Speaker 1: Have you ever had someone do something that caused you
Speaker 1: to rethink everything that you thought about them and everything
Speaker 1: that you thought you knew about them, Like, there are
Speaker 1: decisions I think that you can make. And I was
Speaker 1: talking about this with a friend the other night, Like,
Speaker 1: there's decisions I think you can make that are so
Speaker 1: egregious and makes so little rational sense that it shakes
Speaker 1: other people's belief in your decision making capabilities. Like I
Speaker 1: see things and I'm like, you did that. Oh well,
Speaker 1: I mean that makes so little sense that very clearly
Speaker 1: a wire is loose or there is some sort of
Speaker 1: flaw in your pattern of thinking that now moving forward,
Speaker 1: I have to put inside of my brain and how
Speaker 1: I think about what you're doing insane. Nico Harrison and
Speaker 1: the Mavericks just signed Kemba Walker as there I don't
Speaker 1: even know, like as a point guard. I am Shooketh honestly,
Speaker 1: and I have questions. I like Nico Harrison a lot.
Speaker 1: I've met him a few times, been around athletes for
Speaker 1: twenty years with Nike. We've talked about that. We've talked
Speaker 1: about that a lot, But there are now questions that
Speaker 1: must be answered. This doesn't make any fucking sense. There
Speaker 1: is as an me seen Kemba Walker anytime Kemba Walker.
Speaker 1: Last time I saw him, he was infuriating Tom Thibodeau
Speaker 1: with his I think he had the worst defensive rating
Speaker 1: in the entire NBA. This just defies logic, this move.
Speaker 1: It's caused me to now turn the laser beam on
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like someone's been flying under
Speaker 1: the radar, flying under radar, and then something happens and
Speaker 1: you're like, all hands on deck, every we need to
Speaker 1: bring all the books out in and we need to
Speaker 1: start pouring over every page because I don't trust you anymore.
Speaker 1: It's like turning a spotlight on a room that has
Speaker 1: had bad lighting and then you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Like this place looks like shit, Oh my god, there's
Speaker 1: dirt everywhere. Is that a cockroach? But for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: nobody's talking about it. Nobody's talking about what's going on
Speaker 1: with the Mavericks. Nobody except for like Reddit Mavericks, Like
Speaker 1: that's a whole other thing, right, but no national media
Speaker 1: is discussing this. So I think we need to do
Speaker 1: a deep dive into the Mavericks, a team that I've
Speaker 1: been keeping my eye on and last season as you
Speaker 1: guys know, they made it all the way to the
Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals, surprised everyone pretty much a lot of
Speaker 1: steam heading into this offseason, but then a lot of
Speaker 1: just to kind of play catch up for people who
Speaker 1: might not be paying attention all the way Like then,
Speaker 1: a couple interesting things happened. First, Jalen Brunson did not
Speaker 1: come back. He signed with the Knicks, even though Mark
Speaker 1: Cuban told the world that the MAVs could pay Jalen
Speaker 1: Brunson more than anyone and that Jalen Brunson wanted to
Speaker 1: come back, which turned out to be false. Jalen Brunson
Speaker 1: did not want to come back, and they could not
Speaker 1: pay Jalen Brunson more than anyone, because they didn't, and
Speaker 1: that turns out to be probably a bigger loss than
Speaker 1: anyone could ever have anticipated. This may have sunk this
Speaker 1: team to levels that we are just yet starting to see.
Speaker 1: Brunson was awesome. We know that when Luca was out
Speaker 1: with the ankle injury, he gave him a secondary scoring option.
Speaker 1: He could drive into the lane, he could kick, he
Speaker 1: was a really good decision maker, he could play good defense.
Speaker 1: And then when he bolted to the Knicks, after basically
Speaker 1: begging the Mavericks to pay him properly. Underpay me, please,
Speaker 1: underpay me. Just give me fourteen million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: That's all I ask. Do it now, please, And they
Speaker 1: were like nope. So after that move, I thought, I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe they'd get Callin Sexton. Maybe they get
Speaker 1: Tias Jones, another primary scorer like Malik Monk, who can
Speaker 1: fill it up from three, who can drive, he can kick,
Speaker 1: He's like a little microwave. I don't know. Or maybe
Speaker 1: they just get somebody steady, veteran role player like Mike Conley.
Speaker 1: But when they didn't do a goddamn thing, I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: Spencer Dinwiddie that this can't be the plan, can it.
