<v Speaker 1>It's awesome again that Sunset Texas dot Com been what

13
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>we you say in moments ago we were talking about

14
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:39.039
<v Speaker 1>the people are calling it a secret press conference, which

15
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that that's fair. It was a private

16
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>press conference. I mean, it's not a secret. People knew

17
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 1>it was happening, but you had to be invited. They

18
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.759
<v Speaker 1>only invited like I think it was twelve members. I

19
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>heard that when I'm not sure the exact number, but

20
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>that's about the size that it was. And I saw

21
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>our Buddy mark Stein of DLLs was on there talking

22
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>about how a horrible way it is to go about

23
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>a press conference, not only yesterday, but what they did

24
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 1>in Cleveland on that Sunday morning. He was going off,

25
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 1>and I've never seen Stein go off on anything, and

26
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 1>I think that speaks volumes as to how emotional all

27
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>of this is and how many missteps from a public

28
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>relations standpoint, the Dallas Maverick seem to keep making. If

29
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 1>mark Stein is going to speak up like that, yeah,

30
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>And I want to be so careful about this because

31
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I respect Dirk so much and I don't want to

32
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>speak for him or pretend that I know anything I don't.

33
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I just what I wanted to bring up is that

34
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Tim McMahon has been making the rounds and he's been

35
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>talking to a lot of radio shows and podcasts. Obviously

36
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>he was the strawsturing the drink at this press conference thing,

37
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 1>and he's been going around and talking about an article

38
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 1>that he's planning to release the minute the mav season

39
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 1>is over, and a couple of the places where I've

40
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>seen it posted is they've said that Tim McMahon is

41
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about how Dirk became at odds with

42
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 1>the organization. Again, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying

43
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>what I've seen out there that's coming down the road.

44
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>And so for a MAVs fan, you're looking at, Okay,

45
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>they got rid of Luca and somehow they've alienated Dirk,

46
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Like what how do I process that? All on the

47
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 1>night of a plane Like, it's a lot to take in.

48
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>So as a Maps fan, you're like, wait, they lost

49
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven, they lost forty one. What is happening like

50
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>as the sky fall. So whatever McMahon is talking about,

51
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what it is, I can't wait

52
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to read it the minute it comes out. Yeah. Same.

53
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But I also think what's been happening is local people,

54
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>MAVs fans have suddenly gone Wait a second, I thought

55
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 1>McMahon was a Nico Harrison mouthpiece. I thought he was

56
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>tearing down Luca with all these lies, Like wait, what

57
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Now he's the one asking the tough questions And now

58
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they're carrying McMahon on their shoulders. And we've been trying

59
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to say this to anyone who will listen. We've known

60
00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Tim McMahon very well. We worked with him at Hea

61
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Pien Dallas I almost got in a fistfight with Tim

62
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 1>McMahon at a basketball court in Miami. He do an

63
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>elbow and he throws elbows. That's the way he plays.

64
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm soft, and so I would have put that

65
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 1>on me if that had happened. But he's he's a friend,

66
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 1>and he is the best at what he does that

67
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen in my media career. What I mean

68
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>is asking the tough questions. I could be sitting next

69
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to Rick Carlisle and he could look at me with

70
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>those cold dead shark eyes and stare laser beams through

71
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.599
<v Speaker 1>my soul and I might wet my pants. McMahon would

72
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>look right at him and tear his ass down. McMahon

73
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>fears no one. McMahon is in no one's pocket. He

74
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do anyone's bidding. He just asked the toughest questions

75
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>on Earth. And so if you're a MAVs fan and

76
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you've been thinking that he had some agenda, was in

77
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 1>someone's pocket, you're a dumb ass. I think what it

78
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>is as I think people read what they want to

79
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>read with the they read with confirmation bias. Yeah, and

80
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>what Tim does is Tim wants to give you both

81
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 1>sides of the story. Like again, when I tried talk

82
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 1>about this, I want to present it as I wouldn't

83
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>have done the trade. I wouldn't have That's not the

84
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 1>way that I believe about basketball. I've also never run

85
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>a basketball team, so no one is, hey, what kind

86
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of trades would you make? Right? Like when I was

87
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.319
<v Speaker 1>younger and more naive and arrogant, I thought I can

88
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 1>do this. I was wrong. Okay, But my whole point

89
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>is we all have opinions, and that's fine. They can

90
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 1>be validated however you want to validate it. But people

91
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 1>read stuff to the degree they want to read it.

92
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's probably inaccurate that Luca's this scott

93
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 1>free angel that's never done anything wrong and evil Nico

94
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>shipped him off. Like, I think that's probably inaccurate. And

95
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I can say that telling you whatever problems Luca does

96
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>or doesn't have, I wouldn't have traded him. I would

97
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 1>have gone, Okay, how can I fix this? Because I

98
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>believe that there's certain players in basketball that are so

99
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>uniquely talented you have to figure out how to make

100
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>them work if there are deficiencies. That's the way I

101
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 1>look at it. Okay, Nico didn't look at it this way,

102
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>and he said this over and over and that press conference,

103
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 1>and I told you, guys, is when it happened. He

104
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.079
<v Speaker 1>targeted Anthony Davis. That's who he wanted. So we can

105
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>sit here old and go. He didn't get enough for him,

106
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 1>not in his mind. In his mind, he can win

107
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>a championship with Anthony Davis because that's what he believes

108
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis is. And he said that, he said it

109
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>over and over. We targeted Anthony Davis. Defense wins championships.

110
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>That's how he believes he's gonna go win a championship.

111
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying he's right. I'm not saying he's wrong.

112
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying that's what the man believes. And so the

113
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.279
<v Speaker 1>reason I'm saying all this in context of Tim McMahon,

114
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Tim McMahon is gonna write things that if you're think

115
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Luca's Jesus, you're gonna think Tim McMahon screwing you over.

116
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 1>He's also gonna write things. And if you're in Nico

117
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Harrison's family, you think Tim's out to get you because

118
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>he's presenting both sides. And he told Nico that yesterday.

119
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 1>It's in the transcript, he said, who cares what I think?

120
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking trying to get an answer to this question

121
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>on logic. My opinion doesn't matter, like he said that

122
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 1>to Nico, And that's what I would say on all

123
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the people that think he's out to get Luca. He

124
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't think his opinion on Luca matters. He wants to

125
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 1>give everybody every bit of this story so people can

126
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>try to understand how a twenty five year old generational

127
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 1>talent is traded in the middle of the night for

128
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>a return that ninety eight percent of the people out

129
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 1>there perceive is not enough. That's what Tim McMahon's job is,

130
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>and he busts his ass to try to do it.

131
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 1>He ain't pro Nico, he ain't pro Cuban, he ain't

132
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>pro Luca, he ain't pro Dirk. He's trying to do

133
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>his effin' job. Sorry, we're gonna get back into the

134
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>preview for tonight's game and talk to Little Maps coming

135
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>up at five point thirty, so don't miss that. But

136
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 1>coming up next, we're gonna get into did I watch

137
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 1>a show that Katie's been begging us to watch? We

138

00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 1>famous Ben and Skin show. On ninety seven point one,

141
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>The Eagle
