Speaker 1: The Mavericks are offering refunds to disgruntled season ticket holders.
0:29
Speaker 1: This over the Luca trade to the Lakers. Is this
0:33
Speaker 1: a big deal, a little deal or no deal? Also,
0:37
Speaker 1: SunStar Kevin Durant's name has been floated as a possibility
0:42
Speaker 1: to return to the Golden State Warriors. How exactly would
0:46
Speaker 1: that work? And we'll talk some baseball. The Blue Jays
0:49
Speaker 1: have standing offers for both Pete Alonzo and Alex Bregman.
0:55
Speaker 1: What happens next, We'll try to figure that out. We'll

1:08

Speaker 2: Lot there sends.
2:17
Speaker 1: Over the latest point spreads. But our lead this hour.
2:21
Speaker 1: He is from Dallas. The fallout continues after the mav
2:27
Speaker 1: Rex gave away the family jewels. You're never supposed to
2:32
Speaker 1: give away the family jewels and.
2:35
Speaker 2: Man did they do that? Wow?
2:38
Speaker 1: Wawsers Wausers, Wauserswausers. And there will be many stories that
2:43
Speaker 1: come out, Books will be written years from now about
2:46
Speaker 1: this episode and what a debacle it is with the
2:51
Speaker 1: post mortem on that trade which still has life, still
2:55
Speaker 1: has life. There's been an uprising in Dallas.
2:59
Speaker 2: If you have not.
3:01
Speaker 1: Been paying attention, the natives are not happy.
3:06
Speaker 2: They are not happy.
3:08
Speaker 1: Anarchy, rebellion, underground fighting, the resistance of the Mavericks. It's
3:16
Speaker 1: pretty wild, and I get it the closest come. I
3:19
Speaker 1: was talking to somebody about the brewhaha going on with
3:25
Speaker 1: Luca and it reminded me of the absolute outrage. This
3:32
Speaker 1: is a different generation, but I'm going to date myself.
3:34
Speaker 1: The Dodgers had a player who was the most popular
3:37
Speaker 1: player in LA. The Lakers didn't have a very good
3:39
Speaker 1: team at the time, and not that the Dodgers were
3:42
Speaker 1: winning anything, but they were a playoff team and they
3:44
Speaker 1: had this guy that everyone in town loved.
3:46
Speaker 2: He was the biggest star in sports in LA.
3:48
Speaker 1: There was no NFL in LA, and the Dodgers traded him.
3:53
Speaker 1: Mike Piazza was his name, and there was quite the hullabaloo.
4:00
Speaker 1: It was wild when that happened. They traded him to
4:05
Speaker 1: the Florida Marlins.
4:07
Speaker 2: And there was chaos and bit of mayhem for a while.
4:13
Speaker 2: That's a long time ago.
4:14
Speaker 1: It's different now because of social media, the insubordination, the
4:19
Speaker 1: disobedience gets played a lot more. But this Luka Doncic
4:23
Speaker 1: trade is next level, right. So the MAVs, if you
4:26
Speaker 1: didn't hear.
4:27
Speaker 2: What they've done, they've offered refunds.
4:30
Speaker 1: They've offered refunds to fans who have canceled season tickets
4:35
Speaker 1: as a direct result of them saying bye bye to
4:40
Speaker 1: Luca Donzig and sending him to the Lakers. Now, in
4:43
Speaker 1: a prepared statement from some, vice president b Lowhard of
4:49
Speaker 1: the Dallas basketball team said via text message, we value
4:54
Speaker 1: every season ticket member relationship and the reps are available
4:59
Speaker 1: to take call members with any concerns or questions. So
5:04
Speaker 1: that is not directly answering the question. But there are
5:08
Speaker 1: TV stations in Dallas that claim they have the receipts,
5:13
Speaker 1: they have evidence from season ticket holders that have gotten
5:16
Speaker 1: their money back, So wowsers.
5:19
Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question.
5:21
Speaker 1: The Mavericks, based on the evidence, are offering refunds money
5:29
Speaker 1: back to disgruntled season ticket holders because they got rid
5:33
Speaker 1: of the franchise player, Luca Donzig. Is this a big deal,
5:39
Speaker 1: a little deal or no deal?
5:44
Speaker 2: All right?
