00:00Luka Doncic does it again another 40 piece this is uh this is three straight games with 40 he's
00:06the last 13 games which is right around the time he spoke to Dave McMenamin or whoever he spoke to
00:12at ESPN about his family situation he is averaging 40 points per game over the last 13 and he just
00:18went again 40 points per game over the last 13 games and he went the last entire month of March
00:25he went the entire month of March with he didn't have a single game where he made fewer than 10
00:29shots and I was like oh doesn't he make 10 shots every game but then you read off some nine
00:34nine
00:35seven eight yeah you know he'll have a game in there where he shoots nine for 23 like we remember
00:40he used to have random games like that and so for it to go an entire month where he makes
00:4410 shots
00:44minimum that's ridiculous he had more points this is from underdog by the way underdog for all your
00:50plays but they're a great sports update app as well with all the alerts and breaking news Luka had more
00:57points in the month of March than Anthony Davis had his entire time no 600 to 587 in the month
01:07of March
01:08he outscored AD's Maverick career it's a forgettable career 587 yeah but you know we don't you know we
01:15don't need the defense we don't need his defensive uh you know lack of lackadaisical ability out there
01:22you saw uh you saw Rachel Nichols yesterday same sort of thing she's gonna be included on Friday
01:29but yeah Rachel Nichols going like I refuse to vote for Luka for MVP you gotta play both sides of
01:34the ball
01:34I want all her past MVP votes yeah I want all her past MVP votes I want to know if
01:40she voted for Nash over
01:41Shaq I want to know she voted for Steph I want to know how many times she voted for someone
01:47who was not
01:48known for or did not play defense uh because her and Mannix they've they've kind of been attacking
01:53Luka a little bit a lot of people man as soon as that league-wide attack came out on him
01:59yeah he he hit the switch oh yeah oh yeah rage it took it took a lot it took it
02:05took a lot you know
02:06you had you had to get into LA you know that that was kicking the pants number one and then
02:11the entire
02:12national outrage even the Laker outrage of you know like just getting upset with him uh and then you had
02:18the national and now it's clicked Mavericks by the way gets smoked by Milwaukee in Milwaukee
02:25and no uh yeah they did have Antetokounmpo Alex the brother played three minutes and they still lost
02:34by 24 so keep the losing going but none of that is the main topic right now this exploded yesterday
02:41at least I went crazy over it uh this is that Mark Cuban podcast sit down the intersections pod
02:48and remember the other day he came out and put Dumont Adelson on blast saying I don't regret selling
02:55I regret who I sold to Cuban then for the first time says Jason Kidd was also behind the Luka
03:05deal
03:05some people got in their feelings um all I'll tell you is that it wasn't Michael Finley
03:11and you can surmise who else was in the room it had to be personal then especially when you look
03:17at
03:17what yeah I think Mavericks got for what yeah by all measures it's a generational player right I mean
03:23by not putting it out there to get the best possible player right you talk to one club who's
03:27basically your friend right and every other team calls and says I would have given you 97 draft picks
03:32right or whatever McHale Bridges trade right right five number ones yeah and um and but I think there
03:38was animosity between um our former general manager and some people on um Luca's team you know his his
03:47agent and some of the people that worked around them um I don't think they got along um I think
03:53there were issues that you know Jay Kidd had coached with Anthony Davis and was close to him and Nico
04:00was close to AD right since he was like 13 years old and so I think you know you talk
04:09about
04:09confirmation bias that there's there were some of that as well um but you know that doesn't justify
04:16it for you know our coach and our general manager to stand up um and trade our best player whoa
04:24he did it not once but twice he danced around in the beginning you can surmise who else may have
04:31been in the room and then he left zero doubt at the end when he said not justifiable enough for
04:37our
04:37head coach and our GM to trade our best player Mark Cuban throwing Jason right right there right there
04:46right there and then like you know the the the for the one percent of doubt you did okay so
04:52you're
04:52just saying he was there in the room knew about this you get then you get a yes or no
04:58uh right then
05:00you get a definitive yes you know I mean he was there he was in on it because there's a
05:05different
05:05like to me it's like did you know about it or did you side off on it or did you
05:09like hey I want AD
05:12like that's part of it too for me your mind always goes to technicalities oh I'm a big
05:17technicality fan because I was thinking last time so you know signed off if my uh if my neighbor says
05:21hey I'm gonna build a fence between our house and I just say okay whatever you want to do go
05:26ahead
05:26and do it and then he comes back with a chain link fence I'll be like dude that's not that's
05:31not
05:31that's not the same thing yeah you know could be like if he say hey if you want to trade
05:35Luca I
05:36support it but then he comes back with that trade it's like bro whoa whoa
05:40and Mark went into Jason's you know and Nico's relationship with AD uh from 13 year old days to
05:47the Laker days and the only thing that could have been worse for Jason Kidd yesterday
05:53was if the Mavericks played here yeah because Friday night is the next home game
05:59and do you know who they're playing on Sunday uh is it the Los Angeles Lakers ding ding ding well
