- 1:36Speaker 1: Buying show be in our lead this hour. You know
- 1:43Speaker 1: where our lead's from. Yeah, that's where everyone's talking about
- 1:45Speaker 1: this here pro bouncy Ball. It's pretty funny because all
- 1:49Speaker 1: the media elites, the sports media elites, are in New
- 1:51Speaker 1: Orleans for the Super Bowl, and nobody gives a rats
- 1:54Speaker 1: ass about that game. Right now. It's all about these
- 1:56Speaker 1: NBA trades and what a week in It was a
- 1:59Speaker 1: hun dinger, a hum dinger of a weekend, a door buster,
- 2:08Speaker 1: door buster type trade. In fact, a couple of big trades,
- 2:11Speaker 1: but the biggest. We're gonna start play the hits. Play
- 2:13Speaker 1: the hits, mom, man, We'll play the hits. And uh,
- 2:16Speaker 1: if you didn't hear about it, I don't know how
- 2:17Speaker 1: you could have missed it. If you're a sports fan,
- 2:20Speaker 1: you're listening to a sports talk radio show at an
- 2:22Speaker 1: ungodly hour, I would think you've paid attention, but maybe not.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Luka Doncik is gone, traded, excommunicated from Dallas, bye bye,
- 2:33Speaker 1: as he was traded to the Lakers. The historians get
- 2:38Speaker 1: Luka Doncik part of a three team deal between Dallas,
- 2:43Speaker 1: LA and Utah Anthony Davis the big name going back
- 2:48Speaker 1: to the Mavericks, there's some spare parts in spam to
- 2:51Speaker 1: make the numbers work that change teams. The Jazz, they're
- 2:56Speaker 1: just there to help trades go through, to facilitate trades.
- 2:59Speaker 1: They take on draft picks and things like that, and
- 3:03Speaker 1: they help the money situation work out. The Jazz are
- 3:06Speaker 1: just a filler team at this point, not trying to win,
- 3:09Speaker 1: just trying to help the rest of the league out.
- 3:11Speaker 1: That's their role. So let us discuss the question, how
- 3:14Speaker 1: do you grade the mega mega mega mega mega trade.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Luca goes from the MAVs to the Lakers. For Anthony Davis,
- 3:23Speaker 1: those are the headliners. We focus on the headliners. So
- 3:27Speaker 1: I've got Puddy, Sandra Bullock, and Return of the Jedi,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
- 3:39Speaker 1: we will follow our nose. Is wherever our nose takes us.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And I got a big schnaz, I got a really
- 3:45Speaker 1: large nas so I will just go wherever the nose
- 3:47Speaker 1: takes us. So my first thought on this is when
- 3:51Speaker 1: you're when you're grading, it's from the Mallord report card
- 3:53Speaker 1: when it comes to grading trades, and we are the
- 3:57Speaker 1: industry leader in great transactions. Absolutely, nobody is more trusted,
- 4:03Speaker 1: nobody in overnight delivery of a report card on transactions
- 4:12Speaker 1: on this show in the middle of the night on Fox.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Nobody has this kind of information. So on the Malor
- 4:19Speaker 1: report Card, the Malor report Card on the big trade
- 4:23Speaker 1: over the weekend, Dallas and La the Lakers reluctantly, I
- 4:28Speaker 1: will give them a B minus on the trade. I
- 4:31Speaker 1: will give them a B minus. The Mavericks get an F,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and then I don't know that I can go low?
- 4:37Speaker 1: Is there anything lower than an F? I would like
- 4:40Speaker 1: to go lower than F? Is there anything beyond F?
- 4:43Speaker 1: Can I go beyond F? Anyway? LA also picked up
- 4:48Speaker 1: a couple of roster span players in the trade, Maxi Kleibah,
- 4:54Speaker 1: who hit a game winning shot against them a while back,
- 4:58Speaker 1: and Mark he much traveled Mark Keith Morris. He also
- 5:03Speaker 1: goes to the Lakers. It is a foo bar situation.
- 5:07Speaker 1: It is I'm a chumping to still process the transaction.
- 5:12Speaker 1: The math ain't mathing on this one on many many levels,
- 5:17Speaker 1: many many many levels. They're Lakers were just handed on
- 5:22Speaker 1: a silver platter a Luka Doncik and they didn't have
- 5:27Speaker 1: to bid against anyone. Why why would you do that.
- 5:34Speaker 1: That's malfeasance, that's bad management, that's incompetence, that's wrong on
- 5:39Speaker 1: many levels. Why would you do that? Wouldn't you fire
- 5:43Speaker 1: the general manager if you owned the team and that
- 5:46Speaker 1: is how they did business. I think you would. But
- 5:49Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we're gonna call one team and we'll
- 5:54Speaker 1: just give you the buy now price and that's it
- 5:56Speaker 1: and you don't have to bid and just submit an offer.
- 6:00Speaker 1: We'll make it happen. Yeah. Now, back when the NBA
- 6:03Speaker 1: actually had leadership, you know, guys with hair on their
- 6:06Speaker 1: chest and balls and things like that. David Stern would
- 6:09Speaker 1: have vetoed this trade. He vetoed the Chris Paul trade, right,
- 6:12Speaker 1: he would have vetoed this trade. Also said, well, that's
- 6:15Speaker 1: not we're not going to do that. But it's playing
- 6:18Speaker 1: with putty. The whole thing's playing with putty, putty explosives.
