One more thing, DeAngel Russell said that he's finally found a structure here in Dallas.

What does he mean by that?

And what is the key to playing with Anthony Davis?

He told us all that and more.

Today's like to Max.

I'm here because I have to be.

Dallas is going to get a seat at the table.

Nice penetrating thrust to the middle of the people forget about it.

Wait, wait, one more thing. Yeah, you're still locked on to the Dallas Mavericks. My name is Nick Engstead. Media member covering the maps for 10 years. Thanks for reading and every day. Listen to the show. This is a bonus episode of Lockdown Maps. And joining me, as always, one more thing, King. What you got for me, Isaac carris i enjoyed talking to dilo i was looking

forward to he was one of the people i was looking forward to the most at media day um a lot because

of our kentucky connection and louisville and wanted to talk to him about that and um i didn't know

his agent was his brother also who was from you know i was from kentucky so it was cool you know

Go check out that interview. Good stuff. Like Isaac said, it was really good to talk to him and sit down with him. Very thoughtful, very, like, very mature. And I was shocked today with, like, Jason Kidd called him a vet. He's been in the league 10 years. Yeah, it's crazy. Like he is eligible for like the 10 year max. You know what I mean? Like because of years of service, which is like a contract thing, but that is wild to me. And so we're going to talk about that. And I have two clips that we've shared recently that I just thought were really interesting from this interview. And we're going to break him down. The first one is him talking about, you really gasped him up and said that he is a great fit because you've been a big believer in his fit. I actually believe it. You do believe it. No, I'm not saying you're gas lighting. There's a big difference between gas lighting and gassing. There's a huge difference between those two things. But this is what your question did Daniel Ross.

I've been pretty vocal about your fit in Dallas being a great one and that this is going to be some of the best basketball in your career.

And that the fit and everything's going to be awesome, why am I going to be right?

I think a guy, you know, like me plugging into a system like this not every team

has a coach that's played you know has a the credibility with the team that's already here

you know not including me and you plug me into that i've had limited structure my career so to get

to an organization as as you you can see, full on structure

from the youth, from the coaches, from the veterans, to plug me into something like that. I like my

odds too. So we're on the same team. The DAP, the DAP there at the end gets me. We almost

struggle with it because the mic cord was stuck in the chair and I went and I hit the limit of it.
