00:00 you being the defensive stopper kind of taking the challenge on of the opposite
00:04 team's best weapon. How do you feel about that?
00:06 Knowing he has confidence in you.
00:08 Yeah, I mean I think I know that you know the coaches have confidence in me as a player.
00:12 I have confidence in myself as a you know defensive player and you know I'm
00:17 ready to take on whatever role it is for the team and I'm excited.
00:21 The word on the street is you are the most athletic player on this team.
00:25 Who can you add as close to you and challenge you for that title?
00:29 I mean we have a lot of athletic guys on the team you know whoever said that
00:34 thank you but I think you know at the end of the day like it's a little
00:39 different you know we got younger guys on the team now. I've been the youngest guy for
00:43 like three years in a row now so it's refreshing to see a couple younger guys
00:46 but you know everybody's athletic you know. D. Jones came in the other day and
00:51 basically grabbed the rebound over the backboard and I was like all right so
00:55 maybe he might be most athletic actually. I think you know this Apple team's
01:01 you know athletic you know it's ready to go for sure.
01:04 D. Jones did win the slam dunk contest. He did. Yeah he did and I can see why.
01:09 Josh, as an outsider Australian, what is an outsider foreigner's perspective on that idea of management?
01:17 Is that like an American only thing? On load management?
01:21 Yeah, does that happen in another country? I don't know. Is that just like an American/US thing?
01:26 Honestly I don't know. I couldn't tell you. I haven't really played here so I couldn't tell you.
01:31 This summer you indicated a desire to stay here long term and I think the Mavs have mutual interest in that.
01:39 Do you have to compartmentalize your emotions on that as negotiations go along with that deadline coming up?
01:46 I mean at the end of the day like I know I want to be here. I'm gonna work as if I'm gonna be here for a long time.
01:53 I want to be able to win in Dallas. I want to be in Dallas. So you know whatever their decision is their decision.
01:58 But at the end of the day you know I got the same goal every single day and that's just to be the best teammate and the best player I can be for the team.
02:04 And are you optimistic that that can happen?
02:07 I mean yeah for sure. I mean I think you know it's always good to stay positive with everything.
02:12 You know we watch a new NBA season. It's kind of like a new school year. If this team had a yearbook what would Luka Doncic be?
02:18 Would he be best dressed? Class clown?
02:22 He would not be best dressed. What would Luka be? Probably class clown. I'll give him class clown.
02:32 What about you?
02:33 What about me? Just a smart guy in class. Smart school. 4.0 GPA. You can tell that's Dwight.
02:45 I might.
