laurence Holmes

I don't think it works like that.

0

6.317 - 9.861 Marshall Harris

Yes, yeah, yeah. I think it does. You run faster and jump higher is what I was told.

0

10.361 - 28.198 Matt Spiegel

Yeah, I think that's what it does, Marshall. You can take your fancy radio acumen and your television history and your manicured jawline and say that that's not how it works. But for those of us over here, I'm much more handsome on the FM.

29.174 - 51.503 Marshall Harris

That was Danny Parkins. We thank him and Kendall Gill for joining our show. We have some breaking news. Sham Sharania, we asked the question at noon, did we see Kobe White's last game as a Bull? We did. The Bulls are trading Kobe White and Mike Conley Jr. to the Charlotte Hornets for Colin Sexton, Usman Jang, and three second-round picks.

52.529 - 63.163 Marshall Harris

The reply underneath was hilarious because it was like Jang finding out that he got traded as a member of the Hornets while being an active member of the Thunder. Funny joke, but Kobe White to the Hornets.

63.481 - 87.413 Laurence Holmes

and uh so kobe gets to go home yeah that he is from north carolina so kobe white is the number one scorer the number one scorer in the history of north carolina high school basketball number one so yeah he gets to go home that's pretty cool and uzman jang by the way i had to google 22 year old frenchman they love themselves some frenchman well he was part of that uh the 22 draft

87.815 - 91.2 Laurence Holmes

11th overall pick by the Knicks in 2022.

91.32 - 97.428 Matt Spiegel

Did you finish all of your Mike Connolly draft pick stuff? Do you want to get all that material out?

Chapter 2: What breaking news about Kobe White's trade is revealed?

125.716 - 129.803 Matt Spiegel

That was my favorite part of the Mike Conley era. Thaddeus.

0

129.843 - 131.585 Laurence Holmes

He's a fuller bull. I know.

0

131.605 - 134.168 Matt Spiegel

We got to bring up Thaddeus Young yesterday.

0

134.308 - 138.594 Laurence Holmes

Let's have fun naming guys. That's what we do around here sometimes.

0

138.814 - 142.618 Marshall Harris

Name guys is true. So that trade coming through via Sham Sharania.

Chapter 3: How does the trade impact the Chicago Bulls' future?

143.099 - 154.873 Marshall Harris

Thanks to Ray Diaz, Tyler Bearderbaugh, Brandon Fryer. Thanks to Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and Cody Westerlund. And those are the voices of Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel. Hi, guys.

0

155.013 - 169.508 Laurence Holmes

What's interesting about this, fellas, is that Guard out, guard in. Colin Sexton, is he going to get moved now, turned around quickly? That's a dude who shoots 39% from three and who's really had a kind of strong resurgence to his career being a rotation piece.

0

170.128 - 187.605 Laurence Holmes

And the Hornets, by the way, will soon be in the 10 spot, which means the Bulls will be in the 11 spot because the Hornets have already won seven games in a row and they're about to pass the Bulls and get into the play-in. And that opens conversations about tanking because the last time I checked, they still have a very undersized basketball club. Yeah, it's interesting.

0

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Colin Sexton joining the Bulls?

188.246 - 214.089 Laurence Holmes

The Bulls and what's going on with them is something we'll figure out. But Colin Sexton and the Hornets, they're building a little something. I don't know if anybody saw the Cooper-Flagg-Kahn-Knipple game last week. It was beautiful. Dude, Cooper Flagg had 49 and missed the game winner at the buzzer. And his college roommate and teammate, Con Knipple, I think hit eight threes and was brilliant.

0

214.169 - 218.18 Matt Spiegel

And Jason Kidd's tired of you asking about it, quite frankly. Amazing. Yes, he really is.

0

218.2 - 223.291 Laurence Holmes

And he's right. But Charlotte is building a little something with LaMelo and Knipple, and it was with Sexton.

0

Chapter 5: What historical context is provided about Kobe White's career?

223.351 - 231.668 Laurence Holmes

It's more than a little something. Seven straight, and Conn Knipple's been the best rookie not named Cooper Flagg this season. He will have an argument for that rookie of the year.

0

231.688 - 239.524 Leila Rahimi

Don't you remember there was a hot week where people were like, I'm going to tell you why Conn Knipple should be the first overall pick instead of Cooper Flagg. It was like a week.

