00:00They just had, I mean, Langdon, it's an uphill battle.
00:03And it starts with your preparation for the draft
00:06and trying to nail the draft.
00:07And what people say is not a great draft
00:09with deep with talent, but I'm not gonna buy that
00:12because there's talent in every draft.
00:14There is talent.
00:15And you have to find it and you have to,
00:17I don't know if he's gotta have his philosophy right now
00:20of what he wants, you know, like what Brad Holmes does.
00:25I mean, he and Dan Campbell are at the hip.
00:27Those guys, they can complete each other's sentences,
00:30you know, from day one, they could.
00:32They were in lockstep with what they wanted to do.
00:35I don't know if Langdon's gonna be that way
00:38with whomever he hires as a coach,
00:40but hopefully they hire somebody quickly
00:41and they can be in lockstep, you know,
00:43but are they just trying to, at this point,
00:45gather talent and gather people
00:47that fit what they wanna do?
00:50Or are they gonna take the best player in the draft
00:53and try to fit him in later?
00:55I don't know which is the best route to go
00:57because it seemed like they accumulated plenty of talent
00:59over the last several years, but they didn't fit together.
01:04No.
01:05So you have to find that mix of talent and fit,
01:09which is not going to be easy to do.
01:12And they have had misstep after misstep after misstep
01:15with their draft choices over the years.
01:17Guys were good, but guys didn't fit.
01:19And then they had, I was telling you during the break,
01:22you know, you had a situation where you draft
01:25Andre Drummond and Chris Middleton in 2012
01:29with your first two picks.
01:31That's pretty good to start off right there.
01:34You file that up the next season
01:35with Contavious Caldwell-Pope, great three-point shooter.
01:39The next year, you draft Spencer Dinwiddie.
01:42Four players right off the bat
01:45that have all-star capabilities.
01:47This team should have been set up, and they weren't.
01:50Then they start trading guys away
01:52and chasing it this way and chasing it that way.
01:55You misstep with a Stanley Johnson pick.
01:57You trade for players that just,
02:02it's not going to work out here.
02:04Great, oh, we saw a playoff appearance one year.
02:07But I mean, it just, they got to have the right identity
02:10for what they want for the team.
02:11I hope he's the next Brad Holmes.
02:13I hope he has that kind of fire inside
02:15and that kind of vision that makes sense
02:18and that he's got a coach that's going to walk with him
02:20and it all makes sense.
02:21We need to find basketball players, whatever that is.
02:25We need to find dogs, guys that want to play
02:26aggressively, defensively, and stop you from scoring.
02:29We got to find guys that want to fly down the court
02:31and put the ball in the hoop.
02:33It's not easy to do.
02:35It is not.