Speaker 1: Spencer Dinwidy can't be the plan. He is not that
Speaker 1: You're not that guy. Peal like you're not. So then
Speaker 1: they did another thing. They went out surprised everyone else
Speaker 1: by adding another concern center forward, grab Christian Wood from
Speaker 1: the rockets right underneath the rockets, nose savvy move. I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, that's a nice upgrade. We'll see what
Speaker 1: they do. We'll see, all right, they'll make this move,
Speaker 1: They'll find another guard they'll fix some things. They were
Speaker 1: supposed to get Draggis, friend of Lucas from the Slovenian team.
Speaker 1: Then he came out. It was like came out that
Speaker 1: he was going to be a mascot. He was not
Speaker 1: gonna play any minutes. He's just gonna be Luca's friend
Speaker 1: on the team. And Dragas was like, no, I'm not,
Speaker 1: I'm not just somebody's fucking cheerleader. He's serious. So he bolts,
Speaker 1: he goes to Chicago. He's getting twenty minutes a night,
Speaker 1: by the way, Chicago eighteen minutes per game or something
Speaker 1: like that. And so then then they did get a guard,
Speaker 1: like right when the season started, Facundo Campozo from Denver.
Speaker 1: No shade to Camposo. He gave the Blazers some good
Speaker 1: some good minutes when he was with Denver, like he
Speaker 1: puts some buckets up on our head. He played twenty
Speaker 1: minutes for the Nuggets. But like, come on, he was
Speaker 1: a former teammate of Lucas as well. This is like
Speaker 1: a friend of Lucas show and great glue guy. So
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it was like we appease Luca
Speaker 1: for not signing Dragicic. Okay, well, that's something. They didn't
Speaker 1: do it. They didn't do a lot of things, but
Speaker 1: at least you did something. And then Nico Harrison came
Speaker 1: out and said he was very happy with the way
Speaker 1: that the roster was constructed. And I said to myself,
Speaker 1: that's something that's alarming. Either that's a lie or that's alarming.
Speaker 1: And then Christian Wood comes out and puts up twenty five,
Speaker 1: twenty five, and twenty three in the first three games,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, okay, Nico Harrison, Okay, I see
Speaker 1: what you're doing. You're gonna acclimate Christian Wood into the team,
Speaker 1: play him off the bench, acclimate him into a scoring
Speaker 1: starting player role. Okay, So the secondary score is not
Speaker 1: gonna be a guard. Secondary Score is gonna be a
Speaker 1: big man, all right, got it. Luca can throw lobst him,
Speaker 1: he can create on his own, he can shoot threes. Great, great, great.
Speaker 1: And that lasted about two weeks. Two weeks before the
Speaker 1: chatter got kind of loud. Within MAV's world. There was
Speaker 1: a starting center who is I think one of the
Speaker 1: worst in the league, Javal McGee. He's not played well.
Speaker 1: And if I didn't have friends who I know trained
Speaker 1: Javal McGee. You're probably listening to this podcast. I would
Speaker 1: say something mean, but I'm not going to. I will
Speaker 1: not say Javal McGee is playing like Booty Cheeks. I
Speaker 1: will not say it. And when Dwight Powell then gets
Speaker 1: the start over Javal McGee, when mcguil McGee proved that
Speaker 1: he doesn't have his legs yet, or he's not conditioned yet,
Speaker 1: or whatever Nico Harrison says is going on, they wondered
Speaker 1: what was going on? Hey, when are we gonna see
Speaker 1: Christian Wood start? We got Dwight Powell, we got Javal McGee,
Speaker 1: we got all these boom and crickets from Jason Kidd.
Speaker 1: Then the losses continue to mount up. Triple doubles now
Speaker 1: become the norm for Luca in El's Big El's and
Speaker 1: then all right, what do we do? Then you see
Speaker 1: some drama. Christian Wood comes in the third quarter, they
Speaker 1: lose that game. Lucas like, I like that starting that
Speaker 1: starting group coming in the third quarter. I like Christian Wood.
