write off the car. not kid. I
0:15
know we can jump it to this a
0:17
a a deeper starting
0:20
next week. But now you start having
0:22
questions about what this team
0:24
is to look like next year and your immediate concern
0:26
and , one that jumps off the page as
0:29
far as the mavericks is jalen brunson
0:31
he's an unrestricted free agents
0:34
and now you have to decide the
0:36
bag of as he's going to get that he's
0:38
earned it is you gonna be here are
0:40
they going to be somewhere else out the the game mark
0:42
cuban said i you know what number one priority is
0:45
to sunday when bronson but ,
0:47
on restrict it and he can go anywhere he was
0:49
so ah my
0:52
thought was in my can i will kind of talking
0:54
about this and a break you sound brundtland
0:56
you bring him back this team pretty much
0:58
as is bring
1:01
, piece here in there but it's gonna be nothing
1:03
of significance because saddam bronson
1:05
will probably maybe even put you into into
1:08
some kind of tax levels are you gonna to
1:10
pay a ton of money to bring him back
1:13
because the salary was so tiny and what
1:15
he's gonna command their own the fried and market
1:17
so they have a lot of questions to
1:19
be answered as for strana rework
1:22
this roster to make it better than it was dispatched
1:24
here
1:26
i think the overriding question
1:28
is if you look at this
1:30
roster as it is there's
1:33
this roster winning championships i'm i'm
1:38
going to say no yeah right as is
1:40
now the
1:42
next question then becomes will
1:45
this franchise win the championship
1:47
some that he with jail and runs well
1:51
we can discuss that here
1:55
we have the problem
1:57
of loving a player and
1:59
by the killing brunson it was a lovable
2:02
player
2:04
what what does the franchise
2:06
do with him we talk about this all
2:08
the time sony all the time
2:11
with jerry jones and we talk
2:13
about how jury falls in love with his
2:15
players and how dangerous that
2:17
is and i'm not saying that gym
2:20
bronson does the lovable flakes seniors
2:24
if you bring him back who
2:26
else do you then move off the
2:28
roster in an attempt to
2:30
get better
2:34
here's your need for big man does
2:36
that out way
2:38
Having Jalen Brunson Bronson on
2:40
your roster to try and get better and
2:42
get to a a championship because
2:44
, stopped around about who
2:47
you may think could take this team to
2:49
another level. And this those
2:51
guys is making a lot of money the
2:53
only asset you have to
2:56
go and grab someone that will make a significant
3:00
difference is Jalen Brunson.
3:02
It is that time to trade, I do after
3:04
the post-game. That's
3:06
what Charles Barkley said and they believe
3:08
that they should sign and trade jaylen bronson
3:11
and i guess is all about who you get in return
3:14
and i guess we i'd never gonna
3:16
stop comparing teams to what we had
3:18
and twenty eleven but i do feel
3:20
that this team needs it's tyson
3:22
chandler i don't think it does these
3:24
to have a dominant guy in the middle of
3:26
some one that fits this team perfectly
3:29
as being the toughest gown squat
3:31
we've had too many times around her norm
3:33
was hafiz guy own the squad
3:35
is just been a tiny dogs were
3:38
, stackhouse and i'd
3:40
get there is always a tough gotta me but
3:42
he can be the toughest gown a squad he's a
3:45
tiny got you need a big man
3:47
in a middle there's got to protect your guy of his
3:49
guys and protect the pain and protect the rim
3:51
and all that that again it doesn't
3:53
add to be a superstar because we the named
3:55
you hear the whole time is rudy go bare rudy
3:58
go bears make it my thirties seven million
4:00
dollars so as gonna take a whole
4:03
lotta doing and is easy to say about
4:05
tha and pretends oh whatever
4:08
and that my them are gonna do that unless
4:10
they're just strictly it's hurt our mode and they
4:12
want to get rid of the player to try to get
4:15
some one the i'll
4:18
just get all for someone the that's
4:20
not gonna work is there any way
4:23
and just simplify cause simplify can't do and be
4:25
and money movement all the stuff Yuurisan
4:28
Bronson, and you can get a Rudy
4:30
gobert. Know
4:32
how
4:34
many future first-round picks of which we don't have that
4:36
much and then you need Hardaway
4:39
for. They have to take all these deals maxi.
