<v Speaker 4>and Kevin kt Turner. All hands on deck today for

16
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 4>what's gonna be a fun, fun presentation. Glad to have

17
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 4>you pulling up a chair with us today. Lots to

18
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 4>get into in the presentation. I'm going up at three thirty.

19
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 4>Did I finally watch a show that Katie's been begging

20
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 4>us to watch. We'll also talk a little Dallas Cowboys

21
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.799
<v Speaker 4>football as we're closing in on the NFL Draft. But

22
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 4>probably the big story of the day continues to be

23
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 4>the press conference yesterday that happened with Nico and Rick

24
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 4>Welts for the Mavericks, and of course the Mavericks played

25
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 4>basketball tonight in a play in the play in tournament,

26
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 4>and so really that should be the focus, and it

27
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 4>is a focus for a lot of people. But probably

28
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 4>the biggest story in town is just the continuing fallout

29
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 4>after the Luka dancicch trade and the timing of this

30
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 4>press conference is fascinating, all of it. It's fascinating. But

31
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 4>skin you poured through the transcript, did it change the

32
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 4>way you felt about or the way you feel about

33
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.480
<v Speaker 4>any of it? Did it impact you by reading the transcript?

34
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't say it changed the way I felt about it.

35
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 1>You know.

36
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 4>We had talked to a couple of people that were

37
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 4>in the room, you know, and.

38
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>So knew a little bit about that, and then had

39
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>also read some of the the stuff that was coming

40
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 2>out in articles as it was coming out now last night,

41
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>and reading the full, you know, twenty eight page transcript,

42
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the one thing that stuck out to me.

43
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 4>That was I guess maybe maybe made me feel different.

44
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, but the way that the guys that

45
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 4>were in the room presented the Dirt Noovitchky stuff. I

46
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 4>feel like it was a little disingenuous, unless there's something

47
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 4>out there that I missed. How do you mean?

48
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, if if you saw like you you read us

49
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 2>on air, Mark Cuban's tweet quote about the about Dirtnovitski

50
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and what he is, and it was based on a

51
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>comment that Nico Harrison had answered a question about and

52
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm I don't have it in front of you, but

53
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 2>him talking about if I made a decision that Dirt

54
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't like or that mav fans didn't like, and Cuban

55
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>had this response to it, which was powerful, like we

56
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>heard it on the air, is like damn, because he

57
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>was like, Dirknovitsky is the Dallas Mavericks, you know, and

58
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 2>so it's like when you hear it in that context,

59
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>you're like, wow, that's crazy stuff. Well, when I went

60
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 2>back and read the transcript that commed he made was

61
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>five questions. It was a direct response to another question

62
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 2>about Dirk that was a follow up question to this.

63
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll read you guys this right quick. Tell me if

64
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 2>if how you feel like what you heard about Dirk, Yes, day.

65
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 2>If you feel any different after hearing this had happened

66
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 2>four questions earlier, Tim Cato said, originally this franchise's culture

67
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>was built on Dirtnovitski, the guy with the statue outside.

68
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>It seems clear he made clear there are various ways

69
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>that he is not pleased with the direction that the

70
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>franchise is going and some of the choices that you

71
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>have made. Does that give you pause at all? And

72
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 2>here is Nico's response, Well, let's be clear, Dirtnavitsky is

73
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>the most important person in the franchise history, and that's

74
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>why he's immortalized outside. In terms of how he feels,

75
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>that's a question for him. But Dirk is super important

76
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>to this franchise. Any role, big or small that he

77
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 2>wants to play, he'll be met with open arms. And

78
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>you know Dirk is he's the greatest MAVs ever. And

79
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't see that out there anywhere. All I

80
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>saw was, well, if I made a decision Dirk or

81
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Mavericks fans don't like, I'm sorry, I have an obligation

82
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 2>to the team.

83
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 4>I assumed we could only assume that it had there

84
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 4>was a question that involved Dirk in it. It doesn't

85
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 4>change the way I feel because I assumed that yesterday,

86
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 4>and I just don't know that I believe that. I

87
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 4>don't know. I just think like the only way out

88
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 4>of this from a PR standpoint is if you somehow

89
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 4>can convince Dirk to be involved. I don't know that

90
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Dirk would want to be, and I don't know that

91
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 4>he has time to be He's I don't want to

92
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 4>speak for him, but I just know like as a consumer,

93
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 4>as the fan, I would think that anything that Dirk

94
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 4>signs off on if it would be fan approved, right,

95
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 4>even if they were like yes, even if they were

96
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 4>like Dirk's the one who traded Luke, You're like, Okay, Dirk,

97
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean. I'm not saying that happen.

98
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 4>I'm just saying they desperately. Look they it's they can

99
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 4>can't say anything right now to win. The only thing

100
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 4>that's gonna make Nico or the MAVs or anyone in

101
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 4>this deal look better or help in any way is

102
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 4>to go win basketball games. And they can't win basketball

103
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 4>right games right now because they're because Kyrie's gone. Yeah

104
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean? Yeah, right, I totally you

105
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 4>under se what I'm saying. I'm saying they could win

106
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 4>tonight their rosters compromised by a devastating injury. Yes, But

107
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 4>if they had, if they had played like they played

108
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 4>in the one half they had with Anthony Davis and

109
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 4>they were now one of the best teams in the

110
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 4>West Western Conference that into the playoffs, the fervor and

111
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 4>the pitch would be way different. It wouldn't be people

112
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 4>yelling fire and Nico would be like, oh my god,

113
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 4>we might win it all this year. I'm not saying

114
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 4>that anyone would agree with the trade because they didn't

115
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 4>get the fair return on the trade, but it would

116
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 4>make it a lot harder to be chanting fire Nico

117
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 4>if you have one of the best teams in the

118
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 4>Western con That's all I'm saying.

119
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I just think the the the there's going to be people,

120
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>no matter what the team is doing, that will not

121
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 2>forgive them, and that is their right and that. But

122
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 2>if if the Mavericks are the two seed and they're

123
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>waxing teams, some guy in the arena chanting fire and

124
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Niko is gonna be like, shut up, dumbass, right, you know,

125
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>because the team is kicking ass. The team is not

126
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>in a position to kick any ass because their best

127
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 2>player or second best player that serves a specific role

128
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>that nobody else can do, won't be back till February

129
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 2>of next year.

130
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 4>And that was another thing.

131
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, Nico acknowledged that the off season is going

132
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 2>to be about trying to find a style of player

133
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 2>that can replace Kyrie's production until he's back. So from

134
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 2>a basketball standpoint, he did talk about that, But man,

135
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>where do you find that guy? That's that's really difficult?

136
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Did you did you read the transcript or hear any of.

137
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 4>That lesson team? I did not. That's news to me.

138
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 4>That's interesting. Does it make you feel any different? No?

139
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I didn't just even the news that you had.

140
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.319
<v Speaker 3>I really wanted yesterday to be about Kyrie's comments about

141
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 3>moving forward and being and loving being a Maverick. And

142
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't think dude, I doubt Nico and the guys

143
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.199
<v Speaker 3>in charge. I doubt they even know that Kyrie did

144
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 3>a live stream that where he settled a bunch of

145
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 3>very positive things about moving forward. Like Kyrie went on

146
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 3>a live stream that probably not that many people watched

147
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 3>and got everyone's back in the organization.

148
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 4>And then they did that. Yeah, and Tim McMahon is

149
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 4>making the rounds. Obviously he was the straw that stirs

150
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.399
