Speaker 1: is legendary. Find out why people say it's the best
Speaker 1: in all of DFW. It's worth going. There's only one
Speaker 1: location and it's in Plano Preston and Plano Parkway. So
Speaker 1: get out there to Andrews's American Pizza Kitchen. But coming
Speaker 1: up right now, it's time for this.
Speaker 2: What's going on in Dallas?
Speaker 3: For there wasn't new poll out that says that Dallas
Speaker 3: is the number fourteen best city according New O. Don't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't really dive into dpost of board with it.
Speaker 3: Cooper flags here though.
Speaker 2: That's good. Hey what else?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wondering what's next, Like what is next for
Speaker 1: the Mavericks for their roster construction? And Mark Stein seems
Speaker 1: to think that it's D'Angelo Russell, And you know, the
Speaker 1: Mavericks needs somebody to hold down the point guard position
Speaker 1: while Kyrie is healing, assuming Kai will miss the first
Speaker 1: half the season roughly, and then Ki will be back
Speaker 1: at some point, and they need somebody who can hold
Speaker 1: it down for Kai while he's out and then when
Speaker 1: ky returns can just kind of settle back into being
Speaker 1: a rotational player. There's been some good names thrown out there.
Speaker 1: I'm not super high on D'Angelo Russell, but it appears
Speaker 1: to be that that's the direction of the MAVs are
Speaker 1: looking if what Stein's information is correct, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I'll put it to you like this. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: Kid is anti D'Angelo Russell. I don't know that at all.
Speaker 1: Can you would you mind looking up KT what all years?
Speaker 1: I don't think he spent any time on that Laker
Speaker 1: team that won in the Bubble, but I can't remember.
Speaker 1: Now we'll find out real quick man, cause that would
Speaker 1: have been on that same staff with you know, Jared
Speaker 1: Dudley was a player. Anthony Davis was a player. He
Speaker 1: did play with ad I know, yeah, right, he was
Speaker 1: a Laker. I just don't think it was the championship
Speaker 1: two to twenty three. Yeah, okay, so it was after
Speaker 1: the championship here, so Kid would not have been with him.
Speaker 1: But I do know that Jason Kidd loves Malcolm Brogden
Speaker 1: because he had him in Milwaukee, and I think he
Speaker 1: can now Malcolm Brogden is not the scorer and shot
Speaker 1: creator that D'Angelo Russell is. D'Angelo Russell is also a
Speaker 1: subpar defensive player. Like he's a bad defensive player. That's
Speaker 1: not h That's my opinion from just watching him. I've
Speaker 1: never looked at any defensive metrics, but I just know,
Speaker 1: like when we've called games and we're playing him, I'm like,
Speaker 1: target that guy, isolate him, Let's just score a bunch.
Speaker 1: So uh, But it could be that the Mavericks feels
Speaker 1: so good about their back line defensively that.
Speaker 2: And they do need scoring.
Speaker 1: And of the news that are being tossed around, he's
Speaker 1: far and away the best score in terms of he's
Speaker 1: got Like I've seen him get on heaters and just
Speaker 1: run you for a quarter. So he can do that
Speaker 1: and they may look at their roster. You know what
Speaker 1: he is, He's a much better Jaden Hardy's what he
Speaker 1: is style of player. He has a much better Jaden Hardy.
Speaker 1: And so if that's like when you look out there
Speaker 1: and go, because the idea is you're gonna hold it
Speaker 1: down until Kyrie.
Speaker 2: Gets that did what he's roll last year basically Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: These names that are out there, none of them are
Speaker 1: doing it for me, but for five point seven whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I would like to see them put together a trade.
Speaker 1: Go get go get somebody that we're not even talking about,
Speaker 1: and a more substantial piece. And obviously I know you can't.
Speaker 1: You have a bunch of money to do that. You
Speaker 1: can't acquire some guy with huge contract or whatever. But
Speaker 1: put together Caleb Martin package, put in Jaden Hardy, you
Speaker 1: know what, throwing a sweetener, whatever you got to do.
Speaker 2: But I don't just want to settle.
Speaker 1: I think this could be really, really special, and so
Speaker 1: I think they should, you know, because there's times where
Speaker 1: the offense really struggled and it was a complete disaster.
Speaker 1: You had guys signing ten day contracts in starting games.
Speaker 1: It felt like, you know, it was so nuts. Last year,
Speaker 1: but it did seem like there's times where the offense
Speaker 1: would bog when Kai was gone. Do you know their
Speaker 1: best healthy ball handling scorer is right now, probably handling
Speaker 1: just yeah, just a guy that can handle the ball.
Speaker 1: It's probably Brandon Williams. Yeah, is he going to be
Speaker 1: back or uh yeah, Okay, he's under contract.
Speaker 2: I saw Kai Jones is probably gonna come back. Oh
Speaker 2: I didn't see that. Go life, Let's go yeah, K
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't they you know, maybe they look at the
Speaker 1: scoring being such a big deal that that's why.
Speaker 2: They like D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I've thought about that too, and it's like,
Speaker 1: hey man, it fills a need that we have until
Speaker 1: Kyrie gets back. I'm not worried about I'm not worried
Speaker 1: about shot creation. Once Kyrie gets back, I'd love to
Speaker 1: have more. I think by and I think I don't
Speaker 1: want to heap too much on Cooper Flag right now,
Speaker 1: but I think by next year, you're not going to
Speaker 1: be talking about shot creation because he's going to be
Speaker 1: such a such an amazing hub. He's not going to
Speaker 1: be a traditional run the offense guy. But dude, Duke
Speaker 1: was running their offense through him. They took the ball
Speaker 1: away from their guards and gave it to Cooper Flag.
Speaker 1: Now it's college, but I'm saying that's where he's.
Speaker 2: Going to be.
Speaker 1: Will he be anything like the Greek freak offensively, No.
Speaker 1: I think he's more like a Kaoir or Lebron type offense.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, you know in terms of like that
Speaker 1: hype so well, yeah, that type.
Speaker 2: Now, that's probably.
Speaker 1: Not fair to say Lebron because Lebron's one of the greatest,
Speaker 1: some of the greatest court vision of all times, so
Speaker 1: that may probably not fair for me to say that.
Speaker 1: But the way that he handles the ball, the ability
Speaker 1: to floor it and then pass off the dribble.
Speaker 2: Right, so if he's doubled, he can find the open guy.
Speaker 1: That's why I made those lamar Odom comparisons, Like I
Speaker 1: was always really comfortable with offense running through lamar Odom,
Speaker 1: but I didn't think he.
Speaker 2: Was a point guard. But he's going to be that.
Speaker 1: It's just he's not going to be that in his
Speaker 1: rookie year. He still has to learn the NBA game
Speaker 1: and NBA spacing and all that. But they're not going
Speaker 1: to have that problem long term. We're talking about for
Speaker 1: a shorter period of time. And that's why maybe it
Speaker 1: is Dangel Russell. I did not watch him play enough
Speaker 1: last year to really say, no, it needs to be
Speaker 1: this guy. But I feel like Malcolm Brogden, the Malcolm
Speaker 1: Brogden that I know, is the best fit. I just
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the same Malcolm Brogden, because dude,
Speaker 1: I was not watching Wizards games all right, coming up
Speaker 1: next in just over three minutes, Man, there is bad
Speaker 1: news for the liver King. It is not looking good.
Speaker 1: Who could have seen this coming? Ah,