- 6:23Speaker 1: We're talking ballistics here is what we're talking about, plastic explosives. Now, Luca,
- 6:27Speaker 1: he turns twenty six later this month, Happy birthday. There's
- 6:31Speaker 1: some great cake, great bakeries in Los Angeles. You love
- 6:34Speaker 1: the bakries in LA. And he was traded for a
- 6:37Speaker 1: player who is near the end of his athletic prime,
- 6:43Speaker 1: who has the superpower of missing games. His nickname is
- 6:48Speaker 1: street Clothes Anthony Davis, that's his nickname. He is more
- 6:52Speaker 1: known for not showing up the work than showing up
- 6:56Speaker 1: the work. And that's who the Dallas Mavericks had to
- 6:58Speaker 1: get their hands on. Why I don't get it, Davis
- 7:04Speaker 1: turns thirty two in the month of March. Now, these
- 7:06Speaker 1: aren't your daddy's Mavericks. That is fair to say. Anybody
- 7:09Speaker 1: it still thinks. And not everyone heard the news, but
- 7:12Speaker 1: Mark Cuban, who was a fanboy. I mean getting the
- 7:16Speaker 1: Mark Cuban's got a lot of issues there. But Cuban's
- 7:18Speaker 1: a fanboy, and he owned the Mavericks for a long
- 7:21Speaker 1: time and he sold out. Everyone's got their price, and
- 7:23Speaker 1: Magic Christian, Everyone's got their price. Mark Cuban sold out
- 7:27Speaker 1: for three point five billion dollars. And that's the cost
- 7:31Speaker 1: for Mark Cuban to allow this to happen. If Mark
- 7:34Speaker 1: Cuban still owned the Dallas Mavericks controlling interest of the Mavericks,
- 7:39Speaker 1: he would not have done this. This was not a possibility,
- 7:43Speaker 1: it was it. But that's not the case here and Cuban,
- 7:48Speaker 1: even if he felt he had to trade Luca for
- 7:51Speaker 1: whatever reason, would have rather sent him to an expansion
- 7:55Speaker 1: franchise in Papa New Guinea than send him to the
- 8:01Speaker 1: There's no way that would have happened. And of course
- 8:03Speaker 1: there's a lot of dumb people that don't know that
- 8:05Speaker 1: Mark Cuban sold out. He's a sellout. He sold the team.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Good for him three point five billion, and he's just
- 8:11Speaker 1: kind of there as a like a make a wish thing.
- 8:13Speaker 1: When he travels with the Mavericks and all that, it's like, hey, wee,
- 8:17Speaker 1: I don't really own the team. I don't control anything,
- 8:19Speaker 1: but I get to sit by the bench and the
- 8:21Speaker 1: players like me and all that. Yeah. Wow, so new regime,
- 8:27Speaker 1: new blood, and you get what you get. You get
- 8:29Speaker 1: what you get now, Page two. What makes the Lukka
- 8:34Speaker 1: the Luca trade so unique? What makes it so unique? Well,
- 8:39Speaker 1: this is like Sandra Bullock's Academy Award winning performance in
- 8:44Speaker 1: the old movie The blind Side. The blind Side. Listen,
- 8:50Speaker 1: if someone had called up this talk show and said, hey, Ben,
- 8:54Speaker 1: I'd like to make a trade. How about the Mavericks
- 8:57Speaker 1: s and Luka Doncik to the Lakers for Anthony Davis
- 9:02Speaker 1: in some spare parts, some pocket length to be named later.
- 9:07Speaker 1: We would have said something along the lines of, well,
- 9:10Speaker 1: what bath salts are you sniffing right now, sir, and
- 9:13Speaker 1: please go to the mini bar, and we would have
- 9:16Speaker 1: hung up on them. That's what we would have done.
- 9:19Speaker 1: A video game would have rejected that trade, would have said, no,
- 9:22Speaker 1: that's not a proper trade. No, no way. A twenty
- 9:25Speaker 1: twenty nine first round pick. That's all you're getting in
- 9:27Speaker 1: terms of future draft picks and scratcher tickets. One scratcher
- 9:31Speaker 1: ticket in twenty twenty nine. That's it. But here we are. Here,
- 9:36Speaker 1: we are the unthinkable, the unimaginable. It's the first time
- 9:41Speaker 1: in NBA history that two raining all NBA players have
- 9:46Speaker 1: been traded for each other at mid season, as the
- 9:50Speaker 1: trade deadline's not until later this week, but the trades,
- 9:53Speaker 1: the big ones have already happened at this point in
- 9:56Speaker 1: the modern era. This is the craziest trade, the Luca
- 9:59Speaker 1: trade of them all, and the thing that stands out
- 10:02Speaker 1: though in the world we're living in right now, twenty
- 10:06Speaker 1: four to seven round the clock and the business of basketball,
- 10:11Speaker 1: the currency of basketball. I've had this conversation with many
- 10:14Speaker 1: people over the years who are in this world and
- 10:18Speaker 1: the rumor and I ran a gossip site for years
- 10:21Speaker 1: before I was working here at the same time. But
- 10:24Speaker 1: I ran a rumor site for many many years. And
- 10:28Speaker 1: the rumor is more important than the reality. Like the
- 10:31Speaker 1: rumor gets people talk. And what happened with this particular
- 10:37Speaker 1: trade here, you know, it's it's stunning because there was
- 10:43Speaker 1: not even a peep, right, loose lips in the NBA
- 10:48Speaker 1: are commonplace. Happens all the time. They work clandestine is
- 10:54Speaker 1: how they worked this time is how they work. Cloak
- 10:57Speaker 1: and dagger. Mission zero dark thirty, everyone say, moving under
- 11:01Speaker 1: the cover of darkness. And twas the night before the
- 11:07Speaker 1: trade deadline week was upon us went all through the house,
- 11:12Speaker 1: all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not
- 11:15Speaker 1: even a unibrow. And then the Lakers they played the
- 11:18Speaker 1: Knicks Midtown Manhattan on National TV. Huhum, and then call boom.