4:43
your power like you that kind of so there's really
4:45
no way matter of this always a way it seems
4:47
like max deal
4:49
is not guaranteed
4:52
that nine point two million
4:54
dollars that's not a guaranteed like don't
4:57
do right
4:59
i hit as much as you hate to say it there's such glue
5:01
dues don't you think if you're
5:03
really revamp this whole thing maxi
5:06
and power we've had
5:08
him so long we love
5:10
on
5:11
they are okay i
5:14
think maxi could be a key part of part
5:16
championship contending team yeah
5:19
i agree because of his defense the
5:22
way he plays the feds in even can
5:24
get hot from the three point line and fits
5:26
what this mavericks team wants to do
5:28
yeah he could be a key part of that pow
5:32
so easily i think he
5:34
can be easily dismiss in
5:36
a series like he was his have
5:38
yeah he played all eighty two regular
5:40
season games that he was feels okay like
5:43
they start the day with how many gay a plays
5:45
in a row norm with lucas the an overpowered
5:48
boom never lugar makes him better that's
5:50
the same what he does make if there's no luca
5:52
than what kind of players he so that's
5:54
eleven million dollars and he's on the roof and he's
5:56
on the books for next year and it's so easy to
5:59
travel
6:00
Just match money, but you're going to
6:02
have to give somebody something. If you're trying
6:04
to get back something that's going to try to
6:06
take you to the next level. don't
6:08
play sagal have
6:10
no please go on I
6:13
just can see what are we play game of rank them
6:17
ah and with the mavericks starting
6:19
at the top
6:21
rank the player in
6:23
order of i have
6:25
to have him back next you
6:30
okay were you in november one know
6:32
finances i mean not likely
6:34
you are like us are lot of of the roster
6:36
right you got him on the roster and
6:39
if you're trying to think the next step to be
6:41
a championship contending team who
6:43
and oughta do you need on his team his really do
6:45
this do this good exercise of course lucas
6:47
number one okay but then the bronson question that
6:49
were have been talking about has to come up right
6:51
here i know because ronson does
6:54
make luke a better the broker the perfect
6:56
you too can carry that load and give
6:58
him a little rests and was so on the floor
7:00
even but even he admits
7:03
that when lucas on the floor he differs
7:06
and when you're making a million and a half of
7:08
the hollows as good but now if you're making twenty
7:10
five i don't need you to you
7:12
to it differ it any point
7:15
i need you to be as aggressive as you possibly
7:17
gail and i wonder if there could be sustainable
7:19
throughout the whole entire year so
7:23
i don't even work on i even made number
7:25
two i think think rank dorian
7:27
finney smith to that to i had
7:31
that's why i have number number two on
7:33
this club okay now it starts
7:35
to get interesting a really doris
7:41
the we have served him back of course
7:43
i don't i am a a broken bladerunner
7:46
thrust is that the surprise brunswick and be
7:48
there if this is this for you but realize
7:50
that it's gonna be at twenty something
7:52
million dollars a year now which
7:54
make a huge difference
7:57
the the
8:00
the really good exercise and i think of
8:02
i'm leaning towards bullock as thirty
8:04
well they all that's the big question
8:06
of they all on want to say interchangeable
8:09
at this point right but or is the
8:11
answer that none of whom are safe
8:15
i mean derivatives but he cited a good deal so
8:18
good on defense and is he says
8:21
he's figured a shot out like love it solid
8:23
number two for because i think he's gonna get better
8:26
also
8:27
oh yeah i are both is it a floor and i
8:29
think that's way they did he is is that just
8:32
can be a good pc is a keep the
8:34
right to be in the championship contingency
8:37
sam like and danny
8:40
you're sitting there discussing the exact
8:42
point at which i
8:44
drew a line when i had my ring
8:48
anybody else can be moved
8:50
in my mind right luca
8:53
and i want the defense
8:58
the game all the stuff that dorian
9:00
finney smith is right after that
9:02
point
9:04
bring me offers right
9:07
okay i can i can see there and sooner
9:09
than reinforce how crazy this crazy this
9:11
were just of the western conference final right as luca
9:13
and friends got
9:16
there and whatever you bring your needs to be better than
9:18
dorian right
9:21
yes i know i know during
9:24
or to right now and this game but whatever
9:26
you're bringing integer casting people wait you
9:28
need to bring in an incredible second
9:30
banana for loop exactly flown
9:32
that's exactly right it's back when the mavericks
9:34
had michael finley as their
9:36
best player serve with wouldn't
9:39
go through this exercise efforts
9:41
over
9:43
