00:00Even if they get into this playoffs, they're going to lose to the Thunder.
00:04And it's just going to be, last year they beat the Thunder and this year they're going to lose to them.
00:08But I think it's true, nothing in the NBA is wasted.
00:11This is one of the big lessons that I learned watching Greg Popovich over the years.
00:16Greg Popovich was a master at always making something productive out of anything.
00:20He was the end of a blowout or a game where he was sitting as starters.
00:23He always used it.
00:24The Mavericks can use this.
00:25And there's a possibility that they could get some internal momentum that they could build for next year.
00:30But for Nico, there is nothing that can happen this year that's going to save his reputation in the sights of the Mavericks fans.
00:39Nothing.
00:39The only thing would be what?
00:43It's not going to happen, and that's why we're saying it.
00:45But if Anthony Davis goes berserk and they beat Oklahoma City, I'm not saying it's going to happen,
00:51but he goes berserk and they beat Oklahoma City, and did I say make a deep playoff front?
00:56Well, wait a minute now.
00:57That will help Nico.
00:58Are they getting to the finals?
01:00I'm just saying.
01:01My finals last year.
01:02Wendy, I'm just confused, too.
01:04I'm just confused.
01:05So the fans in Dallas actually believe that Nico just went completely rogue
01:08and decided to do the craziest trade we've ever seen without a call from upstairs?
01:13Like, he's just going to be the fall guy without people looking?
01:16That's fair.
01:16Unfortunately, yes.
01:17Yeah, Wendy, to that, you say what?
01:18Unfortunately, yes.
01:20Yes.
01:21Yeah, but is that fair?
01:22Ownership signed off on it, but it was Nico's trade.
01:25Okay.
01:26I'll believe you.
01:27And you realize that he said yesterday, or two days ago, no regrets.
