Speaker 4: Mavericks basketball, and so we're doing our show from the arena,
Speaker 4: like you mentioned, from three to six tons of Cooper
Speaker 4: flag and Maverick coverage. And then at six o'clock, MAVs
Speaker 4: TV is doing a television show.
Speaker 1: It's a party here at the American Airline Center.
Speaker 4: They have not had the number one pick in the
Speaker 4: draft since nineteen eighty one when they drafted Mark acguire.
Speaker 4: That was before the lottery even existed. The lottery didn't
Speaker 4: come into being for another five or six years later,
Speaker 4: and it started with Patrick.
Speaker 1: Ewing going to the New York Knicks.
Speaker 4: But in the entire history of the lottery starting, and
Speaker 4: when the lottery started, do you guys know how many
Speaker 4: teams that were in the lottery?
Speaker 1: Uh? No, any guests say, good guess seven seven seven
Speaker 1: teams in the lottery.
Speaker 4: And then it changed over time, and because there were
Speaker 4: so many people that were convinced that the lottery was rigged,
Speaker 4: they started doing all the lottery all these different ways.
Speaker 4: And in that entire history, the Mavericks had no ever
Speaker 4: moved up, not even moved up in the lottery, much
Speaker 4: less get the number one pick.
Speaker 1: And they got the number one pick in a.
Speaker 4: Year where a transition or not trans Thank you transcendent player,
Speaker 4: you shall.
Speaker 1: Let Yeah, why did we throw him a lifelong yell?
Speaker 1: Are sweet? Uh? And so they get him.
Speaker 4: I mean last year Atlanta went from number ten to
Speaker 4: number one and they got a decent player. It sudn't
Speaker 4: get a franchise changing player. It's such a big deal
Speaker 4: that our whole extravaganza to day is music free. We're
Speaker 4: just going to do our show for three hours and
Speaker 4: then get into three hours of the MAVs Draft simulcast
Speaker 4: coverage that's going to be awesome. But also joining us
Speaker 4: today the pride and joy of Only Texas. You know,
Speaker 4: we had a couple of good years hitting kind of
Speaker 4: in the middle to late part of that only JV
Speaker 4: batting order, little backup utility infield action on that JV squad,
Speaker 4: Kevin kat Turnay.
Speaker 1: Have people for a JV squad? I was on Varsiti.
Speaker 2: Uh three, we have six in the Metroplex eighty seven.
Speaker 1: That good, there's no way. It's only eighty seven.
Speaker 2: Significantly south of the Heat Dome. Okay, But if you
Speaker 2: go up north and to the northeast, they're having some problems.
Speaker 2: Now politically, I would say up in New York, there's
Speaker 2: a big story. It's Harvey Epstein is leading the primary.
Speaker 2: He Harvey Epstein leading Anthony Wiener, And I'm paying attention
Speaker 2: to this, like maybe more than the NBA Draft.
Speaker 1: Harvey Epstein, I don't know if I know Harvey Epstein.
Speaker 2: He's a real guy and he is dunking on Anthony Wiener,
Speaker 2: who's back now. His brother Jeff used to hang out
Speaker 2: with Wiener.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, it's a real guy.
Speaker 2: Okay, he's got the worst name that you could have
Speaker 2: outside of the Ravens play by play guy Jerry Sandusky.
Speaker 2: That was a tough deal for him. That is tough
Speaker 2: when that'll happen. But yeah, he's both one part Weinstein
Speaker 2: and one part Epstein with none of the criminal stuff
Speaker 2: we know we.
Speaker 1: Know, right, uh So keep us abreast on that, Kevin.
Speaker 2: New York listener, I can have one more piece of
Speaker 2: New York news like this. Have y'all seen the new
Speaker 2: picture picture.
Speaker 1: For the Mets. His name is a Dicky love Lady.
Speaker 2: That's not a real His first name is Richard, but
Speaker 2: he goes by Dickie.
Speaker 4: He doesn't go by dick No, Dickie love Lady, Love
Speaker 4: Ladies fantastic. It's a name and effect sounds like for
Speaker 4: electric six for it does sound like electric sixes.
Speaker 1: A redneck dick loves Lady.
Speaker 4: Also joining us today is a lady who is a
Speaker 4: phenomenal guitarist. She can be heard uh in the popular
Speaker 4: local Nirvana cover band Oatmeal Pizza. She's also the only
Speaker 4: really good thing and redeeming thing about this dumbass show.
Speaker 1: Christina k Y a little baby, corn bread racked. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I still say blanket in my head when you say
Speaker 1: that hard time not saying it. I'm like, is it
Speaker 1: Blincoln or not? Is the name of the band? When
Speaker 1: are you guys performing again? If I might ask.
Speaker 7: This Friday night, then at Club Dotta. Okay, we're playing
Speaker 7: with Van dam as.
Speaker 4: Well bandam Are you all gonna do any Nirvana songs?

Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I haven't given it up. Okay, is it cherry Bomb?
Speaker 4: It's not cherry Is it cherry Pie?

Speaker 7: It is not?
Speaker 1: But maybe at the next show we'll do that.
Speaker 7: Dude.
Speaker 4: If you guys the guys, you guys did cherry Pie,
Speaker 4: I'd be sold. Be great.
Speaker 1: Is there an acoustic set beforehand from John Claude. Oh,
Speaker 1: I like that question, O, not that I know of.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him in many action movies.
Speaker 4: All the steroids just made his whole body pop. I
Speaker 4: think he's doing French love films now. By the way,
Speaker 4: the big story of the day is the MAVs draft.
Speaker 4: The second big in the NBA draft. Second biggest story
Speaker 4: is the liver King in trouble. We'll get into that later.
Speaker 1: Huge.
Speaker 4: How has that impacted the last twenty four hours of
Speaker 4: you guys watching liver King meltdown? Man, I didn't know
Speaker 4: what happened until you guys told me, and I still
Speaker 4: don't know that it happened, So it hasn't impacted me
Speaker 4: a lot.
Speaker 2: I'll be one hundred percent honest for a show that's
Speaker 2: going to do this story a little bit later in the.
Speaker 1: Shot, I don't know any of the details yet.
Speaker 2: Okay, I did see the mugshot and he's not holding
Speaker 2: up well, yeah, just to subscribe to his diet. You
Speaker 2: need all those weird look to put some stuff.
Speaker 4: I like watching it because it's this huge, ripped guy
Speaker 4: with like a Viking helmet on and he's just eating
Speaker 4: raw beef testicles.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, sure, I'll watch this. Wow, what's wrong
Speaker 1: with this? You guys? Let me know when he's turned
Speaker 1: into Mickey Rourke and he is.
Speaker 4: And so. Over the last i don't know, forty eight hours,
Speaker 4: he started melting down and really seemed like a mental
Speaker 4: health distress call, and he started calling out Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1: I don't know what their beef is.
Speaker 4: He started threatening Joe Rogan and then he got in
Speaker 4: his car and drove to Austin to meet Joe Rogan
Speaker 4: while he's making threats, and the police were like, yeah.
Speaker 1: You can't do that.
Speaker 4: Why not just have Bernie Sanders kick his ass. He's
Speaker 4: hanging out with Joe Rogan right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So anyways, we'll have more on that once we read
Speaker 4: about it. But man, the big story of the day
Speaker 4: the MAVs are I have the number one pick, They're
Speaker 4: getting Cooper Flag and man, I don't know where the
Speaker 4: full metroplex is with all this, where everybody stands, But
Speaker 4: for me, I'm.
Speaker 1: Over the Lucas stuff.
Speaker 4: I'll never fully I'm able to compartmentalize my anger in
Speaker 4: the trade.
Speaker 1: Do I think it was a good trade?
Speaker 4: Hell no, I think it's the worst trade I've ever
Speaker 4: seen in the history of trading, and whether it's sports
Speaker 4: or lunch room trade and the sandwich for a banana,
Speaker 4: any trade that's ever happened in the history of mankind.
Speaker 1: This might be the worst one of those.
Speaker 4: But that said, the drug that I love most when
Speaker 4: it comes to sports is hope.
Speaker 1: Hope is hope is better than anything.
Speaker 4: It's even it's almost better than contending because the promise
Speaker 4: of being able to contend and having a big winning
Speaker 4: window open. The thing about Luca that was so great,
Speaker 4: he was our wonder boy right he was young.
Speaker 1: They had a ten fifteen twenty year window.
Speaker 4: If you look at the magical you know Nature in
Speaker 4: which Dirk spent twenty one seasons here. But you know,
Speaker 4: the hope of what was to come, knowing you had
Speaker 4: one of the unicorns in the basketball universe universe. You know,
Speaker 4: even if the MAVs that ended up with the number
Speaker 4: two pick, I'd still be pissed off right now about Luca.
Speaker 4: But they're not number two. They somehow lucked into getting
Speaker 4: the number one pick in this draft in a year
Speaker 4: where it's a transcendent player, one of the best all
Speaker 4: around number ones to come out since Anthony Davis. Or
Speaker 4: you could even say sence zion, but an undisputed number one,
Speaker 4: like his sophomore year of high school, the thought was
Speaker 4: he's the number one guy in his class. And then
Speaker 4: his junior year, senior year college he stayed number one. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like sometimes the guy starts his number one and ends
Speaker 4: up ninety eight. He was number one as a sophomore,
Speaker 4: and yep, number one now and going number one in
Speaker 4: the draft, and so he can't miss. He's can't miss.
Speaker 4: And so I could be angry about the Luca trade.
Speaker 4: And I don't want to tell anyone how to feel.
Speaker 4: I don't begrudge anyone for feeling however they want to feel.
Speaker 4: I know some people will never come back to the Mavericks.
Speaker 4: I was wondering. I didn't know if I was going
Speaker 4: to be a Maths fan anymore. I bought Lakers gear,
Speaker 4: I went through it. We're all about that's similar to
Speaker 4: the time you bought the Joe Bonds handager. That's actually
Speaker 4: a true story. Yeah, and I regret it, and I
Speaker 4: hate that you brought it up on air. I'm probably
Speaker 4: gonna sue you.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that one, like, he apologized a
Speaker 2: couple of years later.
