One more thing, it's been a year, a year since that trade happened. And one thing keeps coming back to my mind. Welcome, you're still locked down to the Dallas Maver's your team every day. My name is the next and media member coming the maps for over 10 years. Today's episode brought to by Game Time, down the Game Time app, created account. Use the code locked down and you get $20 off your first. If you missed the episode with Isaac and Slightly and I talking about all kinds of things, trade deadline and everything that we thought. We disagree on a bunch of stuff with the Mavs trade. Go listen to that. And then I'll bring Isaac in slightly in to talk about their thoughts about the Luka trade. But I want to start with this real quick. I think it's been a year since the Lucca Dantra trade the Anthony Davis trade

the Max Christi trade, the Nico Harrison got fired because of it trade, whatever you want to call it. And one thing keeps coming back to my mind is that Cooper Flagg saved the day. 1.8% chance. 1.8% chance the Mavericks got the number one pick. That was the lottery odds from when

the MAVs got the number one pick. And if you just look at the whole, the consequences of the

entire trade altogether from start to finish, from what Nico's vision was, the band word on the show,

from where it is now and what has actually transpired. We, Mavericks fans and the Mavericks themselves

are teetering on a cliff on an edge

if Cooper Flag doesn't happen.

Think about how toxic, think about how terrible

everything would be.

Think about how frustrated everybody would still be

at this point.

If you don't have Cooper Flag, is Nico Harrison still in power because, hey,

you've got to clean this up. But now with Cooper Flag, you have a future that you can push

towards. You have a future that you can plan for. You have actually something that you can look at

that management and ownership can look at and be like, all right, well, we actually have a future.

We actually have a foundation now going forward for what this franchise can be and how this franchise

can get back to relevance in any way, shape, or form.

1.8% chance, and I get it, I get it.

1.8% is why people are still thinking that it was it happened because the league mandated it and

has it worked out well for the lakers i mean kind of they've been back to relevant they've got luca danchich

they've been in big they've been in some big game big moments they've had massive stories you've

had you know lebron james with the story about he hey it's you know they're treating it like lucas team
