Speaker 1: Hee hot, bitch, it's time for Donkey of the Day.
Speaker 2: I'm a big boy. I could take it if he
Speaker 2: feel I deserve it. Ain't no big deal.
Speaker 1: I know Charlottegeae God gonna have funny say out of
Speaker 1: his mouth.
Speaker 2: He's gotta say something you may not agree with. It
Speaker 2: doesn't mean I mean who's.
Speaker 1: Getting that dunk that donkey that don't don't don't dun't dunk.
Speaker 2: Donkey other day right here to the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Bitch, you can call me the donkey of the day,
Speaker 1: but like I mean, no harm.
Speaker 3: Yes, Donkey of the day from Monday, February third, Go
Speaker 3: to Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison. If you haven't heard,
Speaker 3: the Dallas Mavericks traded Luca don Chicks. How you pronounce
Speaker 3: his name dunks don chick Luca? Okay, Luca is twenty
Speaker 3: five years old.
Speaker 2: He was Rookie of the Year. He's been to the
Speaker 2: All Star Game five times.
Speaker 3: He led the league in scoring last year, averaging over
Speaker 3: thirty three game, and he took the Map to the
Speaker 3: NBA Finals last year. He's a franchise player, okay, the
Speaker 3: type of player you build around.
Speaker 2: But Nico Harrison doesn't seem to think so.
Speaker 3: So Luca was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, I mean,
Speaker 3: to the to the Los Angeles Lakers by Anthony Davis,
Speaker 3: who's no sloucher his damn self.
Speaker 2: Okay, he's got a care rare average of twenty.
Speaker 3: Four to ten, nine time All Star, four time All
Speaker 3: NBA First Team, two time All NBA Defensive Team, but
Speaker 3: he gets hurts a lot one years old. Okay, Look,
Speaker 3: I could be totally premature with this, he haw because
Speaker 3: I believe Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irvin are gonna be
Speaker 3: great in Dallas. But some things make sense and some
Speaker 3: things don't make sense to me, and Luca being traded
Speaker 3: from Dallas to the Lakers doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2: Let's go to ESPN News for the report. Police.
Speaker 4: This is maybe the most stunning trade, definitely that I've
Speaker 4: been a part of in recent NBA history, as far
Speaker 4: as it was never clearly out there, and I'm told Luka, Doncic,
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis, Lebron James, the players, coaches, a lot of
Speaker 4: people on both sides with the Mavericks and Lakers had
Speaker 4: no idea. I can assuredly tell you it's a fact,
Speaker 4: Lebron James had no idea this was coming. Anthony Davis
Speaker 4: had no idea this was coming until Luka Doncic is
Speaker 4: still stunned about this trade. But when you look at
Speaker 4: the totality of what just occurred, Luka Doncic is a
Speaker 4: twenty five year old, Like you said, Megastar, you know
Speaker 4: Perennial All NBA player, He's someone that you think of
Speaker 4: as untouchable as a guy that's never gonna be traded.
Speaker 4: I'm told that the Mavericks actually approached the Lakers and
Speaker 4: offered Luka Dancic a few days ago in a trade
Speaker 4: very recently. The Mavericks went out, they knew exactly who
Speaker 4: they wanted. They wanted Anthony Davis. That's the player that
Speaker 4: if they were ever gonna trade Luka Doncic, if this
Speaker 4: was even a thought that was gonna cross their mind.
Speaker 3: It was four a d Just when I thought no
Speaker 3: sports organization in Dallas could make worse decisions than my cowboys.
Speaker 2: Here come the maths. Okay, Now, Dallas must know something
Speaker 2: about Luca that we don't.
Speaker 3: Reports are that Luca's weight went up to two hundred
Speaker 3: and seventy pounds, So you mean to tell me that
Speaker 3: Luca got traded because he gained too much weight.
Speaker 2: But Zion Van Dross is still a Pelican now, I
Speaker 2: got nothing love, I got nothing but love for nine Williamson.
Speaker 3: Okay, South Carolina all day, but nobody's weight has fluctuated
Speaker 3: more since the Architect, never too much. So you're not
Speaker 3: gonna make me believe that Luca got traded because of
Speaker 3: his weight. When a generational player like Luca gains weight,
Speaker 3: you don't trade him. You get him a trainer and
Speaker 3: a nutrition.
Speaker 2: Is simple. How do you go from thirty three.
Speaker 3: A game and an NBA Finals appearance last year to
Speaker 3: twenty eight to eight and seven this year? So all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, your team saying they don't want you
Speaker 3: because you're fat. In fact, Migo Harrison said the reason
Speaker 3: they made the trader was because they want to win
Speaker 3: now and weren't thinking about ten years from now.
Speaker 5: Listen, I think the long term is the time frame.
Speaker 5: I think he fits our time frame. If you pair
Speaker 5: him with Kyrie and the rest of the guys, he
Speaker 5: fits right along with our time frame to win now
Speaker 5: and win.
Speaker 2: In the future.
Speaker 5: And the future to me is three four years from now.
Speaker 5: In the future ten years from now.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't think they probably buried me in Jay Budden
Speaker 5: or we bear ourselves.
Speaker 3: Yeh, think you might have buried yourself, Nicole. He went
Speaker 3: to the NBA Finals last year. Okay, he's twenty five.
Speaker 3: Give him and Kyrie some time to cooks around him
Speaker 3: with more talent. Okay, how is the GM Are you
Speaker 3: not thinking ten years down the road? This guy Luca
Speaker 3: is going to be a superstar for a long long time.