Speaker 1: He bought the one when he was a Chief.
Speaker 4: That's not true. But I thought about quitting. I thought
Speaker 4: about it. You know, man, I can't do it. I'm out,
Speaker 4: I'm not in. I can't be a Maverick fan. And
Speaker 4: I've been a Maverick fan since eighty. So this the ad, This,
Speaker 4: this restores hope.
Speaker 1: This is my drug.
Speaker 4: He's the youngest player drafted since Lebron, Like he's he's
Speaker 4: younger than my oldest son, who's here. By the way,
Speaker 4: he might be the youngest Maverick drafted since we got
Speaker 4: Leon Wood, not Leon Wood.
Speaker 1: What was his name, Leon Smith? Did you remember the
Speaker 1: guy from Chicago? Yes, But it's like the hope drug
Speaker 1: is back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so look, you're you got a player who's
Speaker 4: gonna be good for fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who's gonna be elite?
Speaker 4: Who's gonna They not only are a contender when Kyrie
Speaker 4: gets healthy, but they're a contender that just got the
Speaker 4: number one pick. And so there's a lot of that.
Speaker 4: I don't like about that trade. But I'm able to
Speaker 4: move forward, and I know not everybody is. Did you
Speaker 4: see Lebron talking about Cooper Flagg calling him a dog
Speaker 4: and talking about how hard he goes and yeah, but
Speaker 4: the specific thing I was talking about.
Speaker 1: Was he's like, he's afforded a situation.
Speaker 4: I was not, Like Lebron went to a team where
Speaker 4: I think their second best player might have been Donielle Marshall.
Speaker 4: He was like, man, he's going to a team with
Speaker 4: three Hall of famers. Think about, Yeah, there's three guys
Speaker 4: on the Dallas Mavericks right now that are Hall of Famers.
Speaker 4: There's two guys that he's gonna be playing with that
Speaker 4: are former number one picks. Okay, and so he's coming
Speaker 4: into an organization where all you.
Speaker 1: Have to do is look at.
Speaker 4: The thing I would compare it to is look at
Speaker 4: how suddenly the entire NBA changed the way they felt
Speaker 4: about PJ.
Speaker 1: Washington Junior.
Speaker 4: Like, it's just so different when you're in a good
Speaker 4: organization with great players. And I'm not taking shots at Charlotte,
Speaker 4: but they've been bad for a long time and they're
Speaker 4: having a tough time getting out of it, and so
Speaker 4: that has a negative effect on everybody.
Speaker 1: And so PJ.
Speaker 4: Washington Junior gets here and then suddenly everyone's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: I remember why he was a late lottery pick and
Speaker 4: such a hot Wow, this guy could do everything. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: because he's playing with great players. This is why super
Speaker 4: teams formed. Kevin Durant Lebron James like, Man, I don't
Speaker 4: want to have to do every single thing myself. It'd
Speaker 4: be badass to play with another great player like Magic
Speaker 4: and Bird did. And so it's like when you come
Speaker 4: into a situation that he's coming into where they're asking him, hey,
Speaker 4: be our fourth best starter on a team that has
Speaker 4: championship aspirations, that's very liberating, right, And he has a
Speaker 4: chance to learn from elite players how to go be
Speaker 4: a franchise changing player. He doesn't have to go figure
Speaker 4: it out next to Donielle Marshall. He gets to come
Speaker 4: and immediately be with two guys that are franchise changing
Speaker 4: players that can teach him how to do it. And
Speaker 4: team building wise, it used to be about all right, man,
Speaker 4: can you get two superstars? And then obviously you look
Speaker 4: at the Miami he let's get three superstars and that idea. Now,
Speaker 4: this idea of building a team with depth. Look what
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City is doing. There's a lot of you know,
Speaker 4: there's teams out there now that all right, we look
Speaker 4: at Indiana like just guy after guy after guy who's
Speaker 4: good and can contribute. Right that, you know, if you
Speaker 4: were going to try to acquire Cooper Flag to a
Speaker 4: team that already had two overall number one picks, that
Speaker 4: would cost you your whole cap. He's going to make
Speaker 4: what fourteen million or whatever somewhere in there, And so
Speaker 4: they're just team building wise. You know they could they
Speaker 4: still may make other trades, but right if you keep
Speaker 4: PJ and you know you can't, Like you got all
Speaker 4: these guys, you got so much depth. Do you all
Speaker 4: want to talk about the Kyrie thing that happened last night?
Speaker 4: I do, but I do want to ask Kat and
Speaker 4: Christina how they're feeling about everything, because I know you
Speaker 4: guys love Luca like we all love Luca. So Christina,
Speaker 4: how are you doing emotionally with all of this today?
Speaker 7: I don't think I'll be fully over the Luca thing.
Speaker 7: I will say, I am excited. I am very excited
Speaker 7: for this day, but I will not fully be over
Speaker 7: it until we actually, like officially get Cooper Flag, like
Speaker 7: he is actually with our team and wearing a Mavericks jersey,
Speaker 7: and then when I see them play the first game. Altogether,
Speaker 7: I think that's when I'll finally be like, Okay, take
Speaker 7: a deep breath. Everything's going to be okay for the
Speaker 7: next what fifteen twenty years, hopefully more than that.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember what you thought?
Speaker 4: And you may have watched it live, you may have not,
Speaker 4: But you guys, remember what you're thinking as you're watching
Speaker 4: the first half of it Rockets Mavericks game.
Speaker 1: When he took the floor, I was furious, and then
Speaker 1: I was cheering very loudly, going, oh my god, we're
Speaker 1: so good.
Speaker 4: Am I allowed to feel this way when they were
Speaker 4: When the second seed in the West couldn't get a
Speaker 4: shot off, it.
Speaker 2: Was pretty wild when Ad played to the crowd, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was huge. Meanwhile, on the other TV, I was
Speaker 2: watching some golf. It was really a great in that tournament.
Speaker 2: I think that was one of the Hawaii tournaments.
Speaker 1: Really good.
Speaker 4: But that Ad immediately got hurt, which complicates the whole discussion.
Speaker 4: But kt where are you with everything?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm in a lot of places. Uh, Personally, I
Speaker 2: don't like that. There's no surprise, like nothing's gonna top
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen draft.
Speaker 1: And we were alive on the air doing the show
Speaker 1: and we were as it was going down.
Speaker 2: We had Donnie Nelson on the show and he's making
Speaker 2: jokes about we're going to draft eight and even though
Speaker 2: eight and was going number one, and little did we
Speaker 2: know that trade mechanisms were already happening. And then we
Speaker 2: got that reporter from Atlanta.
Speaker 1: On it was huge.
Speaker 2: Oh, like was breaking it kind of that the Mavericks
Speaker 2: are going to trade to get Luca. And the other
Speaker 2: thing I'm really thinking about a lot today is I
Speaker 2: am excited that Cooper Flagg will be wearing a Mavericks
Speaker 2: hat when he's drafted, because I do think it's a
Speaker 2: real bummer that Luca had to wear an Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Hawk's hat and his draft picture. I still think of
Speaker 1: him as a Hawk.
Speaker 2: It's really outside of letting big trades happen before game
Speaker 2: seven of your finals. It's really one of the dumbest
Speaker 2: things that the league has going right now that we
Speaker 2: can't just make it clear who's pick is who's You.
Speaker 4: Don't like that a team in the finals was making
Speaker 4: trades after like games three.
Speaker 2: It's not my favorite and I think we could just
Speaker 2: all learn some lessons from some other leagues.
Speaker 1: Because it's just not a smart way to do business.
Speaker 1: It's really dumb.
Speaker 2: You know how many nine year olds are going to
Speaker 2: be and confused tonight about who's getting drafted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad you brought up nine year olds because
Speaker 4: here's one of the things that I've noticed about discourse
Speaker 4: public conversation about sports. It's run by social media, okay,
Speaker 4: and things can appear bigger than they are because of
Speaker 4: social media, and social media is mostly run by young people,
Speaker 4: younger people that don't have all this perspective.
Speaker 1: Here's how you can tell.
Speaker 4: They'll name the greatest mavericks of old time and not
Speaker 4: one of them played before twenty ten. Right, And you're like, okay,
Speaker 4: I get it. You know your world is your world.
Speaker 4: But I want everybody And I tried to bring this
Speaker 4: up during the trade because everyone started talking about, well,
Speaker 4: who the addlsons are and Dumont and how they don't
Speaker 4: care and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: I was like, I want everybody to remember that.
Speaker 4: In nineteen ninety six, the team was run by Ross
Speaker 4: pro Junior. It was a real estate development and he
Speaker 4: took a land developer, gave him the job of GM.
Speaker 4: He traded Jason Kidd and then told the newspaper it's
Speaker 4: not rocket science so to act like this is some thing,
Speaker 4: Oh my god, and I thinks like this the sneaker salesman,
Speaker 4: oh my god, like dude a real estate developer traded
Speaker 4: a future Hall of Famer and said it wasn't rocket science.
Speaker 4: This happened to this franchise. So it's like, in the moment,
Speaker 4: it's brutal. I get it, we're emotional about this stuff,
Speaker 4: but they have a tendency.
Speaker 1: Life has a tendency to move on. I'll be cooking
Speaker 1: the story.
Speaker 8: This is.
Speaker 2: I'm glare to tell this because the nineties MAVs were
Speaker 2: so bad and it was maybe my favorite thing happening,
Speaker 2: the idea that the three J's were going to bring
Speaker 2: us somewhere, and only we didn't get every MAVs game
Speaker 2: on TV and avert being so mad. The Mavericks were
Speaker 2: the second game of the doubleheader playing against the Lakers
Speaker 2: on TNT, and the first game went to overtime, so
Speaker 2: that means they didn't get to the MAVs game until
Speaker 2: like ten forty five, And I could watch a fifteen
Speaker 2: win MAVs team get smoked by the Lakers, and I
Speaker 2: was really excited for that. So like, we've got it
Speaker 2: really good here and have had it really good for
Speaker 2: a long time. I didn't kind of forget what the
Speaker 2: nineties were like with this team, because Jesus, that was horrible.
