00:00I guess Nico had a press conference, or it's going on right now, or something like that.
00:06And two things happened in that.
00:08One, he said he didn't, in not so many words, he didn't understand how important Luka was to their fan base.
00:17And two, he said, in not so many words, I think I've done a really good job as the GM of the Mavericks.
00:25And three, I want to eat a nine block.
00:28Honestly, I cannot even believe this guy.
00:32What world is he living in?
00:34What bubble is this guy living in that he thinks he's done a great job or that he doesn't understand how popular Luka Doncic was?
00:43I think he's found out now the hard way.
00:46I don't really understand why he did a press conference, Scott, to be honest.
00:52What are you doing?
00:54Like, was it going to go well?
00:56Like, in any way at all, would it have gone well?
01:00I get it.
01:01I get it that, you know, you have the end of season press conferences, etc.
01:05But there's ways of doing it.
01:07And I almost feel bad for him, in a sense, Scott.
01:11I've never seen, I just saw the question asked to him, why shouldn't you be fired?
01:18Which, you know, I mean, some jackass kid asking him, why shouldn't you be fired?
01:23And the kid even said, you know, nobody's asking for the media to be fired, but they're asking for you to be fired.
01:28Now, he said, I shouldn't be judged by injuries, right?
01:32I shouldn't be judged by injuries.
01:34But, you know, Scott, they mismanaged this whole thing.
01:37We can rehash the deal.
01:38We know all about it.
01:39We know what went down.
01:40But let's be real as well as far as the new ownership group there, right?
01:46I mean, do you think the GM is just trading Luka Doncic without the owners being on board and wanting it as well?
01:52Well, they're going to have a chance to redeem themselves somehow if they can, you know, have a great offseason.
01:58He said he should, he's, well, you know, they're going to have money to spend, but players aren't going to want to be involved because they know that it's just sort of a, there's a circus atmosphere going on there.
02:10And, listen, Harrison was right when he said he shouldn't be judged, you know, that the team can't be fully judged or the trade can't be judged because of injuries.
02:18But the problem is, AD's always going to be injured.
02:20Yeah, everyone has injuries.
02:23Every team has injuries.
02:24Tatum went down yesterday.
02:26It never ends.
02:27I don't want to hear injuries.
02:29The real crime was they should have gotten, they should have gotten Austin Reeves in that deal as well, right?
02:36Or they, listen, like I said, we can go over to Luka stuff.
02:39I mean, it's old news, but if you're going to trade him, I would have traded him in the offseason, Scott.
02:43I would have traded him in the offseason.
02:45Like, if you really wanted to legitimately trade him, fine, trade him.
02:48But make sure you get, like, an insane haul back in return.
02:52That's the insane, that's the crazy thing about the whole deal.
02:57You know, Will, like I said, the owner is getting a free pass on this.
02:59It's not like the general managers don't have control to just trade people like star players without the owners being on board.
03:05But the Mavericks are a mess, bro.
03:07And they're going to be a mess for years right now because of their new ownership group.