5:44
Speaker 1: So I've got Madonna, cigar smoke, and military jargon, and
5:50
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and try
5:54
Speaker 1: to dodge a bullet, is what we're going to try
5:57
Speaker 1: to do. So, first of all, this this is not
6:00
Speaker 1: a little deal. It's not no deal. It's not a
6:03
Speaker 1: big deal. It is a ginormous deal, is what this is.
6:07
Speaker 1: We live in a world of professional sports where all sales.
6:10
Speaker 2: Are final, no returns.
6:14
Speaker 1: You leave the store, it's yours, and you're paying to
6:20
Speaker 1: see the uniform. It doesn't matter if the star player
6:26
Speaker 1: is there or not.
6:27
Speaker 2: Now, there's a story that I heard years.
6:29
Speaker 1: Ago, and I've only been to one Broadway show and
6:32
Speaker 1: I hated it. There was too much singing, too much
6:36
Speaker 1: for me. It was an old theater in Manhattan, the
6:39
Speaker 1: seats were small, I didn't my legs were too long.
6:42
Speaker 2: It was not a good experience.
6:44
Speaker 1: And I learned this though, years ago that on Broadway
6:48
Speaker 1: it's not really publicized, but if the headliner at a
6:52
Speaker 1: Broadway show that is right there above the above the marquee,
6:57
Speaker 1: as they say, they're build above the title in the
6:59
Speaker 1: Broadway show, if that performer is out because of illness,
7:04
Speaker 1: or they're on vacation, or they've got the snank or whatever,
7:09
Speaker 1: right the people that bought the tickets, the theater goer
7:14
Speaker 1: is entitled to a full refund or a ticket exchange.
7:18
Speaker 1: That doesn't work like that in professional sports. So by
7:21
Speaker 1: the Mavericks offering money back. They're acting like the lyrics
7:26
Speaker 1: of that old Madonna song, Oh Father, I have sinned.
7:30
Speaker 2: Actions speak louder than words.
7:33
Speaker 1: We've all learned that throughout our lives, and we all
7:36
Speaker 1: know that to be true. And so despite doing everything
7:39
Speaker 1: they can publicly by planning stories that Luca is an alcoholic,
7:44
Speaker 1: that he should go to a fat farm, and all
7:46
Speaker 1: these other stories, this is a confessional by the Dallas Matters.
7:52
Speaker 1: They are admitting a betrayal of the relationship with the
7:58
Speaker 1: fan and this is a boondoggle. It is an admission
8:04
Speaker 1: the Mavericks have announced to the rest of the sporting world.
8:08
Speaker 1: We are the Dallas Mavericks. We soiled our underwear. We
8:13
Speaker 1: screwed the pooch, we messed up. Now some have said
8:18
Speaker 1: they're looking to cut the class action lawsuit the Billboard
8:22
Speaker 1: lawyers off at the pass. I don't believe that to
8:26
Speaker 1: be true. There have been many lawsuits that have been
8:29
Speaker 1: filed over the years, people demanding money back because somebody
8:34
Speaker 1: got hurt, a star player got hurt, or there were
8:37
Speaker 1: other star players that got traded, and in court it
8:42
Speaker 1: has been determined and asked legal beagles this it has
8:47
Speaker 1: been determined by the courts that when you buy a
8:50
Speaker 1: ticket to a sporting event, you are buying a ticket
8:53
Speaker 1: to watch the uniform. You're there to watch the laundry.
8:57
Speaker 1: You're not there to watch the player. Even when these
8:59
Speaker 1: teams market the headline player, the court system decided it
9:05
Speaker 1: doesn't matter you're there.
9:07
Speaker 2: They could put any kind of.
9:09
Speaker 1: Strapper, any kind of JABBRONI Dingleberry out there on the
9:12
Speaker 1: court wearing that.
9:13
Speaker 2: Uniform, and you get what you get, and you're gonna
9:18
Speaker 2: like it. You're not gonna win any ground.
9:20
Speaker 1: So they the Mavericks would have won if they'd gone
9:24
Speaker 1: to court, if somebody had sued them, But by paying
9:29
Speaker 1: out money, and who knows how much they're gonna have
9:32
Speaker 1: to end up paying out the Dallas Mavericks. And now
9:35
Speaker 1: if you start paying some people out, don't you have
9:37
Speaker 1: to pay everybody out that wants a refund?
