00:00Here on Media Day, a lot of big storylines, none bigger than the contract extension talks
00:06for Josh Hart and Carl V. Towns. We heard some interesting comments from both.
00:10What were your takeaways and what you heard from both of these guys?
00:12Yeah, so when you come into this, you don't really know how they're going to play it
00:17because there's a lot going on behind the scenes.
00:19And a lot of times you just get, I'm going to leave that to my agent.
00:22Right.
00:22We didn't get that.
00:23What we got was, in my interpretation, was putting some pressure on the Knicks.
00:28Certainly with Cat, he was asked, you know, how comfortable are you if you go into the season
00:33and continue to negotiate?
00:35He was like, well, in this situation, there is no comfort, right?
00:38And then Josh Hart, likewise, he was like, I don't expect anything to get done before the season
00:43because there's been no movement.
00:44But this is something that could be hanging over us.
00:47It could be hanging over, you know, you make decisions with your family.
00:50And he had an interesting line that said, you know, if this goes until February,
00:54now it's a different conversation.
00:56And what's in February, the trade deadline.
00:57In my opinion, it was the players putting pressure on the organization to get something done.
