on today's show.

You can win a game and still lose. I think it's fine. The Mabbs won this one. This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Lockdown Mall. So all of them is all fine. I think that's a good question. Good morning, Isaac. All these changes. No, I still got my dog, Dwight Powell. You are a Locked on Mavs. Your daily Dallas Mavericks podcast. I don't know.

What did you see for the Dallas Mavericks tonight, Slightly biased?

Yeah, I mean, I get it, guys.

I'm right here with all of you guys in spirit about the tanking stuff and needing to and wanting to lose games,

especially one against somebody so close to you in proximity in the tanking wars

with the Memphis Grizzlies.

But we've said this all year when you win a game and it's on the back of your young guys and stuff,

We'll talk about Chris Middleton, obviously.

We'll talk about the Mavs in their spots.

We'll talk about maybe about someone slightly's draft takes. They're starting to start to really seep into the content. Yeah, they're starting to pervade in the group chat. So, but let's start here. I'm going to do this again. If you run every day or if you listen every day,

part of the Raccoon Squad, you know this.

They don't control their own draft pick for the next four years.

This is the last chance.

And it sounds like Adam Silver is going to make drastic changes,

drastic incremental changes.

I don't know which one he's going to do.

I don't think he's decided yet.

On tanking, on improving your draft stock,
