16
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>right here we want to get into a little MAVs talk.

17
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 1>And on Wednesday, you've got Luka Dancic returning to Dallas

18
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Fort Worth as a Laker, and man, this has me

19
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 1>all in my feels I'm just starting to get over

20
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>at the realization that he's gone, and it's all so painful.

21
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's one of the worst seasons I can

22
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>ever remember as a sports fan, just to go from

23
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>being in the NBA Finals, having a twenty five year

24
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 1>old mega superstar that's on your team. You have this

25
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>like false sense of security, like, man, we're gonna be

26
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>good for a decade from here, and then suddenly he's

27
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>traded away, and then your whole team gets hurt. It's

28
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>just been a wild, wild ride, and you know, this

29
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>is probably, I don't know, the most hurtful, painful moment

30
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 1>of it all is going to be him in his

31
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, former home stadium wearing Lakers goal. If he plays,

32
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, second night of a back to back, you

33
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 1>don't think of late.

34
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>No. I definitely think he's playing, but I think it's

35
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 2>fun to throw wild stuff out there.

36
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, no, no, I think.

37
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>He would sit the Oklahoma City game, especially since the

38
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Lakers destroyed Oklahoma City last night or yesterday afternoon.

39
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 3>They hammered him.

40
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys know that the thunder have the highest

41
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>point differential in NBA history margin of margin of victory.

42
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I was with someone who wagers, and he was like,

43
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute, the Thunder nine and a half point

44
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.199
<v Speaker 2>favorites over the Lakers. I go, dude, I think that's

45
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>every Thunder game because their point margin is so big,

46
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 2>and then we looked it up. It's the biggest in

47
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>NBA history. No team is at a consistent winning margin

48
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 2>like that. Now, the Lakers went in there and absolutely

49
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 2>destroyed him, and it was primarily Luca that was getting

50
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>it done.

51
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 3>He was just he would not miss.

52
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 2>So I think there's zero chance he misses the Dallas

53
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>game unless, and I'm not wanting this obviously, if he

54
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 2>were to get tweaked or hurt somehow on Tuesday night.

55
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>There's no way he's missing this. I think he's been

56
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>dreaming of this. It is going to be a home

57
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>game away from home, like people are going to wildly

58
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.599
<v Speaker 2>cheer is loud as they're cheering for the home team

59
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>every time he scores or makes a pass or right.

60
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 2>So it's gonna be insane. There's no way he misses that.

61
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know how to reconcile all the emotions

62
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>going into it, Like it's just.

63
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm a mess.

64
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 1>It's been a it's been a very difficult season. It's

65
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>been in on top of god, I saw somebody had this.

66
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>They were like the Lakers record since the trade and

67
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 1>the MAVs record since the trade, and the game's ad

68
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>has played versus the games that Lucas has played, and

69
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>obviously that has really wildly been in the Lakers favor

70
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and just about every way. You know, the injury plague

71
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>that has just hammered the Mavericks has just been absolutely brutal.

72
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 1>But you know, again, I was looking for tickets as

73
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 1>this thing, and the worst ticket in the lower bowls

74
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>going for about six hundred and fifty bucks. Damn.

75
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's a that's a high priced ticket, man,

76
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.560
<v Speaker 2>That is a I was that the way it was

77
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>for the finals.

78
00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Do y'all remember.

79
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>How much was one ticket in the lower bowl during

80
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>the Finals. Probably more, you think there's more thousand. Okay,

81
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>it's it's going it's gonna be so crazy. I just

82
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>don't think there's gonna be it. It's hard to articulate

83
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 2>what it's going to even be like because there's never

84
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>really been anything like this, Like even Lebron so Lebron

85
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 2>going back to Cleveland, for example, when he went to Miami. Well,

86
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland was bad, so they were a bottom. They were

87
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>a terrible team, and lebron chose to leave right and

88
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>he actually was from there. I don't I don't know

89
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>what this would even be, like, like what has ever

90
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>happened in sports that's like this?

91
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 1>And I you know, I I know you get this

92
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>every where you go.

93
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I still get it everywhere I go. What happened? Why

94
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 3>would the Mavericks do this?

95
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>And people are still scratching their heads and you still

96
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>get the conspiracy.

97
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 3>Is it because they're move the team to Vegas? Is

98
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 3>you know you had all this crazy?

99
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't make sense, but it's so stupid that no

100
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>one can make sense of it on just a regular

101
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 1>level of okay, because you would never trade him for that.

102
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 3>I would.

103
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 2>I would everyone recommend. I'm halfway through part two. I

104
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.439
<v Speaker 2>would have one recommend they go read our buddy mark

105
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Stein's substack.

106
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 3>He dropped.

107
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Uh so he's been doing these Luca Q and A's

108
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 2>and he dropped part five yesterday and part six today

109
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>and he's he's putting it out there, man.

110
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like this stuff. Help help paraphrase it for like,

111
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 1>explain what it is? What is he saying.

