Speaker 3: Van McMahon.
Speaker 2: Van McMahon.
Speaker 1: Then gonna help you fill out your brackets today. Ken Pomeroy,
Speaker 1: the legend himself Kenpalm dot com is live in studio
Speaker 1: during the four o'clock hour. We're gonna go region by region.
Speaker 1: We'll previews some of the local stuff and get Ken's
Speaker 1: reaction on the hiring of Alex Jensen, which became official yesterday.
Speaker 1: Excuse me on Monday, I was there. Should know Chris
Speaker 1: Comaraddie from the Athletic later on. But there is a
Speaker 1: massive game tonight here in Salt Lake City at the
Speaker 1: Delta Center as Washington rolls into town to take on
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz.
Speaker 3: Our next guest covers the Jazz.
Speaker 1: And the NBA as a whole, and Tim McMahon, If
Speaker 1: Wizards Jazz can't get you to Salt Lake, I don't
Speaker 1: know what to do, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I would say if things go the Jazz
Speaker 2: is way tonight and then again in the lottery, I'll
Speaker 2: probably make it a lot of trips to Slick City
Speaker 2: next season.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, there you go. So what
Speaker 1: what are we expecting?
Speaker 3: Tonight? The Jazz released injury report.
Speaker 1: Lowry is out with quote personal reasons, Walker is available,
Speaker 1: John Collins out. Neither of these teams obviously want to
Speaker 1: win this basketball game. They're both stuck on fifteen fifteen wins.
Speaker 1: The Jazz have two more losses than Washington. But what
Speaker 1: sort of game are we in for here in Salt Lake?
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy. The Wizards actually haven't been playing
Speaker 2: terrible basketball, no true, since the trade deadline, and they
Speaker 2: got a couple of vets in there. They got Chris Middleton,
Speaker 2: they got Marcus Smart. How about the Wizards sweeping the
Speaker 2: season series with the Denver Nuggets. It's incredible, But like
Speaker 2: they made up some and they were in danger of
Speaker 2: like historically horrendous territory, and you know, there is kind
Speaker 2: of thing of like do you want to have lose
Speaker 2: and just seep into every pore of the culture of
Speaker 2: the franchise and those habits, and so they've been playing
Speaker 2: better basketball, but tonight, you know, obviously this is a
Speaker 2: this is a tanker to loser type of game. And
Speaker 2: I don't know that it's one that I would purchase
Speaker 2: tickets to see. Perhaps some you know, lean pass drive
Speaker 2: bys just for comedic, comedic reasons, you know, listen. I
Speaker 2: enjoy the Walker Kessler really leaning into the player development
Speaker 2: aspect there, and maybe he can get up ten or
Speaker 2: twelve threes to night eleven in the last two games
Speaker 2: after I think six all season before that, something like that.
Speaker 2: So I enjoyed, you know, Walker Kesler Stretch five.
Speaker 1: That's gotta be the Jazz trolling the NBA right after
Speaker 1: they find them for city and marketing. They're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna find us, we're just gonna let let
Speaker 1: our big guys shoot threes all game.
Speaker 2: Well, I was controlling the NBA, don't I don't know
Speaker 2: that that's that's aggressive. What I would say about it
Speaker 2: in all seriousness is this Walker works on his threes
Speaker 2: every single day. He would love to be a Brook
Speaker 2: Lopez type of Stretch five, And at this point in
Speaker 2: the season, I would say there's no downside and letting
Speaker 2: him fire away. Maybe he stumbles into something and becomes
Speaker 2: comfortable and it's actually a tool in his tool belt
Speaker 2: at some point moving forward, certainly he's likely to do
Speaker 2: something like go one of eleven from three point range
Speaker 2: over two games that quite frankly, are in their best
Speaker 2: interest to lose. So there's not a downside there. But
Speaker 2: it is like he it's not like, you know, the
Speaker 2: guy's never walked out to the three point line and
Speaker 2: fired one up. He does it every single day. I
Speaker 2: mean he's trying to develop that, so you know, give
Speaker 2: him a shot. Hey, I remember when the Mavericks are
Speaker 2: tanking trying to get Luca suddenly Solemn Measure. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you remember the mah wow, but but Solid
Speaker 2: Measury was firing up some threes. And the funniest thing
Speaker 2: is there was a total tank up to lose a
Speaker 2: game late in that season in Memphis, and the Mavericks
Speaker 2: will want it because Solid Measuring got hot from three
Speaker 2: point rate.