06:08they did play last night and there were Mavs reporters there and Brad Townsend caught up with
06:15Jason and here's Jason's typical response when are we going to move on we have to move forward
06:23we're focused on the present and the future and we've got an incredible opportunity to build
06:28kid also mentioned that he called Cuban after the comments to this podcast why is Mark Cuban doing
06:37this now I'll squeeze this in real quick this is part of my celebrity airport theory um
06:44I've always said like our last two celebrity interactions in an airport I didn't necessarily
06:49it's much easier to go up to someone when you don't know who they are you know John Quinones
06:54and then who's the comedian Jimmy Carr Jimmy Carr Jimmy Carr and I didn't I didn't really know
07:00Quinones looked familiar I had no idea who Jimmy Carr was I was like that's that's Mr. Bean um
07:06and so Cuban is talking he's done so many podcasts and so many interviews he didn't go into this with
07:13this depth and I think when you're talking with people who are not really familiar with all the
07:18sports topics yeah which this is a podcast about like world issues critical issues facing
07:24America you're more likely to go into things to explain that to people who aren't as familiar
07:28but they're still Mark Cuban's no dummy Bobby there's still some some extra intent here why
07:35why now he must have been told he's out he must have been told that whatever his dream is to
07:40to be back in charge of basketball operations or whatever he must have been told he's not getting
07:44it and so he's just like all right well if I'm done then I'm nuking all of you on the
07:48way
07:48I'm gonna keep my 27 percent or whatever it is yeah because remember he first got asked about
07:51the Nico thing and the only thing he'd say in reply was hashtag MFFL or whatever go Mavs now that
07:57he's lighting it all on fire then you know it's it's clear to me that he's just been told it's
08:02it's
08:03no longer what it was I heard a whisper well that Jason wants to move into that front office role
08:10that he's not long for coaching and that he wants to make some decisions upstairs he's not in for the
08:17daily grind um every single week moving forward so that would make sense in my mind that Mark wants
08:25basketball operations Jason wants some basketball operations and Mark said didn't get it and all of a
08:34sudden he's like I regret who I sold to and Jason Kidd's also a snake the Jason response is the
08:41worst
08:41possible response he could have given like the worst thing like what are we talking about this
08:46for still that's the worst possible response I'm done with him it's that's the yeah he should be
08:52fired he could have handled that in so many better different ways no one's ever going to forgive him
08:58but the whole what are you still worried about this for you know what are you what are you worried
09:03about that you stop worrying about how would you have answered it about him yeah uh I guess it
09:08depends on what my ultimate if my goal is just be a villain well that's not your goal that's not
09:14my goal your goal is to keep your job give us the answer he should give he should have he
09:18should
09:19honestly after after Cuban said this and outed him just just just own up to it yeah I screwed
09:25up we screwed up made a made a decision that we thought was in the best interest didn't work out
09:30that way wouldn't do it again you say that no one's ever getting you're never going to get the
09:36hundred percent of the city to forgive you there's are enough math fans out there that want
09:40to root for this team again and want everything to be holy and now there's just never going to be
09:45whole but you at least were like all right you know you made a mistake you owned up to it
09:49enough
09:49people will accept that no they know not on luka they won't absolutely will I mean I I would
09:58accept something if you could have said I've screwed up Nico wasn't saving his job saying I screwed up
10:02I made the wrong decision Nico's the GM he's the ultimate decision maker right but
10:06Cuban's telling you kid was well the question I have for every Mavs fan on the fan text is like
10:12can you put Jason right next to Nico or you already kind of knew this so you you've already come
10:17to
10:17grips with it or and what I'm really waiting to see on Friday night at the double AC will there
10:25be
10:25chance fire jkid jkid's too too nice you can do kid you know it's Jason Jason yeah I was thinking
10:33about that already it's just such a generic name though I think we I think we get it yeah like
10:38I
10:38know it is but I think that's why you you would have to I know jkid sounds clunky but jkid
10:44is too
10:44like jkid it at least is unique enough that you're like I'm talking about this Jason down here it's too
10:49friendly Nico there was no other Nico's in the arena so you're like yeah we're talking about that guy
10:52clearly but you go to the car jkid is right on the fan text which is which is the the
10:59better
10:59chance fire Jason or fire jkid it's Jason you can't go fire jkid that's like call it's like a
11:05buddy nickname you know what I mean yeah like fire jkid now the Mavs fans will probably end up doing
11:12fire kid fire kid if they do it at all yeah maybe you already kind of knew or you're just
11:19over it
11:20like RJ is we'll get to it later on pay pay what are the tollos saying a lot of the
11:25same what
11:25Bobby's repeating the 469 I think that's kid muse let's start a fire Jason kid chant 817 why does
11:30Mark Cuban keep getting a pass in all of this 817 we just need to move on from Jason kid
11:35right now
11:35yeah everybody on here is basically saying all right this is the confirmation now you get run
11:39out of town which is what my opinion now that it's confirmed Jason kid needs to be fired