0

239.504 - 261.071 Laurence Holmes

But it was a week. I didn't realize he was going to be this. I'll say it flat out. That's number two in the Rookie of the Year voting, and ought to be anyway. But I just Googled Colin Sexton, because like, and I read this, it made me sad for him. Colin Sexton hopes to still be part of the Hornets beyond Thursday. Quote, oh yeah, I definitely love it here. I love it in Charlotte.

0

261.091 - 281.965 Laurence Holmes

It's close to home. And I just love being a part of something. being a part of culture change i like being able to come in and be a vet to the young guys so like that man has been loving life as part of the charlotte hornets that we were just discussing and now he's a bull and maybe he'll love it here or maybe he'll be somewhere else in a day and a half 27 that doesn't fit the timetable

0

281.945 - 304.138 Laurence Holmes

What is the timetable? I think max out at Giddy's age. Giddy and Modest, so within three to four years. I think the extreme is probably Simons, if he's a bull after the trade deadline. He's 26. Do you have assurance in your heart that that's what they're doing? Do you feel strongly in your heart that that's what's happening here? You're saying you think the program may have changed.

304.118 - 323.21 Laurence Holmes

I don't know what the program is. Well, I tell you the stated program. You heard what AK said. We want to get nine to ten guys, and they want it to be on the quote-unquote giddy, modest timetable. Those are the pieces so far. Now, when the trade deadline passes, and hopefully AK gets in front of the media and answers questions about what has transpired over a week's time.

323.351 - 333.707 Laurence Holmes

Hopefully Eversley gets in front of the media and explains it. That's fair. That's very fair. I don't know. It was a little better this year and then pretty good with us on opening night.

333.887 - 358.553 Matt Spiegel

I think that's a different circumstance. I think Eversley is better in press conferences and Arturis is better in a sit-down. Would you guys like to have some more fun with names from that draft? Yes! So it gets wilder. One, Tiago Splitter was in that draft. Tiago Splitter's old, old. Yes, he's coaching. He's coaching the Blazers now. Absolutely. So you've got that part of it.

359.895 - 370.23 Matt Spiegel

Tanny will appreciate this. I hear the brother from DePaul, Wilson Chandler, was also in that draft that year. That's how far. You want some more name speaks?

Chapter 6: How do the hosts evaluate the performance of the Charlotte Hornets?

504.14 - 526.197 Laurence Holmes

Thank you, Marshall. Eight player trade. Eight player trade. And now Anthony Davis can play along with Trey Young and they got a little something, something. They have Alex Saar. They also have the fifth tied for the fourth worst record in basketball. So they could have a chance at a, you know, lottery pick. But Cooper Flagg, who is absolutely the real deal. Yes. 100% the real deal.

0

Chapter 7: What are the potential long-term effects of this trade on the Bulls?

526.397 - 544.005 Laurence Holmes

Agreed. Now doesn't have to sort of deal with the Anthony Davis specter in terms of whose team is it if there was going to be one. Was he dealing with that? No, I mean like when he comes back and moving forward and things like that. It's nice and clean if you're Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks. Give me another name, Lawrence. Give me another name.

0

544.125 - 546.008 Matt Spiegel

Glenn Big Baby Davis.

0

545.988 - 550.455 Laurence Holmes

Covered Cody Davis in college before he ended up in prison.

0

550.516 - 559.37 Matt Spiegel

Wasn't he on the plane with the Popeyes and all the money? Wasn't there a picture of him like, I'm living life and I've got this Popeyes on this private jet.

0

559.591 - 561.754 Marshall Harris

Speaking of that, anybody checked on Gilbert lately?

563.417 - 570.088 Matt Spiegel

Well, I'm sure Mr. Crittenton. Oh, wow. Let's check him out.

571.486 - 575.133 Laurence Holmes

Yi Jianlian, also in this draft. That's amazing.

575.754 - 578.179 Matt Spiegel

If I can jump to the... I'm sorry, that's enough fun with names.

578.199 - 589.461 Laurence Holmes

No, let me jump to the 2018 draft, where Colin Sexton, the new Bull, was number eight overall in that draft. Ahead, or sorry, after the Bulls took...
