An ethical tank for the Dallas Mavericks is better than no tank at all.

This is Cooper Flagg and you're listening to Lockdown Mall.

I think that's a good question.

Good morning, Isaac.

All these changes.

No, I still got my dog Dwight Powell.

Win, win? Kind of a win, kind of a win, kind of win. Lost to the Sacramento Kings. We'll talk about Nashi Marshall, marshall the float god absolutely awesome we'll talk about what the quote jac kid said about him which i found hilarious and we'll talk about max christie and how they're using him we'll talk about marvin bagley we'll talk about a j johnson the maps that got a little run out of him and we'll talk about some other random things too the Sacramento Kings what's going on with that

organization we'll talk about who would want to go to the Sacramento Kings right now what they're

building over there yeah a couple other things that I saw here at the arena but let's start here

this game a loss to the Sacramento Kings the perfect loss for the Dallas Mavericks at the end of

the season if only Cooper Flag was part of it and we saw Cooper Flag go off a little bit more. If that was something that was in this game, it would make it even more perfect that Cooper Flag is like one of the only things that we're kind of watching the end of this season for if you're a Dallas Mavericks fan. I've talked to so many Dallas Mavericks fan. Talk to a lot of them tonight. And they're all like, yeah, you know, I get it, there's not really much to play for at the end of this season, but I want somebody good next to Cooper Flag.

Mavs fans want somebody great next to that guy. And the best way to do it is to lose these

games at the end of the season. I'm going to sound like a broken record. But it is true.

Like this is the difference between eight and 7, where the Mavericks are at 7 right now, and I think they could maybe get to 6 if the Pelicans go on a little bit of a run. They've won a couple here, and they don't have any reason to lose. But unless that happens, the Mavs need to stay in 7th because we know that that top three is very good. Darren Peterson, Cam Booser, AJ DeBanza,

is absolutely good. Darren Peterson, Cam Bozer, A.J. DeBanza is absolutely awesome.

Isaac would take AJ DeBanza number one.

I would probably do the same as of right now.

And then Caleb Wilson, you know, Kings and Fleming's great players as well.

This draft is like nine deep in like players that I would feel really good about the Mavericks

getting. If you're in seventh, these are your odds in those spots to get those spots. Top four,