Speaker 4: They were the second worst franchise in the entire decade
Speaker 4: of any sport.
Speaker 1: Yeah, any sport. Brutal.
Speaker 4: Well, this is a different time, It's a different day
Speaker 4: and age and contenders. Getting the number one pick, that
Speaker 4: number one pick expected to be Cooper Flag kind of
Speaker 4: a no brainer. We are broadcasting from the American Airline
Speaker 4: Center thanks to k Post Company. They did the roof

Speaker 4: what is the best burger in DFW, it's definitely in
Speaker 4: that conversation. This is one of those burger joints that
Speaker 4: always comes up when you start talking about it. But
Speaker 4: they got a little attitude, in a little swagger, They've
Speaker 4: got a big personality. It's just a fun place to go,
Speaker 4: even when you know. You place your order and then
Speaker 4: you're waiting for him to cook it up, and they don't.
Speaker 4: They don't want your real name. They call out a
Speaker 4: fake name. Yeah, you may call out James Brown or
Speaker 4: Vanilla Ice, Bill bow bagging, Steve Bouchelle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have no idea what they're gonna say. I
Speaker 1: don't think they've ever called out Steve Bouschelle.
Speaker 4: But if you go and mention Ben and Skin, they'll
Speaker 4: give you ten percent off at all their area locations. Okay,
Speaker 4: before we get into the Hollywood shuffle. Well, let's talk
Speaker 4: about this. We're just mentioning the Kyrie Irving thing. Kyrie
Speaker 4: Irving signed, he had the ability to opt into his
Speaker 4: deal for one more year at about forty three.
Speaker 1: Point something million.
Speaker 4: Instead, he opted out, and according to all the reports,
Speaker 4: is going to sign a three year deal with a
Speaker 4: player option in the third year for one hundred and
Speaker 4: nineteen million total. So doing the quick math, that is
Speaker 4: under forty million dollars a year. The reason that is
Speaker 4: significant is because of salary cap machinations, the Mavericks will
Speaker 4: be able to use what they call an exception and
Speaker 4: sign another player for a five point seven million dollar
Speaker 4: contract that can go land them some guard help that
Speaker 4: they are going to desperately need until Kyrie comes back.
Speaker 4: So great move for the Mavericks that is working with
Speaker 4: a player.
Speaker 1: It's fair for both sides.
Speaker 4: He helped the team this year have a chance to really
Speaker 4: push their chips in a little bit more. We'll talk
Speaker 4: about some of the names, but Kyrie working with Nico
Speaker 4: in the front office to get something done was I
Speaker 4: think it was huge. I love Kyrie and that's just
Speaker 4: another case of a guy like giving a team a
Speaker 4: discount or doing something to where it's not all about
Speaker 4: him financially personally, doing something that.
Speaker 1: Sacrifices a little bit.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously he's making a lot of money, but
Speaker 4: he didn't squeeze him for everything they got. You know,
Speaker 4: he worked with them and now that's enabling them to
Speaker 4: sign a player for that five point seven million dollar
Speaker 4: taxpayer mid level mid level exception. Yep, the names that
Speaker 4: are thrown out, I do want to mention those two
Speaker 4: because I want to know.
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to these guys in order.
Speaker 4: Okay, the four names most closely associated a guy that
Speaker 4: can be a point guard while Kyrie misses the first
Speaker 4: half of the year, and then when Kyrie comes back,
Speaker 4: they can just ease into being a rotational player or
Speaker 4: backup point guard. Dennis Schroeder, D'Angelo Russell, Chris Paul, and
Speaker 4: Malcolm Brogden. Okay, So, in fairness, like, I feel like
Speaker 4: I know a lot about D'Angelo Russell's game.
Speaker 1: He's the one I want.
Speaker 4: Well, I wouldn't say the least. I would probably want
Speaker 4: him over Shrewder. I don't want Shrewder, and I don't
Speaker 4: think he's gonna be here. I think he's going to
Speaker 4: get a fourteen million dollar exception. I've been here in
Speaker 4: Sacramento and he's the youngest. Well, Russell might be the
Speaker 4: round the same age. They're pretty close. Russell is a gunner, okay,
Speaker 4: streaky as all get out, and he the next guy
Speaker 4: he stops from scoring will be the first.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, defense wins championship. Yeap.
Speaker 4: So if we're gonna do the Nico loves two way
Speaker 4: players thing, man, I'd take him off the list immediately.
Speaker 4: So who of these guys can play defense? Brogdon is See,
Speaker 4: here's the thing. I'd be lying if I told you
Speaker 4: I saw Brogden play more than twice last year because
Speaker 4: he played for the Wizards.
Speaker 1: Oh, Chris Paul is forty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But when I saw Chris Paul play, you know what,
Speaker 4: He's perfect for this role.
Speaker 1: We're talking eighteen minutes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he'll he'll play twenty to twenty five
Speaker 4: minutes until Kyrie comes back. And man, when we played
Speaker 4: San Antonio late in the year and it was after
Speaker 4: wimbin Yama had been hurt, We're covering the game and
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the stats and I'm like, Chris Paul
Speaker 4: shot forty three percent from three over his last eight
Speaker 4: games late in the year. What like the role we're
Speaker 4: talking about, I'm okay with it. If I had to
Speaker 4: bet money, I would bet money on Brogden. Brogden played
Speaker 4: for j Kidd and Milwaukee. The Mavericks were interested in
Speaker 4: getting him like five.
Speaker 1: Years ago or four years ago.
Speaker 4: But I know that there were people on the medical
Speaker 4: side where they were like, I ain't signing off.
Speaker 1: On that knee.
Speaker 4: And I think it was Stein who said that the
Speaker 4: MAVs are front runners for D'Angelo Russell. And so I
Speaker 4: was like, I was kind of feeling the same way
Speaker 4: you were. But I don't, you know, I'm not as
Speaker 4: familiar with his game as you are. They may look
Speaker 4: at this and I don't know what's gonna happen with
Speaker 4: Dante X, who's good defensive player, and they may look
Speaker 4: at it and go, man, we just need one of
Speaker 4: those guys. He's far and away the best shooter from outside. Like,
Speaker 4: but I mean, there was a game where him and
Speaker 4: uh Luka Doncic went head to head when he played
Speaker 4: for the Warriors. They went head to head in the
Speaker 4: first half. I think he had twenty four against us
Speaker 4: in the first half. But like, he will shoot you
Speaker 4: out of a game just as fast as he'll shoot
Speaker 4: you in it. Yeah, And so there's a reason I'm
Speaker 4: trying to remember.
Speaker 1: Was he at number one pick?
Speaker 6: Was?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think he was. If he wasn't, he was
Speaker 1: top three.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to remember that draft. You know, he drew
Speaker 4: a lot of James Harden comparisons, Lefty step back, all
Speaker 4: that stuff.
Speaker 1: But dude, he's a gunner.
Speaker 4: And I don't know that that's the style of basketball
Speaker 4: that we're going to be playing. But I'm also I
Speaker 4: don't know what this coaching staff specifically wants. They may
Speaker 4: say we want a guy who is an of those guys.
Speaker 4: He's the best offensive creator. But I mean, if I'm
Speaker 4: looking at the style of basketball, I think we're gonna
Speaker 4: play what we're going for. To me, Brogden and Paul
Speaker 4: make more sense at that little amount of money because
Speaker 4: it's a little amount of money. Those whoever we get
Speaker 4: is going to be making less than Jayden Hardy, Right.
Speaker 4: But do you think that this is whatever that move is,
Speaker 4: that mid level exception or whatever taxpayer exit, whatever five
Speaker 4: point seven for that point guard, that's going to be
Speaker 4: the only mover, or do you see them making another
Speaker 4: move of any kind.
Speaker 1: I think they're open to trades.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if they jump back in the
Speaker 4: end of the first round or early part of the second.
Speaker 4: Keep an eye on Brooklyn. They have five first round picks.
Speaker 4: But you know, there was rumors that they were looking
Speaker 4: to get back into the draft, and a lot of
Speaker 4: people were drawing conclusions to the guard out of Duke
Speaker 4: named Proctor that's really close with Cooper Flag and he's
Speaker 4: not a point guard. He's a shooter, spot up shooter,
Speaker 4: and he's a really good defensive competitor. And so there's
Speaker 4: some thought that that's who they would be gunning for.
Speaker 4: But you know, if it's funny, I know, Niko's a
Speaker 4: dirty word around here.
Speaker 1: If you were to do the ledger and lineup the.
Speaker 4: Good moves and the bad moves, the good moves outweigh
Speaker 4: the bad moves honestly four to one. It depends on
Speaker 4: what you're willing to give the man credit for. Are
Speaker 4: you willing to give credit to Kyrie taking less money
Speaker 4: to stay here and help the team out. Yes, are
Speaker 4: you willing to give credit to him for that? If
Speaker 4: you want to line up the moves? I mean, the
Speaker 4: Grant Williams deal was an overreach, but then he turned
Speaker 4: it into PJ. Washington Junior. Obviously the Luca thing, you know,
Speaker 4: we can talk about. We talked about ad nauseum. I
Speaker 4: don't blame him at all for Jalen Bruntson. That was
Speaker 4: all Mark Cuban, every bit of it. So if you
Speaker 4: look at like Gafford, PJ. Washington Junior, Derek Lively, the
Speaker 4: second turning old nothing into Jaden Hardy, I mean it
Speaker 4: just goes on and on, like he's had a lot
Speaker 4: of great moves here, but nobody wants to hear that.
Speaker 1: And so that's fair.
Speaker 2: You're only as popular as your last move, So Kyrie Irving, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think we're there yet.
Speaker 1: It was not official. That was fine. Speaking of moves,
Speaker 1: let's talk about movies. Oh yeah, that was a good segue.
Speaker 1: Thank you, y moves, Hot God ever stay out the
Speaker 1: top shovel.
Speaker 2: New York Slimes just put out their top one hundred,
Speaker 2: you know, movies since the twenty first centuries.