Speaker 1: That's a good pull. I haven't heard that name in
Speaker 1: a while. And you know, like Walker has a decent stroke.
Speaker 1: It's not like I can remember the Jazz used to
Speaker 1: every preseason there would be a video on social media
Speaker 1: of like go Bear hitting a corner three, and they'd
Speaker 1: be like, hey, stay tuned.
Speaker 3: I'm like, don't do that.
Speaker 1: Like that's not like you like, don't do that with Rudy.
Speaker 1: But Walker actually has a decent stroke, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. It doesn't look like it's aesthetically unpleasing, it's
Speaker 1: pretty fundamentally sound. Maybe someday he can develop it to
Speaker 1: a point where occasionally when it makes he'll be able
Speaker 1: to knock one down.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, unfortunately, the counterpoint to that would be
Speaker 2: he's not a good free throw shooter. That's typically guys
Speaker 2: who are able to stretch their range out. It's like, hey,
Speaker 2: they're good free throw shooters, and then you know that
Speaker 2: that's an indication that's the three point ball is a possibility. However,
Speaker 2: you know, I mentioned brook Lopez. Brook Lopez was a
Speaker 2: prototypical back to the basket score for the first half
Speaker 2: of his career. It wasn't until Kenny Atkinson got to
Speaker 2: Brooklyn pretty deep into Brooks time. There was his last
Speaker 2: season in Brooklyn. I believe that he started marching his
Speaker 2: butt out to the three point line and firing away
Speaker 2: and then they just leaned all the way into it.
Speaker 2: You know. A couple of siths later for him when
Speaker 2: he got to Milwaukee, and now he's like the epitome
Speaker 2: of a rim protecting stretch five, which I mean, that's
Speaker 2: absolutely a new archetype of big man in the NBA.
Speaker 2: And if you've got a guy who can protect the
Speaker 2: rim and then you have to guard him on the
Speaker 2: three point line, like, that's a big time weapon. I
Speaker 2: don't I don't think it's necessarily likely that Kesler becomes that,
Speaker 2: But why not, like, at least at this point of
Speaker 2: the season, when you know you're trying to stacking lottery
Speaker 2: house as high as possible, why not lean all the
Speaker 2: way into it?
Speaker 3: For sure?
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, you know, try whatever you
Speaker 1: need to try, because we all know what time it is.
Speaker 1: But since I referenced the Jazz being fined tim for
Speaker 1: city marketing, can you help us understand this? I mean,
Speaker 1: ultimately it feels like teams sit players every single night
Speaker 1: and star players every single night.
Speaker 3: We like, why the Jazz? Why would larry what happened here?
Speaker 2: Because it was an extraordinarily aggressive, uh tanking measure? And
Speaker 2: there's if we're being real honest, this is three straight
Speaker 2: years this time that the Jazz were extraordinarily aggressive with
Speaker 2: tanking measures. I mean, that's the simplest reason. And then
Speaker 2: what was it like nine straightnesss correct. Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 2: so look, I mean, let's just be real. It was
Speaker 2: pretty flagrant violation of the player participation policy, and so
Speaker 2: they had them with one hundred thousand dollars fine. And look,
Speaker 2: if you end up with Cooper flag, you'd pay ten
Speaker 2: million dollars in fines to get there. So, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it's not pretty, it's not fun, but it is
Speaker 2: in the best interest in the Jazz to be tanking aggressively,
Speaker 2: and the league called them out on it because what
Speaker 2: they were doing marketing it was pretty flagrant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's no no debate as far as how,
Speaker 1: you know, how they were handling it. It just feels
Speaker 1: like it happens across the landscape of the league. So
Speaker 1: I don't know, I thought it was odd that they
Speaker 1: on the Jazz.
Speaker 2: Well, but there's been an investigation in Philly. They're investigating.
Speaker 2: I mean, they investigated the player participation policy violations for
Speaker 2: the Oklahoma City Thunder, the number one seed in the
Speaker 2: Western Conference, for a game that they won by double
Speaker 2: figures because Portland despite sitting there like top six players.
