00:00Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks.
00:02Ooh, what'd they do?
00:03What'd they do?
00:04They didn't do anything except a torn ACL for Kyrie Irving, who played nine minutes
00:09last night, left the game in tears.
00:12And this franchise, who has gone through Mark Cuban selling the team, I don't know, maybe
00:17he knew something, maybe he was clairvoyant at this point, to Luka Doncic, your hero,
00:22knight in white shining armor, down there in Dallas, trading him over to Los Angeles
00:27to get Anthony Davis, a very good NBA player, who immediately got injured, saying, okay,
00:32we have our big two, Kyrie Irving and also Anthony Davis will carry us through, Kyrie
00:35tears his ACL.
00:38It's March 4th, ACL tears, coming back perfect, probably well over a year, so maybe remove
00:45Kyrie even from next year's version of the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Mavericks
00:50organization.
00:51Kevin goes, hey, you know what, before this all happens, by the way, you're going to pay
00:53about 10% more in your season tickets next year.
00:56Hello, Mavs fans today.
00:58Yeah, I feel terrible for Mavs fans.
01:00Like I know occasionally.
01:01No, I actually do.
01:02I know I do.
01:03I understand DRS that you don't because that's just not your style and I'm not taking a shot
01:09at all.
01:10I know that's not your style.
01:14You were in the NBA finals last year and the way the NBA works, a player like Luka Doncic,
01:20you go, all right, we're going to be back here three, four, five more times.
01:26Like that's truly the expectation.
01:29And then boom, he's gone.
01:32And that's rocked a lot of their fans.
01:34Like their fans have absolutely given up.
01:35I don't, I can't even come up with a comparison really that where people be like, oh, okay.
01:43I don't know.
01:44But Buffalo trading Josh Allen, maybe like just being like, ah, I'm not sure this works.
01:49Like what would it be like?
01:50I guess it would.
01:51Like if we're looking at like major trades that just were like so shocking, right?
01:56Like you were too young.
01:57I was not even born at that point.
01:58Like Wayne Gretzky to Los Angeles, like sent shockwaves.
02:02Like Canada was in like disrepair mourning for like months after that.
02:08Like the shining star, our brightest, you know, superstar native born in Edmonton shipped
02:15off to the Kings, not because it made the, you know, the Oilers a better team without
02:20Wayne Gretzky and what they got back was because the owner made bad business choices and had
02:24to sell him to a United States team that would buy him from them, which was horrible.
02:29Like that's like, and again, we're not Babe Ruth to the Yankees.
02:31I come on.
02:32It's 1920.
02:33Like we're not going back to that.
02:34But when you're talking about like trades, Don, I can't imagine a previous one more hurtful
02:39than Don chitch, which you have to go back again to 1988, the best player in hockey history
02:43got traded.
02:44That's how devastating it is.
02:46But the followup Donnie, yeah.
02:49ADS first game through three quarters looked out of this world and you go, you know what,
02:56man?
02:57Like if you're a Mavs fan, Don, you're like, man, let's just rally around this guy.
03:00Right?
03:01Let's, let's rally around this guy.
03:02Let's, you know, let's try and stay always injured already.
03:06All of your worst nightmares around AD, the stuff that surrounded him for his entire NBA
03:11career in game number one, you're like, all right, well, we do still have a pretty talented.
03:17Oh, Derek Lively's already out.
03:20I will.
03:21Hopefully gaffer get, oh, he's out now.
03:22All right.
03:23Well, here's the deal, man.
03:24We got the play in Kyrie's out there.
03:26He's given us like 40 minutes and I, well, PJ Washington's a little banged up.
03:30You have a max Christie's playing.
03:31Well, we might be able to figure this out.
03:33Well, max Christie's coming off the bench.
03:35Why?
03:36I don't know.
03:37Clay's hot.
03:38All right.
03:39Well, hopefully Kyrie can torn ACL.
03:40They are going to miss the playoffs entirely.
03:43They're going to miss the playoffs entirely.
03:45You just said it, Donnie, the Kyrie.
03:48Must be like the most optimistic approach for Kyrie Irving as he is back by next Christmas.
03:54Christmas.
03:55Yeah.
03:56Okay.
03:57So now you're going to do that.
03:58And if you're the Mavericks, Donnie, are you making more all in type moves?
04:02You know, people have, oh, Kevin Durant, that, that, okay, well, what are you, what are you
04:07moving on to make that happen?
04:09And also again, have the Mavericks now put themselves in a position, Donnie, where players
04:14like, I don't know if I want to go there.
04:16I don't know if I want to play as a Dallas Maverick because of the Luca deal.
04:19And now I don't feel like I have any control in my situation, Donnie.
04:24It's very on the board that the team who was last year in the finals led by a 25 year old
04:30phenom have now seen their NBA title window close.