- 11:26Speaker 1: The volcano exploded. But there was no bubbling up of this.
- 11:31Speaker 1: There was no chatter that Dallas is unhappy with Luca,
- 11:34Speaker 1: They're going to trade him. This came out of relatively
- 11:39Speaker 1: thin air, so much so people were convinced that Shams
- 11:44Speaker 1: was hacked. This was not real. There was some funny
- 11:47Speaker 1: business going on all right.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Now.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Lastly, so how does this Luka don Chick transaction play
- 11:56Speaker 1: with the electorate in Dallas. Now we're on in Dallas.
- 11:58Speaker 1: You guys can answer if you want to call in
- 12:00Speaker 1: and give the pulse of the people. But from the outside,
- 12:04Speaker 1: the way I see it, the Dallas Mavericks are cooked.
- 12:08Speaker 1: They have violated the bubble of trust. And once you
- 12:12Speaker 1: violated the bubble of trust, there is no going back.
- 12:16Speaker 1: You have done the thing you can't do at the
- 12:19Speaker 1: time you can't do it. You have sold the church
- 12:23Speaker 1: of Maverick Basketball, and you have just traded the deacon.
- 12:27Speaker 1: You have said, get out of here. You're done. And
- 12:31Speaker 1: as we understand it, despite enjoying a hearty meal and
- 12:35Speaker 1: not really taking conditioning all that. Seriously, Luca was beloved
- 12:40Speaker 1: and he was their next Dirk. They were just in
- 12:43Speaker 1: the NBA finals against the Celtics last summer, and it's
- 12:49Speaker 1: it's wild that you would make this particular move at
- 12:52Speaker 1: this time. And the sales pitch. We've seen the sales pitch.
- 12:55Speaker 1: The sales pitch played out. It's simple. The Mavericks. They're claiming, hey,
- 12:59Speaker 1: We seven years with this guy, and we were waiting
- 13:02Speaker 1: for Luca, for the light bulb to go off, for
- 13:05Speaker 1: the epiphany to take place for Luca, and it never did.
- 13:09Speaker 1: And so what we got was a character from Return
- 13:13Speaker 1: of the Jedi. You might remember Job of the Hut.
- 13:16Speaker 1: That's what we got. The guys out of shape. He
- 13:18Speaker 1: can score, that's it. He's never taken him, you know,
- 13:21Speaker 1: his job seriously in terms of being in top physical condition. Now,
- 13:27Speaker 1: Luca has been out since Christmas. Here we are in
- 13:31Speaker 1: early February with a strained left cap and the word
- 13:35Speaker 1: the streets of the NBA saying that there are factions
- 13:38Speaker 1: in Dallas that are convinced the reason he hurt himself
- 13:41Speaker 1: is because he's a fat pig and that's why he
- 13:44Speaker 1: injured himself and has been out since since Christmas. That's
- 13:48Speaker 1: just poor conditioning and all that. But doesn't that seem
- 13:51Speaker 1: like a temporary problem more than a permanent problem. You know,
- 13:55Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's the Mavericks. They're planning all
- 14:00Speaker 1: these stories to justify the trays saying you like two
- 14:03Speaker 1: hundred sixty pounds and MAVs ownership didn't trust him. I've
- 14:08Speaker 1: heard that bouncing around the pinball machine of the hot
- 14:11Speaker 1: take here that there was other mitigating factors. They didn't
- 14:14Speaker 1: want to pay him the supermax contract, they didn't want
- 14:17Speaker 1: to invest that kind of money this summer. Give him
- 14:21Speaker 1: another contract and well at bare it's already backfired. Networks
- 14:27Speaker 1: aren't winning anything with Anthony Davis. You come on, Anthony
- 14:31Speaker 1: never won with the Lakers. They never won a championship,
- 14:33Speaker 1: not a real one, fake one. They never want a
- 14:35Speaker 1: real one with the Lakers. Not gonna win now with Kyrie,
- 14:39Speaker 1: they're both going to get hemorrhoids playing rock paper scissors
- 14:43Speaker 1: on the bench while the other players are out there
- 14:45Speaker 1: playing yikes. And as far as Luke, listen, if he
- 14:49Speaker 1: had problems with self discipline with the Dallas Mavericks, wait
- 14:53Speaker 1: till you get to the Lakers and to all those
- 14:55Speaker 1: Hollywood f's, kiss your ass and invite you to all
- 14:58Speaker 1: those parties with pile of drugs and amazing food. And
- 15:03Speaker 1: you're on the A list everywhere in La because you
- 15:06Speaker 1: wear the historian's uniform. That's what Luca has to look
- 15:09Speaker 1: forward to. So if you can't conjoy yourself in Dallas,
- 15:12Speaker 1: I know those famous people in Dallas, I know those
- 15:14Speaker 1: rich people in Dallas, but it's a different animal in
- 15:16Speaker 1: La and the good luck, good Luck, Luca, good Luck.