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd says, that's when we lost the game. Christian
Speaker 1: Wood's the reason we lost the game. That that was like,
Speaker 1: it's because it's defense, the lineups that he is or
Speaker 1: are the lineups and the times that he is in
Speaker 1: are pivotal moments when the MAVs fall apart. So that
Speaker 1: I started playing little unsolved mysteries. What's going on here
Speaker 1: deep dive style is what is happening? And I went
Speaker 1: down a rabbit hole. I ended up with four major
Speaker 1: questions that I think are in desperate need of answers. First,
Speaker 1: is there a secret society inside of Dallas? I'm dead
Speaker 1: serious run by Jason Kidd? Is there a cupball? Shall
Speaker 1: I say a cup ball ran by Jason Kidd that
Speaker 1: is secretly black balling Christian Wood because I cannot figure out,
Speaker 1: for the life of me, why he's being treated this
Speaker 1: way in Dallas. A radio station just the other day
Speaker 1: after the Mavericks barely beat the Warriors, which is just
Speaker 1: a shame, like they should be smashing the Warriors right now,
Speaker 1: but it came down in the final second. So they
Speaker 1: asked him after that win, asked Nico Harrison, what is
Speaker 1: it gonna take, Niko for Christian Wood to start games
Speaker 1: and or close out games? His response was, you know,
Speaker 1: starting games doesn't really matter. Being started doesn't matter at all.
Speaker 1: It's really just all a matter of how many minutes
Speaker 1: you play. And then in terms of like closing out games,
Speaker 1: it all really just has to do with who's playing
Speaker 1: well that particular night. So maybe just Christian's not playing
Speaker 1: well that particular night and so he's not closing. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, is that not bullshit? Okay, all right, okay, Nico,
Speaker 1: to stay with you. Let's just bring Luke off the bench.
Speaker 1: How about that? What do you think about that? If
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, if it doesn't matter how many times
Speaker 1: people are starting, or let's just bring Luke off the bench,
Speaker 1: will give him thirty five minutes. And I started thinking
Speaker 1: about this about a month ago when my Twitter timeline
Speaker 1: had a sort of chatter about this cabal, a shadowy
Speaker 1: organization led by Jason Kidd that has decided to deep
Speaker 1: six christian Wood for what reason I don't know, but
Speaker 1: for an example, Jason Kidd decided to take a shot
Speaker 1: at christian Wood after blowing a sixteen point lead to
Speaker 1: the Thunder and he said that the only reason that
Speaker 1: they lost, only reason is that christian Wood couldn't play defense.
Speaker 1: Kid went out of his way to say, I left
Speaker 1: christian Wood in the game, and you see, see this
Speaker 1: is what happens when I leave him in the game.
Speaker 1: That's why he can't be in the game and pivot moments.
Speaker 1: He singled him out directly for the poor play that
Speaker 1: the team had when he was on the floor, and
Speaker 1: that's why he's on a milk carton. And there was
Speaker 1: another game earlier this year. I think I even talked
Speaker 1: about it. Christian Wood scored sixteen consecutive points to end
Speaker 1: the third quarter and to start the fourth quarter against
Speaker 1: the Suns, gets benched, never returns to the game in
Speaker 1: a game where the MAVs blew a twenty two point
Speaker 1: lead to the Suns and lost. I think that might
Speaker 1: have been Game one. He didn't play the final six
Speaker 1: minutes and the league was just evaporating, So it's not
Speaker 1: like he had Jason Kidds trust and then lost it.
Speaker 1: I think that was Game one of the NBA season.
Speaker 1: Things have started to get kind of weird a month
Speaker 1: ago and they haven't changed since. And then they asked
Speaker 1: in the postgame presser what it was like watching them
Speaker 1: piss away a lead from the bench, Christian Wood says this,
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be a part of this team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just a trust thing. I have to build trust
Speaker 1: with this team. I'm on a new team. Once I
Speaker 1: do that, I think will be good. I don't think
Speaker 1: they're gonna be good. I don't. And like, maybe Christian
Speaker 1: was not the best defender. That's true, he's not. He's
Speaker 1: had defensive liability reputation stuff for his entire career. But like,
Speaker 1: have you seen these guys that are supposed to be
Speaker 1: putting out buckets next to Luca? Have you seen them?
Speaker 1: Like Dwight Powell? Who, who, Who's gonna do that? Reggie
Speaker 1: buck who? This shit is weird? Is super weird, like dude,
Speaker 1: like that kind of weird. And basically what Jason Kidd
Speaker 1: has said out loud is like I don't trust Christian
Speaker 1: would enough on defense to close out games. I don't
Speaker 1: trust them enough to start games. And you know what,
Speaker 1: people on Twitter fans are getting tired of this shit.
