Speaker 1

On this episode of the Heat Check. The playoffs are in full swing. We've got a rivalry, well, we've got the rivalry continuing between Damian Willard and Tyrese Halliburton. Yikes, the Grizz. Everybody was like, oh the Grizzle. How was it gonna be? They lose by fifty one. Okay, see what happened to Okay, see not being dangerous. Hope remains eternal in Memphis. I then give my final take. I'm done. This is the moment. I'm done talking about MVP. But

I have my final conclusion after game one. I reserve my right to change my mind, but I'm not gonna And some news from around the league along with kind of what we had happened in some of these game ones by your Self segment on how we're feeling about some of these underdog teams. They got their ass full so much to talk about, Why so drop that motherfucking beat. This should be Rihanna. You're listening to The Hottest, The Hottest. It'd be a podcast out here. I said what I said.

It's the segment one is getting spicy, That's what it is, cooking up in the kitchen, cooking up in the kitchen. You know what's cooking up? Dame versus Halliburton. The Pacers one of the sneaky, hottest teams post All Star Break. You know what everybody's like, are they for real? We got Yannis? No Dame. Dame's on the bench with his DVT. He's coming back though he's coming back anyways, was like, oh, they got y honest, he's third and he stirred in

MVP voting. They've got all these other role players. I don't even know the role players, honestly, Gary Trent Junior, Kevin Porter Junior, What you doing there, baby, Kyle Kuzma. We'll talk about that in a second. Anyway, The Pacers, who are deeper than the corn bread in my pan, they came out blaze. I don't even have an algorithm, don't I don't have an analogy for it. Anyway, they came out blaze and stop laughing at me. Up twenty three at halftime, the Pacers did coasted from there. It

was really never a game. Pascal Siakam was in his bag. He had twenty five, seven and two, Jannis had thirty six, twelve and one. But the real star story here, really the real story is that the starters torched Milwaukee starter starters seventy five or seventy eight to fifty and Kyle Kuzma, who you traded for in the deadline, the trade deadline to be some sort of I don't know, panacea for this fucking terrible trash hazz team. He's on the Bucks now, yes,

not on the Wizards and not on the Lakers. He is a playoff club trillion and if you don't know what a club trillion, and it is zero across the board, and for somebody who played over twenty minutes, it's hard to do. What did Doc Rivers say? Kyle Kuzma just needed more touches? That was what it was. Doc Rivers always be on some bullshit. So we get to the drama, because that's really what this is about. Because the Bucks

are dead. Can we just say the Bucks, I don't care when Dame's coming back, Damon game two, damon game four, Dame put up fifty nifty, he'd be thrifty pacers and five. That's just what I'm trying to say, you know what I mean. Anyway, So we get to the drama. Because the Bucks are dead. They're headed for a full repuild in my opinion, late in the fourth quarter, both teams including coaches, got into it at half court because they don't really like each other at all. There was a

simmering beef. Remember Tyrese Halliburton was doing the Dame time and then Dame was like, oh yeah, it was so flattering, and then Dame was like, actually, I'm not cool with this. I fucking I don't like it. Pisses me the fuck off. I don't like that, and in fact I got something for that ass basically. And then remember Jannis Jonas. Remember Yannis dropped sixty four on Indiana and the Pacer staffer

tried to steal the game ball. I think it was the ref really, and then they elbowed the GM in the ribcage and he had a bruise rib all because the Pacers wanted to give the game ball to the rookie Oscar to sheb Way for his first in game of like bucket. But also I think it was the first time he actually played NBA minutes and there's just some mini melee. Jannis looked like a fucking madman had to be restrained. That was how weird it was. James Johnson was like, yo, do I need to kill someone?

So this is not basketball, it's layered, it's petty, and it's on. So any way, back to game one, So Dam in street clothes for who knows why, chripping from the bench. Haliburton's talking back. At one point the cameras caught game saying, keep talking and I'll drop a track on your ass. I don't know, Dame, it's getting it's getting a little late early on for you. Like the

credibility for Dames taking a hit. I really have to say, the cool factor, of the credibility factor, of the respect factor, all of it has taken a big fall off since going to Milwaukee, probably because you're just in Milwaukee, you know where it's just cheese. Anyway, it would have been hit a lot harder if he wasn't in his Louis Vuitton yacht rock sweater from the bench, not in a jersey. We don't know when he's gonna come back. Halliburton says, what we all know, Hey, you guys fucking suck. You