- 16:35Speaker 1: much more to discuss, pro bouncy ball and the trade
- 16:40Speaker 1: heard round the association. Big weekend story, big weekend story here,
- 16:46Speaker 1: and we've got you covered in depth team coverage, which
- 16:50Speaker 1: is really just me because I'm awake here. Everyone else
- 16:52Speaker 1: is partying in New Orleans, but we're here. Luca Luka
- 16:55Speaker 1: Doncik putting himself into the transfer portal. Well, he didn't
- 17:00Speaker 1: actually put himself, The Mavericks put him in the transfer
- 17:03Speaker 1: port a. Luca sent packing as the Mavericks said bye
- 17:07Speaker 1: bye and get out of here. You're no longer needed
- 17:11Speaker 1: to their franchise player, the player that got them to
- 17:14Speaker 1: the NBA Finals where they lost to Jason Tatum and
- 17:16Speaker 1: the Celtics in the summer of twenty twenty four. And
- 17:20Speaker 1: here we are in February of twenty twenty five, and
- 17:24Speaker 1: it's asta la vista of even that Jay to Luca,
- 17:28Speaker 1: he's gone mega mega Mega trate happened after the Knicks
- 17:33Speaker 1: Lakers game on Saturday. Now, the part of the story
- 17:37Speaker 1: that I want to focus in on right now with
- 17:39Speaker 1: you and have a little chat me and you okay,
- 17:42Speaker 1: involves Lebron James because Luca was put in the trade
- 17:47Speaker 1: machine on Saturday. And did you hear the Lebron part
- 17:51Speaker 1: of the story. Maybe not so. The reporting over the
- 17:56Speaker 1: weekend claims that Lebron James learned of this massive transaction
- 18:04Speaker 1: in our little sporting world. Lebron learned of this trade
- 18:09Speaker 1: following the win over the next when it broke on
- 18:13Speaker 1: social media and he was out to dinner with his
- 18:16Speaker 1: family in Manhattan and he found out about the trade.
- 18:20Speaker 1: That's the reporting. We're told that James was surprised by
- 18:23Speaker 1: the news. Here no idea that this trade was in
- 18:26Speaker 1: the works whatsoever. So this was seemingly reported with the
- 18:30Speaker 1: straight face. We don't really know why, but it apparently was.
- 18:34Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question the NBA media lap
- 18:38Speaker 1: dogs claiming that Lebron James had no no idea that
- 18:46Speaker 1: Luka Doncik would be traded to the Lakers and Anthony
- 18:49Speaker 1: Davis would go back the other direction to Texas, and
- 18:54Speaker 1: that he found out while he was having a nice meal.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Believe it or not, that's the question. So I've got Unicorn,
- 19:02Speaker 1: Big Poppy, and we buy Uglyhouses dot Com. We'll combine
- 19:07Speaker 1: all of those things together and we are going to
- 19:11Speaker 1: make the chicken Schwarma is what we're going to make.
- 19:14Speaker 1: We'll make the chicken shwarma. So number all right, so
- 19:24Speaker 1: you gotta look through the lens of this unfolding drama
- 19:29Speaker 1: that's still playing out here as we head into the
- 19:31Speaker 1: early hours on a Monday. But Lebron, the way I
- 19:35Speaker 1: look at this, Lebron already had his alibi all laid out.
- 19:39Speaker 1: The thing that Lebron worries about more than anything is optics.
- 19:42Speaker 1: It's like when he's talked about watching movies or reading
- 19:46Speaker 1: books and asked about it, he has no clue because
- 19:48Speaker 1: he doesn't actually watch those movies or read those books,
- 19:51Speaker 1: and it's awkward for him, but he wants the perception,
- 19:55Speaker 1: the optics of being that guy, right, the guy that
- 19:58Speaker 1: loves the Godfather movies and reads the Malcolm X book
- 20:02Speaker 1: and all that, even though he didn't really know much
- 20:04Speaker 1: about it because he's not actually doing those things. But
- 20:06Speaker 1: that's Lebron. That's what we know Lebron to be. It's
- 20:09Speaker 1: all about the appearance, which is perfect for la. That's
- 20:12Speaker 1: what Hollywood's all about, right, It's about the appearance, the
- 20:15Speaker 1: illusion that you know what you're doing. So the guy
- 20:19Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe here, in order for us to
- 20:21Speaker 1: believe that Lebron James had no clue about what happened here.
