00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 2>all the sports yea.

16
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 1>And the words of a wise man, did you catch

17
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>your game?

18
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Wive's right, man, there's so much about this that I

19
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about. The thing that stood out to

20
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 2>me for it even started was MAVs GM Nico Harrison

21
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>down on the court and Luca's warming up on one side.

22
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 2>He's on the other side, and I thought, man, that

23
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 2>is fascinating, And I just didn't know if that was normal,

24
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>if that was aggressive, if he's just like so in

25
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>on his conviction to make the trade that he's just

26
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>telling the world. Yeah, man, I did this trade. I

27
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>believe in it. I'm here, or I don't. I don't

28
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 2>even I don't. I don't even know how to process it.

29
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>I just found it. I found it to be very unusual.

30
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't expecting that.

31
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 1>I guess I.

32
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 4>Wasn't expecting it either, under the circumstances. I think you,

33
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 4>if you wanted to call it aggressive or whatever, it's

34
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 4>not in any way abnormal. Right, The vast majority of

35
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 4>the time I've ever talked to Nico has been at

36
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 4>that time of a game, because it's what happens is

37
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 4>is front office people are out there usually, like the

38
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 4>ESPN guys are out there. I mean, if you want

39
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 4>to go hobnob in NBA circles, you go get your

40
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 4>media credential and you stand out there two hours before

41
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 4>tip and players are coming out and shooting, and like

42
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 4>the clips you saw, like I saw three different clips,

43
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 4>and Nico's got a different person standing next to him

44
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 4>talking to him each time. That is normal NBA course

45
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 4>of action. However, I would suggest that last night was

46
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 4>anything but normal NBA circumstances. So read into that whatever

47
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 4>you want.

48
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Did that catch anybody else as being odd? Your Chris?

49
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I thought all of it was odd, just

50
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 3>the entire night in general. Like I saw Luca was

51
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 3>doing some push ups in the pregame, thought that was interesting.

52
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>That happens every previo. He does that all the time.

53
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay, he shoots, he shoots, so he does it here

54
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 4>and I'm sure he's found guys out there. They do

55
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 4>a shooting contest and if he makes the shot, they

56
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 4>do the push ups. If he misses, he does the

57
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 4>push ups.

58
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>The thing that you're watching for a couple things, you're

59
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 3>just watching for a is he about to in the

60
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 3>first five minutes of the game jack every shot? And

61
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 3>he kind of was, but it wasn't overt because the

62
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Mavericks were paying a lot of attention to him, and

63
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 3>then you're waiting on him too. I was hoping the

64
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>broadcast would have done a better job of pointing out

65
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 3>where exactly Nico was sitting. But you know, I mean,

66
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 3>they showed him later in the game, but I'm talking

67
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 3>about in the first quarter, and there is.

68
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>An awesome picture where it looks like they're staring at

69
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>each other.

70
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Is that real?

71
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

72
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that was online so fast. I was like,

73
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 3>this has to be photoshop, this has to.

74
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Be there's another one of Luca's standing right next to

75
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Ja Kid, and somebody took that. Have you ever seen

76
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the picture of the two dogs at the intersection where

77
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 2>one dog is in the car next to you and

78
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 2>he's looking at you. So he's looking at one dog

79
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 2>so aggressively, going yeah, what what and the other dog

80
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 2>in the car closest to the cameras going I don't.

81
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm just looking straight ahead. I don't see anything. I'm

82
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 1>not turning to the right. I'm not turning the right.

83
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Look over here, look over here, not looking over there.

84
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking straight ahead and looking straight ahead.

85
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 4>I had never seen that picture you're referencing until last night.

86
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 1>When I saw it, I died laughing. It is so funny.

87
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 2>It was, you know, there was so much stuff surrounding

88
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>the game, beyond the game, so much emotion. He ends

89
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>up having a triple double in a great game and

90
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Lakers win, But it wasn't a fifty burger like I

91
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 2>was thinking or anything. And yeah, obviously there's a lot

92
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>of emotion for him. He's he wasn't just out there

93
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>on full spite mode. You know, you know what he

94
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>what he did.

95
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 4>In hindsight, I guess if I had spent a little

96
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 4>more time thinking through it, what he did is he

97
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 4>did exactly what he was supposed to do. Because the

98
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.279
<v Speaker 4>Los Angeles Lakers have been crushing people for weeks and

99
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 4>it happened before Luca ever showed up.

