Speaker 4: Did I finally watch a show that Katie's been begging
Speaker 4: us to watch. We'll also talk a little Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 4: football as we're closing in on the NFL Draft. But
Speaker 4: probably the big story of the day continues to be
Speaker 4: the press conference yesterday that happened with Nico and Rick
Speaker 4: Welts for the Mavericks, and of course the Mavericks played
Speaker 4: basketball tonight in a play in the play in tournament,
Speaker 4: and so really that should be the focus, and it
Speaker 4: is a focus for a lot of people. But probably
Speaker 4: the biggest story in town is just the continuing fallout
Speaker 4: after the Luka dancicch trade and the timing of this
Speaker 4: press conference is fascinating, all of it. It's fascinating. But
Speaker 4: skin you poured through the transcript, did it change the
Speaker 4: way you felt about or the way you feel about
Speaker 4: any of it? Did it impact you by reading the transcript?
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say it changed the way I felt about it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: We had talked to a couple of people that were
Speaker 4: in the room, you know, and.
Speaker 2: So knew a little bit about that, and then had
Speaker 2: also read some of the the stuff that was coming
Speaker 2: out in articles as it was coming out now last night,
Speaker 2: and reading the full, you know, twenty eight page transcript,
Speaker 2: the one thing that stuck out to me.
Speaker 4: That was I guess maybe maybe made me feel different.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but the way that the guys that
Speaker 4: were in the room presented the Dirt Noovitchky stuff. I
Speaker 4: feel like it was a little disingenuous, unless there's something
Speaker 4: out there that I missed. How do you mean?
Speaker 2: Well, if if you saw like you you read us
Speaker 2: on air, Mark Cuban's tweet quote about the about Dirtnovitski
Speaker 2: and what he is, and it was based on a
Speaker 2: comment that Nico Harrison had answered a question about and
Speaker 2: I'm I don't have it in front of you, but
Speaker 2: him talking about if I made a decision that Dirt
Speaker 2: didn't like or that mav fans didn't like, and Cuban
Speaker 2: had this response to it, which was powerful, like we
Speaker 2: heard it on the air, is like damn, because he
Speaker 2: was like, Dirknovitsky is the Dallas Mavericks, you know, and
Speaker 2: so it's like when you hear it in that context,
Speaker 2: you're like, wow, that's crazy stuff. Well, when I went
Speaker 2: back and read the transcript that commed he made was
Speaker 2: five questions. It was a direct response to another question
Speaker 2: about Dirk that was a follow up question to this.
Speaker 2: I'll read you guys this right quick. Tell me if
Speaker 2: if how you feel like what you heard about Dirk, Yes, day.
Speaker 2: If you feel any different after hearing this had happened
Speaker 2: four questions earlier, Tim Cato said, originally this franchise's culture
Speaker 2: was built on Dirtnovitski, the guy with the statue outside.
Speaker 2: It seems clear he made clear there are various ways
Speaker 2: that he is not pleased with the direction that the
Speaker 2: franchise is going and some of the choices that you
Speaker 2: have made. Does that give you pause at all? And
Speaker 2: here is Nico's response, Well, let's be clear, Dirtnavitsky is
Speaker 2: the most important person in the franchise history, and that's
Speaker 2: why he's immortalized outside. In terms of how he feels,
Speaker 2: that's a question for him. But Dirk is super important
Speaker 2: to this franchise. Any role, big or small that he
Speaker 2: wants to play, he'll be met with open arms. And
Speaker 2: you know Dirk is he's the greatest MAVs ever. And
Speaker 2: so I didn't see that out there anywhere. All I
Speaker 2: saw was, well, if I made a decision Dirk or
Speaker 2: Mavericks fans don't like, I'm sorry, I have an obligation
Speaker 2: to the team.