- 20:26Speaker 1: We're supposed to be the same player that bullied the
- 20:30Speaker 1: Lakers to draft his kid who can't play, Bronnie James,
- 20:33Speaker 1: and then make sure that Bronnie was on the roster
- 20:36Speaker 1: to play right away and a father son duet when
- 20:40Speaker 1: his kid sucks. That we're supposed to believe that's that
- 20:43Speaker 1: same player had nothing nothing to do with this, that
- 20:49Speaker 1: this is completely foreign to him and came out of nowhere,
- 20:54Speaker 1: mister GM by proxy, going back to his days in
- 20:58Speaker 1: Cleveland and couldn't do that in Miami, although he did
- 21:01Speaker 1: form the team with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh and
- 21:05Speaker 1: then was at Loggerheads with pat Riley and then went
- 21:08Speaker 1: back to Cleveland to run things and then went out
- 21:11Speaker 1: to LA But that same guy, lebron James, was out
- 21:15Speaker 1: eating linguinie and he was having an appetizer, maybe was
- 21:19Speaker 1: eating like one of those little piece of bread, and
- 21:22Speaker 1: then the trade happened. He had no idea. I just
- 21:24Speaker 1: eating linguini with a little piece of bread, maybe some
- 21:27Speaker 1: red wine in the trade. Hauten, What in the wall?
- 21:31Speaker 1: I mean, come on, if you believe this, I want
- 21:35Speaker 1: you to call me up because I have a pink
- 21:39Speaker 1: polka dotted unicorn. I would like to sell you It's
- 21:42Speaker 1: the most beautiful pink polka dotted unicorn you could possibly have,
- 21:46Speaker 1: and it's yours. I'll sell it to you for a
- 21:47Speaker 1: nominal fee. If you think Lebron had no knowledge of
- 21:51Speaker 1: the trade prior to the trade going down, I would
- 21:54Speaker 1: like to have you purchase this. I'll give you a
- 21:56Speaker 1: sweetheart deal. It's a pink polka dotted unicorn and it
- 22:00Speaker 1: can be yours and it's only going to cost you
- 22:02Speaker 1: about eighty thousand dollars. That's a deal. That's a deal.
- 22:05Speaker 1: You can have it right, tell me you're gullible without
- 22:08Speaker 1: telling me you're Google What was Lebron James role in
- 22:13Speaker 1: LA dealing? Anthony Davis Well, the way this works, and
- 22:20Speaker 1: I can't imagine it's much different here at that level
- 22:23Speaker 1: of player talking about Luka Dancik here and then Anthony
- 22:28Speaker 1: Davis Also, it's going to fundamentally change both the Lakers
- 22:31Speaker 1: and the Mavericks the direction. Some are convinced it's for
- 22:36Speaker 1: the better, some are convinced it's for the worst. But
- 22:40Speaker 1: in order for this to happen right, in order for
- 22:43Speaker 1: this to happen you need ownership the rubber stamp. But
- 22:48Speaker 1: also Lebron has to give his blessing. You know, I
- 22:51Speaker 1: want to upset Lebron James face to the NBA and
- 22:54Speaker 1: all that stuff. You do want to upset Lebron. And
- 22:58Speaker 1: as far as the reporting that he was just at
- 23:00Speaker 1: dinner and he had no idea, you know, it's against
- 23:02Speaker 1: the optic thing. Lebron has these NBA writers eating out
- 23:06Speaker 1: of the palm of his hand. He really does. Right,
- 23:09Speaker 1: It's like the the side of a mirror when you're
- 23:12Speaker 1: driving around, right, the objects in the mirror are closer
- 23:15Speaker 1: than they appear. Yikes, they're in the tank. They are
- 23:19Speaker 1: in the tank. Tank tank tank, and really just aggregating,
- 23:24Speaker 1: repackaging Lebron James content. At this point, Lebron's people send
- 23:29Speaker 1: a narrative over and then that's his version of the truth,
- 23:32Speaker 1: and they just repeat it and that's that all right now,
- 23:34Speaker 1: Pat Trewo, So, how does the dust settle with lukeca
- 23:40Speaker 1: who did touch down in a private plane? Because you know,
- 23:44Speaker 1: the one percenter is when you're a pro basketball player,
- 23:46Speaker 1: you travel in private planes. So Lucas in La now
- 23:51Speaker 1: explain how this all goes down? Now, the dust settles,
- 23:56Speaker 1: we'll look at the micro, not the macro in the
- 23:59Speaker 1: near Now. Luca's hurt right now, he's not playing. He's
- 24:02Speaker 1: supposed to come back. The Maverick said he was going
- 24:04Speaker 1: to come back before the All Star break. The All
- 24:06Speaker 1: Star breaks right around the corner here. It's in the
- 24:08Speaker 1: middle of February, and if you look at the calendar,
- 24:11Speaker 1: today's February third, so we're not that far away from this.
