Welcome you are listening to lockdown Mavericks I am Nick

Angstead I am a writer at mabs moneyball dot com and I am joined as always by

my co-host Isaac Harris he is a writer at the smoking Cuban the editor of smoking Cuban and a writer also at

mabs dot com and if you're listening to this and if you're interested in

the story that came out last night from Sports Illustrated about the Mavericks.

It's a crazy story and it is a gut-wrenching story.

Isaac and I both have a personal relationship

with Earl K. Snead.

He was mentioned by name in the article.

And I, we've decided, I'm,

I've decided at least to just not comment about that.

Isaac's not going to comment about anything because he works for the team.

But we're not going to comment about Earl at all.

As far as the other stuff that was mentioned in the article,

it's very disappointing.

And I mean, we're starting to see in the world

a lot of this stuff come out. The Me movement I mean it's just rampant all over the place in every industry and it's starting to hit sports and

the maverick seemed to be the first spot that it hit.

This is, I think for at least in my opinion or from what I've seen in red the first big, you know,

sports team or sports entity that has been really hit by this.

That's had people called out by name, that's had specific actions called out, that's had specific,

you know, things mentioned about it.