Speaker 4: I assumed we could only assume that it had there
Speaker 4: was a question that involved Dirk in it. It doesn't
Speaker 4: change the way I feel because I assumed that yesterday,
Speaker 4: and I just don't know that I believe that. I
Speaker 4: don't know. I just think like the only way out
Speaker 4: of this from a PR standpoint is if you somehow
Speaker 4: can convince Dirk to be involved. I don't know that
Speaker 4: Dirk would want to be, and I don't know that
Speaker 4: he has time to be He's I don't want to
Speaker 4: speak for him, but I just know like as a consumer,
Speaker 4: as the fan, I would think that anything that Dirk
Speaker 4: signs off on if it would be fan approved, right,
Speaker 4: even if they were like yes, even if they were
Speaker 4: like Dirk's the one who traded Luke, You're like, Okay, Dirk,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I'm not saying that happen.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying they desperately. Look they it's they can
Speaker 4: can't say anything right now to win. The only thing
Speaker 4: that's gonna make Nico or the MAVs or anyone in
Speaker 4: this deal look better or help in any way is
Speaker 4: to go win basketball games. And they can't win basketball
Speaker 4: right games right now because they're because Kyrie's gone. Yeah
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Yeah, right, I totally you
Speaker 4: under se what I'm saying. I'm saying they could win
Speaker 4: tonight their rosters compromised by a devastating injury. Yes, But
Speaker 4: if they had, if they had played like they played
Speaker 4: in the one half they had with Anthony Davis and
Speaker 4: they were now one of the best teams in the
Speaker 4: West Western Conference that into the playoffs, the fervor and
Speaker 4: the pitch would be way different. It wouldn't be people
Speaker 4: yelling fire and Nico would be like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: we might win it all this year. I'm not saying
Speaker 4: that anyone would agree with the trade because they didn't
Speaker 4: get the fair return on the trade, but it would
Speaker 4: make it a lot harder to be chanting fire Nico
Speaker 4: if you have one of the best teams in the
Speaker 4: Western con That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I just think the the the there's going to be people,
Speaker 2: no matter what the team is doing, that will not
Speaker 2: forgive them, and that is their right and that. But
Speaker 2: if if the Mavericks are the two seed and they're
Speaker 2: waxing teams, some guy in the arena chanting fire and
Speaker 2: Niko is gonna be like, shut up, dumbass, right, you know,
Speaker 2: because the team is kicking ass. The team is not
Speaker 2: in a position to kick any ass because their best
Speaker 2: player or second best player that serves a specific role
Speaker 2: that nobody else can do, won't be back till February
Speaker 2: of next year.
Speaker 4: And that was another thing.
Speaker 2: You know, Nico acknowledged that the off season is going
Speaker 2: to be about trying to find a style of player
Speaker 2: that can replace Kyrie's production until he's back. So from
Speaker 2: a basketball standpoint, he did talk about that, But man,
Speaker 2: where do you find that guy? That's that's really difficult?
Speaker 2: Did you did you read the transcript or hear any of.
Speaker 4: That lesson team? I did not. That's news to me.
Speaker 4: That's interesting. Does it make you feel any different? No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I didn't just even the news that you had.
Speaker 3: I really wanted yesterday to be about Kyrie's comments about
Speaker 3: moving forward and being and loving being a Maverick. And
Speaker 3: I don't think dude, I doubt Nico and the guys
Speaker 3: in charge. I doubt they even know that Kyrie did
Speaker 3: a live stream that where he settled a bunch of
Speaker 3: very positive things about moving forward. Like Kyrie went on
Speaker 3: a live stream that probably not that many people watched
Speaker 3: and got everyone's back in the organization.
Speaker 4: And then they did that. Yeah, and Tim McMahon is
Speaker 4: making the rounds. Obviously he was the straw that stirs
Speaker 4: the drink, as he often is. In fact, coming up
Speaker 4: after this song, let's talk about how everyone has Tim
Speaker 4: McMahon all wrong and we can talk about that. Don't
Speaker 4: go anywhere. This is coming up in about three and
Speaker 4: a half minutes on The Beninskin Show.