- 24:15Speaker 1: This is taking place. So it's not a one size
- 24:18Speaker 1: fit all situation. It's not. Now. This is the old
- 24:22Speaker 1: trope in basketball, which is true because it happens all
- 24:25Speaker 1: the time. There's only one basketball, there's only one ball,
- 24:30Speaker 1: and situations like this rarely work, rarely work because Luca,
- 24:36Speaker 1: while he is an absolute offensive dynamo and the beginning
- 24:40Speaker 1: of his career, there's no question he's one of the
- 24:44Speaker 1: top players this far into his career, he's historical. He's
- 24:49Speaker 1: a top five player offensively all time in NBA history. However,
- 24:55Speaker 1: you look at this, he's the big Poppy of the NBA.
- 25:00Speaker 1: He is a designated hitter like David Ortiz was to
- 25:03Speaker 1: the Red Sox in his heyday. He's all bat, no glove.
- 25:07Speaker 1: That's what he brings you and sounds like at this
- 25:11Speaker 1: point similar to Lebron James, a Doppo ganger, if you will,
- 25:16Speaker 1: of Lebron James and two ball dominant players that are
- 25:22Speaker 1: weak defenders. Essentially, the opposition against the Lakers will be
- 25:25Speaker 1: on the power play on offense, He'll be playing five
- 25:28Speaker 1: on three. Now, Lebron occasionally a couple times a game
- 25:32Speaker 1: will make a good defensive play, so he gets in
- 25:35Speaker 1: the highlights, but the rest of the time he's saving
- 25:37Speaker 1: his energy to work on the offensive side of the situation. Now,
- 25:43Speaker 1: the other part of this, the heel a monster in
- 25:46Speaker 1: the room, the Komodo dragon in the room, if you will,
- 25:49Speaker 1: is the poor work habits that Luca supposedly has. It's
- 25:54Speaker 1: been an open secret. Luca does not believe in things
- 25:57Speaker 1: like the gym. He does not believe in doing and
- 26:00Speaker 1: cardio and things like that. I believe the reporting that's
- 26:04Speaker 1: out there, and he's got bad work ethic. He's lazy.
- 26:09Speaker 1: He just has an I don't give an f He's
- 26:11Speaker 1: so talented he can get away with it right now.
- 26:13Speaker 1: And the argument is that it's not gonna work that
- 26:18Speaker 1: long term is he's been playing basketball since he was
- 26:22Speaker 1: a kid at a high level in Europe and it's
- 26:23Speaker 1: just not gonna that's what the Mavericks. If you believe
- 26:25Speaker 1: the Mavericks are not doing this intentionally just so they
- 26:27Speaker 1: can move the team to Vegas, and that this was
- 26:30Speaker 1: actually some kind of planned, out formulated effort to improve
- 26:35Speaker 1: the team, which I don't. But if you if you
- 26:37Speaker 1: believe that, if you're someone that wants to believe that,
- 26:39Speaker 1: that's fine. I don't agree with you. We can agree
- 26:42Speaker 1: to disagree. But if that's your mindset. If that's the
- 26:45Speaker 1: case here, and then like the MAVs are betting that
- 26:49Speaker 1: he will age like milk and we know that doesn't
- 26:53Speaker 1: go well. That just does not end up very well.
- 26:56Speaker 1: All right, now, final point, So, what was the oddest
- 27:00Speaker 1: part of this big trade between the Mavericks and the
- 27:04Speaker 1: Lakers that sends Luca to skid Row. That's who the
- 27:08Speaker 1: Lakers play right there on skid Row in La All
- 27:11Speaker 1: homeless people can sit right there the arena. Now, when
- 27:14Speaker 1: they built it, skid Row was not there, but the
- 27:17Speaker 1: good people of California have make sure skid Row moves
- 27:19Speaker 1: over to that area, so it's all there. So what
- 27:21Speaker 1: is the oddest part of the Luka Doncik trade, So
- 27:25Speaker 1: it would be the unorthodox tactics of the Mavericks. And
- 27:30Speaker 1: it's not even close right. Normally, a star player gets
- 27:33Speaker 1: put on the auctioning block. Now we saw de Aaron
- 27:36Speaker 1: Fox who was also traded. We'll get to that later.
- 27:39Speaker 1: It's on my big board, dearon Fox traded from Sacramento
- 27:42Speaker 1: to San Antonio. That had been talked about for about
- 27:45Speaker 1: two weeks. He's traded. That's how it goes. Jimmy Butler
- 27:49Speaker 1: has not been traded at this hour from Miami, but
- 27:52Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler's name has been floated out there. It's been
- 27:55Speaker 1: talked about on gas bag shows like this and blowhards
- 27:58Speaker 1: on TV. If talked to where Jimmy Butler's gonna end up.
- 28:02Speaker 1: And it's social media fodder for the bots on social media,
- 28:05Speaker 1: the fake accounts they get to talk about that go
- 28:07Speaker 1: back and forth, and so all of that, all of
- 28:11Speaker 1: that going on, and yet here you have none of
- 28:16Speaker 1: it in Dallas. If this is accurate and the matters
- 28:21Speaker 1: are all saying the same thing, it was early on
- 28:23Speaker 1: it was just reports and now it's like, this is
- 28:25Speaker 1: what we did, and maybe they're lying. I don't know.
