Speaker 1: All right, So Ben, we walk into a Twisted Root
Speaker 1: Burger Company location around the Metroplex. You start building your
Speaker 1: own burger because you can do that. Now, what are
Speaker 1: you putting on that, hope? I'm going going with that
Speaker 1: fat half pound patty? Oh yes, chef, that's right. I'm
Speaker 1: going with a little mayonnaise, yes, chef, a little cheddar
Speaker 1: oh yes, yeah, a little bacon yes, yet, little pickle
Speaker 1: action yes yet? Make sure you better them buns. Ah girl.
Speaker 1: Maybe a little avocado, yes, maybe a little cilantro yes.
Speaker 1: Ya know what I'm saying. I can put whatever I
Speaker 1: want it because I'm the chef. It's incredible what you
Speaker 1: just did. Thank you, And I love the phrase a
Speaker 1: little pickle action. You can get in on all of
Speaker 1: that and go to any of the area Twisted Root
Speaker 1: Burger companies mention Ben and Skin and get ten percent off.
Speaker 1: How great is that? Keep it twisted, my friends. It's
Speaker 1: the good folks over at the Twisted Root Burger Company
Speaker 1: coming up at the bottom bottom of this hour, rather
Speaker 1: KT has a world news quiz that we have to take.
Speaker 1: But right now it's time for this. Now it's around
Speaker 1: the sports o K tod quins as all the Sports. Yes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so tomorrow we'll have the NBA Draft, and the Mavericks
Speaker 1: got ahead of it a little bit. They signed Daniel
Speaker 1: Gafford to a three year contract extension somewhere between fifty
Speaker 1: four and sixty million dollars. Do we ever get clarity
Speaker 1: on what that actually ended up being. I think it's
Speaker 1: the fifty four point three million based on the Stein
Speaker 1: reports that that's and I've seen Bobby Marx, who's used
Speaker 1: to work in the Brooklyn Nets front office and now
Speaker 1: is like an ESPN capologist kind of guy, but he
Speaker 1: confirmed that number that if you do an extension. So
Speaker 1: usually when you sign a player to an extension, you
Speaker 1: can't trade them for six months. But apparently, which this
Speaker 1: is a part of the collective bargaining agreement, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that fifty four point three million over three years
Speaker 1: is a number where they're still immediately trade eligible. So
Speaker 1: they sign him at the exact most amount of money
Speaker 1: they could give him and still flip them in a
Speaker 1: trade immediately. So if they so, they basically have the
Speaker 1: option to do either. They either have some of the
Speaker 1: best depth in the league. It's the center position, and god,
Speaker 1: so many other bigs that they have with uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis and Live, I mean Lively and you know
Speaker 1: now Flag, I mean you're so deep at the four.
Speaker 1: Yeah then but you know, you'll you have this big
Speaker 1: front line or you know, maybe they maybe they want
Speaker 1: that depth, or maybe they're going to wheel and deal,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I guess the only way
Speaker 1: I would the only way, you know, is if the
Speaker 1: MAVs had a press conference or he started speaking about
Speaker 1: it right now, right because otherwise they could be this
Speaker 1: could be a part of a bigger thing. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: could be, And I think it just it gives them
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of options. One of the things that
Speaker 1: so there were a lot of the reportings that the
Speaker 1: Mavericks want to keep him and they want to be big,
Speaker 1: and they think that's a benefit and an asset and
Speaker 1: a strength and they want to lean in on that.