guys suck, and he and Dame's like, we suck. We'll see all beats your ass. It's like, well, we're not talking about you. Beating my ass, Dame. We're talking about you guys are fucking trash and we're the Pacers and we're beating that ass. And Siakam, who I love, is like, why is he talking his ass on the bench? Hell ass? And how it's time to get them the fuck up

out of there. Dame gets hit with a tech in street clothes, doing more damage to the team than Kyle Kuzma, who had the club trillion Dame's back for Game two. Bucks are looking very shaky. They need a course correction. I don't know how you get more out of the honest. These guys are bums. These guys on this Bucks team are bums. Outside of Dame. I've got thoughts where Dame should go. But it's Milwaukee's teetering on the edge of a full on rebuild. New coach, gotta have it, aging

roster that needs to get selected and fixed. Giannis has already been talking about leaving for five years now. Damian Lillard never wanted to be there in the first place. The clock on Dame time is ticking tick tick tick tick tick. I don't I don't know. I'm just saying we might be headed for a kaboom all right, make it make sense. We gotta have a segment where we gotta make it make sense, because it's not maken sense. What didn't make sense this weekend was Memphis losing by

fifty five zero to the Oklahoma City thunder. Who would have thought? Who would have thought it? Who would have saw it coming? Firing your coach nine games left, including your entire coaching staff. Also, and the worst who would have thought I would have lead led to the one of the worst performances in modern memory. And also Brian Windhorst said right before the playoffs, he said he's hearing teams in the West aren't afraid of Okay, see so not afraid. They're like, we'll roll out a guy we've

never seen coach before. I don't even know who the coach is. If if it was a million dollars on the line, or actually, more importantly, if someone said, for your beating heart, you have to say who the Memphis Grizzly's interim head coaches. I know, it's like foreign, It's like jacquem It's like jamiro Kui or something. But I don't know him and I don't know anything about him other than he's getting paid a lot of money to

usurp Taylor Jenkins. Anyway, that's how little they respected Oka, see, because they knew they were probably gonna be an eight seed. And guess what belt to ass a beatdown one thirty one to eighty And I don't even think the game was that close. Do you remember when Okase lost by a good jillion to Memphis. This is a full circle moment, folks. This is what we see the fall of Rome and

the birth of Rome simultaneously. One of the most comprehensive playoff beatdowns in league history comes after the shock firing of their coach less than two weeks ago. Memphis is weird. They can look great. They're capability of also getting embarrassed sometimes in the same game. Can I also be honest? Can I be honest? Jaron Jackson fucking sucks? Okay, He's not good. And I don't mean like, oh, he can't play basketball good because he obviously can. He's a pro

basketball He's not worth sixty MS a year. What did Jaron Jackson have I'll find out. I know it wasn't good. He was two for thirteen. This is your god, this is your king. Anyway, the numbers were sickening, sickening. Okay. Se had nine players with a net rating of plus seventeen or better. All five starters were over a plus twenty one. These are nerd stats, but they're all really good ones. Jalen Williams, he was a plus forty four.

He's most improved player to me. And they only shot fifty percent from the field in thirty five percent from three. It wasn't even like they got hot. They just fucking beat your ass down, made you hold your ankles and take it like you had your first month in jail, smothering, unrelenting and making you say thank you Jesus Christ. It was that bad. Memphis got locked their ass up. What they do to jaw in one three minute stretch Lou

dort on jaw dorcher chamber. Alex Caruso, who I think they've been putting in a hyperbaric chamber just for this moment. He had some stretches on jaw. Casein Wallace, very underrated defender on jaw, just one after the other, unre unrelenting, like prison, unrelenting. Jaw finished with seventeen six for seventeen shooting. Ok See, these defensive numbers are sickening eight blocks, twelve steals and twenty two turnovers they forced. Yikes, we already

talked about Jared Jackson's track. Sha has Scottie Pippen Junior, who, let's be honest, is playing well for Memphis, but before Memphis wasn't a factor. One for nine Desmond Bain, who I told you last episode or two episodes ago, he's gonna have trouble. He's gonna have trouble with all that length. And guess what, three for twelve he was in nearly a minus fifty one in a net rating, which is

a crazy number. Okase held Memphis to thirty percent from the field from the field and ten percent from three and all of that, and Shae didn't do shit. She didn't even do anything. Shaye was four for thirteen, one of seven for three, didn't even have a steal for the first time in a month. No steal didn't matter. Thunder, We're rolling. And that's how you know this is a team you don't want to see. Okay, if you see okay, see it better be the last team you see in

the West, otherwise you're having issues. We'll talk about jaw laughing real quick, because I don't really care that much about it. I like Jaws energy job, by the way, real quick fire ass new shoes that he had not the time to wear them, probably, but they were great. So John Morant was seen laughing down fifty way. Sometimes it's that bad you have to just laugh steven A. Of course he had things to say, y'all down fifty and you on the bench laughing in a playoff game. Nah,