Speaker 1: When the MAVs have Luca, Wood and Green on the floor,
Speaker 1: they have the best net rating in the NBA, Yes,
Speaker 1: with those playing together, and then ninety seven point six
Speaker 1: rating defensively with those three that is absurd. Let me
Speaker 1: get you the full stat terms of offense ratings and
Speaker 1: defense ratings. When they're three on the floor, they have
Speaker 1: a one hundred and twenty seven point one offensive rating
Speaker 1: when it's Luca christian Wood and Josh Green, ninety seven
Speaker 1: point six defensive rating, and a twenty nine point five
Speaker 1: net rating when they're on the floor. That is the
Speaker 1: best offensive and defensive and net rating with any of
Speaker 1: their seventy nine three man combos that have played twenty
Speaker 1: minutes or more. What is happening in Dallas? Insert those?
Speaker 1: What is happening in Dallas leads me into my second question,
Speaker 1: who's actually running this team? Who is running the MAVs?
Speaker 1: Is it Nico Harrison? Because if it's Nico Harrison and
Speaker 1: he's getting Kemba Walker, he can't be there like you're
Speaker 1: you should sell shoes, you know. And I don't think
Speaker 1: it's him anymore. I think it might be Mark Cuban.
Speaker 1: Last year, there was a bunch of think pieces that
Speaker 1: came out about the dumpster fire in Dallas. You had
Speaker 1: Donnie Nelson Junior getting fired, and then another analytics executive,
Speaker 1: heralbos Vulgaris, he got forced out they can and then
Speaker 1: Vulgaris compared the franchise's dysfunction to a high school drama.
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd's first year. As we know he likes water parks,
Speaker 1: so kind of like a water park or a roller coaster.
Speaker 1: A lot of dysfunction was buried because winning cures everything
Speaker 1: right and the MAVs get hot. But that was last year,
Speaker 1: and it's clear that maybe Nico doesn't have as much
Speaker 1: control over things as we thought. Right, things went well
Speaker 1: last year, and if Cuban still doesn't trust you and
Speaker 1: he's got his fingers in the pie, that's a problem.
Speaker 1: Cuban even admitted this, he said, I micro manage you
Speaker 1: until I trust you. I don't Mark Cuban micromanaging Dick
Speaker 1: not a thing. He's terrible if he's still calling the shots.
Speaker 1: How much power does Nico Harrison really have? How much
Speaker 1: agency over the roster does Jason Kidd even have? He
Speaker 1: clearly has power over who plays and who doesn't put.
Speaker 1: Does he have say over personnel decisions? Is the reason
Speaker 1: that he's blackballing Christian would because he never really wanted
Speaker 1: him there in the first place and got forced Christian
Speaker 1: Wood on him. Third question, probably the thing that most
Speaker 1: people refuse to talk about the most. This roster is dogshit.
Speaker 1: They are horrible. This is a horrible roster, barring a trade.
Speaker 1: I don't think it just gets better. It is basically
Speaker 1: Luca and a bunch of role players. That's what they
Speaker 1: said last year, but they had Jalen Brunson. Jalen Brunson
Speaker 1: can put up thirty any single night. He's putting up
Speaker 1: thirty for the Knicks. They if you didn't think Luca
Speaker 1: had helped last year with Jalen Brunson, what do you
Speaker 1: think he has now? There is no second option. I'm sorry, Spencer,
Speaker 1: You're You're not that. You're not Jalen Brunson. You're a
Speaker 1: guy that can give you thirty on one night and
Speaker 1: then like two for the next four games combined, and
Speaker 1: then like you sit out with a sword thumb for
Speaker 1: the next six games. Like that's you. You are unreliable
Speaker 1: as a scoring option that this team misses Brunson. But
Speaker 1: even Brunson liked the tweet, stating how important he was
Speaker 1: as a second option last year in Dallas, where they
Speaker 1: were like, oh yeah, remember when you guys said Jalen
Speaker 1: Brunson that Luke didn't have any help and just showed
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson's stats. Yeah, Jalen Brunson balling now and Jalen
Speaker 1: Brunson liked that tweet. Yeah. I mean, remember Nico and
Speaker 1: Cuban thought that Campazzo was a reliable replacement to Jalen Brunson,
Speaker 1: and then when that didn't work, and immediately he never
Speaker 1: got any playing time. I think he'd played like four
Speaker 1: minutes a game, like, so that was never gonna be
Speaker 1: a thing. Now he's got Kemba Walker. Do we actually
Speaker 1: think Kemba Walker is gonna get any minutes? If you
Speaker 1: don't like Christian Wood's defense, let me introduce you to
Speaker 1: Kemba Walker, the Washed Kemba Walker. It's it's just bad.
