I think they would be a great duo for a Mavsboard podcast, again, unless they already are a part of another one…
WHAT SAY YE???
Will you take this journey with us? (hand outstretched gently)
Fif had the idea of changing the landscape of the press game and using screen names instead of real names. Would be awesome to hear in a press conference “Yes, Luka, Mavs Lover spelt without the e here with Mavsboard dot com…”.
I guess first things first, we literally are the underpants gnomes on this. We don’t know the step before profit, but all the other steps are there!
You and Killer are too kind. Love the anonymous podcast idea. I have some broadcasting (TV and Radio) in my distant past. I do a fair amount of public speaking these days. So, I might not suck at it. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a "two-handed economist" as Harry Truman once described. So, Hot Takes may not be my thing.

All this means is that M12 has to join Dan and ML on the podcast team!!!

KP understands his injury history and is willing to take 3/$101mm (starts at $31.6mm), but he wants a PO that final year in case he happens to have a really good run the next two years.
Do you sign Simmons at 4/$147mm?

If someone made you sign one of the other, which would you sign?
I sign Simmons. This would be a serious basketball debate, if it was not for the injury risk. It changes everything. It also totally changes KP´s trade value. I don´t think anybody would give a crap about his 14/7 play-offs with sub-par defense, if he was healthy. Teams could easily talk themselves into rusty, strange season, strange past two years with COVID, he´s 26, he´s unique. It´s all about his personal and the injury history of tall guys. That changes everything.

That would be the other part of the cast. Random board member guests that we can figure out the Skip/Stephen A role! Eventually if we can figure out how to get money for all of this, we start paying for you guys to interview players, which transitions to press passes!

I've already got my reoccurring segment picked out. The THT Corner (Three). A two minute drill of all things THT.

I would ask Cuban why he hates Mavs fans and their dream of winning championships so much...
Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...

Ben Simmons, without thinking twice.

I sign both and prepare for the finals run.
(But if I had to choose, Ben Simmons no question)
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.

Morey magic.
A dozen offers doesn't mean a dozen good offers. A few days ago we heard the leaguewide consensus would be very low in Simmons. He's on a long, expensive contract and will not shot the basketball.

I doubt Mavs could get a dozen offers period.