Speaker 1: Since it's the year two thousand, so I thought we
Speaker 1: could just kind of.
Speaker 2: Keep it going because they're like rolling it out every
Speaker 2: single morning, and uh, you know, we did a lot
Speaker 2: of basketball stuff. Let's just kind of roll it in
Speaker 2: and keep that going and just kind of mixing back
Speaker 2: hit a little more basketball later. Okay, there's uh number
Speaker 2: sixties a movie called Whiplash. I ever saw it, but
Speaker 2: it's music and I should see it.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Oh JK, what's his name here?
Speaker 4: So I don't know how this happened, but so my
Speaker 4: son is seventeen. I think my son has seen five
Speaker 4: movies ever, and one of them is Whiplash and he
Speaker 4: loves it. Was there some sort of TikTok thing or something?
Speaker 4: With whiplash.
Speaker 1: Yes, how my son found an indie movie? Yes, so it.
Speaker 4: Would you know that movie is about you know, Jake
Speaker 4: what is it j Simmons, who is who is an
Speaker 4: overbearing band leader. Yeah, and he is just the biggest
Speaker 4: jerk a hole ever And he's just not to be
Speaker 4: confused with JK. Rowling, who's an overbearing author. And so
Speaker 4: Miles Teller plays this drummer and he's away from you know,
Speaker 4: he's on a scholarship and he's and he's just everybody
Speaker 4: is abused by this man. And so if you just
Speaker 4: show it in snippets, you take him being punished and
Speaker 4: abused and treated really poorly, and you put it on
Speaker 4: TikTok and you show an overbearing old person being mean
Speaker 4: to a young person.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: That got traction, and it's just like, you know, that's
Speaker 4: how young people look at movies.
Speaker 1: Now show me the movie in thirty seconds. Right, Well,
Speaker 1: we'll get off Ben's lawn number fifty eight. What about
Speaker 1: fifty nine? Uh?
Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna skip it, Tony Erdman, Let's give
Speaker 2: you fifty eight uncut gems not to be confused with
Speaker 2: the porno uncut Jims which is discussed.
Speaker 1: What's a guy's name, Jim, you don't want to see that? Said,
Speaker 1: A great movie.
Speaker 4: And if you think about it, like that's Adam Sandler
Speaker 4: truly acting, and he's hot.
Speaker 1: He's brilliant in it. I heard.
Speaker 4: I love the score, I love the vibe of it all.
Speaker 4: It's just really a really well done movie. I didn't
Speaker 4: have your guy KG. Yeah, Kg's in it, and you
Speaker 4: always said he's better than dirt. By the way, I
Speaker 4: never said that, Perkins. Kendrick Perkins said he was describing
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag. He said, it's like if Kevin Garnett and
Speaker 4: Lebron James had a baby.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's what he said. Man, that's going to bring
Speaker 1: trans in a sport man.
Speaker 2: Get that all right, get that out of here. But
Speaker 2: KG was good in that movie too. Sailor's a good
Speaker 2: dramatic actor. Yes, people are talking about it everyone. Fifty
Speaker 2: seven best.
Speaker 1: In Show seems a little high for me, but I
Speaker 1: like it. Good moment, it's fun, it's funny movie. You
Speaker 1: said you saw Kate here two weeks ago. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: wouldn't have.
Speaker 7: It's probably that hike because it started all those other movies.
Speaker 4: Well, it was pretty early. I mean spinal Tap did,
Speaker 4: but yeah, it was early in.
Speaker 1: The Fame fifty six Adam Sandler.
Speaker 4: What we were just talking about, this is the movie
Speaker 4: I thought of when you said he's a good dramatic actor.
Speaker 1: I need to see this problem.
Speaker 4: It's a Paul It's a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. And
Speaker 4: Paul Thomas Anderson knew he was going to try to
Speaker 4: do some comedic stuff, and he actually worked on the
Speaker 4: set or worked as a writer for SNL for a
Speaker 4: couple of seasons, or at least one. I'm assuming that's
Speaker 4: how he met my Rudolph, his wife, but then that
Speaker 4: led to him making this movie.
Speaker 1: With Adam Sandler. It's great, cool fifty five inception Christopher
Speaker 1: Nolan twenty four. Hard to believe that it's not higher. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a great movie.
Speaker 7: When's the last time y'all watched it? I was thinking
Speaker 7: about rewatching it.
Speaker 4: Yes, I watched it anytime I stumble across it on
Speaker 4: I probably have watched it three times in the last
Speaker 4: three months. So you were going to go back to
Speaker 4: the first time you saw it and watch it again.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think i've seen it since it was
Speaker 7: out in theater, so.
Speaker 2: I don't think I have either. I've seen it's incredible, though.
Speaker 2: Fifty four pans Labyrinth.
Speaker 1: I never saw that.
Speaker 4: That's the dude that made the movie where the fish
Speaker 4: you're talking about the shape of water?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, same guy, right, Garable Deltor. Yeah, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: Gearabl Deltro.
Speaker 2: I never thought at least a famous of the del
Speaker 2: Toro brothers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait year does it? See six? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Okay, I thought I was younger than that when I
Speaker 7: saw it and remember being creeked out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but number fifty three, oh yes, two thousand and
Speaker 2: six more at Cultural Learnings of America from make Benefit.
Speaker 1: Glorious Fish, because that's incredible.
Speaker 2: My wife told me she has not seen this movie,
Speaker 2: and I was like, we're gonna watch it soon.
Speaker 1: It's great, Honestly, it honestly should be higher. Yeah, spectacular.
Speaker 2: It's spectact, and I think it probably holds up better
Speaker 2: now than maybe even back then. Yeah, because it's crazier now,
Speaker 2: it's crazier.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: And I really like the second one. I really like. Nope,
Speaker 1: none of those different bort too, oh it too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The only good part in Bruno is when that dog
Speaker 4: is flipping around and then sings to the camera.
Speaker 1: Is just, you know, be on your heels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the utes undertoes.
Speaker 1: Being the boar at real quick.
Speaker 7: When he's going through the cheese, asking him how much
Speaker 7: this is, he keeps saying the same amount.
Speaker 1: Or is this cheese?
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 2: What it is?
Speaker 1: Is this cheese? This suit is not gray. This suit
Speaker 1: is gray.
Speaker 2: Not the favorite number fifty two. This is your ghost.
Speaker 2: Your ghost is the guy who did poor.
Speaker 1: Things that they oh crazy am a Stone movie? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I never saw it either, but I have actually heard
Speaker 2: it's very good. It doesn't look like something i'd want
Speaker 2: to watch today, though fifty one twelve years of slave, I.
Speaker 1: Have not seen it. I can't put myself in the mindset. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I feel that bad. Number fifty up should be higher.
Speaker 2: God, I can't put myself in the mindset to feel
Speaker 2: that bad.
Speaker 1: You got to feel bad for five minutes. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: first first five minutes are so depressive. And again that.
Speaker 4: I've said this before, but you know, when my dad
Speaker 4: passed away, we were trying to cheer my mom up.
Speaker 4: She loves movies. We always love Pixar movies. So we're like,
Speaker 4: let's just go to the movie. And we didn't research it.
Speaker 4: To see what it was about. Oh my god, and
Speaker 4: it was about losing your spouse. Losing your spouse and
Speaker 4: then like having nothing to live for. At that point,
Speaker 4: it's like, oh.
Speaker 1: Should we get up and leave this? This is the
Speaker 1: worst thing we've ever done.
Speaker 2: Mom.
Speaker 1: Remember when we took you to see base against It?
Speaker 1: I was my spouse in the grocery store every time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just to look around and be like where,
Speaker 2: and then for five minutes you're like looking and we're
Speaker 2: both walking around the store looking for each other because
Speaker 2: we can't. That is amazing, very sad. Wonder off faster
Speaker 2: than anyone I've ever seen, and she won't know where
Speaker 2: she's at, which is against the rules.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. Yeah, agreed, especially now that we have phones.
Speaker 2: Let's do fifty through forty one sometime maybe in the
Speaker 2: four thirty segment, all right, right around then?

Speaker 6: just like Bill Clinton. Man, yeah, can please please say
Speaker 6: that tonight? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I will man.
Speaker 6: I I was so fortunate that I got to see
Speaker 6: Cooper Flag of Bond when he was in high school
Speaker 6: at Montvert Academy. Tell us about doing the the high
Speaker 6: school package on ESPN, it's all about recruiting. You're seeing
Speaker 6: these guys before they become these household names. So got
Speaker 6: to see Zion Williamson at his senior night in Spartanburg,
Speaker 6: South Carolina, in a little bandbox of a gym, you know,
Speaker 6: got to see RJ. Barrett and this guy and that
Speaker 6: guy like there is in my seven eight years of
Speaker 6: doing that for ESPN, there is nobody that has struck
Speaker 6: me like Cooper Flag like there is. He is a killer.
Speaker 6: He is an absolute killer. He wants to rip your
Speaker 6: heart out. He wants to take a bite of it.
Speaker 6: He wants to then step on it with his new
Speaker 6: balanced shoes and then leave a trail of blood in
Speaker 6: his wake.
Speaker 1: This is who he is, this perfect first Nation that
Speaker 1: plays Rob Zombie. Yes, okay, that.
Speaker 4: Is an unbelievable vivid painting, a portrait that you just
Speaker 4: paid it for. So but I want to know more
Speaker 4: about now, why do you say that? Is this a
Speaker 4: guy who is You're never gonna worry about his energy,
Speaker 4: You're not gonna have to worry about how hearty's trying.
Speaker 1: He's like, what what is it that makes you think that?
Speaker 1: It's what I saw? Ben?
Speaker 6: I And again, no matter the level of competition, whether
Speaker 6: it was set the scene right, Montvert Academy, it's just
Speaker 6: outside of Orlando. He transferred there from his tiny school
Speaker 6: up in Maine because he wanted to follow the likes
Speaker 6: of Cad Cunningham and Scottie Barnes and RJ. Barrett and
Speaker 6: Ben Simmons and Angela Yushy go there to his sophomore year.