Speaker 3: Unless you know something we don't. Okay, Nico said the
Speaker 3: contract was affected too. Let's listen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it wasn't really like a point. I
Speaker 5: think it was how do we make our team better?
Speaker 5: You know, there's some unique things about his contract that
Speaker 5: we had to pay attention to. You know, there's there's
Speaker 5: other teams that were loading up.
Speaker 2: You know that he was going to have.
Speaker 5: He was gonna be able to decide to make his
Speaker 5: own decision at some point of whether he wants to
Speaker 5: be here or not, whether we want a super maxim
Speaker 5: or not, or whether he wants to opt out. So
Speaker 5: I think we had to take all that into consideration
Speaker 5: and feel like we got out in front of what
Speaker 5: could have been in tumultuous summer.
Speaker 3: So you're telling me, Djoki, you not going to get
Speaker 3: a super Max when it's his time. Jason Tatum signed
Speaker 3: a Supermax. Okay, you surround Luca with the right talent
Speaker 3: so he doesn't want to leave. I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: I think that this board to this story. Okay, who's
Speaker 3: lady in the Mavericks organization? Did Luca knock off? All right?
Speaker 3: Did you find out he's a serial killer in the Slovenia?
Speaker 3: All right, somebody tell me something that makes sense, because
Speaker 3: I refuse to believe basketball gods loved the Lakers this much.
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe they do.
Speaker 3: I've been alive along a long time, long enough to
Speaker 3: see the Lakers do this quite a few times. From
Speaker 3: Kareem abdu Jabari Shaquille O'Neil to Paul Gasol, the Lebron James,
Speaker 3: the trades that have been vetoed like Chris Paul, they
Speaker 3: always tend to get one that makes you scratch your head,
Speaker 3: like how they pull that off? And really, I would
Speaker 3: like to know how did they pull that off? Okay, Nico,
Speaker 3: you got a piece like Luca and you didn't even
Speaker 3: think the shop it.
Speaker 2: You want us to buy that you are.
Speaker 3: Thinking about winning a championship in the next three to
Speaker 3: four years, but you didn't even put Luca on the
Speaker 3: open market to see what other deals were available.
Speaker 2: I'm sure that there was better deals out there. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 3: If this don't work, Donald Trump is gonna use you, Nico,
Speaker 3: as an example as to why DEI is ruining corporate America.
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like this.
Speaker 3: And now, because Luca has been traded, he is ineligible
Speaker 3: for the three hundred and forty five million dollars super
Speaker 3: Max contract that he was sure to sign. By the way,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's fair because it's not performance based.
Speaker 3: Can earn that money because of what he does on
Speaker 3: the basketball court. He shouldn't have to leave hundreds of
Speaker 3: millions of dollars on the table because executives made what
Speaker 3: I believe to be a poor decision. But I only
Speaker 3: feel as poor because I don't have all the information.
Speaker 3: If it is because of his weight, then Luca needs
Speaker 3: to sue for weight discrimination.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: If Big Dank can sue Lyft, then Big Dunk should
Speaker 3: be able to sue the Masks.
Speaker 2: That's all I got. Please give General Manager Nico Harrison
Speaker 2: the biggest. He all, I'm playing with Big Danky. What
Speaker 2: you mean, that's for real? If Big Dan can sue
Speaker 2: Lift for weight discrimination, how come Big Dunk can't sue
Speaker 2: the mass.
Speaker 1: Gotta be more to that state knocks.
Speaker 2: Off somebody, girl or something in the organization.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 6: Oh, he was acting frustrated like he didn't want to resign,
Speaker 6: so they figured they trade him before.
Speaker 2: He just opt out.
Speaker 1: It gotta be more to that situation a year from now,
Speaker 1: right next year, I thought.
Speaker 2: Right, gotta be more to that. Get rid of no
Speaker 2: Luca Dauntas like that.
Speaker 1: And people always ask about the no trade clause.
Speaker 6: I think there's only ten NBA players with a no
Speaker 6: trade clause ever in their contract. Uh, and just the number.
Speaker 6: It was, David Robinson, John Stocked and Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan,
Speaker 6: Kevin Garnett, Dirk Dwayne Wade, Lebron Carmelo and.
Speaker 3: Bradley and Kevin still ended up getting traded. Who Kevin
Speaker 3: got traded a few times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had to approve it. You get traded,
Speaker 1: but you just got approve that.
Speaker 3: I just refuse to believe that they got rid of
Speaker 3: Luca because he's like chocolate cupkicks and mill cream pots.
Speaker 2: I just don't. I don't believe that. So you can
Speaker 2: do that, you're gonna like you can go against them
Speaker 2: if they tried.
Speaker 6: Because you could sign a new trade clause where you
Speaker 6: won't get traded unless you have to approve the trade.
Speaker 2: So if you don't, you gotta leave. But they don't
Speaker 2: get that.
Speaker 1: Too too many plays, okay, wow, So it's just like
Speaker 1: sleeve like.
Speaker 2: You want to you take this nigga.
Speaker 6: The fact that they come together and pick their own
Speaker 6: teams and people like, well it's not fair.
Speaker 1: Well, the coaches and management con trade him at any
Speaker 1: any given point and they had to GotY.
Speaker 3: And the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars he's
Speaker 3: gonna lose now because it's ineligible for the Supermaxicans he
Speaker 3: got traded as if it's his faulty, his tub.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Well, thank you for that. Donkey Today.