Speaker 2: So it's not only the Jazz. But again, I really
Speaker 2: like the real honest answer is the Jazz have been
Speaker 2: pretty aggressive tankers, at least late season in each of
Speaker 2: the last three years. I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 2: I've told you this before, but when the Mavericks tanked
Speaker 2: the last couple of games a couple of years ago,
Speaker 2: when they had that top ten protected pick and post
Speaker 2: Kyrie trade, like, things did not go well and they
Speaker 2: couldn't win, and they're at a point where, hey, they
Speaker 2: had a small chance of being a playing team. But
Speaker 2: the most likely scenario that have kept their foot on
Speaker 2: the gas was they land the eleventh pick, which would
Speaker 2: have gone to New York. So they tanked. You know,
Speaker 2: I called the League office and I'm talking to make
Speaker 2: the League office and I'm like, hey, like, are you
Speaker 2: guys gonna make any kind of comments? They're going to
Speaker 2: be a kind of punishment. And this person said, have
Speaker 2: you called me about the Jazz? And my response was,
Speaker 2: has Ryan Smith been fine six hundred one thousand recently
Speaker 2: for publicly discussing tanking measures? Has that happened in the
Speaker 2: last few years? And so you know, the Mattericks will
Speaker 2: repeat violators of flagrant tanking and you know had actually
Speaker 2: been fined before. And this is the first time, and look,
Speaker 2: one hundred grand is a slap on the wrist. Let's
Speaker 2: just be real. But they got slapped on the risk
Speaker 2: and because they've been very aggressive over multiple years now.
Speaker 1: So you reference something with Washington, the concern of allowing,
Speaker 1: you know, losing to permeate throughout the culture of your organization.
Speaker 1: And with Washington, we're a little late for that conversation.
Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, that organization. Whenever Jazz fans getting
Speaker 1: their feelings, I'm like, dude, you look around the league
Speaker 1: for a little bit, namely Washington. But I always believed
Speaker 1: tim when there's a team that has leaned into simply
Speaker 1: losing consistently. While I understand and agree with oftentimes the approach,
Speaker 1: there has to be a little bit of a danger
Speaker 1: for the Kyle Philipowskis and the Isaiah Colliers and the
Speaker 1: Caante George's the world to get.
Speaker 3: Accustomed to this.
Speaker 1: Now, what I will say is the past month, month
Speaker 1: and a half, there have been several games where the
Speaker 1: Jazz have been close at the end against good teams,
Speaker 1: which I think is valuable experience. But is there is
Speaker 1: there a danger to leaning into this when you are
Speaker 1: trying to develop young players and teaching them how to
Speaker 1: be professionals.
Speaker 2: Well, there absolutely is. And that's why I think that
Speaker 2: this is an extraordinarily tough task for Will Hardy because ultimately,
Speaker 2: like he's responsible for establishing the standards and the you
Speaker 2: know what's unacceptable and you know, really instilled in the
Speaker 2: kind of culture that he wants. And look, let's like
Speaker 2: that's why you know, there have been instances, for example,
Speaker 2: where he's publicly called out the complete lack of effort
Speaker 2: defensively and young players have lost minutes because uh, you know,
Speaker 2: they haven't had the level of the acceptable effort defensively.
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a it's a really no pun
Speaker 2: intended to kind of a no win situation, uh for
Speaker 2: a coach. But the challenge is you understand the organizational
Speaker 2: uh path right, and you've got to get high in
Speaker 2: talent to ever have any chance of getting that thing
Speaker 2: turned around. And you get what the easiest way to
Speaker 2: get there is. But you just can't let bad losing
Speaker 2: habits seep in. And and you know, honestly, that was
Speaker 2: a huge issue in Houston during their three years of
Speaker 2: blatant tanking after the James Barden trade. You know, Emiodoko
Speaker 2: was able to come in and fix those problems really quickly.
Speaker 2: You know, I do think that Will Hardy's got a
Speaker 2: very bright future as a head coach. I do think
Speaker 2: that he has a level of authority, uh and and
Speaker 2: respect in that lockeroman. And the other thing is like, hey,
Speaker 2: if these guys don't live up to those standards, they
Speaker 2: won't be there very long. And so if they if
Speaker 2: they don't respect what he's trying to, you know, the
Speaker 2: standards he's trying to enforce, then you know, they'll probably
Speaker 2: be looking for a job somewhere else.
Speaker 1: Sarah Todd des Red News, friend of the Show, wrote
Speaker 1: a piece last week that has received a lot of traction,
Speaker 1: and we talked about it with her on the show,
Speaker 1: and essentially it felt like she was talking to somebody
Speaker 1: at the organization, and I think she probably was.
Speaker 3: That has now kind of coined the term of uh.