Speaker 1: They couldn't do this same deal with PJ. Washington Junior
Speaker 1: because quite frankly, he's worth more money. He's just a
Speaker 1: more in demand style of player in the current NBA
Speaker 1: and if he were to hit the open market then
Speaker 1: he would make more than that. So I don't read
Speaker 1: into this that it's any indication that, okay, they're gonna
Speaker 1: move PJ. Washington Junior. Now, one of the things that
Speaker 1: Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morian News road is that,
Speaker 1: and I've I've heard this too, they're confident that they're
Speaker 1: going to add point guard help and not have to
Speaker 1: do some big trade. Because if you go out there
Speaker 1: and you look, another thing that does time to the
Speaker 1: Mavericks is y'all saw the reporting that they were interested
Speaker 1: in Drew Holiday. That that was you know, confirmed by
Speaker 1: multiple you know, plugged and sources. But he gets traded
Speaker 1: to Portland. Now, the last time Portland traded for Drew Holliday,
Speaker 1: they flipped him a week later. Do you guys remember
Speaker 1: that whole story what happened there? Okay, So he was
Speaker 1: part of the Damian Lillard to Milwaukee trade and he
Speaker 1: got there and him and Chauncey Billups had a long
Speaker 1: talk and he told Chauncey Billups men, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: he's He's well known in the league as like the
Speaker 1: best teammate, the best guy, the sweetest guy, great friend,
Speaker 1: awesome person, incredible father. Like he's just known around the
Speaker 1: league as that guy everyone genuinely loves and respects Drew Holiday,
Speaker 1: and so he got there and Chauncey was even telling him, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I got traded from the Pistons after we won a championship,
Speaker 1: Like I've been through this, I get it. And he's like, man,
Speaker 1: I just want to be on a contender. So Billip's
Speaker 1: listened to him and they facilitated a trade to Boston
Speaker 1: a week later. So he got flipped for Damian Lillard
Speaker 1: and then ironically enough, got traded to Boston and screwed
Speaker 1: over Milwaukee. It's almost kind of like when remember when
Speaker 1: Napoli got traded to Toronto and then traded back to
Speaker 1: the Rangers within the division. So are you saying and
Speaker 1: that it still could be alive? They could be he
Speaker 1: could be a Maverick the I do. I do think that,
Speaker 1: But I always thought it was going to be hard
Speaker 1: for us to get Drew Holliday because he makes thirty
Speaker 1: one dollars and he's dude, he's he's a really good player.
Speaker 1: I would love to have him, but at that money,
Speaker 1: he's thirty five or he had a pretty significant offensive
Speaker 1: dip last year, like it's starting to go the other
Speaker 1: His three point percentage dropped like seven points last year. Now,
Speaker 1: you can have injuries and different things. But I was
Speaker 1: saying all that to say that there is thought that
Speaker 1: the Mavericks are gonna add. I mean, the Chris Paul
Speaker 1: talk is still out there, whether that's valid or not.
Speaker 1: But there's a chance that they can just add point
Speaker 1: guard help to get them over the hump until Kyrie's
Speaker 1: ready and they run it back with this team that
Speaker 1: they wanted to run it back with, but they've added
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag to it. So if you had to guess,
Speaker 1: right now, do you think that the gaffer thing is
Speaker 1: to stay? I do think that. I think so. I
Speaker 1: also think they just made him way more valuable in
Speaker 1: a trade, right because he's locked up now, Like if
Speaker 1: you wanted him, if you're gonna give up, they can
Speaker 1: get more assets for him now. Because he's locked up,
Speaker 1: he's got this year than three years after that. He's
Speaker 1: only twenty five now or something like that, twenty six
Speaker 1: I think, is it twenty five? One of those twenty
Speaker 1: five okay in this last season is maybe he's twenty six, okay,
Speaker 1: but that's basically the prime years of his career. Absolutely
Speaker 1: a reasonable number. Absolutely, Swartenstein just got more than that.
Speaker 1: I think yeah, and I would argue that Hardenstein is
Speaker 1: a better player, but you know, to your point, that's
Speaker 1: and look what it did. It put Oklahoma City over
Speaker 1: the top, like the Mavericks kick their ass on the glass.
Speaker 1: So there's like, all right, let's go get the best
Speaker 1: rebounder we can get. And then they won a championship
Speaker 1: and man, there's a lot of fun stuff happening. And
Speaker 1: we're going to be out there at the AAC tomorrow
Speaker 1: doing our show from three to six. Mav Draft coverage
Speaker 1: simulcast here on the Eagle after it, and of course
Speaker 1: all your coverage right here is brought to you by

Speaker 1: solar solutions. All right. Coming up next it is a
Speaker 1: world news quiz. How much does this dumb show know.
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out.
