00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the best of the best, you need to know about Andrews.

7
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Readers of the Dallas Morry News said it was the

8
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>best pizza in all of DFW that speaks volumes. If

9
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>that's not enough to get you out there to try Andrews,

10
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>what are you waiting for. They've mastered five different types

11
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>of pizza. If you like Detroit, New York, whatever it is,

12
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>they got it. They've mastered it. That's why again. Readers

13
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Dallas Morry News said they are the best

14
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>awesome craft beer selection they got Pasta Salagy named it.

15
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>It's a phenomenal restaurant Andrews American Pizza Kitchen in Plano, Texas.

16
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>But right now stop for this, reach down and grab

17
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>a couple of plump tomatoes. It's time for sport to

18
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 1>catch up.

19
00:00:51.039 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Catcher catchup, puns, sports, sports catchup, catchup pauns all. All right,

20
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 2>five o'clock hour is the money hour, and that is

21
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 2>why NBA free agency is happening. It's not as chaotic

22
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 2>as it's been in the past, they think, because not

23
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 2>a ton of teams have like boatloads of cap space

24
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>and things like that. But here is what we know

25
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>in terms of the Mavericks. The Mavericks are highly expected

26
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 2>to be signing D'Angelo Russell today. I don't know when

27
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>it will be official, actually, because it's just kind of

28
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the period that's opening up. Two at twelve I've seen

29
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>thrown around. Does that sound right to you, Jeff skin Wade.

30
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the right because the first year salary will

31
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>be five point seven million dollars on something that they

32
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 1>call the mid level exception for tax teams. So that's

33
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>we know that they can't sign them for more than that.

34
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 1>That's what that number is going to be, and then

35
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 1>they just go from there. It'll be a two year

36
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>deal and so there's a little bit of a kick

37
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the next year and that's what gets you to the

38
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>two years at twelve. I don't mind it. It's not

39
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 1>a huge amount of money and it's a guy who

40
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 1>definitely can score he can run the offense. It's you know,

41
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>to a degree in tel Kapak and then settle into

42
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of just being a role player when Kai gets back.

43
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I would have preferred maybe somebody who was,

44
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, better defensively or what have you. But

45
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>there were times where that offense absolutely bogged without Kyrie. Yeah,

46
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>and so having a guy who can straight fill it

47
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>up if needed, I can see why they leaned that way. Yeah,

48
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know, last year it was kind of a

49
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>washout for Russell. You know, he was traded to a

50
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 1>bad team that was tanking, so you don't want to

51
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>put you know, he's a Laker, and then got traded

52
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and so you look at what he did in Boston.

53
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 1>All right, So he shot twenty nine percent from three.

54
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>He's not a twenty nine percent three point shooter. He's

55
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a career thirty six percent three point shooter. And when

56
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>he's on the floor with other really good guy Like

57
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>he's a good offensive player, I don't find him to

58
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>be a particular efficient offensive player. I also think that

59
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>calling him an adequate defender would be more than generous.

60
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>But not everybody on your team is going to have

61
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 1>all the skills that you need and at the price

62
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>that they're getting him for. You know, last year, let

63
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 1>me look it up. I bet he made twenty million

64
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>dollars last year. Has anybody seen what his last contract was,

65
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I've got it right here. Yeah, last year he made

66
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>eighteen point six million dollars. So he's making a third

67
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>of what he was making. So a couple things. One

68
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 1>that tells you what the market is for him at

69
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>this point in his life. He's twenty nine or thirty

70
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>or however old he is. And two, you know you're

71
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about adding a complimentary player. It's just the Mavericks

72
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>are in such a unique situation that they you know,

73
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>they they need someone until Kyrie gets back. The one

74
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>thing that I would say, we'll see how it goes

75
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see how he adapts. But remember, I mean,

76
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Jason Kidd chose to just not play Spencer Dinwoodie in

77
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 1>a quote unquote playoff game.

78
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 2>And I would say that.

79
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 1>They're very similar players in terms of how they approach basketball.

80
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I would say D'Angelo Russell's a more consistent offensive player

81
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>than Dinwoody. Dinwoody, He's a bigger player and can do

82
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>more different things than Russell can do. But I guess

83
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>my point is is that if you're not liking what

84
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>if kid's not liking what's happening, he gonna sit your ass.

85
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think they went this direction instead of

86
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>forty year old Chris Paul. I don't think Chris Paul

87
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted to come here.

88
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

89
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Everything I've read about Chris Paul is that so his

90
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>kids are teenagers, they live in LA I bet he's

91
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up being a Phoenix Sun or a Los

92
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 1>Angeles Clipper, and so all things being equal, I mean, dude,

93
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>he knows there ain't no guarantees. He got to the

94
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 1>finals and they had it won before they GotY honest.

95
00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's gonna go down in the category of

96
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Karl Malone, John Stockton, and Charles Barkley. Is one of

97
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the greatest all time players to never get a ring,

98
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and it happens Patrick Ewing, happens to those guys. But

99
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 1>I think he probably just looked as man, there's no

100
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>guarantees of anything. I'd rather just go hang out with

101
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 1>my kids. Do you see them doing anything trade wise

102
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>or could you see them? Is it likely there's a

103
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>rumor going around that they're gonna move Omas to clear

104
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>up the space and the roster spot to keep Dante

105
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>XHM and I like that Dante. I would have zero

106
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>problems with Dante exam starting. The problem is that he

107
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>plays thirty games a year because he's hurt, right. I

108
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>heard there was talking of him just going and playing

109
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>full time in Europe. Yeah, because I think he could

110
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>have made more money there, and so I had written

111
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 1>him off. But if Stein's reporting it, it's a well

112
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 1>placed source. And then I also think, you know, let's

113
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>see how things shake out. But they have you know what,

114
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>if you start looking at quote unquote aggregating contracts, you

115
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>know the name that everybody throws up there is Kaylee Martin.

116
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 1>Caleb Martin's got three years left on his deal. That's

117
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a difficult player to move. But they can aggregate some contracts.

118
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But the point they're at once they sign d'angela Russell,

119
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>they have to take back way less money than they

120
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 1>send out. So it just becomes increasingly difficult. But I

121
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>think they look at it as Cooper Flag will be

122
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>a playmaker, D'angela Russell will be a playmaker. Maybe we

123
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>can keep an xum type until Kyrie Irving gets back

124
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>all right, coming up in just over three minutes in