Speaker 1: The last three years were a tear down and the
Speaker 1: rebuild starts now.
Speaker 3: All right, Like I, you know, you and I have
Speaker 3: talked about I've.
Speaker 2: Got a pretty good idea who she takes to go
Speaker 2: on fair.
Speaker 1: Enough, fair enough, And I guess that's a spin you
Speaker 1: can put on the situation three years later when you
Speaker 1: didn't handle it the right way from the start, is
Speaker 1: my opinion on that.
Speaker 3: But if the rebuild starts.
Speaker 1: Now, tim, does it feel like next year is going
Speaker 1: to feel a lot like this year?
Speaker 2: You know what? I think that depends on a lot
Speaker 2: of factors. And frankly, one of those factors is do
Speaker 2: they win the lottery? And if so, the second factor
Speaker 2: would be how ready is Cooper Flag to make an
Speaker 2: immediate impact? You know? Now, look, are there is there
Speaker 2: going to be like some massive jump and wins next year?
Speaker 2: Are they going to you know, be a sixth seed
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference? I mean highly unlikely. But again,
Speaker 2: if if Cooper Flag is as good immediately as people
Speaker 2: think he might be, who knows, yeah, And then like
Speaker 2: say they win the lottery, how do they approach the
Speaker 2: rest of the summer? You know? Are they are they
Speaker 2: aggressive to kind of get veterans in there, to put
Speaker 2: a you know, realistic competitive team on the court. Stranger
Speaker 2: things have happened. The Deroit business won fourteen games last year.
Speaker 2: They're in sixth place in the Eastern Conference right now.
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying it's impossible. I am saying one
Speaker 2: the West is a lot tougher than the East and two,
Speaker 2: you know, the for that reason and others, it's it's
Speaker 2: pretty unlikely, you know, typically rebuilds our multiple year processes.
Speaker 1: So interesting though, because according to what Sarah Road, let's
Speaker 1: operate off the fun hypothetical that Lady Luck shines on
Speaker 1: us here in Salt Lake in a way that it
Speaker 1: hasn't so far in the jazz.
Speaker 3: It's wild.
Speaker 1: The Jazz have only been a lottery nine times, but
Speaker 1: they've had nine chances. They've never moved up outside of
Speaker 1: a trade that they've made. That's how they got d Will.
Speaker 1: But if it actually goes down and Cooper Flag is
Speaker 1: a jazz man, Sarah kind of pontificated on the possibility
Speaker 1: of actually that being the start of the timeline for
Speaker 1: what they're trying to build, meaning do you move on
Speaker 1: from Lowry now that you're going to be able to
Speaker 1: once this offseason comes down, do you even considering move
Speaker 1: on from Walker Kessler? Which pontificated about in her piece
Speaker 1: for the d News, like if they get the prize
Speaker 1: of Cooper Flag. The tone and tenor of the piece was, Okay,
Speaker 1: now we start our rebuild and maybe we move on
Speaker 1: from everyone, because Tim, if we're honest, outside of Lowry
Speaker 1: and Walker, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just don't. I think there are a moment good
Speaker 3: go good.
Speaker 2: I would say it's fair to say you don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's premature to say, you know, none of
Speaker 2: these guys can be contributors to a competitive team.
Speaker 3: Oh sure, I wasn't saying that now, But.
Speaker 2: Look like the Lowry thing, Hey, you've got to consider
Speaker 2: all options. And if you're building around me, slide is
Speaker 2: going to be eighteen next season, so like prominably unlikely
Speaker 2: that he's going to be able to drive winning right away.
Speaker 2: And like, you know, I think you have to be
Speaker 2: open mind to do all possibilities, and you have to
Speaker 2: just like they did last summer, Lowry, you have to
Speaker 2: be willing to listen to conversations. You know, you have
Speaker 2: to be, you know, even willing to begin conversations, to
Speaker 2: initiate conversations. He's not untouchable. You can't. You know, you
Speaker 2: can't win fifteen, sixteen, seventeen games and consider somebody untouchable. Now,
Speaker 2: having said that, I would be pretty hesitant to move
Speaker 2: Walker Kessler because he's twenty three years old. He's going
Speaker 2: to be you know, he's the type of guy who
Speaker 2: I think can be a high, high, high quality role
Speaker 2: player on a good team. And I think he's got
Speaker 2: at least a decade long runway in front of him.
Speaker 2: And again we're basing this on like they win the lottery.