9:38
Speaker 2: Is and that normally how that works. What a mess?
9:43
Speaker 2: What a mess.
9:44
Speaker 1: It also is an indication that you know, is there
9:46
Speaker 1: something else going on, right big brother NBA, or it
9:50
Speaker 1: was a mandated to do this. I'm starting to lean
9:53
Speaker 1: more that direction based on the fact that the Mavericks
9:57
Speaker 1: are offering refunds like they realize, hey, they're moral compass there.
10:01
Speaker 1: They're like, well, we screwed this up and we need
10:05
Speaker 1: to give people their money back.
10:06
Speaker 2: Need to do them a solid now. Secondly, as we
10:10
Speaker 2: close in on the and be a trade.
10:15
Speaker 1: Deadline, which is coming up here in a couple of days,
10:17
Speaker 1: the Suns I think it's tomorrow. The Suns continue to
10:22
Speaker 1: test the wind to gauge the market for Kevin Durant.
10:27
Speaker 2: Now.
10:27
Speaker 1: The Golden State Warriors said to be hot and heavy
10:32
Speaker 1: bird dogging KD. But they are not the only team
10:37
Speaker 1: trying to find a way to get Durant. They're at
10:40
Speaker 1: thirty six years old and he's on a Sun's team.
10:44
Speaker 2: That it's like a seesaw back and forth, right back
10:48
Speaker 2: and forth, not really getting anywhere.
10:51
Speaker 1: The mav Rex believe it or not, and the Rockets
10:54
Speaker 1: are also said to be observing gauging the market as
11:00
Speaker 1: well for Kevin Durant now the big one which has
11:03
Speaker 1: been bouncing around the pinball machine of sports chatter, Golden
11:09
Speaker 1: State Kevin Durant would end up with the Warriors and
11:15
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler would end up in Phoenix, and supposedly this
11:19
Speaker 1: is in play be a three team trade, so let
11:23
Speaker 1: us discuss this.
11:24
Speaker 2: The Suns. Kevin Durant, his name.
11:27
Speaker 1: Has been floated over the last few hours as a
11:32
Speaker 1: possibility to return to the Golden State Warriors. How would
11:38
Speaker 1: that work? Considering how Kevin Durant exited stage left, So
11:43
Speaker 1: how would that work? It would work like good business
11:48
Speaker 1: is how it worked, This type of move, which will
11:53
Speaker 1: only pour fuel jet fuel on the conspiracy of NBA
11:58
Speaker 1: executives going into a dusty, cigar smoke filled broom closet
12:05
Speaker 1: somewhere in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue there right above the
12:11
Speaker 1: NBA store in Midtown Manhattan, working out ways to artificially
12:17
Speaker 1: enhance the low television ratings.
12:21
Speaker 2: I know what we're gonna do. Why don't we just
12:23
Speaker 2: have Luca relocate to the Lakers.
12:25
Speaker 1: And Kevin Durant will go back to the Bay Area
12:29
Speaker 1: and abra cadabra, hocus pocus. Just like that, we have
12:36
Speaker 1: some excitement in the air everywhere. As far as Durant,
12:39
Speaker 1: he is a basketball home bow. He will always be
12:42
Speaker 1: a basketball hole bow.
12:43
Speaker 2: He really has no home. He is a chameleon.
12:46
Speaker 1: He has shown the ability to adapt, sometimes better than
12:49
Speaker 1: other times, to his surroundings to ensure his survival. Change
12:54
Speaker 1: his teams every couple of years. Who would Golden State
12:57
Speaker 1: trade in order to make this happen. To facilitate the trade,
13:02
Speaker 1: the chatter is they're willing to unload and Drew Wiggins,
13:07
Speaker 1: that Wiggins and some other spare parts would go to Miami,
13:13
Speaker 1: Jimmy Buckets would go to the Valley of the Sun,
13:16
Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant would end up in the Bay Area.
13:19
Speaker 1: There's a lot of moving parts. For example, one of
13:23
Speaker 1: the reasons we believe that Jimmy Butler wanted to go
13:27
Speaker 1: to the Suns was because of Kevin Durant. So if
13:31
Speaker 1: you trade Kevin Durant for Jimmy Butler, do you get
13:35
Speaker 1: an unhappy Jimmy Buckets.