- 28:29Speaker 1: It channeling Rod Serling from the Twilight Zone. Picture if
- 28:36Speaker 1: you will a world where you have a beach front
- 28:40Speaker 1: palazzo in Italy, a palatial home with millions of dollars,
- 28:46Speaker 1: and you decide not to list the home. You call
- 28:49Speaker 1: one person up and say, hey, would you like this home,
- 28:53Speaker 1: and just offer whatever you want. We'll take whatever you
- 28:56Speaker 1: send us. That's it. Here you go. It's like they
- 28:58Speaker 1: went to that we buy uglyhomes dot com or houses
- 29:02Speaker 1: or whatever dot com and they reached out to the
- 29:05Speaker 1: some company like that. There's a bunch of them out
- 29:07Speaker 1: there that just they'll take your home and maybe they
- 29:09Speaker 1: give you a good deal, maybe they don't. And that's
- 29:13Speaker 1: what they got. They just all right, that's it. You know.
- 29:15Speaker 1: It's like going on eBay and just paying the price
- 29:18Speaker 1: and there's no bidding. You're just like buying out price.
- 29:20Speaker 1: And that was it. The buying out price. You skip
- 29:22Speaker 1: the hassles of having to do the prep work for
- 29:25Speaker 1: the house, no showings. You took an all cash offer,
- 29:29Speaker 1: but it was really pennies on the dollar. And again,
- 29:33Speaker 1: if this is the way it went down and you
- 29:36Speaker 1: own the team, you would you would say, okay, we
- 29:40Speaker 1: are done. We're done with Nico Harrison. I'm firing him.
- 29:44Speaker 1: If I am someone that cares about the Dallas Mavericks,
- 29:47Speaker 1: and if I'm the owner, I fire Nico Harrison. But
- 29:50Speaker 1: they had the ownership had to sign off on this.
- 29:53Speaker 1: So now the other the other part of it. And
- 29:55Speaker 1: somebody text me over the weekend it said, well, there's
- 29:57Speaker 1: some scandal coming down with Luca and you don't know
- 30:00Speaker 1: about it yet, but they traded him and there's something's
- 30:03Speaker 1: going to come out about Luca in the coming days.
- 30:04Speaker 1: And what is that? You know, who knows? I wouldn't.
- 30:08Speaker 1: I wouldn't put past the world we live in today.
- 30:11Speaker 1: But at this point we don't know his scandal right
- 30:13Speaker 1: around the corner. So based on what we do know,
- 30:17Speaker 1: Dallas did not do their due diligence. The front office
- 30:20Speaker 1: of the Mavericks. They didn't even send a group text
- 30:23Speaker 1: to a bunch of gms. They just went and had
- 30:25Speaker 1: a cup of coffee. Nico Harrison and the Lakers executive,
- 30:31Speaker 1: well really the assistant GM Skinny Jeans under Lebron and
- 30:35Speaker 1: they took an all cash offer and that was it.
- 30:37Speaker 1: And it's malfeasance. It is malpractice, is what it is
- 30:43Speaker 1: to trade this to make this trade, and it's also
- 30:46Speaker 1: nepotism because the rest of the story. See, Nico Harrison
- 30:50Speaker 1: and Rob Polinka are besties. They're besties, ah, and they
- 30:56Speaker 1: go way back. Laker GM and the Maverick GM have
- 30:59Speaker 1: been buddy since Harrison was Kobe Bryant's marketing manager. We
- 31:04Speaker 1: understand at Nike and Rob Polenka was Kobe's agent, So
- 31:11Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant is responsible for this trade. Yeah, here is
- 31:16Speaker 1: the GM, Nico Harrison, and listen to him. Lick the
- 31:21Speaker 1: toes of Rob Polenka. Take a listen. This is illegal
- 31:24Speaker 1: in the Bible Belt.
- 31:25Speaker 5: I thought Rob and I were able to have, you know,
- 31:28Speaker 5: really intense conversations over the course of three or four
- 31:31Speaker 5: weeks that started out as a coffee that you know,
- 31:34Speaker 5: was more hey, would you ever I don't know, would
- 31:37Speaker 5: I let me think of? You know, and then it
- 31:40Speaker 5: built upon that, you.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Know, out of context, doesn't it sound like they're talking
- 31:45Speaker 1: about a hookup like a booty call? Right? Can we
- 31:48Speaker 1: how about this? Let's try something. Let's play this again
- 31:51Speaker 1: and just say this is like they're talking about on
- 31:54Speaker 1: a dating show, how they started dating and how one
- 31:57Speaker 1: thing led to another. And just imagine Nico Harrison and
- 32:01Speaker 1: Rob Polinka are in a relationship and they're on like
- 32:04Speaker 1: the what the Hontingmooners is or what's the what it
- 32:07Speaker 1: was that show called? Is that what I'm thinking of? Anyway?
- 32:09Speaker 5: Tell you listen, Rob and I were able to have,
- 32:12Speaker 5: you know, really intense conversations over the course of three
- 32:15Speaker 5: or four weeks. They started out as a coffee that,
- 32:18Speaker 5: you know, it was more, hey, would you ever let
- 32:22Speaker 5: me think of you know, and then it built upon that.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's perfect. That is like a day.
- 32:29Speaker 1: How'd your relationship start? How do you guys start hooking up? Mike?