Speaker 2: It's Cooper Flagg, who's supposed to be just a potential,
Speaker 2: like tremendous impact defensive player, like a like a andre
Speaker 2: Kirolinko type of defender. You know, if you have that
Speaker 2: type of defender with one of the two or three
Speaker 2: best rim protectors in the league, that's the you know,
Speaker 2: the foundation of potentially an elite or an elite defense.
Speaker 2: For a long time, the asking price was very high
Speaker 2: for Walker Kesspher, you know, even going back to last
Speaker 2: summer when people thought the Jazz might be down on me,
Speaker 2: maybe he could be at for a discount. And I
Speaker 2: don't see any reason that would change were.
Speaker 1: They ever close moving on from Walker, either last offseason
Speaker 1: or prior to the trade deadline this year.
Speaker 2: That's to my knowledge, I've not heard, you know, I
Speaker 2: know there's been a lot of teams that have inquired
Speaker 2: about him. I to my knowledge, there's never been anything
Speaker 2: that was a serious consideration.
Speaker 3: So let me revisit what I said.
Speaker 1: And I didn't mean to imply that none of these
Speaker 1: guys are ever going to turn out. I just very
Speaker 1: much have questions about all of them. But if I
Speaker 1: removed Lowry, and if I removed Walker from the equation,
Speaker 1: who do you think, based off of what you've seen,
Speaker 1: has a chance to be here when they are good again.
Speaker 2: Well, unfortunately, we barely have seen Taylor Hendriws and you know,
Speaker 2: we'll see if he's even ready for training camp next year.
Speaker 2: I know they're very encouraged by the progress that he
Speaker 2: made last summer after a tough rookie season for a
Speaker 2: kid who was a teenager at the time. You know,
Speaker 2: Isaiah Collier has has definitely had stretches of really endearing
Speaker 2: himself to Will Hardy this season. You know, Keante George
Speaker 2: is in some ways it's kind of like Walker, where
Speaker 2: the second season has been disappointing. I think he's more
Speaker 2: of a you know, of a Jordan Clarkson then he
Speaker 2: is a Darren Williams. You know, I don't think he's
Speaker 2: ever going to be a league art for somebody. Can
Speaker 2: he be a benchbucket Ginner? I could see that and
Speaker 2: then honestly, this year's rookies like, let's let's see, let's
Speaker 2: see summer league. Let's see how they handle the summer.
Speaker 2: I mentioned Collier, but I'm talking about like Cody Williams, Philipowski.
Speaker 2: Philipowski's shown a little something. I don't you know. I
Speaker 2: think he's a bit player if he's able to part
Speaker 2: out a long career. And think Cody Williams, like, let's
Speaker 2: be honest, he's more of an idea than a player
Speaker 2: at this point. This summer is gonna be huge for him.
Speaker 1: All Right, one more jazz thing, then we'll move on
Speaker 1: from this. And like you, I don't do the you know,
Speaker 1: draft grind on tape every day thing the way that
Speaker 1: people do it that have it as a full time gig,
Speaker 1: like your guy Jonathan Cavoti or others that cover the draft.
Speaker 1: But it does feel like, I mean, even when wem
Speaker 1: ban Yama was there to be had, you had hipsters
Speaker 1: and NBA media say things like well, I kind of
Speaker 1: like Scoot and you're like, all right, dude, whatever. But
Speaker 1: it feels like we've moved into a space where at
Speaker 1: the start of the season you would hear Dylan Harper,
Speaker 1: you would hear Ace Bailey, you'd hear Edge Common after
Speaker 1: what Cooper's done? Is it safe to say that, like
Speaker 1: wem Banyama, this is Cooper on his own level than
Speaker 1: everybody else after him.
Speaker 3: Based off your understand.
Speaker 2: That's my understanding. And you know, I've talked a little
Speaker 2: bit to scouts and executives and I if it Cooper
Speaker 2: flags not the number one pick people throughout the league,
Speaker 2: it's going to be absolutely shocked and dumbfounded. So you know,
Speaker 2: I would say that would put him very much on
Speaker 2: his own level.
Speaker 1: You brought up the Detroit Pistons. Do you still stay
Speaker 1: in contact with Dennis? With Dennis Lindsay and I wonder
Speaker 1: what sort of role he's played in kind of this resurgence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I'll be honest with you. I
Speaker 2: have not been in touch with Dennis this season. I
Speaker 2: have not. I don't get East a lot, and I
Speaker 2: haven't run into him this season. But I would say
Speaker 2: that he had his fingerprints all over a very productive
Speaker 2: off season for the Mavericks a couple of summers ago,
Speaker 2: and you know, the Pistons made it a priority to
Speaker 2: hire him with a rookie general manager in trading Langdon.
