Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

That's not what the Mavericks Brass hat in mind when they made that deal forairi Irving. Then again, I'm not really sure

what they had in mind when they made that deal for Kairi Irving. Or who in their right mind

would watch the last few years of Kairi's Zak and think, hell yes, that's what we need.

Sign that guy up.

Let's go ahead and pair that dude with our young franchise superstar.

But that's exactly what the Mabs did.

And I'm pretty sure that they didn't do all that

just so they could blow 27-point leads on national television to a team desperate and scrapping for a playing spot to a team of lasers that shot six of 34 from beyond the arc and still managed the biggest

comeback of the NBA season so far.

I'm going to imagine that for a minute. Six of 34 from Beyond the

Arc and they still overcame a 27 point deficit. 34. But then again like I

said I'm not sure what Dallas was thinking when they added that part-time player and

full-time franchise killer Kyrie and they got that part-time player and

that full-time franchise killer by trading away their depth.

And due to actually do get back and play defense.

But here are the predictable results.

They're now one in four with Kyrie. But here are the predictable results.

They're now one in four with Kyri and Luca on the court together.

And yesterday showed that things are not exactly trending in the right direction for these two.

Now, notice I'm not going to blame the entire collapse

on Kyrie or Luca or that stupid song.