Speaker 6: His sophomore year, and then he reclassified. He jumped up
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden he was a senior in
Speaker 6: the class of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: Did he not win Mister Basketball as a freshman in
Speaker 4: the state of Maine, Like did they?
Speaker 1: Winyah, he's a freshman. They went to stay and again
Speaker 1: it's Maine, right, it's Maine.
Speaker 6: But people took notice in that summer after that freshman season,
Speaker 6: and he transfers to Montford because he realized, I have
Speaker 6: to go somewhere where they play a national schedule where
Speaker 6: it's like college in high school, in training, nutrition, all
Speaker 6: of that, the travel, and so that we saw that
Speaker 6: he was on our air in Springfield, Massachusetts at the
Speaker 6: Whopaul Classic. He was on our air in Indianapolis at
Speaker 6: Guyico Nationals, the Big March Madness style high school tournament
Speaker 6: that's every year the week of the Final Four on ESPN.
Speaker 6: He impacts the game without scoring. It's at both ends
Speaker 6: and to your point, bent the energy. It's something that
Speaker 6: can be taken for granted so easily, like that growing up, like, yeah,
Speaker 6: of course you're supposed to play hard. It's funny how
Speaker 6: that's become a skill, and yet nobody plays as hard
Speaker 6: as Cooper Flag does.
Speaker 4: That's that whole thing though, where I mean, look, there's
Speaker 4: all these talented guys but it can be.
Speaker 1: I think it's mostly genetic.
Speaker 4: But the idea where they say the guy's a dog,
Speaker 4: like we hear that in sports all the time, but
Speaker 4: that means something different to the guys that actually play
Speaker 4: or the guys that coach. There is this inate ability
Speaker 4: and it's you know, we joke about it on the
Speaker 4: air as the three dogs one bone. There's three dogs,
Speaker 4: and one dog's gonna get that bone. And if it's
Speaker 4: the same dog every time, that differentiates him from all
Speaker 4: the It's King Charles, right, And that's the name of
Speaker 4: that dog.
Speaker 1: That you shows the dog you know about King Charles,
Speaker 1: whoa ben.
Speaker 4: We'll share some videos with you later about that dog
Speaker 4: that runs the yard named King Charles. But if the
Speaker 4: same dog gets the bone every time, that's a dog, right,
Speaker 4: And that's what you know you said you've seen as
Speaker 4: you called his games in high school, and I hear
Speaker 4: his peers and I hear the guys that have been
Speaker 4: doing this, they all say the same thing about him.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you a quick story from the McDonald's All
Speaker 6: American game that we did. It was in Houston the
Speaker 6: year he was a senior, So April of last year,
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four. It's funny to think it was only
Speaker 6: that long ago and here we are a year later
Speaker 6: and he's coming here. We got a chance to sit
Speaker 6: down with all the top ranked guys in one room
Speaker 6: the day before the game, and it's a lot of
Speaker 6: guys that are gonna hear their names called early, just
Speaker 6: like Cooper Flagg.
Speaker 1: Here tonight was ten years ago.
Speaker 6: It is last year, at the end of their senior year,
Speaker 6: so before they go to college. We're talking about Flag,
Speaker 6: We're talking about Dylan Harper, vj Edgecombe, Trey Johnson, Ace Bailey.
Speaker 6: So like the top five guys in the class, if
Speaker 6: you will, and you like to feel him out, it's
Speaker 6: me and it's Corey Alexander. If'm NBA player, former Spur,
Speaker 6: you know ESPN analyst Paul BIANCRDI who does all the rankings,
Speaker 6: the director of recruiting for ESPN, And you like to
Speaker 6: feel him out, kind of get to know him a
Speaker 6: little bit, and we ask him, how is is this
Speaker 6: going to be a game tomorrow? Because the McDonald's All
Speaker 6: American Game it's much like the NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 6: It's it just devolves into a bunch of one on
Speaker 6: one Nobody plays defense and Cooper Flagg cuts everybody else
Speaker 6: off and he says, oh, it's gonna be a game.
Speaker 4: Oh let's go really and let's like everyone fell in
Speaker 4: line and it was not one twenty one to one nineteen.
Speaker 6: The next day it was eighty eight to eighty six.
Speaker 6: Cooper Flag is making play. I mean he sent one
Speaker 6: into the fifth row, you know, against Dylan Harper. On
Speaker 6: the other side, he makes a play against Harper in
Speaker 6: the final minute, forcing a turnover.
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag just wins.
Speaker 6: He is a that that is his greatest skill.
Speaker 4: I want to tell you guys a quick story of
Speaker 4: what this reminds me of, because I do think I
Speaker 4: think it's an innate quality and like not to not
Speaker 4: to go too far off the path here, but you know,
Speaker 4: the whole Lebron James Michael Jordan, who's the goat or whatever.
Speaker 1: The thing that I've always said about that is well,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just know if those two guys fought, Michael Jordan
Speaker 4: would rip Lebron's bone.
Speaker 1: Out of his body and kill him with it. Right,
Speaker 1: So you can whatever you want. I'm just saying.
Speaker 4: The thing that separates those two guys is one guy
Speaker 4: wants to be liked and the other guy wants to
Speaker 4: kill you. It's not a knock on Lebron. I'm just
Speaker 4: saying that's just a thing that certain people have. Usually
Speaker 4: they're a psychopath, all right, But that's kind of thing
Speaker 4: we're buddies with. Oh my god, Greg Buckner, right, And
Speaker 4: Greg Buckner has been here, He's been all around the league,
Speaker 4: and he ran the draft the year that the Houston
Speaker 4: Rockets had three first round picks. He was on their
Speaker 4: staff and he was running the draft and they brought
Speaker 4: all the guys in to compete.
Speaker 1: They do these individual drills, they do.
Speaker 4: Three on three drills, they do full court drills, and
Speaker 4: he goes, I'm running this draft, and everything that happens,
Speaker 4: Draymond Green wins.
Speaker 1: He's yelling at guys. They follow him. He goes when
Speaker 1: we have drink breaks, he's drinking.
Speaker 4: You know, guys are drinking water, and everyone's gonna circle
Speaker 4: around him and he's running everything.
Speaker 1: And I go to the front off and I go,
Speaker 1: I don't care. We have to draft Draymond Green.
Speaker 4: And he wasn't on anybody's first round because he was
Speaker 4: six six, goodn't jump, didn't have a position.
Speaker 1: And Greg Buckner is like, if we do not draft
Speaker 1: this guy, we have failed.
Speaker 4: And the Houston Rockets did not draft him, and he
Speaker 4: went on to be he is a Hall of Fame
Speaker 4: player for a guy with no.
Speaker 1: Real discernible offensive skill.
Speaker 4: He's a good passer, fine, But the whole point is
Speaker 4: that there is just certain qualities that certain guys have
Speaker 4: from a competition standpoint, and an edge and an.
Speaker 1: Energy that you're just born with.
Speaker 4: And not only does Cooper Flag have that, but he
Speaker 4: also has all this skill level and size and athletic
Speaker 4: ability and that's why he's the best two way prospect
Speaker 4: to come out in the draft since Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: He is yes, yes, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6: You mentioned dram On, Like, take all of that defensive
Speaker 6: intensity and the intangibles and then throw it into a
Speaker 6: six to eight plus package with a seven foot wingspan
Speaker 6: and offensive skill and shooting forty percent from three.
Speaker 1: Incredible. Okay, we're talking about the great Ted Emerick.
Speaker 4: You can hear him tonight here on ninety seven one
Speaker 4: The Eagle and watch him on the MAVs Draft Extravaganza
Speaker 4: from the American Airline Center.
Speaker 1: Our coverage, of course, is brought to you by k
Speaker 1: post company.
Speaker 4: So Ted, I want to ask you this. Let's talk comps,
Speaker 4: all right, because I'm I'm one of those people.
Speaker 1: I need a comp.
Speaker 4: And so let's say Cooper flag is this if he
Speaker 4: just meets reasonable expectations, like you think he's gonna be okay,
Speaker 4: He'll be fine at the low end, low reasonable end.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's a bust. He makes it, but
Speaker 1: it's on the low end of the spectrum. What is
Speaker 1: that comp?
Speaker 4: And then if he reaches the maximum, give me the
Speaker 4: biggest dream I can dream?
Speaker 1: Who is he? If he reaches everything?
Speaker 6: The dream is the face of the NBA. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: that is a serious dream. I mean, that's on ninety seven.
Speaker 3: And I.
Speaker 1: Understand that.
Speaker 6: I'm colored by the fact that, yes, I got to
Speaker 6: see him up close for two plus years when he
Speaker 6: in high school before he went to Duke. I truly
Speaker 6: believe that's the ceiling in terms of other players. I'm
Speaker 6: curious to bounce this off you, skin Ben, like Cooper
Speaker 6: himself has said, he said it in high school offensively,
Speaker 6: he looks up to Jason Tatum a lot. Defensively, He's
Speaker 6: studied a lot of Jonathan Isaac and I don't you
Speaker 6: know when he's healthy. You understand how good Jonathan Isaac
Speaker 6: has in this player is absolutely healthy, exactly combine those
Speaker 6: two well, he said, he was asked again this week,
Speaker 6: and I'm sure you saw it.
Speaker 1: I did, and he said, Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 4: The thing I love about it is that our we're
Speaker 4: all friends with a guy named Jake Kent from the
Speaker 4: Dumb Zone and he had been for something weeks now.
Speaker 4: For several weeks now, he's been calling Cooper Flag Kawight Leonard,
Speaker 4: which I love. But if you remember so, uh and
Speaker 4: you can give us more info.
Speaker 1: On this teddy.
Speaker 4: But he's a already he's an elite defensive player, like
Speaker 4: probably has a chance to be second or third team
Speaker 4: Old Defense, like right out as a rookie, right and
Speaker 4: ultimately he'll be first team Old Defense.
Speaker 1: But so he hits the ground running on that.