Speaker 2: They obviously also had a very productive off season, and
Speaker 2: so look, you know, you start to cry with a
Speaker 2: guy who's in charge and making the decisions in Trajan Langdon.
Speaker 2: But Dennis Lindsay's got an off the good track record,
Speaker 2: and this is two straight, too straight summers that he's
Speaker 2: been part of a front office that's made some moves
Speaker 2: that really paid immediate dividends, and you know, you gotta
Speaker 2: think he had something to do with it all.
Speaker 3: Right before I set you loose.
Speaker 1: The big news story regarding the local sports scene is
Speaker 1: that it is official as of Monday afternoon, that Alex
Speaker 1: Jensen is the seventeenth head coach in Utah men's basketball history.
Speaker 1: The Jazz played the Tea Wools a few nights ago.
Speaker 1: Go Bear post game was asked about the higher and
Speaker 1: Rudy gave a great answer. It's up online. It's up
Speaker 1: on the Utah page, the Jazz page. Will Hardy was
Speaker 1: asked about Alex. I mean, everybody said everything that you
Speaker 1: would expect. And I know that you know Alex, and
Speaker 1: this is a bit redundant because I did ask you
Speaker 1: about it last week, But now that it is official,
Speaker 1: as somebody who covers both the Jazz and the MAVs
Speaker 1: tell youth fans what they should know from your experience
Speaker 1: about their new head coach.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't actually see Rudy's comments. I would be
Speaker 2: interested to see those because, look, I've said it before,
Speaker 2: like other than Rudy Gobert, Noga deserves more credit for
Speaker 2: that raw, ganglely, goofy young French guy developing into a
Speaker 2: future All of Famer than than Alex Jensen. And you know, Alex,
Speaker 2: I think it has a great feel for player development.
Speaker 2: He has been a very successful head coach at the
Speaker 2: G league level. I think that his style of very
Speaker 2: you know, direct communication is I think it's a great approach.
Speaker 2: You know. I think that the recruiting stuff, like you know,
Speaker 2: his hires as assistant coaches are going to be very
Speaker 2: important because he's not necessarily a naturally gregarious type of guy.
Speaker 2: I also think that the alumni, uh, you know, the
Speaker 2: alumni donations to the Nile Fund are going to be
Speaker 2: even more important than that. If Alex Jensen is a
Speaker 2: heck of a coach, if he has the support, if
Speaker 2: necessary to win in the in college basketball, I think
Speaker 2: he's going to do so.
Speaker 1: Is the all right March twenty fifth, tim the book
Speaker 1: is on its way here the next little bit, and
Speaker 1: so two questions where can people go get it? And
Speaker 1: number two is based off of this next iteration of
Speaker 1: Luca's career. Are you considering additions to this book? I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Luca Danch's basketball left in front
Speaker 1: of us.
Speaker 2: Now listen, the last edition of this book. There's actually
Speaker 2: eight thousand copies were printed before the trade. Every other copy,
Speaker 2: the e book, the all your book, all those they've got.
Speaker 2: The last chapter that I wrote in the two weeks
Speaker 2: after the trade, and it's kind of a perfect end
Speaker 2: to the story. It's his entire run, all the drama,
Speaker 2: all of this function, all the chaos, all the success,
Speaker 2: and the shocking plot twist at the end of his
Speaker 2: tenure with the Dallas Mavericks. There'll be another Luca book?
Speaker 2: Would there be a Luca Laker's book. That's a great
Speaker 2: question to ask when you have Dave mcmaniman on. Ah. Okay,
Speaker 2: I've handed old mac Tima baton, but no, I appreciate
Speaker 2: you mentioning that. As far as where to get it,
Speaker 2: you know, everywhere you get books, you can, you know
Speaker 2: Amazon right now? You can get the you know, hey,
Speaker 2: if you want to go for the triple Crown, you
Speaker 2: can get the book. You can get the audiobook, and
Speaker 2: you can get the hard copy. You know, an old
Speaker 2: school pretty covering all that. So, you know, some people
Speaker 2: in Dallas are Bullycott in the book. It's actually pretty humorous.
Speaker 2: There's a there's a conspiracy theory that I was colluding