the koreans gotta be the fourth or fifth best
9:45
player on the threats but the
9:47
i think you have you have guys cellos
9:49
that can be categorized and edge of t
9:51
j that if he's your second best
9:53
player you're probably not a championship
9:55
contending team we talk about third
9:57
or fourth oh heck yeah a low
10:00
the how that streaky score put up the
10:02
best i can fill it up when is there
10:04
it as the same with dinwiddie and
10:06
as the same would bow lot but yeah if you start
10:08
talking about okay if roof reworking
10:10
this roster , try
10:13
to make some moves besides
10:15
lucan during it's really smith i'm
10:17
with you know if you know pick up the
10:19
phone and say i talked to me
10:23
no let me let me see you mentioned
10:25
go bare there's another name
10:27
out there and
10:29
that's an eight who is unhappy
10:33
in phoenix and they apparently are
10:35
not about to max him out
10:38
now phoenix i have
10:40
my severe doubts is gonna feel
10:42
dallas but
10:44
, aden the type of player we're
10:46
looking at you would
10:48
love it is that right
10:52
i would totally love eight known as squad
10:55
about what you want is elevated a make it
10:57
better right
10:59
now let's go to the problem you guys
11:02
are brought up before they
11:04
, going to trade andriy eaten for
11:07
for jalen brunson please i'm not
11:09
knocking chill and brunson stopped
11:11
going to happen that's right so
11:14
the currency this so the to deals
11:17
like this draft choices the
11:19
mavericks in their currency frozen
11:21
i cannot deal a first round draft choice
11:24
till twenty twenty seven if
11:27
you're gentlemen if you make a
11:29
deal there's
11:30
a hell of a chance your fire before
11:32
that you know
11:35
that's true because they still owed new york
11:37
one proposing is right right
11:40
and it's a well they started like
11:43
as right right right
11:46
now i i i
11:48
am going to contend that it doesn't have to be
11:50
this name that's gonna wow us have
11:53
fit in to even make the seem
11:55
better not guess we can do a deep dive
11:57
and it is next week to start looking
11:59
at those
12:00
if to say okay because when
12:02
tyson chandler was traded here he
12:04
wasn't a wow this is what's gonna
12:06
make this a championship team it was
12:08
a perfect puzzle pieces fit
12:10
it's a what they're trying to do we
12:12
get it never bothered me that i think we can a man
12:15
rid of a we need a second superstar around
12:17
here and i don't think that's the case
12:20
i just think you need puzzle pieces that fit
12:22
because you can have you have a guy here that
12:25
can make everyone around
12:27
him
12:28
they're a make a maximize everything
12:30
get everything out of them that they can possibly
12:33
get you think we may be underestimating
12:35
how much value bronson in a sign and
12:37
trade might have to arrive
12:39
, some gems like that to
12:41
our guys that's what we need i think there
12:43
are a few tease out there that announce an ad
12:45
in a a so we may have some names or we're not even
12:47
considering that might suddenly pop up
12:50
as as being potential
12:52
of acquisition and norm there's
12:54
one team out there we all know that
12:56
just absolutely totally love
12:58
all david robinson
13:00
i was actually to but you're going to he uses
13:03
the knicks are yeah yeah i'm
13:05
going to get the next so just look it up their
13:07
roster and they can is there any one their
13:09
side a tray was that will move the needle
13:11
for you and just looking at the
13:13
roster right now gonna say no
13:18
yeah i mean you're very
13:20
worried about something you've
13:23
got called we want about the andre more not
13:26
get him
13:27
we can talk home we going to rudy rudy gobert
13:29
that's not happening besides we
13:32
just saw how to attack rudy go bare
13:34
we beat jazz in the playoff
13:36
series and a lot of teams
13:39
the way the way the mavericks play and
13:41
attack go bare that when he
13:44
doesn't have vs doesn't have
13:46
to be superstar
13:51
right now i'll ,
13:53
you this right now
13:55
lucas number one who's
13:58
number two on the sting
14:02
then we all agree as the of s for
14:07
but you know
14:09
now if you're talking about right now is presently
14:11
constructed if you give me jail and bronson
14:13
i think right now he's the number two
14:16
quotable player on this team i
14:19
think that was gonna be the priority to
14:21
resign him but if that's the case then
14:24
we are talking about just having
14:26
a name that's not gonna why you to bring
14:28
in to try man the middle and
14:30
get stronger rim protection
14:33
and stronger rebound really
14:35
go bears about to begin the second
14:37
year my have a five year
14:40
who hundred and five million dollar contract
14:42
that he sighs yeah last year
14:44

14:48
