Big Wos of Ringer fame is here to break down what the hell compelled the Mavericks to trade away an MVP level player entering his prime. We get into why Mavs GM Nico Harrison may have done the unthinkable, and whether there are genuine concerns about the Lakers’ new franchise guy. A fine conversation with our favorite bon vivant.
Topics include but aren’t limited to…
* Could history ever validate this decision?
* Apparently I’ve joined the conventional wisdom in hating Adam Schefter’s tweet about the trade
* Are we now secretly rooting for Nico Harrison to somehow win this bad trade?
* Were there cultural tensions between Nico and Luka?
* Why was Nico perhaps ill suited for taking over the reins from Cuban
* How much it annoys GMs when a player gets FAT
* Why is Luka getting fat
* Luka and…beer?
* The issue with Nico being schooled in the Mamba Mentality
* Luka is Zion Williamson with results
* Did the Mavs make a “win now” move?
* Media squeamishness around discussing the DEI issue
* How do we feel about A'ja Wilson’s sneaker release?
