00:00So, what I'm curious about with Anthony Davis is, I know he's like, hey, play the four,
00:20play the four, play the four.
00:23Does he space the floor?
00:25Nope.
00:26And see, and that's my concern because...
00:28He's going to have to play the five here for this year because of Derek Lively's injury.
00:32And because he's not been shooting the three well for a long time.
00:36So when the Lakers made the run to the title, his ability to shoot three-pointers was looking
00:41really good.
00:42Since then, you've seen a lot of degradation among his three-point shooting abilities.
00:48And so that's why I'm curious about putting him in that at the four.
00:51The Mavs have a short window here.
00:53They have two guys that are in their early thirties who have been number two players
00:57on really good teams.
01:00If they were to successfully win the championship, I'll give it a three-year window.
01:05We don't even know if Kyrie's going to be here, but I'm going to assume yes.
01:08They would change the game of basketball because this is not going to be a three-point shooting
01:12team.
01:13PJ Washington is not a good three-point shooter.
01:15Anthony Davis is a horrible three-point shooter.
01:17Your two centers don't shoot three-pointers at all.
01:19Kyrie is, Spencer Dinwiddie is an inconsistent three-point shooter at best.
01:25So you're hoping that the young guy you got in Max Christy keeps improving.
01:29He's only 21 or 22.
01:33He keeps improving as a three-point shooter.
01:35He was drafted as a three and D guy, but he hasn't proven to be like a consistent over
01:3940% three-point shooter.
01:41So if you win, it will be by driving to the basket, making shots around the basket and
01:47playing unbelievably great defense.
01:50That's your formula now.
01:51It's not about shooting the three.
01:53It's not about being, I don't know, a high volume three-point shooting team.
01:58You're going to be one of the lowest volume three-point shooting teams in the NBA.
02:02So this championship would come by not shooting threes very much and making a lot of twos
02:10and then playing unbelievably great defense.
