One more thing.

Jason Kidd suggests that Kyrie Irving is coming back sooner than I even thought.

I'm here because I have to be.

Dallas is going to get a seat at the table.

That's it.

It's me versus the machine.

Nice.

And a trading thrust to the middle of the middle.

People forget about it.

Hot man, the hot player.

Wait, wait.

Joining me, it's the one more thinking himself, Isaac Harris. What you got for me, Isaac? Oh, let's talk some Kyrie. One of my favorite Mavericks of all time. Kyrie Irving. That's right. Jason Kidd suggests that Kyrie could come back a little bit sooner than we had even, that I had even thought.

He said this the other day. We just can't wait to get Kai back at some point. Hopefully it's in the year of 2025, not 2026. We'll see what happens. But I think those two, Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flag, will be a perfect match in the back court. And when he says, we can't just wait to get,

we can't wait to get Kai back,

meaning like,

we can't just be looking in the future and saying,

well,

when we get Kai back, when we get Kai back, we'll do this. They've got to be able to execute now. That's what he was kind of referring to. but that's the part that he says hopefully it's in the year 2025 and not 2026 because you and I have been going off of this timeline of all right it'll be like 10 months or so he had his he had you know his ACL torn on in on March 3rd and we were like all right well maybe it'll be like 10 we'll wait like 10 months he's 33 years old he's a little bit older in his career he's had some injuries in the past to go through the surgery. Got to go through all this stuff. And we've been just kind of like pushing it off.

But it could be a shorter time frame for him.

2025 means to suggest that he could come back like next month.

It is November right now. He could come back next month. Does that change anything that you think about Kyrie Irving?
