• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Bitch, you can call me the donkey of the day,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: but like I mean, no harm.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, Donkey of the day from Monday, February third, Go
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: to Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison. If you haven't heard,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: the Dallas Mavericks traded Luca don Chicks. How you pronounce
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: his name dunks don chick Luca? Okay, Luca is twenty
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: five years old.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: He was Rookie of the Year. He's been to the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: All Star Game five times.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: He led the league in scoring last year, averaging over
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: thirty three game, and he took the Map to the
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: NBA Finals last year. He's a franchise player, okay, the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: type of player you build around.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: But Nico Harrison doesn't seem to think so.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: So Luca was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, I mean,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: to the to the Los Angeles Lakers by Anthony Davis,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: who's no sloucher his damn self.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, he's got a care rare average of twenty.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Four to ten, nine time All Star, four time All
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: NBA First Team, two time All NBA Defensive Team, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: he gets hurts a lot one years old. Okay, Look,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I could be totally premature with this, he haw because
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I believe Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irvin are gonna be
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: great in Dallas. But some things make sense and some
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: things don't make sense to me, and Luca being traded
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: from Dallas to the Lakers doesn't make sense to me.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Let's go to ESPN News for the report. Police.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: This is maybe the most stunning trade, definitely that I've
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: been a part of in recent NBA history, as far
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: as it was never clearly out there, and I'm told Luka, Doncic,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Anthony Davis, Lebron James, the players, coaches, a lot of
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: people on both sides with the Mavericks and Lakers had
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: no idea. I can assuredly tell you it's a fact,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Lebron James had no idea this was coming. Anthony Davis
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: had no idea this was coming until Luka Doncic is
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: still stunned about this trade. But when you look at
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: the totality of what just occurred, Luka Doncic is a
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: twenty five year old, Like you said, Megastar, you know
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Perennial All NBA player, He's someone that you think of
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: as untouchable as a guy that's never gonna be traded.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I'm told that the Mavericks actually approached the Lakers and
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: offered Luka Dancic a few days ago in a trade
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: very recently. The Mavericks went out, they knew exactly who
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: they wanted. They wanted Anthony Davis. That's the player that
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: if they were ever gonna trade Luka Doncic, if this
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: was even a thought that was gonna cross their mind.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: It was four a d Just when I thought no
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: sports organization in Dallas could make worse decisions than my cowboys.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Here come the maths. Okay, Now, Dallas must know something
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: about Luca that we don't.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Reports are that Luca's weight went up to two hundred
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and seventy pounds, So you mean to tell me that
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Luca got traded because he gained too much weight.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: But Zion Van Dross is still a Pelican now, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: got nothing love, I got nothing but love for nine Williamson.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, South Carolina all day, but nobody's weight has fluctuated
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: more since the Architect, never too much. So you're not
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: gonna make me believe that Luca got traded because of
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: his weight. When a generational player like Luca gains weight,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you don't trade him. You get him a trainer and
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a nutrition.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Is simple. How do you go from thirty three.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: A game and an NBA Finals appearance last year to
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: twenty eight to eight and seven this year? So all
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, your team saying they don't want you
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: because you're fat. In fact, Migo Harrison said the reason
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: they made the trader was because they want to win
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: now and weren't thinking about ten years from now.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Listen, I think the long term is the time frame.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I think he fits our time frame. If you pair
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: him with Kyrie and the rest of the guys, he
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: fits right along with our time frame to win now
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: and win.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: In the future.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: And the future to me is three four years from now.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: In the future ten years from now.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: I don't think they probably buried me in Jay Budden
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: or we bear ourselves.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeh, think you might have buried yourself, Nicole. He went
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: to the NBA Finals last year. Okay, he's twenty five.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Give him and Kyrie some time to cooks around him
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: with more talent. Okay, how is the GM Are you
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: not thinking ten years down the road? This guy Luca
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: is going to be a superstar for a long long time.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Unless you know something we don't. Okay, Nico said the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: contract was affected too. Let's listen.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it wasn't really like a point. I
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: think it was how do we make our team better?
