On today's show, the Dallas Mavericks are going to make a big push on internal development. And if everybody takes a big leap, they've got a ton of decisions to make. This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Lockdown Mall. So, all of them, all the finals. Nothing as important as winning in sports. All about winning. I will win in Dallas. You are Locked on Mass. Great, guys. You Your daily Dallas Mavericks podcast. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network. All these changes. Your team every day. You know, I still got my dog right down. And welcome. You're Locked on the Dallas Mavericks. Your team every day. My name is Nick Engstead. Joining me, as always, my co-host, the Leap Lord, the One More Thinking, what you got from you, Isaac Harris? I mean, I'm just so excited for this Mavs game on Friday. I'm counting down to it. I'm ready. What are you most excited about? Give me one thing. Yeah, give me one thing. I mean, I guess Larry, we got to talk about Larry.

If he plays, I hope he plays. Please play Larry.

Please play. Today's episode, though, we're going to talk about the other players on the Dallas Mavericks.

And who could make a leap this season? If somebody makes a leap, a Max Christie makes a leap, Derek lively makes a leap, somebody like that, uh, Marcus Sasser makes a leap from, you know,

another team to this team. What could it mean for the Dallas Mavericks? But I want to start

with Larry and with, uh, Babirovich. Those guys coming over, making the leap from overseas, from

Europe, coming over to the U.S. What could a leap for those guys mean for the Dallas Mavericks? And maybe just what if those guys are good right away? If they're come in and they're really good, we've seen some guys come over. Obviously, one was a rookie for the Dallas Mavericks in 2018. Came over and was really good right away. But what if, let's start with, let's start with Beaverovich. What if he comes over and he's really, really good right away? Because I think that would make the Dallas Madrig to have to make a ton of, like, or a few decisions. Yeah, I think it's when we're talking about the Euro guys coming over, it's a, we got to think about the context of it right like even the other day

when we were talking about uh sergio and um virevich and stuff and it's like oh man he might be

legit well what does legit mean does legit mean luka or does legit mean a rotation player and for me

it means like hey legit part of the rotation and like a guy.

And because you just look at all the history of guys who come over from different, you know,

from different leagues and stuff.

And it's unless you're like one of, well, I was to say, unless you're one of the top picks,

but even then, like, yeah, the Vesilles and Benders of the world, you know so it's like it's it's just so hit or miss on hey what type of player these guys are going to be so when i think about it

i'm like all right what if what if these guys are like legit going to be in the rotation and like

part of the future.

And so you look at a guy like Babirovich, it's where it's like, all right, you're getting this 25-year-old sharpshooter that can shoot off the ball, shoot on the ball, like one of,

I mean, literally one of the best shooters in the world.

So it's like if you're bringing him in at a cheap contract number that you have him at, man, I mean, now you have, and he's what, 6-7, 6-8, you have size on the wing that can shoot the lights out.

He has some athleticism and stuff in him too.

So that's, I think it changes.

Sometimes we talk about the rookie draft, like the rookies and their like cap number
