One more thing. Anthony Davis trade coming soon for the Dallas Mavericks. Maybe not. Nico Harrison did what with Dirk Novitsky? And we finally learned about Michael Finley and that dreaded beer. Long time, that was one more thing right now. I'm not a doctor, so. That's it. It's me versus the machine. They did. I don't know. Sotna up change. Nice. In a trading thrust to the middle. Hot man, the hot player. Wait, wait. One more thing. Fire it up. Yeah, welcome. You're still locked down to the Dallas Mavericks. Your team every day. My name is Nick Engstead medium member coming the master 10 years thanks for reading every day

it's a one more thing a bonus episode of

locked on maps you missed the episode after the Sun's game slightly and I broke it all down, talked about Cooper Flag, talked about BJ Washington, and there were no fire Nico chance.

But I do want to talk about Nico a little bit in this one because Mark Stein dropped a piece

just in all one of those where you're just like, all right, every single line here I could tell

you that there's something that happens, something new that I learned about the Mavs, the

organization and all that. So I'm just going to go through some of the things that I thought that were notable from this piece from Mark Stein on his substack, which is just a must for every single Mavericks fan to subscribe to. We'll talk about the search for the next GM. We'll talk about Nico Harrison, a couple of things we learned about him, and then Michael Finley and the beer. We learned one very crucial piece of information about Michael Finley and Michael Finley and the beer that he took from Lucas.

Hold on. and then Michael Finley and the beer. We learned one very crucial piece of information about Michael Finley and Michael Finley and the beer that he took from Lucas. I'll talk about that. Let's start here. Mark Stein reports there's no belief yet that Anthony Davis will try to force a trade post-Niko, but the Mavs will work with Anthony Davis. So the suggestion is that there is nothing imminent that Anthony Davis is like, All right, Nico is gone, so I have to request a trade that I'm out. It seems like Anthony Davis is still going to be here. And that would be the first thing. The first thing that could happen is Anthony Davis goes, all right, you got rid of my guy that brought me in that was the vote of confidence for me, that traded, that traded, that traded, that traded, that traded, that traded, that traded. for me that believe to me that much, I'm out. I don't want to be here anymore. And then he could just sit out and ask to be traded.

And that could be the thing that springs... that traded Luca Dantage for me that believed to me that much, I'm out. I don't want to be here anymore.

And then he could just sit out and ask to be traded. And that could be the thing that springs all of this into action. And honestly, we put the Mavericks in a situation, like the heat we're in with Jimmy Butler, like so many teams have been where you're just like put in a position where the player is holding the team hostage. And that's not a position of power at all for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks right now, if they want to trade Anthony Davis,

and it's not him position of power at all for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks right now, if they want to trade Anthony Davis,

and it's not him coming out and saying, I want to be traded. If it's them saying that, then the Mavs can say, well, we can just hold him. He's not demanding a trade. He's not sitting out or anything like that. We can hold on to him. He's got him under contract for two more years after this one.

So we don't have to take your, your dumb offer right now.