- 32:31Speaker 1: What do you got? Man? Yes? Look, God, I want
- 32:37Speaker 1: to play it again, play it again. So again for
- 32:40Speaker 1: this little exercise, imagine, if you will, Nico Harrison and
- 32:44Speaker 1: Rob Polinker on some dating TV show and Nico, Nico,
- 32:49Speaker 1: can you tell us how you and Rob started and
- 32:51Speaker 1: started your relationship back in the day? How did it begin?
- 32:54Speaker 1: Let me now?
- 32:54Speaker 5: Plet me now, Rob and I were able to have,
- 32:57Speaker 5: you know, really intense conversations over the course of three
- 33:00Speaker 5: or four weeks. They started out as a coffee that,
- 33:03Speaker 5: you know, was more Hey, would you ever? I don't
- 33:06Speaker 5: know would I I don't think of you know. And
- 33:08Speaker 5: then it built upon.
- 33:10Speaker 1: That one thing led to another, and that's so good.
- 33:17Speaker 1: I love it. It's so great. Nothing better than out
- 33:22Speaker 1: of context audio.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
- 33:25Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Here
- 33:29Speaker 2: week a Maler, how about that to the third degree?
- 33:34Speaker 2: This is one big Ben gets grailed.
- 33:37Speaker 1: That was my first year in San Diego radio. The
- 33:39Speaker 1: Chargers played the forty nine Ers in the Super Bowl
- 33:41Speaker 1: and lost by a gazillion points. All right, Cooper, what
- 33:44Speaker 1: do we have here? Cooper?
- 33:45Speaker 6: In a recent interview Bill's GM Brandon Bean said he
- 33:48Speaker 6: does not regret the trade for Amari Cooper Flyer. He
- 33:51Speaker 6: then revealed that Cooper's wrist injury was more serious than
- 33:53Speaker 6: anyone outside the building. Double liar, And he also noted
- 33:56Speaker 6: that the team averaged seven more points in games Cooper
- 33:58Speaker 6: played than in games that he did.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Those things aren't related, triple liar.
- 34:02Speaker 6: Ben, do you think Cooper stays with Buffalo?
- 34:04Speaker 1: No? Because who wants to stay in Buffalo? Come on,
- 34:06Speaker 1: let's be honest. Here, Andy the comic book guy, he
- 34:09Speaker 1: left Buffalo. Felexus is there, he tried to Felexis, try
- 34:12Speaker 1: to leave to go to Lexington, Kentuck. You know, I
- 34:14Speaker 1: think ultimately Amari Cooper goes somewhere else. He's at that
- 34:18Speaker 1: weird crossroads in his career where he's near the end
- 34:22Speaker 1: of his primly make up excuses for him being hurt,
- 34:26Speaker 1: but he's a twenty million dollar receiver. He didn't play
- 34:29Speaker 1: like a twenty million dollar receiver. I think he's gone next.
- 34:32Speaker 6: Kevin Garnett took a profane shot at Jimmy Butler over
- 34:34Speaker 6: the weekend, saying, this is how non guarantees are going
- 34:37Speaker 6: to come into our league right here for s like this,
- 34:39Speaker 6: we effing fought our asses off through five or six
- 34:43Speaker 6: damn lockouts where we protect the integrity of the talent. Ben.
- 34:46Speaker 6: Do you think this Butler situation could have ramifications for
- 34:49Speaker 6: the rest of the league.
- 34:50Speaker 1: I actually do, because the NBA owners are gonna look
- 34:54Speaker 1: at this and say, why are we giving out Why
- 34:56Speaker 1: does everyone get a guaranteed contract, Because then a guy
- 34:59Speaker 1: like Jimmy Butler can just be a And I like
- 35:01Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, but he's been a complete a hole from
- 35:03Speaker 1: what I've read, So I think this is absolutely something
- 35:07Speaker 1: that will be brought up by a certain clique of
- 35:10Speaker 1: owners who are annoyed that they have to give out
- 35:12Speaker 1: only guaranteed. They're jealous of the in the NFL because
- 35:15Speaker 1: most NFL countries are not guaranteed next.
- 35:17Speaker 6: Over the weekend, Many Machado expressed disappointment that the Padres
- 35:20Speaker 6: haven't made any moves this offseason. Now, Ben, the Padres
- 35:24Speaker 6: won ninety three games last year. Do you think they
- 35:26Speaker 6: can replicate that success or are they going to take
- 35:28Speaker 6: a step back? Well, no chance, they will win fewer games.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Although the nationally West, the Giants blow and the Rockies
- 35:35Speaker 1: are bad. Arizona's decent, but it's the Padres. They're still
- 35:40Speaker 1: unloading players like the team is in a holding pattern
- 35:43Speaker 1: right now because the owner died a couple of years ago,
- 35:46Speaker 1: and the family, the widow and the brothers of the
- 35:50Speaker 1: guy are sewing for control of the team. It's a
- 35:54Speaker 1: hot mess, all right. So the Potters are going to
- 35:56Speaker 1: unload a couple of pitchers, which my spidery like sense
- 36:00Speaker 1: is tell me is not good for the Podrays winning
- 36:02Speaker 1: more than ninety three games. I'll take the under. How
- 36:04Speaker 1: did we do you passed? That is a win? I passed.
- 36:09Speaker 3: Past her Dog and al fight pass path.
