dan: nba draft is coming up next. the warriors have the seventh pick. larry is here to talk warriors, really a blockbuster trade. sports anchor: this is a stunning move by the warriors, they are acquiring the men most golden state fans absolutely despise. chris paul, the doves nemesis during his time with the

clippers, the rockets, the sons. he arrives at a deal that ships out jordan poole and two futuretrack pigs. there is no way the warriors win the title two seasons again without pool. his reward was a four year contract extension worth one to $28 million, but the field was raised and did last season when draymond green punched pool and training camp. pool as you saw with steph up and down, incredible scoring set off by turnovers and more. loss to the lakers, and with the dose openly according draymond green to sign the summer it seemed clear pool would be on his way out. they could not fix the broken relationship, and that brings us to chris paul, a long history of battling steph curry.

this is not 2014 no cp3 was dominant. being dumb from phoenix to washington and flipping the 38-year-old point guard to golden state, warriors, basketball iq goes up dramatically, but keeping him healthy for the postseason's party number one. the same as pool, but that money is coming off the books in a year, and saving money is a huge priority for the warriors franchise going forward. the waiters have the 19th pick in the draft, which is kind of shoved to the side with the pool and cp3 news. whatever the warriors are going to do, they are in win mode now, so whoever they take as to come in and contribute immediately or be involved in a trade to get another veteran. one last thing i want to

mention, because i checked repeatedly with warriors team sources, i cannot believe what i hear, but i am told we are eight plus months removed from the punch and at no time was there ever a sit down meeting with pool and draymoond and the coaches and the gm saying we have got to fix this with you to , it never happened. they were just hoping it would solve itself or maybe pool did not want to sit down. it did resolve itself, but blown away, it is almost like a big family and we will not talk about the thing. dan: it was so disruptive. sports anchor: indirect old thing and they were never able to put it behind them, but it is find them now. dan: problem solved. sports anchor: not the way anyone was hoping for. dan: we will see you after the draft and i.

former assistant coach will be at the draft table in new york and would love to see his former player end up with golden state. >> it would be amazing. i grew up five minutes from the coliseum. wherever he gets drafted, i am excited for kim -- opportunity. reporter: just on the road on the road another player hopes to hear his name come drive-by does well, but that will not be his first time on espn. >> check out amari. >> amari is a young man you would love to introduce your daughter, she would love to have the ball in his hand at the end of the game and you need a big when. the is is that dynamic art and is not afraid to go against the gods. reporter: the top 10 player of the day star aims to be the first and is a stay player drafted since 19 the 2022-2023 mountain west player of the year

been lost, adding these men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure. on board the vessel were a billionaire, a businessman and his 19-year-old son, a researcher, and the ocean gate ceo. the coast guard says that men presumably died and what is being called a catastrophic implosion that was determined after a remote operated vehicle discovered a debris field on the seafloor. >> the additional debris. anne's consultation -- in consultation with experts, the debris is consistent with a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber. upon this determination, we immediately notified the families. reporter: abc news confirmed

there were safety warnings about the sub including a former employee who allegedly raised concerns. there are plans to continue operations at the site to figure out when the sub imploded and exactly what went wrong. one bizarre part of this tragedy has to do with ocean gate's ceo. his wife happens to be the great great granddaughter of a famous couple who died on the titanic. dan: thank you very much. liz: with the story dominating the headlines only -- all week we were wondering what it would be like to be in a submersible. dan: we sat down with someone who did 17 submersible dives to the titanic wreckage. >> i was very apprehensive from day one. reporter:'s experience and his knowledge of ocean submersibles is extremely

valuable at a time when the rest of us know so little about how they operate under water. an implosion is the reverse of an explosion. >> this as opposed to this. an implosion is instant under those pressures. it was very forgiving considering the other possibilities of how they may have design -- died. reporter: he has gone down to the depths of the titanic wreckage 17 times in submersible operated by the russian academy of sciences. he spent up to 20 hours at a time shooting documentaries, and in 1994 that will be the titanic with director james cameron. the sub was made of titanium, as opposed to the titan, which had a carver -- carbon fiber

construction. >> there is not much comparison. reporter: he was surprised that the well-known french driver was in the doom submersible. he discovered wreckage in 1985. >> he would have known the shortcomings of that design. reporter: giddings points out they likely would not have survived the freezing temperatures inside for a long period of time. >> at the end of 20 when hours it would be in the 30's, and we would have layered on all of these close because of the duration of the dive. reporter: after a number of underwater excursions he said the submersible was likely stressed. >> it would show signs of fatigue through this compression and decompression process. i think those people would say it was unfortunately a disaster

waiting to happen. dan: so good to hear from al a summer intern is taking to the skies and will make you think twice before complaining about your commute. thank you for being a friend. girls pop up the kitchen foren tasty thursday. we care for all those who make your family, well, your family. that's why all of us work together to give them the care, and caring, that any family would. kaiser permanente. for all that is you.
