00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.479

<v Speaker 1>Burger companies mention Ben and Skin and get ten percent off.

16
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>How great is that? Keep it twisted, my friends. It's

17
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 1>the good folks over at the Twisted Root Burger Company

18
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>coming up at the bottom bottom of this hour, rather

19
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 1>KT has a world news quiz that we have to take.

20
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>But right now it's time for this. Now it's around

21
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 1>the sports o K tod quins as all the Sports. Yes. Yeah,

22
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>so tomorrow we'll have the NBA Draft, and the Mavericks

23
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>got ahead of it a little bit. They signed Daniel

24
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Gafford to a three year contract extension somewhere between fifty

25
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>four and sixty million dollars. Do we ever get clarity

26
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>on what that actually ended up being. I think it's

27
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the fifty four point three million based on the Stein

28
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 1>reports that that's and I've seen Bobby Marx, who's used

29
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>to work in the Brooklyn Nets front office and now

30
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>is like an ESPN capologist kind of guy, but he

31
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>confirmed that number that if you do an extension. So

32
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>usually when you sign a player to an extension, you

33
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>can't trade them for six months. But apparently, which this

34
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 1>is a part of the collective bargaining agreement, I didn't

35
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 1>know that fifty four point three million over three years

36
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>is a number where they're still immediately trade eligible. So

37
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>they sign him at the exact most amount of money

38
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they could give him and still flip them in a

39
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 1>trade immediately. So if they so, they basically have the

40
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 1>option to do either. They either have some of the

41
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>best depth in the league. It's the center position, and god,

42
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 1>so many other bigs that they have with uh, you know,

43
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis and Live, I mean Lively and you know

44
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>now Flag, I mean you're so deep at the four.

45
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah then but you know, you'll you have this big

46
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>front line or you know, maybe they maybe they want

47
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 1>that depth, or maybe they're going to wheel and deal,

48
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know. I guess the only way

49
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I would the only way, you know, is if the

50
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>MAVs had a press conference or he started speaking about

51
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>it right now, right because otherwise they could be this

52
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>could be a part of a bigger thing. Yeah, it

53
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>could be, And I think it just it gives them

54
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous amount of options. One of the things that

55
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 1>so there were a lot of the reportings that the

56
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>Mavericks want to keep him and they want to be big,

57
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 1>and they think that's a benefit and an asset and

58
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 1>a strength and they want to lean in on that.

59
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>They couldn't do this same deal with PJ. Washington Junior

60
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>because quite frankly, he's worth more money. He's just a

61
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>more in demand style of player in the current NBA

62
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>and if he were to hit the open market then

63
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>he would make more than that. So I don't read

64
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>into this that it's any indication that, okay, they're gonna

65
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 1>move PJ. Washington Junior. Now, one of the things that

66
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 1>Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morian News road is that,

67
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and I've I've heard this too, they're confident that they're

68
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>going to add point guard help and not have to

69
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>do some big trade. Because if you go out there

70
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>and you look, another thing that does time to the

71
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Mavericks is y'all saw the reporting that they were interested

72
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>in Drew Holiday. That that was you know, confirmed by

73
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 1>multiple you know, plugged and sources. But he gets traded

74
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>to Portland. Now, the last time Portland traded for Drew Holliday,

75
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>they flipped him a week later. Do you guys remember

76
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that whole story what happened there? Okay, So he was

77
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>part of the Damian Lillard to Milwaukee trade and he

78
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>got there and him and Chauncey Billups had a long

79
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>talk and he told Chauncey Billups men, I mean, I'm

80
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>he's He's well known in the league as like the

81
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>best teammate, the best guy, the sweetest guy, great friend,

82
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>awesome person, incredible father. Like he's just known around the

83
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>league as that guy everyone genuinely loves and respects Drew Holiday,

84
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and so he got there and Chauncey was even telling him, hey, man,

85
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 1>I got traded from the Pistons after we won a championship,

86
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.959
<v Speaker 1>Like I've been through this, I get it. And he's like, man,

87
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I just want to be on a contender. So Billip's

88
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>listened to him and they facilitated a trade to Boston

89
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.879
<v Speaker 1>a week later. So he got flipped for Damian Lillard

90
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 1>and then ironically enough, got traded to Boston and screwed

91
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 1>over Milwaukee. It's almost kind of like when remember when

92
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Napoli got traded to Toronto and then traded back to

93
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.040
<v Speaker 1>the Rangers within the division. So are you saying and

94
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>that it still could be alive? They could be he

95
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>could be a Maverick the I do. I do think that,

96
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>But I always thought it was going to be hard

97
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>for us to get Drew Holliday because he makes thirty

98
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>one dollars and he's dude, he's he's a really good player.

99
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I would love to have him, but at that money,

100
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 1>he's thirty five or he had a pretty significant offensive

101
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>dip last year, like it's starting to go the other

102
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>His three point percentage dropped like seven points last year. Now,

103
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>you can have injuries and different things. But I was

104
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>saying all that to say that there is thought that

105
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 1>the Mavericks are gonna add. I mean, the Chris Paul

106
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 1>talk is still out there, whether that's valid or not.

107
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>But there's a chance that they can just add point

108
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>guard help to get them over the hump until Kyrie's

109
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>ready and they run it back with this team that

110
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to run it back with, but they've added

111
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Flag to it. So if you had to guess,

112
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>right now, do you think that the gaffer thing is

113
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to stay? I do think that. I think so. I

114
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>also think they just made him way more valuable in

115
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a trade, right because he's locked up now, Like if

116
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>you wanted him, if you're gonna give up, they can

117
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>get more assets for him now. Because he's locked up,

118
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 1>he's got this year than three years after that. He's

119
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>only twenty five now or something like that, twenty six

120
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I think, is it twenty five? One of those twenty

121
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>five okay in this last season is maybe he's twenty six, okay,

122
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>but that's basically the prime years of his career. Absolutely

123
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>a reasonable number. Absolutely, Swartenstein just got more than that.

124
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I think yeah, and I would argue that Hardenstein is

125
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a better player, but you know, to your point, that's

126
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and look what it did. It put Oklahoma City over

127
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 1>the top, like the Mavericks kick their ass on the glass.

128
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 1>So there's like, all right, let's go get the best

129
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 1>rebounder we can get. And then they won a championship

130
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and man, there's a lot of fun stuff happening. And

131
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be out there at the AAC tomorrow

132
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.319
