00:00Another guy that I don't think is going to happen because the Mavericks have looked really good so far, and
00:05Cooper and Kyrie have looked so awesome, it's Kyrie Irving.
00:09And a lot of people are saying, well, Kyrie to the Heat, that makes perfect sense, or Kyrie to the
00:13Pistons, like, that makes perfect sense.
00:15I just really don't see the Mavericks trading Kyrie Irving.
00:18They're 7-4.
00:20Like, he's actually looked pretty decent.
00:21They're load managing his injury because he's coming off a torn ACL, but he's looked really good with Cooper Flagg
00:27so far.
00:28But the Mavericks are that meme that never let them know your next move.
00:35I wouldn't be shocked if they traded Kyrie, man.
00:38I'm not even finished.
00:39Listen, after they traded Luka, everything's on the table at this point.
00:42But it's not Nico Harrison anymore.
00:44It's Masai Ujiri.
00:46And that's cool.
00:47And that's cool.
00:49But Masai Ujiri take orders from the owner.
00:51And we already know that owner's a wild card.
00:54And so, to me, I think, and two, Kyrie might walk into that office and say something crazy to them
01:00folks.
01:01And they look at him and go, all right, well, you got to go.
01:04So, this is an unpredictable situation from both ends.
01:07The Mavericks management is as wild as the outside.
01:12And Kyrie Irving is his own beat.
01:14He's his own drum.
01:15He's his own band.
01:16And so, Kyrie may come in on some, you know, I'm not playing again until they get the Gaza situation
01:22figured out.
01:23And he means it.
01:24And he won't play.
01:26So, you know, you just have to really be tuned in to that organization to kind of really know where
01:33they're at.
01:33And I don't think anyone's that tuned in in a league to know what they're going to do next.
01:37So, they could move Kyrie.
01:39Or they could, you know, continue the way that they're going.
01:42But Cooper Flagg's been amazing for us.
01:44And, by the way, Cooper Flagg is still 19 years old.
01:47For people who haven't, who haven't dawned on it, he's still 19 years old.
01:51And he's doing things in this league where you can already say, like, that's a top 20 player in this
01:57league already.
01:57LeBron, he's doing, at 19, Cooper Flagg is doing LeBron James level things.
02:04I don't know why more people aren't saying this.
02:07The games don't look the same.
02:08The games don't look the same.
02:10They're not playing, they don't play the same way.
02:13But statistically, they're very identical to what LeBron did his first two years in the league.
02:18And what Cooper Flagg is doing his first two years in the league.
02:22And, again, around the same age, people were saying, well, this is the next coming of Michael Jordan when LeBron
02:28came in.
02:29And it's just the fact that there's so much good young talent right now in the NBA that we're kind
02:33of, oh, yeah, Cooper Flagg, by the way, looks incredible.
02:36Unbelievable.
02:37Just by the way, you know.
02:38So, Wemby is the reason nobody talks about Cooper Flagg.
02:43Exactly.
02:44And I should have mentioned this in the MVP talks because Wemby, I think I put this in our group
02:50chat the other night.
02:51And I know we're kind of getting off topic here.
02:53But I have to mention this.
02:54Like, Wemby is doing things on the basketball court.
02:58And I know it's been, what, year three, year four, whatever it is of Victor Wemby, Yama.
03:03He's doing things on the court where I'm just like, oh, my God, I've still never seen that before.
03:08I mean, he had this layup.
03:10It was a layup.
03:11Simple layup.
03:12From the three-point line?
03:13It wasn't just the three-point line, John.
03:15He was two steps behind the three-point line when he started his layup.
03:21He began the process, the gather, at the three-point line.
03:27And he laid the, he finger-rolled at the, I just hope someone on that coaching staff will just say
03:36to him, hey, man, look.
03:37Look at the film.
03:39Stand, same thing for Joel Embiid, but more so for Wemby.
03:42Stand 12 feet from the basket.
03:44You can score 40 points a game.
03:45And because you'll be playing so close to the basket, you can also get 20 rebounds.
03:49The game, he had 40, I think he had 40, 20, and eight blocks.
03:54Like, you can do that every single game by playing closer to the basket.
03:59His, he shoots the three better than Joel Embiid does, but every time he shoots it, he's bailing out the
04:04other team.
04:05Yeah.
04:06Every single time.
04:07Him, Wemby close to the basket, is the most unguardable player I've seen since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
04:13You, there's just nothing you can do about it.
04:17Literally nothing.