I don't want to see that. I don't think anybody in Memphis want to see that. People don't want to see you laughing. Listen. At least he didn't pull out a gun. Shit. I mean, at least he didn't start a fight with his dad and his best friend and didn't threaten to shoot the other team, because that happened once. Anyway, here's the thing. Memphis isn't that bad, but Okaysee is that good. Can Memphis play good enough to cut it

from fifty to ten? Sure? Can they play good enough to stop okay See and also score enough to beat Oka See and steal a game? I don't know if I would even bet on it. And the thing that's hilarious is reddit reddit the Delulu from Grizzlies Reddit is so intense and so severe that they've completely unplugged from reality. The top thread read the game was nothing but psychological warfare.

The main goal was to humiliate SGA, which was a success mentally weakened SGA in an overconfident okase, Memphis and six wow wow. Also, half the fan base wants Marvin Bagley Junior to start game two because he went for eight for eight in garbage time down fifty congratulations. Okase, he's a problem and Memphis fans, you guys also have problems, many, many, many. All right, let's move on. Let's do a little speaking of the case. We gotta do a little breakdown here.

I got thoughts. We gotta talk about this MVP race after game one. I'm ready to admit it. There's been a lot of vascillation. There's been a lot of confusion, there's been a lot of thinking. Can I give it to both players? They're both playing phenomenal. So have you ever said something out loud that you didn't really your heart didn't really like align with? You know where it's like, hey, Tristan, what would you like for dinner? And you're like a salad And in your heart it's like pizza. You know,

that's the MVP raice. For me, it's like Tristan, who do you think should win MVP? And my my word say Sga, and my heart says Jokic. That's what it's been because I'm like, you know, you gotta give it to SG. I've been wanting to win it for years. He's incredible. Okay, Se, he's incredible. They've won sixty eight games. But like what we're seeing from Yogic is nuts. I don't know that I thought I would say it out loud. I thought I was just gonna die with this. You know,

all season long, I've been torn. Shay's been great. Jokic though, it's like Shay is a part of the system. Sha is Shae's the pilot on the plane, and Jokic is the plane. You know what I mean, yok Like, you don't fly without the plane, regardless if you have a pilot or not. That's Jokic. I'm starting to feel like there is nothing in Denver if this man's not on the floor. So let's take talk about the Nuggets Clippers game. So Denver comes out horrific, right, Like the Clippers are

full strength? Why's playing great? Harden's playing great. They're hitting everything. They'roughout fifteen early and you kind of know, like this is what Denver does, right, They do the ropid ope thing where they just kind of like let their asket beat until three minutes left in the fourth quarter and then like you can't get anything going, can't get anything going, and it can't get they can't make an open shot, and then they hit the most contested shots you've ever

seen in your life. Jokic, of course, unbothered by that. By the time the dust settled, Yokic had twenty nine twelve assists, nine rebounds eleven for twenty two from the field played forty six minutes in ot nuggets were plus ten when he was on the floor, negative seven when he sat. I mean, when Yokich is not there, there is nothing there. Movement stops, team confused, Like Peyton Watson, what is he doing? He looks like a kid. And when Yokis is there, he's not the star. He's the system.

He's the plane. He's the reason that Aaron Gordon is getting lobs. He's the reason why MPJ is Michael Porter Junior, not mid Yoga Porter Junior. He's getting easy three point looks. He's the way reason that you can have You can get rid of all these role players and still be okay and still win. Let's talk about Shay. Shay had nothing to do with that Memphis win, like you had nothing to do with it. He had fifteen five and three. He chilled, feet were feet were in ice packs by

the third quarter. He didn't have to do shit. The Thunder won by fifty one, and he had fifteen points share. Of course, does his thing sets the tone, sets everybody up, get them where they need to be. But do you think if Shay was benched for the second half, they would not have won that game handily? They would have That's how good this team is. Jayla Williams, chet Kaseon Wallace, loudrt Alice Cruzo, motherfucking all these other role players. I'm

not remembering the Aaron Wiggins. You know, Shaite is elite. He's a top five player in the league. The Thunder team of a lot of elite players. They can dominate without him doing almost anything at all. But Denver, this is a lottery team without Jokic. This this is a team that just is unrecognizable when Yogic is not on the floor. He solves the Rubik's Cube in real time like a master orchestrator and puts everyone in position, has eyes on the side of his fucking head, turns Russell

