00:00tim when did it change we're talking with tim mcmahon here on uh 105.3 tim when do you think
00:20the evolution really began for patrick dumont like when the seeds were planted of okay maybe
00:25this isn't maybe this wasn't right and and when do you think it really accelerated
00:29i mean i think that he realized it last year and it was a rude awakening um and like let's just
00:38forget about even the basketball product right patrick dumont is a businessman the dude understands
00:45the bottom line and they were bleeding revenue last year just bleeding revenue forget the emotion
00:52you know forget the the outrage the anger the fact that you know ad got hurt again in his first
00:59game after rushing back by the way because there was a bunch of heat on nico all the stuff that went
01:04wrong on the floor he was sold on luka donchich being a terrible business investment we can't
01:12give this guy a supermax no way he's going to be worth it he came to realize you know not only was
01:20was luka a supermax player but the supermax was a great investment because luka is was what drove
01:28the business of the mavics i mean i know the sellout streak technically just in here in october first of
01:35all give me a break we all realize that was sure phony along but like dude you you looked around that
01:40arena last year attendance plummeted all the associated revenue that goes along with that you know the the
01:47the jersey sales you know the their tv subscription product i mean they were really tanking bleeding
01:54money getting the gift of cooper flag from the basketball gods or whatever conspiracy theory you
02:00might want to believe in that mitigated that some but when you sell your boss a businessman on this
02:08from a business perspective and it ends up being just like one of the worst financial decisions you could
02:14possibly make that's gonna that's gonna erode any trust and honestly nika nika should have been fired
02:22two days after last season
