It's a one more thing joined by my co-host isaac harris the one more thing king himself and i want to talk about zion williamson because i've been listening to lockdown pelicans and isaacian they they think that he's going to be gone that How's Jake doing over there? Jake is struggling.

0:55.5

Jake is, Jake is just, you know, like, all right, we're going for it. Jean-Tay Murray, we're winning games, fine. All right. Derek Queen back to the bench. Don't like that. But they think that they're headed towards a separation between Zion and the Pelicans to the end of the season. And so that leaves me the question. Should the Mavericks get in on something like that?

0:57.9

Is that an opportunity the Mavericks should jump on?

0:55.5

Because between Zion and the Pelican to the end of the season. And so that leaves me to the question. Should the Mavericks get in on something like that?

0:57.9

1:37.9

1:42.4

if you want all this money you got to hit these things things. Crazy concept. You got to play games to get paid. And for him, it was like basically all these like markers. So he passed the 51 game mark the other day. And his guaranteed money went up to 25 million is like 25 and a half, 253 or something. And so he has a chance to play a little bit over 60 games i think there's a

2:02.4

there's another benchmark there at 61 games he'll get another like 20 percent i think it's like