100
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>They've been on a tear.

101
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 4>And I know, you guys think I'm doing a bit

102
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 4>on Austin Reeves.

103
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Austin Reeves is great.

104
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 3>That hurt more than Luca making shots as Austin Reeves

105
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 3>making show.

106
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 4>He killed us, and he's been doing that all season long.

107
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 4>And so I right now, all Luca's got to do

108
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 4>is just come in and try to fit in.

109
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 1>And it's very difficult.

110
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 4>Think about what Kyrie did when Kyrie got here, and

111
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 4>it's very difficult to fit in with something when you're

112
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 4>a dominant player and the team you're coming to is

113
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 4>playing incredibly well.

114
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 1>And they didn't have to gut their team to get you.

115
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I mean they didn't have to give

116
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 2>up everybody to get him.

117
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 4>And so they So anyways, he's got to figure out

118
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 4>how to be Luca, and I think like it's huge

119
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 4>for him that Lebron. I think the reason we were

120
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 4>talking about this earlier. I think the reason Lebron walked

121
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.560
<v Speaker 4>off the court in the fashion that he did is

122
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 4>I think he was letting the NBA know, bro, this

123
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 4>is my team right now and we're playing badass because

124
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 4>of me, and everybody needs to recognize that. And so

125
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to stand around out here. I'm going

126
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 4>to head to the locker room. And He's saying and

127
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 4>doing all the right things. But I do believe Lebron's

128
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 4>watching all this going all right, man, y'all just remember

129
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 4>who Lebron James is and and I think that the

130
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 4>way that Luca plays in the way le Bron plays

131
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 4>will perfectly compliment one each other one another in playoff basketball.

132
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I think when I was watching, Oh, there's there's a

133
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 3>million different things here. At the end, I loved every

134
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 3>MAVs player dap up Luca and like excited to go

135
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 3>see him.

136
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>So you know, like how the players feel about things.

137
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 3>Coaches too, every single Yeah, I mean there was coaches too, exactly.

138
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 3>So I mean that was like that was the part

139
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 3>that I hurt the most for me, is saying just

140
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 3>a little thing like Jayden Hardy going over and just

141
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 3>giving him a big hug is like.

142
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Or the Kyrie handshake before started again. I almost couldn't

143
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 1>watch the game from that.

144
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>The hardest thing and by the way, Laker fans chanting

145
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>thank you Unko.

146
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing he's in the building for that.

147
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 2>The hardest thing for me is watching Jeanie Buss or

148
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Polinka or whatever talk about how they can't believe they're

149
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 2>so lucky to have landed one of the best players

150
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>on earth, and they're like, these things just don't happen.

151
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 2>You just how do you ever, We never in a

152
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.040
<v Speaker 2>million years imagine this was even a possibility.

153
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're like, yeah, that's got we feel too. Nobody.

154
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I mean people on opposing teams and Billy

155
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 4>just followed the league and all that are just like,

156
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 4>all right, okay, this is what it is.

157
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>This is what it is. Again.

158
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Nico did it just by himself. He

159
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 4>may have been the only one to know until the

160
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.000
<v Speaker 4>very end, but I mean, he had conversations with guys

161
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 4>on the It's evident from all the stories that are

162
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 4>out there that these are things that the front office

163
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 4>had talked about, and it's not just coming from one source,

164
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.279
<v Speaker 4>it's coming from multiple, multiple writers or writing about it.

165
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>And so it's the thing.

166
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Now, that's not the thing that's amazing about all this

167
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.519
<v Speaker 4>to me is that no one, very few people are

168
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 4>willing to recognize the idea that several things can be

169
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 4>true at once. It's got to be black and white,

170
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 4>and it's got to be a civil war. And it's like,

171
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 4>just because he had these issues, that doesn't mean it

172
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 4>was right to trade him. Like you can hang on

173
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 4>to guys that are problematic in some ways and hope

174
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 4>that it gets better or formulate ways to get better.

175
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 4>The thing I've said, I bet I've said this twenty

176
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 4>times to people. Man, it is in no way surprising

177
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 4>to me, but it is absolutely shocking. Because if you

178
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 4>know that people feel a certain way, then it shouldn't

179
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 4>be surprising that they want to move on. But the

180
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 4>way in which it happened, man, that was pretty shocking.