Speaker 4: Offensively, he's still really good, but he's going to get
Speaker 4: way better. If you guys now, Kawhi Leonard was a
Speaker 4: mid first round pick, so it was like everyone and
Speaker 4: he went to a small college and all this, but
Speaker 4: he was ready to go defensively out the gate, and
Speaker 4: then he turned himself into one of the best offense
Speaker 4: like he's just been hurt so much. People forget he
Speaker 4: single handedly led Toronto to a championship defensively and offensively.
Speaker 1: He became unbeatable in the mid range.
Speaker 4: And the thing about Cooper flag that I'm curious about
Speaker 4: is the thing that made Kawhi Leonard so unique is
Speaker 4: he was just so physically stronger than everybody else. And
Speaker 4: it started with his gigantic palma dump truck hands. But
Speaker 4: he just bodied everybody and they moved. And so I
Speaker 4: look at Cooper flag frame and it's great, and I
Speaker 4: wonder can he end up being that physically imposing the
Speaker 4: way Kahi?
Speaker 6: And it's something that John Shire, is coach at Duke,
Speaker 6: was on him quite a bit the first two months
Speaker 6: of last season. The most common conversation he had, and
Speaker 6: he told this to Mike Marshall, Machine and me on
Speaker 6: the MAVs podcast previewing the draft. Good pick, really cool
Speaker 6: series when we got to talk with Shier, his high
Speaker 6: school coach, Kevin Boyle and others.
Speaker 1: If you haven't watched it, go back and watch it.
Speaker 1: It's going to carry because of the way you guys know,
Speaker 1: laid it all out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And what struck me was what Shire says like,
Speaker 6: I can't repeat the words that I use to frame
Speaker 6: this to him, but you've got to be more assertive.
Speaker 6: We are at our best when you are bodying him inside.
Speaker 1: There is no one that can check you. And coming
Speaker 1: back from the Christmas.
Speaker 6: Break, he was a different player offensively, and then he
Speaker 6: was setting the ace. You see freshman scoring record with
Speaker 6: forty two points against Notre Dame And.
Speaker 1: Did you just took off?
Speaker 4: Did you see the usage rate stat stuff and who
Speaker 4: he compared to in college? I don't have it in
Speaker 4: front of me, but basically it was the same sort
Speaker 4: of usage rate that Steph Curry had at Davidson. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and this is not a guard right, And me and
Speaker 4: Ben were talking comps and when I watched him play,
Speaker 4: and a lot of it had to do with his
Speaker 4: size and the fluidity of his handle. He very much
Speaker 4: reminded me of lamar Odom. And that may be a
Speaker 4: bad word around here, but lamar Odom was. I mean,
Speaker 4: people compared him to Magic Johnson and the ability to
Speaker 4: pass off the dribble. And it's one thing to go
Speaker 4: with guy's got handles, but as you get bigger, that
Speaker 4: changes because of your space to the ground and so
Speaker 4: I look at fluidity of movement and the ability to
Speaker 4: make pinpoint passes off the dribble, and there's just a
Speaker 4: natural athletic flow to that that some guys have or
Speaker 4: some guys don't have. Magic Johnson was six' nine and
Speaker 4: the way he handled the, ball he just could do
Speaker 4: everything off the dribble the way a six to three
Speaker 4: guy could. Do and WHEN i was Watching Cooper, flag
Speaker 4: that's what struck me, offensively not his jumper or his
Speaker 4: back to the.
Speaker 1: Basket he's got all that.
Speaker 4: STUFF i was, like his fluidity of movement with the
Speaker 4: ball reminds me of Lamar. Odom and so we already
Speaker 4: know he's an elite defensive, player but that sort of
Speaker 4: natural inate ability gives.
Speaker 1: You a chance to expand your game in so many
Speaker 1: different ways because of what you can do physically.
Speaker 2: QUICK i think this is amazing because because we're getting
Speaker 2: a No Cooper flag. Too Ace flag is as older
Speaker 2: or a young, yeah by one a, minute and he's
Speaker 2: a great player in his own, RIGHT i think at
Speaker 2: the at The university Of, maine but he's not the
Speaker 2: number one pick in the.
Speaker 1: Trap. NO i just think it's amazing what a minute can.
Speaker 1: Do it's it's.
Speaker 6: Insane that's Where kat tells somebody very special of a
Speaker 6: lot of, women say that let's get let's get.
Speaker 1: One i'll need one more. MINUTE i.
Speaker 4: Didn't i've been aware Of Cooper flag for, years BUT
Speaker 4: i didn't ever allow myself to fully invest in it
Speaker 4: BECAUSE i never thought he would be a. Maverick and
Speaker 4: even right up into the moment we found out we
Speaker 4: were getting the number one, PICK i lost my.
Speaker 1: Mind the rest of the.
Speaker 4: NIGHT i was with my Son, max who's here with,
Speaker 4: us and we had gone to see a, movie and
Speaker 4: then after the movie we stayed.
Speaker 1: Up for hours watching highlights and so the.
Speaker 4: THING i was admittedly embarrassingly not super familiar with his,
Speaker 4: game just From, afar and AS i was watching, HIGHLIGHTS
Speaker 4: i saw him get a steal in a game and
Speaker 4: he was back on his end of the court, defensively
Speaker 4: and he started to push the ball up the floor
Speaker 4: and there was a, guard a much smaller guy than
Speaker 4: him in between at about the half court. Mark and
Speaker 4: he did not slow. Down he did not, Say, oh
Speaker 4: here's a guard who's gonna take the ball away from.
Speaker 1: Me he was, like, Yeah i'm running by.
Speaker 4: You and he had the longest strides And i'm, like,
Speaker 4: what he just blew by the. Guy and then a
Speaker 4: guy met him at the rim and he didn't, Say,
Speaker 4: oh this guy's at the, RIM.
Speaker 1: I better pull up and pull the. Ball he's, Like
Speaker 1: i'm gonna dug on your soul and he just went
Speaker 1: in and. FLOW i was, like, wait what we're getting?
Speaker 1: That we're getting.
Speaker 4: That i've just been trying to wrap my brain around
Speaker 4: how good he's gonna be day one and how good
Speaker 4: he could end up. Being and you, know just for
Speaker 4: a franchise that is, devastated devastated after The luca, trade
Speaker 4: just fully, devastated Just luca back with The lakers crying
Speaker 4: in this, arena fans, crying you, know leaving the, tea all,
Speaker 4: that and, somehow, wait you got the number one pick
Speaker 4: in a year where.
Speaker 1: It matters that you have the number one.
Speaker 4: Pick i'm having a hard time just even wrapping my
Speaker 4: brain around the emotion of. It it's it's one of
Speaker 4: the greatest THINGS i can remember happening in my entire
Speaker 4: life as a.
Speaker 6: Fan, yeah you don't use all that luck to Draft Zachary,
Speaker 6: recesschet which he might.
Speaker 1: Be which Layer that's, right.
Speaker 4: There's still a debate on how much he changes your.
Speaker 4: Team there's no debate. Here, no it's truly a generational.
Speaker 4: Talent and, again get, it he's super. Young, yes he
Speaker 4: doesn't turn nineteen Until.
Speaker 1: December it's.
Speaker 6: Ridiculous if he's born speaking a one, minute take just eleven.
Speaker 6: Days if he's born eleven days, later he's going to. Duke,
Speaker 6: yeah next, year your son's older than.
Speaker 1: Him, yes we're talking about. That it's.
Speaker 4: Crazy, OKAY i want to ask you this before you,
Speaker 4: go BECAUSE i know you got to get start getting
Speaker 4: ready for the draft.
Speaker 1: Whatever matt does not want to hear.
Speaker 4: That, Okay, so knowing the way the team is right,
Speaker 4: now just it's current, state and that we don't know
Speaker 4: what they may do at the mid level exception or.
Speaker 4: Whatever but knowing, that you Know kyrie's not going to
Speaker 4: be here Till february Or. March on day, one how
Speaker 4: do you play? Him what is this starting lineup for
Speaker 4: The Mavericks.
Speaker 6: Man we've already said how positionless he can, be, right
Speaker 6: that's where the game.
Speaker 1: Is it's not just where it's.
Speaker 6: Going but, yeah if you have to slot him into the,
Speaker 6: THREE i guess that's where it. Is but can you
Speaker 6: imagine just that front line With flag with a HEALTHY
Speaker 6: ad With Derek lively or gafferck Take lively, there seven foot,
Speaker 6: wingspan seven six wingspan On, ad seven to nine wingspan On.
Speaker 1: Lively that is. RIDICULOUS i think it's a tricky thing
Speaker 1: to pull. Off but if it's me.
Speaker 4: Day, one just because of the, Circumstances i'm starting him at,
Speaker 4: two And i'm PLAYING.
Speaker 1: Pj Washington junior at, Three interesting.
Speaker 4: Eighty at, Four lively at, Five and IF i don't
Speaker 4: have another, guard Then i'm honestly Starting Naji marshall next to,
Speaker 4: him And i'm playing that style of basketball Until kyrie
Speaker 4: gets back and THEN i have to Pull clay aside and,
Speaker 4: go hey, man, right, sorry right, right, yeah but you,
Speaker 4: KNOW i, mean ideally you have some point. Guard you,
Speaker 4: know we'll see how it'll better and fill in the.
Speaker 4: Blank but in your, opinion is it crazy to try
Speaker 4: to play him at the two in THIS? Nba, no not,
Speaker 4: again to be with what you laid out and the
Speaker 4: versatility that still presents and the versatility that he, represents
Speaker 4: try to score on that, team, yeah, right because he's
Speaker 4: not going to have a problem going guarding the other
Speaker 4: team's too, NO.
Speaker 1: I think he will.
Speaker 4: Be he will be guarding the other team's best perimeter
Speaker 4: player in most. Situations THAT meanjj did like P j Covered,
Speaker 4: Shay so it's not.
Speaker 1: That and that's What Jason kidd. Loves Jason kidd loves
Speaker 1: a bunch of. Rangy that's, why you.
Speaker 4: Know, meanwhile Like cuban does What yannis and kids, like
Speaker 4: that's a point, guard, Right like just you have to
Speaker 4: have guys rethink the way basketball is, now AND i
Speaker 4: think that we. Can it's okay for us to try
Speaker 4: to rethink how to Use cooper flag in the MODERN.