Westbrook into a chaos machine. He makes some game saving and game finishing and game ending for them shots, all in the last thirty seconds. But at the end of the day, it's just yoga yoga, yoga jo yoga. And also like he's the best. He's also the best period maybe in the last decade. I've never seen anything like it. And he looks like he should be at the YMCA behind the desk checking people in. So like the MVP, to me, it's about, oh, really, who is the most valuable?

And Shay should win it. Not this year, but he should win it. It's about who holds it together, you know, who has to be great for their team to succeed. Who's truthfully irreplaceable if they go down with a season ending injury. Do you fucking collapse or do you continue? Shay's been amazing, But the answer right now is only Jokich And he's a two way threat. He really is.

He's more of a two waight threat than people are giving him credit for Denver down fifteen against the legit team, and Jokic was dragging their asses all the way back and control the entire time. That's fucking my MVP. That's fucking my MVP. Let's do a little buy or sell, shall we Let's do a little transition sound s. Let's start with the Lakers. Hmmm. Lakers hmm had a home court advantage against the team no one wanted to win. No one was rooting for Minnesota in the national media.

Am I buying or selling what happened? Am I buying here selling the Lakers? Period? I think I'm leaning sell. Game one was close for a second and then I shut my eyes for two seconds and I opened them up, and it was It was a massacre. It was so bad. It was like, oh, maybe maybe the Lakers get swept by everyone. Maybe they don't just get swept by the Nunnets. Maybe they get swept by any super physical team with a guy who can just take over games like this

could be a broom situation. Minnesota came in, took out the crowd early, and bullied LA on their own floor. It got so bad that the fans were heckling Aunt Edwards and aunt Edwards not only had to tell him how many millions of dollars that Rudy Gobert has in his pocket, which apparently is three hundred million, he also said, and also, my Dick's bigger than yours. Okay, well, that's

the kind of energy we had in Game one. They survived the Lakers opening push, they dropped thirty eight to twenty in the second quarter, and they never look bad. Final score one seventeen ninety five. Away from the crib, Away from the crib, love nos Reid. We gotta give him some some props. I told you guys about those two bigs, I said, Lakers so heavy sus hell? Are they gonna keep up with these boys? Naz Reid twenty three five with two dimes, looked like the most confident

player on the floor. Off the bench. Defensively, he was everywhere, hedging, recovering, bothering shots. If nas Reed is your pro off the pine, there's larger issues afoot. And then Luke, of course, he got his because that's what he does against the Minnesota Timberwolves thirty seven and eight, thirty seven, eight and two steals. The rest of the Lakers were no you know who got strapped. I told you Austin Reez got strapped. He

was nowhere, ruey Hachi Mura nowhere. Centers combined for five points. Five points. I mean, I think they have one center, but they combined for five points. If you if you allow to get bullied by a man Mike Conley who's basically older than Lebron James in Dog Ears, and you're getting less scoring from your entire front court than Mike Conley gave the Wolves, you got really fucking bad problems. And I knew this was gonna go down when all

ten ESPN personalities picked the Lakers. This is not the Timberwolves. You thought. You knew they're battle tested. They made the Western Conference Finals, they beat the defending champs. Aunt Edwards's building confidence played with Kevin Durant in the offseason in Paris. I think he took all of Kevin Durant's powers while he was with them, and he didn't even have to go nuclear. Two twenty two points, eight rebounds, and nine assists.

That is what growth looks like. I told you thirty seven year old Mike Conley coffin dust, just sprinting back on defense to cut off Lebron fast breaks. This is Minnesota's warning shot. We're not fucking scared of the Lakers. We're not starstruck. We're here to end dynasties. That's what we're here to do. And I tried to tell you these boys were two damn big two damn long pause.

