Speaker 2 (01:53):
But right now it's time for this track. Another edition
of things is tracking all right.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Did you guys see the article this morning that things
are so good for the Mavericks in the last three
days that they're looking for new, bigger places to host
their draft party?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Good for them.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, everything's changed, everything's changed, And just coincidentally, this was
already planned. They have their season ticket pick a Seat
night where you go to the American Airline Center and
you pick seats. So since the I may I don't
have the numbers in front of me, I may have
it wrong. But since two Monday Night happened, sales for
(02:39):
season tickets have gone through the roof.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Let's go. Now there's a wait list, so love it.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Also corporate sponsorship opportunities through the roof.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Like it's happened in three days. The interest is there.
Why wouldn't it be. Now you've got, you know, this
iconic phenom. Who you're gonna get the number one pick
in a year where it's undisputed who the number one
pick is.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I mean, it's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Our buddy Kirk Anderson over at MAVs Moneyball had a
draft expert on and he was talking about basically Cooper
Flag and just talking about him being the kind of
person that you build your entire defense around. Now, Cooper
Flag is basically he's six' eight, barefoot And i'm sitting there, Going,
god this sounds Like. Draymond Like draymond is the shortest
(03:30):
Person i've ever seen a team build their entire defense.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Around and it's. Amazing what do you mean they build?
Around they Build he's.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
The smartest defensive. Player all of their rotations are based
on What draymond is, doing what he's, sealing and where
he's sending people because he Is he's not a seven
foot guy block in, shots but he's just such a
unique defensive. Presence he orchestrates everything they're talking. About Cooper
flagg is that kind of a defensive? Mind were you
saying that When kai is, out do you see him
(03:58):
initiating offense and being used in that? Way that's WHAT
i started to think is going to happen because of
the Way Jason kidd Utilized. Giannis Jason kidd's the guy
who Turned yiannis into a point guard and point. Forward
whatever you want to call, Him and SO i kind
of put that out, there AND i was, LIKE i
don't know what's going to.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
HAPPEN i haven't talking him out over, there BUT i
do Know jason kids.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
BACKGROUND i do know that he chose to Play Nause
marshall at point guard instead of having certain point. Guards
And i'm, like if you did Start cooper flag And
i'm not saying he's a full time point guard, now
it's a huge, responsibility BUT i do think that you
can run the offense through him and other people simultaneously
(04:42):
Until kai comes. Back When kai comes, Back kai is
your point, guard and then he becomes a secondary, distributor,
Right BUT i think he can get you through by
playing him in the back court and PLAYING.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Pj Washington junior.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Too but there are several reports that they're looking for
a point. Guard and if you go and you look
at some veterans that you know could be, available you,
KNOW i, MEAN i think they will add a point.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Guard give.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Me you have to predict their starting lineup right now
for the first, game and then who's the sixth man starting.
FIVE i predicted it's going to Be Derek, Lively Anthony,
DAVIS Pj, Washington Cooper, flag And Klay. Thompson what that's
WHAT i think their starting lineup is going to be
in the First.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
