• 25:57
  Speaker 3: a sneak peek of what next Friday's podcast will be like.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: There is a year end special that Ben in the
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: production staff put together, and I'm going to take clips
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: from that, some of the classic drops that only exist
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: in my personal library. I'm going to do one special
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: on the twenty six to give Ben just one day off.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: He deserves it right now. I had to include from
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: earlier this year, Ben reacting to Luca getting traded to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the Lakers, because as you know, Ben is a closet
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Lakers fan.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yes to the unbelievable. A night that I still can't
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: believe happened, the Dallas Mavericks gave away the face of
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the franchise, Luca. We were completely gobsmacked. On the Ben
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Mahler Show. We did a special emergency Mallard monologue as
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the Mavericks gave away Luka Doncik to the La Lakers.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to that night and take a listen
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to how that went down. The mega mega mega mega
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: mega trade, Luca goes from the MAVs to the Lakers.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: For Anthony Davis, those are the headliners. We focus on
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the headliners. So I've got Puddy, Sandra Bullock, and Return
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of the Jedi, and we will combine all of these
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: things together and we will follow our nose is wherever
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: our nose takes us. And I got a big schnaz,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I got a really large nas so I will just
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: go wherever the nose takes us. So my first thought
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: on this is when you're when you're grading, It's in
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the mall Ord report card when it comes to grading trades,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and we are the industry leader in grading transactions. Absolutely,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: nobody is more trusted, nobody in overnight delivery of a
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: report card on transactions on this show in the middle
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: of the night on Fox. Nobody has this kind of information.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: So on the Malor report Card, the Malor report Card
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: on the big trade over the weekend, Dallas and La
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the Lakers reluctantly, I will give them a B minus
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: on the trade. I will give them a B minus.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: The Mavericks get an F, and then I don't know
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: that I can go lower? Is there anything lower than
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: an F? I would like to go lower than F?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Is there anything beyond F? Can I go beyond F?
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: Anyway?
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: LA also picked up a couple of roster span players
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: in the trade, Maxi Kleibah, who hit a game winning
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: shot against them a while back, and Mark, the much
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: traveled Mark Keith Morris. He also goes to the Lakers.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: It is a foo bar situation. It is I'm a
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: chumpion to still process the transactionan the math ain't mathing
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: on this one on many many levels, many many many levels.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: They're Lakers were just handed on a silver platter a
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Luka Doncic, and they didn't have to bid against anyone.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Why why would you do that. That's malfeasance, that's bad management,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that's incompetence, that's wrong on many levels. Why would you
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: do that? Wouldn't you fire the general manager if you
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: owned the team and that is how they did business,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I think you would. But it's like, oh, yeah, we're
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: gonna call one team and we'll just give you the
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: buy now price and that's it, and you don't have
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to bid and just submit an offer and we'll make
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: it happen. Yeah. Now, back when the NBA actually had leadership,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you know, guys with hair on their chest and balls
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and things like that, David Stern would have vetoed this trade.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: He vetoed the Chris Paul trade. Now he would have
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: vetoed this trade. Also said, well, that's not We're not
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: going to do that. But it's playing with puddy. The
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: whole thing's playing with putty putty explosives. We're talking ballistics.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Here is what we're talking about, plastic explosives. Now, Luca,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: he turns twenty six later this month, Happy birthday. There's
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: some great cake, great bakeries in Los Angeles. You love
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the bakries in LA and he was traded for a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: player who is near the end of his athletic prime,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: who has the superpower of missing games. His nickname is
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: street clothes Anthony Davis. That's his nickname. He is more
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: known for not showing up the work than showing up
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the work. And that's who the Dallas Mavericks had to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: get their hands on. Why I don't get it, Davis
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: turns thirty two in the month of March. Now, these
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: aren't your daddy's Mavericks. That is fair to say. Anybody,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: it still thinks. And not everyone heard the news, but
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Mark Cuban, who was a fanboy. I mean getting the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Mark Cuban's got a lot of issues there. But Cuban's
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: a fanboy, and he owned the Mavericks for a long
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: time and he sold out. Everyone's got their price, and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Magic Christian, Everyone's got their price. Mark Cuban sold out
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: for three point five billion dollars. And that's the cost
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: for Mark Cuban to allow this to happen. If Mark
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Cuban still owned the Dallas Mavericks, controlling interest of the Mavericks,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: he would not have done this. This was not a possibility,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: it was it. But that's not the case here. And Cuban,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: even if he felt he had to trade Luca for
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, would have rather sent him to an expansion
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: franchise in Papa, New Guinea than send him to the Lakers.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: There's no way that would have happened. And of course
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of dumb people that don't know that
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Mark Cuban sold out. He's a sellout. He sold the team.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Good for him three point five billion, and he's just
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: kind of there as a like a make a wish
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: thing when he travels with the Mavericks and all that,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we don't own the team, I don't
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: control anything, but I get to sit by the bench
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and the players like me and all that. Yeah. Wow,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: so new regime, new blood, and you get what you get.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: You get what you get now, Page two. What makes
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the Lukka the Luca trade so unique? What makes it
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: so unique? Well, this is like Sandra Bullock's Academy Award
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: winning performance in the old movie The blind Side. The
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: blind Side. Listen, if someone had called up this talk
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: show and said, hey, Ben, I'd like to make a trade.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: How about the mavericksand Luka Doncic to the Lakers? For
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Anthony Davis in some spare parts, some pocket lint to
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: be named later. We would have said something along the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: lines of, well, what bath salts are you sniffing right now, sir,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: and please go to the mini bar, and we would
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: have hung up on them. That what we would have done.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: A video game would have rejected that trade, would have said, no,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that's not a proper trade.
• 33:06
  Speaker 24: No, no way.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: A twenty twenty nine first round pick. That's all you're
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: getting in terms of future draft picks and scratcher tickets.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: One scratcher ticket in twenty twenty nine. That's eight. But
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: here we are. Here, we are the unthinkable, the unimaginable.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: It's the first time in NBA history that two raining
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: all NBA players have been traded for each other at
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: mid season, as the trade deadline's not until later this week,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: but the trades, the big ones have already happened at
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: this point in the modern era. This is the craziest trade,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the Luca trade of them all, and the thing that
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: stands out though in the world we're living in right now,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: twenty four to seven round the clock and the business
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: of basketball, the currency of basketball. I've had this conversation
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: with many people over the years who are in this
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: world and the rumor, and I ran a gossip site
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: for years before you know, I was working here at
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: the same time. But I ran a rumor site for
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: many many years. And the rumor is more important than
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the reality, Like the rumor gets people talk. And what
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: happened with this particular trade here? Uh, you know, it's
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: it's stunning because there was not even a peep.
• 34:32
  Speaker 13: Got a murder. I gotta go
