00:00 The Dallas Mavericks re-sign Markeith Morris.
00:03 Wow, tell me how you really feel.
00:06 Let me know what you think this impact is on the Mavericks.
00:10 - Okay, let's take this twofold.
00:12 So, for the Mavericks as a team, I think it's a good move.
00:17 Because he's got, let's be kind here, he's got an edge.
00:22 We talked about Dylan Brooks being an agitator.
00:24 Markeith Morris is an agitator.
00:26 - You need that guy.
00:27 - You need a guy.
00:28 - You need to get those dirty fouls.
00:28 - If Luca's whining, whining, whining,
00:30 a guy will step in and go, "Luca, I got this.
00:32 "Let me whine, let me get thrown out of the game.
00:34 "Let me protect you."
00:35 If there's a physical altercation,
00:37 Markeith Morris will be first in line
00:38 to start throwing hands, right?
00:41 It's good for that.
00:41 - Right, it's the Draymond Green effect.
00:44 - But as a Mavericks observer,
00:47 how do you like this addition to your team?
00:52 Because unless you have zero memory,
00:54 and remember I watched basketball the last three years.
00:57 If you have, you know that the Morris twins
01:00 are the dirtiest brothers in the history of basketball.
01:04 - They didn't play all that much last season either.
01:06 - Well, they didn't have to.
01:07 Their reputation precedes them.
01:09 It was Markeith Morris, by the way,
01:11 who came up and blindsided Nikola Jokic
01:15 in the ribs, which made Jokic shove him down
01:19 and cause that big melee up in Denver.
01:21 Just a dirty play.
01:23 And if you remember the Mavericks in the bubble in 2020,
01:27 the guy who was, Luka twisted his ankle,
01:29 and the guy who was stepping on his foot after that,
01:32 and then like hammered him,
01:32 he got thrown out of the game for a hard foul.
01:36 That was Markeith's twin brother, Marcus.
01:39 So it's in their DNA.
01:42 And again, there's tough players and forcers,
01:45 and then there's just cheap shot artists, dirty players.
01:48 And sorry, that's Markeith Morris.
01:50 Now, if I'm in the NBA, do I want him on my team?
01:52 Yes, but if he's on anybody else's team,
01:54 he's public enemy number one.
01:55 So good luck, man.
01:57 Good luck, man's fans.
01:59 You know, the good news is he's not gonna be-
02:01 - Playing against you.
02:02 - But he may have to protect Luka from his brother,
02:05 Marcus, who'll be after him.
02:06 - Right, which could be really interesting.
02:07 - That could be fun.