Speaker 1: It's just bad. The team is currently twenty ninth in
Speaker 1: assist per game, twenty one point two per game, and
Speaker 1: assist percentage. They are a terrible three point shooting team.
Speaker 1: They rank nineteenth in the league shooting thirty four point
Speaker 1: four percent. Luke is a part of that too, by
Speaker 1: the way, He's only shooting thirty one percent from three
Speaker 1: right now. Combine with the fact that they don't shoot
Speaker 1: free throws well. Also, Luca is a big part of
Speaker 1: that as well, twenty sixth in the league shooting seventy
Speaker 1: two point seven percent. Like, this team can't buy a
Speaker 1: fucking bucket none. They need somebody to help them. I
Speaker 1: don't know, make a good decision. Shoot, find someone who's open.
Speaker 1: We talked about Christian Wood, but when you break down
Speaker 1: how their center play has been without Christian Wood, JaVale
Speaker 1: McGee started the first couple of weeks of the season.
Speaker 1: He was so bad. In fifty one minutes he played
Speaker 1: with Luca, he was allowing fifty points in the paint
Speaker 1: per thirty six. That was the worst in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Then he gets bench for Dwight Powell, who started for
Speaker 1: center at center ever since. The maps are five and eight.
Speaker 1: When Powell starts, he's averaging five and three in seventeen minutes.
Speaker 1: He's probably one of the worst starting players in the
Speaker 1: NBA right now. No shaded DWIGHTE. Powell. Nice guy, he's
Speaker 1: a glue guy. He's a hustler, great locker room person.
Speaker 1: But like in an eight game stretch where the MAVs
Speaker 1: went three and five, he was a net negative twelve
Speaker 1: Christian Wood plus twelve. This is so bad. This roster stinks.
Speaker 1: McGee and Powell have been terrible. This team is thirtieth
Speaker 1: right now in rebounds per game with thirty eight Milwaukee
Speaker 1: is number one with forty nine per game. They're also
Speaker 1: twenty ninth in blocks, meaning they have no rim protection
Speaker 1: the center, center and point guard. I don't know, that's
Speaker 1: pretty important to have, right, Like, I don't know, just
Speaker 1: maybe that's just me. Their only consistent play out of
Speaker 1: the position has been from christian Wood. He doesn't even
Speaker 1: play more than twenty five minutes a game. Keep in mind,
Speaker 1: Dallas is plus eight point seven points per one hundred
Speaker 1: possession when Luca plays with christian Wood and negative point
Speaker 1: two when Luca plays without christian Wood. Are these stats
Speaker 1: available to Jason Kidd? Like? Does he know these things?
Speaker 1: Is it just me that I just only get access
Speaker 1: to this? Someone tell him The MAVs, like I said,
Speaker 1: with Luca, christian Wood and Josh Green have the highest
Speaker 1: net rating of all their three man combos. The secret
Speaker 1: cabal is real, folks. But you have a roster full
Speaker 1: of role players in glue guys. Let's talk about him,
Speaker 1: JaVale McGee, Tim Hardaway, Reggie Bullock, Pazzo at one point,
Speaker 1: Maxi Kleaba, Davis Berton's Frank Nilikina, Like some of these
Speaker 1: guys wouldn't even sniff a roster on good teams, Like
Speaker 1: do you think Maxi Klaba is getting time for anyone?
Speaker 1: He's a good player, he has some good moments. He'd
Speaker 1: probably probably play on the Lakers. All good role players,
Speaker 1: all good guys, all very limited, like a lot of
Speaker 1: spot up shooting. No one can put put the ball
Speaker 1: on the ground at all. This is probably the least
Speaker 1: talented roster of any potential playoff team in the NBA. Like,
Speaker 1: where is that secondary score when Lucas having an off night?
Speaker 1: Where is the big man like Draymond Green who can
Speaker 1: read and react, making the right play, forcing defenders into
Speaker 1: making a decision so that they can drive and kick.
Speaker 1: They do not exist. They do not exist when you
Speaker 1: have Luca and glue guys loss that is horrible. He
Speaker 1: could put up fifty every night, it wouldn't even matter.
