We have a very special guest joining us on the Diamond Factory Ticket hotline to talk about all the happenings next door, all the drama.

It's our buddy Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News.

Brad, pretty busy 24 hours for you.

How are you doing?

We're saying the least.

I'm doing okay.

How are you guys?

We're doing pretty good.

It seems like every time we have you on, there is some drama going on.

Maybe the Mavericks trading a franchise player.

This time, some drama between the Stars and the Mavs.

I know a lot of people are having trouble processing and understanding what's going on.

If you could just kind of explain the issues going on

right now with the Mads and Stars to us. Oh, boy. Well, that's a long story. That is a big question.

I think it's interesting. You guys are literally right next door to American Airlines Center,

so you guys haven't picked up on any feuding? You know, I would almost equate it to the two franchises that

they share American Airlines Center in the past year. They've become estranged. I mean,

it was already a rocky relationship, but now they're

estranged, and yet both by contract, by lease, must remain in American Airlines Center through

2031. So I kind of equated to an estranged couple that still has to share the same house for six more years, certainly in separate bedrooms at this point.

It really feels like that the Mavericks are being a little bit more aggressive than the stars here.

Now, there's probably fault on both sides from everything we read.