Speaker 1: Nba.

Speaker 4: Better he'll be the, matter he'll be A. Maverick as
Speaker 4: what time is the pick gonna?
Speaker 2: Happen, YEAH i mean, seven probably, seven, ten seven, fifteen rightf,
Speaker 2: that because the draft will starts on. Seven so this, is,
Speaker 2: uh the mystery behind it is not here like it
Speaker 2: was The Luca, draft and that was the last time
Speaker 2: we were this, Close so that that part is a
Speaker 2: little strange because we're frankly not used to our teams
Speaker 2: having the number one pick in the.
Speaker 1: Draft, YEAH i you, KNOW i.
Speaker 4: Was thinking about all the number one picks overall IN
Speaker 4: dfw supports. HISTORY i go back TO i think it
Speaker 4: was nineteen eighty, one The mavericks. Launch in nineteen eighty,
Speaker 4: one they Drafted mark, McGuire the number one overall. Pick
Speaker 4: that was my favorite. Player that's WHEN i fell in
Speaker 4: love with. Basketball at that, TIME i was. Eleven and you,
Speaker 4: know of Course troy Aik.
Speaker 1: Ben troy what year was, that eight eight.
Speaker 4: Eighty, eight eighty, nine ninety somewhere in there and obviously
Speaker 4: went on to do great things as page. Buckets they,
Speaker 4: just of course just just had. One BUT i can't
Speaker 4: think of. Another and plus sometimes you get the number
Speaker 4: one pick and it doesn't. Matter it's just a draft
Speaker 4: where there's not a for sure number. One this is
Speaker 4: a draft Where Cooper flag. Is people are saying one
Speaker 4: of the best two way prospects Since Anthony. Davis you,
Speaker 4: know this guy is a can't miss rock star and
Speaker 4: they got, him and, uh you know this this organization,
Speaker 4: deeply deeply needed. It if you think about just how
Speaker 4: traumatized this team's fan base was from Trading, luca we
Speaker 4: were all blindsided by, That and for, ME i still
Speaker 4: think it's the worst trade in the history of. Trading
Speaker 4: like it's a terrible. TRADE i wouldn't do that trade
Speaker 4: in a millionaires for any. REASON i would never make that.
Speaker 4: Trade you cannot justify that. Trade but if you look
Speaker 4: at it and you're, Like, okay you Got Anthony davis,
Speaker 4: back you Got Max, christie you got a first round,
Speaker 4: pick and you Get Cooper, flag.
Speaker 1: Now obviously that's not what the trade.
Speaker 4: WAS i don't believe in conspiracies AND i don't believe
Speaker 4: in all, that but that's the net. Net and so for,
Speaker 4: Me i'm not Gonna i've been A MAVs fan my
Speaker 4: whole life since eighty and so If i'm not gonna
Speaker 4: leave The. MAVERICKS i thought about, it but EVENTUALLY i
Speaker 4: would have come around and been A MAVs fan. Again
Speaker 4: but WHAT i love most is. Hope when you have
Speaker 4: a young star with a, big bright, future you have.
Speaker 4: Hope and now they've got the youngest player in the,
Speaker 4: league they're about to have, him and they've got.
Speaker 1: Hope and So i'm. Back I'm i'm able to.
Speaker 4: Compartmentalize, YES i thought that was a terrible, Trade But
Speaker 4: i'm not mad at The.
Speaker 1: MAVs i'm moving.
Speaker 2: ON i know there's a certain portion of the fan
Speaker 2: base that is still clinging to, well it wasn't supposed to. Happen, still,
Speaker 2: though that trade is almost like now that you ended
Speaker 2: up with a number one, pick it almost rewards the
Speaker 2: issue that the, trade like the stupidity of the trade
Speaker 2: or whatever you want to call.
Speaker 1: It AND i get, that BUT i would also.
Speaker 2: Say, like when something like that happens out of nowhere
Speaker 2: and it's not expected to, happen there's a lot of
Speaker 2: things in life that work that. Way if your parents
Speaker 2: didn't meet and then have relations with each, other you wouldn't. Exist,
Speaker 2: like there's so many things that happen on a day
Speaker 2: to day, basis and you didn't jump into. Traffic you,
Speaker 2: know if you jumped into the traffic five minutes, earlier
Speaker 2: you might.
Speaker 1: Have been in that.
Speaker 2: Collision so kind of Like, butterfly just, yeah it's just
Speaker 2: the way life goes and it worked out really well for.
Speaker 2: Us so to, me it feels almost greedy to still
Speaker 2: be like up in arms about things and you can
Speaker 2: still have concerns in issues with how the thing might
Speaker 2: be ran going. Forward but, OVERALL i just think it's
Speaker 2: one of those things where you, Go, wow it's been
Speaker 2: a crazy six, months And i'm way it's unbelievable to
Speaker 2: feel the way we feel now compared to how we
Speaker 2: were feeling In.
Speaker 4: April, right because even if they had the number two,
Speaker 4: PICK i wouldn't be over The luca, trade but the
Speaker 4: fact that it's number, one when there's a transcendent number one. Player,
Speaker 4: christina you talked, EARLIER i think you made a good
Speaker 4: point about you think it's gonna help you heal with
Speaker 4: The luca trade Once Cooper flag is actually in a
Speaker 4: jersey and playing for The.
Speaker 7: MAVs, yeah, because like you, said the whole trade was
Speaker 7: just such a blind. Side i'm still just scared that
Speaker 7: it might happen. AGAIN i don't think it, will But
Speaker 7: ted earlier got me excited, too because one thing About, luca, like,
Speaker 7: yes he's a great, player but he made basketball so
Speaker 7: fun to, Watch LIKE i loved just Watching. LUCA i
Speaker 7: still love Watching, Luca like you can be a mass
Speaker 7: fan and A luca. Fan it's okay, Anyway but So
Speaker 7: Cooper flag AND i watched a few highlights as, well
Speaker 7: like he has that as, well like he's really good at,
Speaker 7: basketball but he's fun to. Watch he does these really
Speaker 7: cool things you don't see other players, do and he
Speaker 7: makes it look easy and again. Fun So i'm just
Speaker 7: excited to have them watching this. AGAIN i, Mean kyrie
Speaker 7: is fun to watch as, well but he's been hurt. Whatever,
Speaker 7: ANYWAY i.
Speaker 2: Think it's a big part of this is like we
Speaker 2: haven't experienced anything With Cooper flag. Yet, yeah very few
Speaker 2: of us went and watched a ton Of duke basketball last,
Speaker 2: Year like until you experienced these good times with him
Speaker 2: in A MAV's. Uniform we had questions About. Luca we
Speaker 2: didn't know when we got looka we we thought it
Speaker 2: was cool that it, happened but we still didn't. Know
Speaker 2: we were not.
Speaker 1: Sure and then it became.
Speaker 2: You, know the stories had come out like oh, yeah
Speaker 2: he's taken over practice and before pre in training camp
Speaker 2: and things like, that and you, Know dirk said some
Speaker 2: good things about. Him so like that's where it's GONNA
Speaker 2: i think bring a lot of people back in is
Speaker 2: when just just having good things.
Speaker 1: HAPPEN i want to play a couple of.
Speaker 2: Things yesterday he had a pre draft press, conference as
Speaker 2: a lot of players, did and he can't acknowledge that
Speaker 2: he is going to be picked by The Dallas, mavericks.
Speaker 1: Like cause it's not official and he's just not allowed
Speaker 1: to talk about.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 2: Uh max was telling us a little bit, earlier Like
Speaker 2: duke put out a congrats To Dallas MAVs in a
Speaker 2: video Of cooper, fight like they can do, That like
Speaker 2: no one in THE nba can do that right, Now
Speaker 2: so he's getting asked all these questions and he can't
Speaker 2: say anything about The. Mavericks SO i just thought you
Speaker 2: guys would like some of the things that happened this
Speaker 2: pre draft press, Conference like how about this question when
Speaker 2: he was, asked do you like?
Speaker 1: Lobster being from?
Speaker 6: Me do you like?

Speaker 2: YEAH i mean his family's prepped for this for a.
Speaker 1: While you, know the.
Speaker 4: Idea of you, know we've talked about this a lot
Speaker 4: here In Dallas Fort, worth where the idea Of Tony
Speaker 4: romo going on a, vacation where it's, like why are

Speaker 4: throwing a football through rubber, tire you, know throwing it
Speaker 4: through the. Hole and why are you just looking at game?

Speaker 4: Know and so you want these guys to be. Robots
Speaker 4: Sean lee was like, that an absolute robot who's just
Speaker 4: anytime he's not, playing he's looking at film or lifting.
Speaker 4: Weights but then you get guys where they're like they
Speaker 4: have big personalities and they're on social, media Like Derek

Speaker 4: schwartz and anger impressions get back in the you, know you,

Speaker 4: Media stay away from social. Media there's really not much
Speaker 4: good that happens on social. MEDIA i, mean there's a
Speaker 4: bunch of toxicity and. Poison don't ever let these people,
Speaker 4: say guy just eating a tweaky on his couch.
Speaker 1: Can critique your. Game you don't need to see everyone's.
Speaker 2: Opinion this is the Thing i'd, say like The luca,
Speaker 2: thing which is devastating for so many, people it was
Speaker 2: also devastating for so many people who also talk trash
Speaker 2: About luca.
Speaker 1: Actively as A mask, Fan yes you loved, him but
Speaker 1: you got mad at his.
Speaker 2: Lack of effort on, defense or his inability to stay
Speaker 2: in shape and all that.
Speaker 1: Stuff yelling at the rest on every.
Speaker 2: Call you can't act like that's the only thing that,
Speaker 2: was because we were all bitching about that, too and,
Speaker 2: like du.
Speaker 1: What the world?
Speaker 4: Is SO i look around the league and you look
Speaker 4: at all these achilles injuries now you, know and they
Speaker 4: they come from strained. Calves and then if you, know
Speaker 4: if you look at What boston's, Doing, okay our best
Speaker 4: player towards. Achilles we have to get rid of the.