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: You know, there's some unique things about his contract that
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: we had to pay attention to. You know, there's there's
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: other teams that were loading up.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: You know that he was going to have.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: He was gonna be able to decide to make his
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: own decision at some point of whether he wants to
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: be here or not, whether we want a super maxim
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: or not, or whether he wants to opt out. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I think we had to take all that into consideration
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: and feel like we got out in front of what
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: could have been in tumultuous summer.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: So you're telling me, Djoki, you not going to get
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a super Max when it's his time. Jason Tatum signed
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a Supermax. Okay, you surround Luca with the right talent
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: so he doesn't want to leave. I don't know, man,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I think that this board to this story. Okay, who's
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: lady in the Mavericks organization? Did Luca knock off? All right?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Did you find out he's a serial killer in the Slovenia?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: All right, somebody tell me something that makes sense, because
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I refuse to believe basketball gods loved the Lakers this much.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, maybe they do.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I've been alive along a long time, long enough to
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: see the Lakers do this quite a few times. From
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Kareem abdu Jabari Shaquille O'Neil to Paul Gasol, the Lebron James,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the trades that have been vetoed like Chris Paul, they
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: always tend to get one that makes you scratch your head,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: like how they pull that off? And really, I would
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: like to know how did they pull that off? Okay, Nico,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: you got a piece like Luca and you didn't even
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: think the shop it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: You want us to buy that you are.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Thinking about winning a championship in the next three to
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: four years, but you didn't even put Luca on the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: open market to see what other deals were available.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that there was better deals out there. Okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: If this don't work, Donald Trump is gonna use you, Nico,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: as an example as to why DEI is ruining corporate America.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like this.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: And now, because Luca has been traded, he is ineligible
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: for the three hundred and forty five million dollars super
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Max contract that he was sure to sign. By the way,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's fair because it's not performance based.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Can earn that money because of what he does on
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the basketball court. He shouldn't have to leave hundreds of
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: millions of dollars on the table because executives made what
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I believe to be a poor decision. But I only
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: feel as poor because I don't have all the information.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: If it is because of his weight, then Luca needs
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: to sue for weight discrimination.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: If Big Dank can sue Lyft, then Big Dunk should
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: be able to sue the Masks.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: That's all I got. Please give General Manager Nico Harrison
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the biggest. He all, I'm playing with Big Danky. What
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you mean, that's for real? If Big Dan can sue
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Lift for weight discrimination, how come Big Dunk can't sue
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the mass.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Gotta be more to that state knocks.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Off somebody, girl or something in the organization.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, he was acting frustrated like he didn't want to resign,
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: so they figured they trade him before.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: He just opt out.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It gotta be more to that situation a year from now,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: right next year, I thought.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Right, gotta be more to that. Get rid of no
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Luca Dauntas like that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And people always ask about the no trade clause.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: I think there's only ten NBA players with a no
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: trade clause ever in their contract. Uh, and just the number.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: It was, David Robinson, John Stocked and Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan,
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: Kevin Garnett, Dirk Dwayne Wade, Lebron Carmelo and.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Bradley and Kevin still ended up getting traded. Who Kevin
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: got traded a few times.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had to approve it. You get traded,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but you just got approve that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I just refuse to believe that they got rid of
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Luca because he's like chocolate cupkicks and mill cream pots.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I just don't. I don't believe that. So you can
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: do that, you're gonna like you can go against them
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: if they tried.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Because you could sign a new trade clause where you
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: won't get traded unless you have to approve the trade.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: So if you don't, you gotta leave. But they don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: get that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Too too many plays, okay, wow, So it's just like
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: sleeve like.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: You want to you take this nigga.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: The fact that they come together and pick their own
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: teams and people like, well it's not fair.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Well, the coaches and management con trade him at any
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: any given point and they had to GotY.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: And the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars he's
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: gonna lose now because it's ineligible for the Supermaxicans he
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: got traded as if it's his faulty, his tub.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Well, thank you for that. Donkey Today.