181
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we're still long, what are we on?

182
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Three weeks? How long is it there?

183
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Twenty two?

184
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 2>No one can rationalize the return, no one can make

185
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 2>sense of that. But that's what they wanted, That's what

186
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>they wanted but I saw this quote from Stein today

187
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 2>whispers via league sources, suggesting Dallas's decision makers, most notably

188
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Nico Harrison, no longer wanted Planet Mavericks to orbit around

189
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Doncic and had grown determined to trade him by.

190
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.279
<v Speaker 1>This summer at the latest.

191
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.559
<v Speaker 2>So they were just done with the conditioning with his

192
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>own personal training team. There's obviously a lot of talk

193
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.679
<v Speaker 2>about the hookah, smoking a hookah and all that stuff.

194
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 2>You have Michael Finley taking a beer away from him.

195
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, all those things all factor into them just

196
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>saying hey, and we don't want to pay him seventy

197
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>million a year. We don't think his health is going

198
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to improve by if he continues with this lifestyle.

199
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:14.759
<v Speaker 1>We can't reach him.

200
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Seventy million a year is a lot of money, and

201
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.879
<v Speaker 2>then we're pot committed to that and it just subject

202
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to if he decides to take it seriously or not.

203
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 2>So we don't want to be We don't want our

204
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>world to revolve around him. I get that, I understand

205
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.799
<v Speaker 2>feeling that way. I still wish they could have fixed it.

206
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 2>And when Luca showed up in LA and first started

207
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.480
<v Speaker 2>playing games, you're like gohly Man, he is he is

208
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>out of shape, but by last night he looked like

209
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 2>he's in significantly better shape.

210
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he looks twenty pounds later in two weeks.

211
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 5>You just wish more people had see how we're going

212
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.200
<v Speaker 5>back and talking about the trade. You just wish more

213
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 5>people had to say before it was just done and

214
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 5>it's over because he's twenty five and like. But if

215
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 5>they were done with it and the other the key

216
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.960
<v Speaker 5>component of all this is he wanted Anthony Davis on

217
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 5>this team. Yeah, Niko wanted Anthony Davis on this team.

218
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 4>He he does not, so everyone thinks this, But the

219
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 4>guy who made the decision doesn't think the same way

220
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 4>everybody else does. He thinks Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic

221
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:12.240
<v Speaker 4>are comparable players. In his mind, those are comparable players.

222
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 4>And the reason that he got a first round pick

223
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 4>and got Max Christie out of it probably has to

224
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 4>do with the age. That's I'm not saying it's right.

225
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm just saying that's what that person thinks.

226
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm curious what the owners think about just the business

227
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 3>side of it though, too.

228
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, they probably think differently about it now. Right.

229
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.200
<v Speaker 2>But because even if he does think that, I agree

230
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 2>he does think that the rest of the league is shocked,

231
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>and so it's like he went into that negotiation. That's

232
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 2>just the part about that doesn't sit well with me,

233
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 2>that he had a long standing relationship with Polinka and

234
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 2>here's Polinka now seemingly, you know, dealing from you know,

235
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>not having to pay full price for what the rest

236
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 2>of the league would have paid for that. And yeah,

237
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.840
<v Speaker 2>that's just hard, man, It's hard. And look, it's like

238
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 2>you rip the scab off every time there's some new thing,

239
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.440
<v Speaker 2>some new triggering thing. You know, it's gonna be that

240
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 2>way for the next decade. He's not, you know, because

241
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.440
<v Speaker 2>he's just gonna keep setting records and you would think,

242
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>presumably they'll build a statue of him one day. Each

243
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 2>thing along the way is gonna sting a little bit.

244
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that could help it is if the

245
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Mavericks are just really good and win a ton.

246
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, I've decided to be a Wizards fan now,

247
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.679
<v Speaker 1>so have you? Yeah? Oh, they finally got rid of Kuzma.

248
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.720
<v Speaker 3>I always liked Magic, which would make you think I

249
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 3>would go pull for the Orlando Magic.

250
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Ye, But no, all right, there it is little MAVs,

251
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Luca Lakers, Coming up next, it's the Today Game, the

252
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 2>only segment of the day that will not be podcasted.

253
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.279
<v Speaker 2>It must you must listen live to hear this