Jay McDaniel's six', Nine nasrit six,' Nine julius randall, Sixty Nine Nikale alexander walker six five and, sixty five with the bounds of. The kangaroo they are fucking. You UP so la has to figure this out Quick because minnesota their. Best game they just, outworked them, outgrotted them, outsized them and, they're deeper they're, more athletic and they're. Fully healthy so this series could be over in five or it could be over in four if they don't get some production

real quick from a guy Named. Not Luca so, I'm selling. I'm selling let's talk About the rockets And. The warriors somebody got Exposed The. Houston rockets so all season you know that there's teams that like are good regular, season teams and then there's like teams you don't really, believe in like they were like They're. Not utah But remember utah when they put up sixty game sixty wins and, we're,

like okay. That's cute. You Know the rockets were winning so many games where it's like seventy six to, sixty eight, you know and, YOU'RE like i wonder how you can do this against the best offenses in the league on a night, tonight basis for seven games at a time for. Two months you guys. Can't score you Guys are It's like saran rap is over the rim and, THEY'RE like i wonder What Are Fred van fleet's gonna return back to who he Was. In, toronto yeah it was a

fascinating game. To watch it WAS so i thought this game would be, more, FUN right i thought it would be more fun. To watch it was fascinating though. It Was steve curse said it was like playing in, the nineties, low scoring. Super Physical golden state was on Them like White, on rice that. Finesse team, they say you want to go back to, the, nineties brother we. Got You jimmy butler was Like. The bruiser they go up Twenty and, i'm,

like okay maybe it's time to turn. It off but it did get to a one possession game with six minutes, to go actually even less than You Had steph, curry though and You Had jimmy, Butler Though And steph curry he's just. Not real he's just an. Unrealistic player he's a. Video game but it wasn't really All About. STEPH curR i mean he was gonna. Do that he wasn't gonna give you. Three points He torches houston in. The Playoffs james harden's entire legacy is tainted Because Of steph curry

playing him in. The playoffs he Slayed Every chris Paul And, russell westbrook all that done dead gone because. Of him houston's got a, nasty OFFENSE and i don't, MEAN good i mean, it's nasty like hard. To watch it was their lowest scoring game of, the season and that's hard to do for a team that scores like seventy eight points. Per game they shot twenty percent, from three and that's like close to, their average that had, seventeen turnovers that

had four. Fast breakpoints they just couldn't get any. Easy buckets and for a team that struggles to put the ball inside, the hoop you need as many easy buckets as you could get and they weren't earning any tough. Buckets either let's talk about. The backcourt Fred van fleet, was brutal zero rhythm to the point where, you're like if this is your if these are your. Starting guards we got some conversations To have fred Van fet fleet two for thirteen From Deep, jalen Green who i'm not a.

Believer in he's, a bucket he's. A bucky he's, a bucket but he's not a. Winning player and we saw it three for fifteen from, the field all for four, from three but more so, just brutal brutal possessions where you look at them and, you're like That's The. JAYALEN green, i know, you know like That's The. Jayalen green i'm accustomed to dribble, into traffic chuck it off the backboard five seconds into the. Shot clock, Together him Fred van

fleet shot seven for. Thirty four your guards shot seven for. Thirty four it could have, been Worse But alpern shangun was electric. Fucking Incredible so steph WAS like, I said steph. Was insane he had thirty, one points but they only had, ninety five so it was he had thirty percent of all the. Team's points And Then jimmy butler had an awesome. Game too he had twenty five, seven board, six assists. Five steals you're talking he had the game ceiling Strip

on shangoon. As WELL so, i mean we're talking about fifty six points on sixty three percent shooting and the Rest Of golden state didn't even need to. Do anything this, is why this is why you Traded For. JIMMY butler i Appreciate that houston had some fight though momentum. Was gone they're, down fifteen they cut the three in the, fourth quarter crowd was, going crazy and then, You know steph just takes, your, soul steals goes dagger after dagger.

After DAGGER am i buying or Selling? The rockets it's just the. Same problem we knew they were. Horrible offensively they just. Cannot shoot this is not a team you really want to not shoot. Well, against Honestly The houston rockets to Play The Golden state warriors the last time, they playoffs they were awesome shooting and they still got their ass, fucking home Gone to cantcoon in. Seven GAMES so i don't think you figure it out Against The Golden.