112
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, like, here's a whole section, so he'll have a header.

113
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>And this is what were Luca's last days as a Maverick, like,

114
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 2>and so he's going into the whole thinking of the

115
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 2>front office. After Luca got that injury on Christmas Day

116
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and what led up to that. It was his third

117
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>believe it years or fourth, and you know, they told

118
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>him in the offseason, hey, you need to come back

119
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 2>this certain way. And when he came back and wasn't

120
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>that way, they, according to Stein, they took it as

121
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 2>this guy didn't he's not gonna listen to us, so

122
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>we need to move on.

123
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Now.

124
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 2>That's a whole other thing than what they got for him.

125
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 2>And we've talked about all that, like, because it's so

126
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>rare that a guy is going to get what's called

127
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 2>a super max contract that the agent's going to get

128
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>involved and try to stop all that. So Let's people

129
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>are like, well, how come he kept it secret. It's like, okay,

130
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna trade Luca. Well then the agent gets involved

131
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.199
<v Speaker 2>and does everything he can to stop the trade. Oh,

132
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 2>you you want to trade for the Luca Lakers, Okay,

133
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I can guarantee you he'll never sign ever, he'll never

134
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.040
<v Speaker 2>sign if you do that deal. So go ahead, let's

135
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>see how it works out, and then then what are

136
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 2>you doing?

137
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:53.480
<v Speaker 4>You know?

138
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>And so it's like, I'm not saying I agree with Nico,

139
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>but that's it's not what people want to hear.

140
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 3>But that's why he did it that way.

141
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.600
<v Speaker 2>He didn't want the agent involved in a trade for

142
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>a guy that was going to be no longer eligible

143
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.079
<v Speaker 2>for the Supermax, which so few guys are eligible.

144
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Right, but he just low return. Again, I'm not saying.

145
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.000
<v Speaker 2>All I'm saying is here's the reason why you don't

146
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 2>have to agree with it, but this is the logic

147
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>that went into it. And if you want to read

148
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 2>how the front office got to where they got with Luca,

149
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Stein's pretty much putting.

150
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 3>It out here. Mm hmm.

151
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I would highly recommend you go read it. And the

152
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.639
<v Speaker 2>other thing too, is that it's it's not just it's

153
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 2>not just Luca. There's other people that have been removed

154
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>or left the organization on their own accord because things

155
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>have changed. This happens in every sport. We just haven't

156
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.720
<v Speaker 2>had it happen with the Mavericks since Cuban bought the

157
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>team from ross Pero junior. You know, Cubans operated the

158
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>team in such a unique matter for so long that

159
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 2>I can speak from my perspective, I took it for granted.

160
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I take it for granted how Mark Cuban operates.

161
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, He's like one of us, a passionate fan who

162
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>just happens to also be a billionaire.

163
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:09.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

164
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I would say that the way that the Mavericks are

165
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 2>operating now is how it seems like most major league

166
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>sports franchises run in North America, Like, it's a lot

167
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 2>more like this. The way the Mavericks are going about

168
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 2>it now is a lot more common. The Mavericks operated

169
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>like it was just a big family, you know, it

170
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 2>was Cuban's extended family. And there's a lot of people

171
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>that argue that is not the way to run a

172
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>sports franchise. But you know, I think what Maverick fans

173
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.399
<v Speaker 2>are feeling right now, they probably long for that quite

174
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>a bit.

175
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 1>So I wonder what that vibe is going to be

176
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>like on Wednesday Night, Like, are more people going to

177
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 1>be rooting for Luca than are rooting for the MAVs.

178
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I think get everyone in the building will be rooting

179
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>for Luca, including mav fans. Everyone will be rooting for Luca.

180
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 2>There will be times when the Mavericks do stuff well,

181
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 2>cheer for the people, cheer for that.

182
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 4>But the people that are just there for Luca will not.

183
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Let's get specific. Then one hundred to one hundred. Uh

184
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 4>what MAVs lead one oh one, one hundred. The Lakers

185
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 4>inbound the ball with three seconds left. Luca is shooting

186
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 4>a shot. What is going through the minds of twenty

187
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.840
<v Speaker 4>thousand people? Oh my god, I can't believe I'm here

188
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 4>at this moment. And then if the ball goes in,

189
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 4>it'll be the loudest cheer you've heard all What do

190
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 4>they want to happen? They want Luca to want to

191
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 4>They want him to make it, and the MAVs to lose. Yes,

192
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 4>ba iron the crap out of that. They don't want

193
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 4>the Mavericks to lose. They want Luca to make the shot.

194
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 4>I think there's a difference.

195
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 1>They would rather, They would rather Luca makes a shot

196
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and they still MAVs still win by one.

197
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Because they don't think they're gonna get that. I know, welcome.

198
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 1>His foot was on the line. K T all right,

199
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh coming up next, it's the big finish. This story

200
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>hits me hard. There's been a sausage recall. We'll discuss

201
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>next
