Speaker 1 (00:04):
The Dallas Mavericks have added another roster spot. I believe
this is Dante Xem. Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
And now their salary for next year is just south
of the two hundred and six million dollar second Apron.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, it's not counting the uh they from what Bobby
Marks reported earlier before the Dante ExHAM addition. And again
all of this isn't will be finalized. I believe July
sixth is when they can sign all of the pens today.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
After Sunday Monday morning and send to paper.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
That's when all of these agreed contracts can can become official.
But Bobby Marks tweeted out that before this Dante Exhem signing,
the Mavericks are one point six million dollars away from
being at the second apron. But yet you didn't want
to pay Luca I'm again and Andy Nico Harrison went rogue.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
No, he did not, I can I can't understand it.
There is no way Nico Harrison did that without the
blessing and the actual consent of that ownership group. There's
no way.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So you didn't want to give Luka Doncic a max
contract of four or five years for two hundred and
seventy million dollars, but you're perfectly fine with the potential
of maybe paying half a billion dollars in luxury tax.
Sure makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's not what makes sense. And they can print money
in their casino. They're fine with. They got all the
money in the world. What they don't have is they
don't want a lazy beer drinking guy that sits around
and complains about injury and load manages. At three hundred
and forty five million dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, I'm going to another guy who's who's not going
to say lazy, but looks in maybe the same shape
as one Luka doncic Ko. Man, I mean, have you
ever watched Nicole? The dude plays like forty five minutes
a night.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He plays in slow motion most of the game, but
it's still effect.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I love I love Nikola Jokic, but that dude looks
like he's about to have a heart attack after like
two minutes when he's what lumbering up? I'm like, how
is that dude not dead yet? Man? But I also
saw this as well. We didn't really talk about this
a couple of weeks ago. I don't I can't remember
the guy's name, but we Uh, the Spurs added one
(02:32):
of the mavericks former assistant coaches. I believe his last
name is Sweeney. I think it's Sean Sweeney. I'm probably
one hundred percent wrong. Shane fact checked me on that one,
but I did see that the uh, the Dallas Mavericks
are going to be adding former NBA champion head coach
and longtime head coach Frank Fogel. I believe he is
(02:55):
going to join that roster as well. So if Jason
Kidd decides to, uh, you know, say goodbye, they can
go to Frank Boe. Well.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I don't think he's saying goodbye. I think guys like
Jason Kidd have a very secure place they're they're not
threatened by who is on their staff. And if somebody
can help me with an idea to win, uh, then
I'm going to listen to them. And uh, I know
coaches that have worked with Jason Kidd before, and he's
not my way or the highway guy. I don't know
(03:25):
if he learned that from Pop or not, but Pop
has never been one when he was coaching that was
the Uh. Whatever I say we're gonna do is what
we're gonna do. He wanted people to challenge him. He
did not want yes men around him.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
When when did Jason Kidd would have ever learned that
from Pop?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well, I don't know, just just by being in the league.
Are just a listening and not not that he coached with.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Pop maybe on the Olympic team, not when Pop was
the coach, but like an assistant, but just just.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
The fact that there's there's there's people out there that
have very much insecurity. So when an assistant coach comes
up with an idea, well, we're not doing that because
that wasn't my idea and I don't want you taking
my job. If Jason Kidd never works another game in
his life, he doesn't have to worry about it, and
he probably doesn't care if if he has to move on,
somebody else is going to hire him. He's got he's
(04:12):
got lifetime exemption to whatever he wants to do in
the NBA.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
James Dolan can fire Mike Brown ten games in and
now go get Jason Kidd.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
At that point, well, if Jason's not there yet, not there, Yeah,
if Jason's under contract, he can't.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Shawn Sweeney. By the way, Shawn Sweeney, I knew it
was something to say.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So but so, I think when you bring in a
Frank Vogel and the Mavericks have three hundred coaches, it
seems like on their staff. It's not because Jason's concerned
about him taking his job. He just wants another voice
that can maybe help the team win