State WARRIORS and i said this. Last Time If golden state can Get, past houston now you got the path TO play okc In The Western, conference finals and at that point all bets. Are off game two is Everything. For houston you guys better figure, it out otherwise you're headed for a sweep and probably multiple players. Getting traded let's talk About the pistons, really quick. Cautiously selling game one was theirs for, the taking and they got hit with a twenty one to. Zero run the Environment At

Madison square garden. Was incredible that five minute stretch to the fourth quarter was probably one of The worst i've ever seen in recent. Playoff memory just, a meltdown but they dipped a lot of. Things right cade, was horrible and they still were. Right There Tim hardaway junior. Played Well dennis shooter had. His Moments mike beasley had, His Moments Not. Mike Beasley malik Beasley Had Mike beasley's who's playing one on One With. Lance stevenson that's what. That Is.

Malik beasley he played. Really Well tobias harris played. Really well so you had a Lot of pistons that stepped up on, the road which. Is huge but they did have twenty one turnovers and in the playoff. That's Ballgame jalen brunson turned Into, playoff kyrie which is what he fucking does because he's. A ballhog campaign hit eleven of his fourteen points in the, fourth quarter just swap after swap. After swap ever swap so final Calls selling lakers size

mids matches. Too much rockets they Cannot. Score pistons i'm hopeful for. THEIR future i could see this one going more of the distance than the. Other two and then, moving on let's go some quick news around. The league So The warrior still game WENT as, i said but for the second time in, A Row JONATHAN kaminga dnp did. Not play. Coach's decision if you're Not Playing jonathan kaminga against A physical rockets team against the, two seed you're

probably not playing them. At all According To, mark Stein, the nets, oh My the nets are the most likely landing spot. This summer they've got forty ms in. Cap space otherwise it's going to have to be a multi team sign. And trade oh. My god, Bottom line cominga's Days In golden state Are probably he probably never suits up in a. Game again, all right, moving on can we bring BACK THE Ibm? Mvp AWARD The nba award finalists, are out will break those down later, this week but,

for now can we bring BACK The? IBM award i don't know if you guys remember that was a. REAL thing ibm nineteen, eighty four two thousand. AND two ibm gave out a FORMULA based mvp to the most statistically. Impactful player guess who you think would win that award? This year probably. Every year, you know they Tell like jokic would benefit from just a math DRIVEN analytics, Mvp network like numbers, don't lie but people lie like That's,

that's jokic? All right moving on another news little bite that. Came out So The dallas mavericks. Are eliminated as, you saw they got fucking their asses handed to them in the. PLAY in i didn't even mention that because it's happened multiple. Days Ago the mavericks are still. Doing gumbshit the owners mad AT Their Gm. Nico harrison so some media people were wanting to be messy and stir up, the pot which. Is crazy it's delicious grown men being messy with other.

Grown men and, someone, Said, hey clay do you regret Signing. In dallas if you would have known how it would, have gone do you think you would have still done on the? Same Thing and, clay's like don't, do that don't do this, to me that's a. RIDICULOUS question i don't own a. Time machine i'm looking forward to. The, future yeah you're. Being messy don't. Be messy, SO No i clay's not looking for. The door he's looking to. Get paid he's still gonna Play with Kyrie And. Anthony

davis what other situation is he gonna? Go to just take your tax free state income and get the hell Out. Of dodge but you can tell the vibes clearly. Not, great also quick Note From. San Antonio greg popovich collapsed at a restaurant. Last week we give big prayers out Up to i'm not big, prayer person but we give Prayers To. Greg popovich he's, now, home. Stable recovering no cause has been made, public yet obviously he suffered a

stroke earlier. This season we're setting pop all the love and, full recovery but probably we need to have a conversation if someone's gonna. Take Over greg popovic's head coach Of The San, antonio spurs because it's kind of a big deal considering that, the face maybe the face of, the league is playing on his team. All right, and lastly wouldn't be a pod Without a. Luca update this week.

More chaos luca gave his first Interview To maliky andrews and said that when he found out he, was traded he was so pissy through his phone and, broke it showed it. To hers he's still. Using it what. A guy tim McMahon HAD an espn piece that said that the trade Happened because LUCA And Gm nico harrison's relationship, fell apart Mostly over Nico Firing, casey smith who Was Also dirk, novitzky's guy and pushed out anyone who disagreed.

With Him Tim Cato's Dallas morning news Article Said MAVs Governor governor PATRICK, dumont akaa the owner is Furious that nico didn't warn them how badly the fan base would Take the. Luca trade this is how, you Know these patsy's haven't watched a lick. Of basketball, they're, like, oh yeah this, Like white this white kid with the number seventy seven probably won't be.