Speaker 4: Team we have to get rid of, everyone so we're
Speaker 4: not you, know in this luxury. Tax and it's like,
Speaker 4: you it can bury your franchise if one of your
Speaker 4: best players has to miss an entire year with an achilles.
Speaker 1: Issue And luca had three and three calf in in two.
Speaker 1: Years and so, yeah, man it's just. This you, know it's.
Speaker 1: Hard it's hard to not.
Speaker 4: Tie cooper flag back To luca because it all happened
Speaker 4: in such close proximity to.
Speaker 1: Itself, then if you had.
Speaker 2: One seat to give to a, celebrity you're gonna sit
Speaker 2: court side at a game with. Someone he had one
Speaker 2: seat to get to a, celebrity who would it?
Speaker 4: Be probably my Guy Tom. Cruise we got a lot
Speaker 4: to catch. Up we've gone through a lot. TOGETHER i
Speaker 4: probably want to hang out with my Gut. Tom here
Speaker 4: Was Cooper flagg's.
Speaker 1: Answer you one sea court. Side that's a good.
Speaker 9: QUESTION i don't know if you Count Larry bird is a,
Speaker 9: celebrity but that.

Speaker 4: know what you, know If dirk will Be you, know
Speaker 4: we've heard a lot about this with The luca trade
Speaker 4: and the moves that The MAVs have made that have
Speaker 4: gotten away from some of the Guys dirk, loves And
Speaker 4: dirk hasn't really been around that, much and SO i
Speaker 4: don't know if he'll have a relationship With Cooper.

Speaker 9: It you, Know i'll do whatever you know coach wants
Speaker 9: me to.
Speaker 4: Do i'll play any.
Speaker 9: Role so for, me it's about just doing a ton
Speaker 9: of different things with the. COURT i, think LIKE i said,
Speaker 9: earlier because being an impact, player you, know impacting both
Speaker 9: sides of the ball at a high level and impacting
Speaker 9: winning at a high. Level so where that's you, know
Speaker 9: getting it off the you, know the room in a
Speaker 9: rebound and pushing a. Transition that's SOMETHING i feel LIKE
Speaker 9: i can do at a high.
Speaker 1: Level SO i would love to do.
Speaker 9: That or if it's playing off, ball you, know, cutting,
Speaker 9: slashing spotting, up you, Know I'm i'm ready to do
Speaker 9: whatever whatever that may.
Speaker 2: BE i don't think it's the most exciting interview, yet you,
Speaker 2: know but maybe you, know in time that'll. Come right,
Speaker 2: now he's just going through the process of having everyone watching.
Speaker 7: Him and, yeah he'll get more comfortable and he can
Speaker 7: actually talk about being A dallas Maver.
Speaker 1: Right, GOD i love the, answer, though great. ANSWER i
Speaker 1: love the. Answer it's like he was made at a.
Speaker 2: Laboratory this is the, thing like We've another thing that
Speaker 2: was infuriating about The luca trade was we had spent
Speaker 2: all this time and attention to detail and building a
Speaker 2: team around him and had done that and gone to
Speaker 2: the finals and, lost and then even though he was,
Speaker 2: hurt still we were kind of dunking on the thunder
Speaker 2: the two times we played, them once with him and
Speaker 2: once without.
Speaker 1: Him it is, like this is kind of our. Year
Speaker 1: we don't have to go shake things.
Speaker 2: Up we had built everything around, him but if you
Speaker 2: could take yourself away from, that building Around Cooper flag
Speaker 2: is so. Simple because of, that they just said kind
Speaker 2: of do. Everything you don't have to just go we
Speaker 2: have to get shooters around. Him you can do everything.
Speaker 2: Everything So i'm pretty jacked about, this AND i, think like,
Speaker 2: again because we've known what's gonna, Happen he's gonna get picked.
Speaker 1: Tonight it's that part's been hard for me to kind
Speaker 1: of get.
Speaker 2: Excited but the more talking about, it and in a,

Speaker 1: Delivered My mark McGuire was a phenomenal player for The.
Speaker 4: Mavericks, yeah led the league in, SCORING i, believe or

Speaker 2: Man i'm glad they're doing. That and he seems, like,
Speaker 2: yeah pumped about this that was kind of. Neat well
Speaker 2: he lived, it but like you, know this is from
Speaker 2: the excitement.
Speaker 1: One that's pretty.
Speaker 4: Cool, yeah and you know they've had small draft parties
Speaker 4: before moon you got the twelve pick or.
Speaker 2: Something, dude you, know just you, know you know when
Speaker 2: they Got Derek lively at The Echo lounge when that,
Speaker 2: happened and it was, Like, okay this is, great kind of,
Speaker 2: celebrated but let me be nothing like.
Speaker 1: This, no it don't mean nothing like.
Speaker 4: This this is, uh this is like Having zion Or
Speaker 4: Anthony davis as your draft pick or some guy that
Speaker 4: the whole world says this is for sure the number
Speaker 4: one player and then everyone else is behind.
Speaker 2: Him The MAVs are getting that Got so there's a
Speaker 2: big article that dropped yesterday from ESPN's Baxter holmes is his,
Speaker 2: name and it's kind of about the family and what
Speaker 2: they've been going through through all this and what happened
Speaker 2: been on the night of the draft. Lottery because we'll
Speaker 2: podcast all the segments later you can get them on
Speaker 2: The iHeart. App but earlier were talking about where we
Speaker 2: all were when we found out that The maverick are
Speaker 2: getting the number one. Pick, well they were at the draft,
Speaker 2: Lottery and before they, went they got in their hotel,
Speaker 2: room his, mom his, dad and his twin, Brother.
Speaker 1: Ace And Ace. Flag great, Name oh are you a?
Speaker 1: Spy good? Name I'm Ace.
Speaker 2: Flag and they talked, About, okay let's talk about the
Speaker 2: three teams that is probably gonna, be because that's what
Speaker 2: the probability. Said it's gonna be The Washington, wizards The
Speaker 2: Utah jazz are The Charlotte. Hornets and they talked about
Speaker 2: all the. Pros washington is real close To. Maine Charlotte east,
Speaker 2: coast real close To. Maine wouldn't be a hard time
Speaker 2: To you could split your time In, washington Dinner. Charlotte
Speaker 2: they talked about The. Jazz they apparently were Big Boston
Speaker 2: celtics fans growing, up so they Knew Danny. Ainge, Right
Speaker 2: so there's The but they also talked about the, negatives
Speaker 2: and the negatives of each of those situations is those are.
Speaker 2: Losers Not it's not hell like they, said but those
Speaker 2: are teams who have lost for a long.
Speaker 1: Time And Cooper flag has never.
Speaker 2: Lost he only. Wins so to go, Here, wow they
Speaker 2: had never thought it one. Time they never thought it could,
Speaker 2: happen and for, him to end up. Here they were,
Speaker 2: like oh my, god and they were as happy as
Speaker 2: we were because they Knew Kyrie irving plays, Here Anthony
Speaker 2: davis plays. HERE i guarantee you who Knows Derek Lively
Speaker 2: derek two years ago From Dukes.
Speaker 1: Thompson Forget, thompson.
Speaker 4: And it's it's it's, look it's there's so many wounds
Speaker 4: here because of The luca. Trade but you, Know skin
Speaker 4: was talking about That houston game where everybody was healthy
Speaker 4: for a half Before Anthony davis got hurt and The
Speaker 4: MAVs looked. GOOD i, mean you couldn't understand them getting
Speaker 4: that much older and taking another injury from. Player and
Speaker 4: we were still broken hearted Over, luca but you could
Speaker 4: see the way they were playing and contesting every, shot
Speaker 4: playing with defense first, mentality and you were, like, okay,
Speaker 4: okay we're gonna be pretty. Good, Obviously ad got hurt
Speaker 4: then and it screwed everything, up but you can, understand you,
Speaker 4: know what they're trying to, do why they're trying to
Speaker 4: build the team that.
Speaker 1: Way they're gonna be, really really. Good and typically the
Speaker 1: team that.
Speaker 4: Ends up with one of the top picks is going
Speaker 4: to be a team that is losing every single, night
Speaker 4: and If kyrie hadn't have gotten, hurt The mavericks would
Speaker 4: have been in the.
Speaker 1: Playoffs they would have been a playoff team With.
Speaker 4: Kyrie and SO i understand people are like a, conspiracy
Speaker 4: but for this to be a, Conspiracy Kyrie irving would
Speaker 4: have had to fake a knee injury because if he
Speaker 4: hadn't gotten, hurt they would have been in the.
Speaker 1: Playoffs they wouldn't have had a chance to have the
Speaker 1: number one.
Speaker 2: Pick it goes back to this THING i skin said it,
Speaker 2: before is LIKE i need someone who really believes this
Speaker 2: to walk me through these specific mechanisms in place to rig,
Speaker 2: It like tell me specifically how this. Happens it's not
Speaker 2: just a ping pong ball out of the thing like
Speaker 2: people think it. Is there's combination thanks to it and
Speaker 2: things like, That like it's a way deeper. Thing and
Speaker 2: every time you ask someone like who does think it's a?
Speaker 2: Conspiracy and you ask them that, question they don't have an,
Speaker 2: answer and that tells.
Speaker 1: You it's not a. Conspiracy it's just.
Speaker 2: Not The MAVs got, lucky. Dude This Nikola harrison's ass was.
Speaker 2: Saved like just be really clear about. That it was,
Speaker 2: saved And i'm sure they all know, that and it's
Speaker 2: fine because it's, Okay like you just never know what's
Speaker 2: gonna happen in.
Speaker 1: Life and we got.
Speaker 2: Lucky and we'd never gotten lucky though in THE nba draft. Lottery,
Speaker 2: no The Dennis Smith junior, year the years and the.
Speaker 1: Nineties and they're so.
Speaker 2: Bad we've never gotten lucky in the draft. Lottery so
Speaker 2: maybe it was just our. TIME i know That i'm