13:37
Speaker 2: And if you want to know what that's like, ask
13:40
Speaker 2: pat Riley. He would say, no, bueno is what he
13:44
Speaker 2: would say. Night final, fuck. Let's go to baseball.
13:48
Speaker 1: Some last minute, last minute shopping before spring training. We
13:52
Speaker 1: are hearing the Blue Jays have offers on the table,
13:56
Speaker 1: not only to the Polar Bear Peedelanzi. I feel like
14:00
Speaker 1: a guy named the Polar Bear should playing in Canada
14:02
Speaker 1: three year offer to Peter Alonzo, but also cheating Astro
14:09
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, a six year offer to the cheating a hole.
14:15
Speaker 1: So Toronto is in play to land whoever selects the
14:19
Speaker 1: offer first between Bregman and the aforementioned Peter Alonzo. So
14:24
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays have these standing offers to these guys,
14:26
Speaker 1: Peede Alonzo and Alex Bregman.
14:28
Speaker 2: What happens next?
14:31
Speaker 1: So what happens next is military jargon, hurry up and wait,
14:37
Speaker 1: hurry up and wait. Now, today is February fifth. You
14:42
Speaker 1: know that pitchers and catchers for the Chicago Cubs will
14:46
Speaker 1: report to spring training in four days. We are four
14:50
Speaker 1: days away.
14:51
Speaker 2: From the Cubs of the first team to open up
14:52
Speaker 2: spring training.
14:54
Speaker 1: And then over the next like two or three days,
14:56
Speaker 1: pretty much every other team in baseball will arise in
15:00
Speaker 1: Arizona and Florida. They'll start trickling in for spring training,
15:06
Speaker 1: and then about a day after that they'll start having
15:09
Speaker 1: Tommy John operations right and left. But it's getting laid
15:12
Speaker 1: early around here, and based on what we're hearing, it
15:17
Speaker 1: sounds now that Alonzo is torn. He's got almost identical offers,
15:22
Speaker 1: one from Toronto.
15:24
Speaker 2: And one from the Mets.
15:26
Speaker 1: So if that's the case, you would think that the
15:27
Speaker 1: polar Bear goes back with his tail between his legs
15:31
Speaker 1: and hangs out with mister met and is the King
15:34
Speaker 1: of Queens or maybe the Prince of Queens now because
15:38
Speaker 1: of Juan Soto being a New York Met. As far
15:41
Speaker 1: as the cheating Astro Alex Bregman is concerned, based on
15:48
Speaker 1: my read of the room, Bregman goes to Canada, that's
15:52
Speaker 1: the guy they're gonna get. The Astros general manager Dana
15:56
Speaker 1: Brown or the cheating a holes. He said that Alex
16:01
Speaker 1: Bregman will not be returning to the team. So now
16:05
Speaker 1: these guys change their mind all the time, because the
16:07
Speaker 1: Mets pretty much said that Alonso was not going to
16:10
Speaker 1: go back to the Mets, and now it sounds like
16:12
Speaker 1: he's leaning that direction. But the Astros GM said Bregman
16:16
Speaker 1: will not return to the team. So Bregman's name is
16:19
Speaker 1: dirt and he doesn't have a lot of options. He
16:23
Speaker 1: doesn't Canada is a pretty good halfway house for Bregman.
16:30
Speaker 1: They accept cheaters. In Toronto, they've had George Springer, that
16:34
Speaker 1: dirty rotten dog. George Springer has been a Blue Jay
16:38
Speaker 1: for several years. He was the MVP of a world
16:41
Speaker 1: series where the team cheated. But because he plays in Toronto.
16:45
Speaker 1: He's getting a free pass and all that. But those
16:47
Speaker 1: of us that are real, the real fans, they know
16:50
Speaker 1: what's going on. So we still have him with a
16:53
Speaker 1: scarlet letter for the rest of his career. George Springer
16:56
Speaker 1: and he can be joined by Alex Bregman and someday
16:59
Speaker 1: Jose Alboo by Jose Albooby can join them.
17:06
Speaker 2: Is the Ben Mahlor Show.
