00:00More tough injury news yesterday for Dallas Kyrie Irving out for the remainder of this season after suffering a torn

00:07ACL earlier this week when you think about being a Dallas Mavericks fan in the last month

00:14It has been pretty brutal

00:17But when you look at the actual basketball team Fonseca, they have lost Luka Doncic, of course in the deal

00:23We'll get to the timeline of events in just a moment

00:26Anthony Davis injured his status in his return

00:29Uncertain Kyrie Irving now out for the remainder of this year when the Luka Doncic deal happened

00:34Nico Harrison tried to position it as the Mavericks were still in win now mode with the injury to Kyrie Irving Fonseca

00:41Can the Mavericks even be a postseason team at this juncture?

00:45Huh? Well and looking at the Western Conference

00:48I mean somehow the Clippers

00:50Blew last night's game to the Suns which actually matters a lot as it pertains to this conversation because now the Suns

00:56Get another game on Dallas Mavericks of three games behind them now for that last play in spot

01:01You're the Dallas Mavericks right now

01:03You're looking at an injury report that includes Kyrie Irving now who's done for the year Anthony Davis who we don't know if he's gonna

01:09Be back and I assume if they're gonna shut him down for good

01:12Which some surrounding has reported that he's gonna be done

01:15Derek Lively was doubtful to come back to season

01:18Anyway, Daniel Gafford's been out Jaden Hardy's out PJ Washington's out at Dante Exum's out Caleb Martin who they traded for is out

01:26They traded Quinn Grimes for like you just go up and down the list

01:31Who are you gonna play out there?

01:33Like you would think you would think Jaden Hardy would be somebody they lean on post Kyrie Irving and he's even Alan Jaden Hardy

01:39He's not even that good

01:41No disrespect

01:42so I don't know like as somebody who somebody who had their over a preseason as a lot of people did because

01:48How could you not like this team coming into the year?

01:50They were snake bit before they traded Luka Donchik Luka Donchik was hurt for a period of time

01:55And he was hurt when they traded him

01:57So it's just one of those years season from hell in Dallas and the fans are really getting the worst of it

02:04The fans who spend money to really support this team and previously support Luka Donchik

02:10So now this iteration of the team, which I actually think healthy like this is a good

02:14Playoff roster that could wait a series that can do some things that can play both sides of the floor

02:19But you have nobody out there. So Dallas is pretty screwed at this point