Speaker 1: Fourth and finally, pretty much the final point that I
Speaker 1: will make is that this team obviously can't survive with
Speaker 1: just Luca. Luca has one of the highest usage rates
Speaker 1: in the NBA, because you could use His rate is
Speaker 1: thirty seven point nine, which is in the ninety nine percentile,
Speaker 1: playing like the most amount of minutes of anyone in
Speaker 1: the NBA. Right now we're talking about like Steve Nash
Speaker 1: running KD into the ground type of minutes. He's playing
Speaker 1: more than thirty eight minutes per game, Like I said,
Speaker 1: leads the NBA. Not a recipe for success with the
Speaker 1: guy who's like kind of always been out of shape,
Speaker 1: kind of always had some soft tissue, is injury issues? Right?
Speaker 1: Has hurt his ankle, didn't even play the first two
Speaker 1: games of the playoffs. Like, what is you can't do this?
Speaker 1: This is not do you feel what I'm feeling here?
Speaker 1: This is something is wrong. You guys are failing, Luca,
Speaker 1: How is this happening? You can't have this kind of imbalance,
Speaker 1: putting this much pressure on one guy's shoulders and expect
Speaker 1: this team to win games and expect him to stay
Speaker 1: healthy if you even get into the playoffs. All of
Speaker 1: these questions and no answers. Honestly, I don't know him.
Speaker 1: I don't know him, and you know who won't give
Speaker 1: me him? Nico Harrison. He did a fifteen minute interview.
Speaker 1: They were asked real questions. He's asked them, Hey, what's
Speaker 1: gonna take for a Christian Wood to start? What's gonna
Speaker 1: take for Christian Wood to close? Hey? Do you think
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd's playing mind games, and like, he didn't say
Speaker 1: a damn thing in that fifteen minutes. The only thing
Speaker 1: I got from him is, yeah, shit got fixed last year,
Speaker 1: so I'm excited that it's gonna get fixed this year.
Speaker 1: What that was his greatest piece of excitement of this year?
Speaker 1: They asked him, what are you most excited about about
Speaker 1: this team? And he said, well, we were in this
Speaker 1: exact same spot last year ten and nine and we
Speaker 1: turned it around, So I'm excited that we're going to
Speaker 1: turn it around this year. You're the thing you're most
Speaker 1: excited about hasn't even happened yet. We don't even know
Speaker 1: if it will happen. If you're not even talking about
Speaker 1: Luca putting up a triple double, that's not what you're
Speaker 1: excited about. This is coming from a guy who signed
Speaker 1: Kemba Walker. You don't have any slack left in your rope.
Speaker 1: We need accountability. Forgive me if I'm skeptical of a
Speaker 1: guy who thought Composo was the answer, who said he
Speaker 1: was happy with the roster when he got rid of
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson and brought in No One, bringing in Composo
Speaker 1: and Kemba to replace Jalen Brunson is like replacing like
Speaker 1: a dope ass Triumph motorcycle with a limescooter you found
Speaker 1: on the side of a fucking sidewalk and you don't
Speaker 1: even know if it's got a battery in it or
Speaker 1: if it's just been left there. And then when that
Speaker 1: didn't work, you just went and got like an e
Speaker 1: bike that you can rent per minute. Like Kemba's the
Speaker 1: kind of thing you rent per minute because you don't
Speaker 1: know how long it's gonna really give you. Nico's interview
Speaker 1: generated the following nuggets. I'm really excited. We didn't start
Speaker 1: well out. We didn't start out well last year either,
Speaker 1: and we found a way to turn things around. I'm
Speaker 1: still waiting for Javail to be Javail. I'm excited. I
Speaker 1: didn't think Wood would be as much of a scorer
Speaker 1: as he is. When he was asked, are you aware
Speaker 1: of the frustration from fans about where Christian Wood is
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, His response, who ends
Speaker 1: the game is just who's playing best? When asked, why
Speaker 1: isn't Christian Wood starting games? Doesn't matter who starts games?
Speaker 1: And on Kemba, Kema can make shots at a high level.
Speaker 1: That's the reason we're bringing him in. Composo is great,
Speaker 1: but he is not the shot maker that Kemba is.
Speaker 1: This is a bad interview. As for the MAVs, can
Speaker 1: this roster be fixed? I don't know, five hundred basketball
Speaker 1: if that happens, Will Jason Kidd be fired? Is he
Speaker 1: on a short leash? Is Mark Cuban already feeling the
Speaker 1: same things we're feeling? Will Cuban ever trust anyone to
Speaker 1: run this organization? Who's next on the Secret Cabal's list
Speaker 1: of players blackballed from Jason Kidd's list? So many questions,
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, Mavericks fans, I don't think you're gonna
Speaker 1: get any solutions anytime soon.
