Summary

Luka Doncic is officially a Laker, and Matt isn’t holding back on Mavericks’ new owner Patrick Dumont for his wild comments questioning Luka. Stak and special guest Keyon Dooling break it all down—what this means for LeBron’s championship window, how Dallas rebounds, and whether the Lakers just became instant title favorites. With football season in the books, it’s time to lock in on the NBA. The crew tackles Kevin Durant’s rumored frustration in Phoenix, the impact of young phenom Cooper Flagg on the league’s future, and what All The Smoke has planned for NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco.

Keon Dueling. But before to get to them, I want to talk a little bit about these new NBA owners.

This guy married into money and was gifted this position. We've all known and loved Dallas for

a long time. Obviously, Mark Cuban's going to go down as one of the greatest owners in history.

It's always been a destination and always been one of the best ran organizations, not just in the NBA, but in professional sports history.

But of late, it almost seems like things have been crumbling. You know, over 2,000 Dallas Mabbs subscribers have dropped their subscription.

1:33.4

It's just kind of been a mess.

1:35.4

Fans were throwing out of the games for bringing posters that were, I guess,

1:39.4

jeopardizing or disrespectful towards management.

1:43.1

And it seems like once an organization that was once highly touted and looked at as one of the
