I did do a Lockdown Mavs insider subtext Q&A from the hospital yesterday.

Went in for some thought the baby is coming, but it was like, psych, staying up in here for a little bit.

1:11.7

And we'll see in the next 24, 48 hours.

1:23.4

It's our third kid.

1:24.5

And we've heard that third kids come very fast.

2:18.5

The Q&A in the hospital doesn't beat Zach Blackerby of Lockdown Auburn doing a show from the hospital room after the baby was born, like just like still in the hospital. All right, Zach, I see you. Challenge accepted. Today's episode, we're taking the challenge of talking about the Mavs. Rumors Daniel Gafford linked to Atlanta, Indiana, and Boston. What are deals that they can do for that? What about Naji Marshall and Clay Thompson's trade value? We're talking about that. Well, let's start here, Isaac Harris, because the biggest talk right now is about Anthony Davis. And you wanted an epic rant the other day about how the Mavericks should have absolutely traded Anthony Davis when they had the chance. He had this hand injury, it's a ligament injury. He's going to be out a minimum of six weeks, which takes you through the trade deadline. Mark Stein has reported over and over again. It basically takes away the idea of a trade before the trade deadline. I guess it could still happen, but essentially he seems like he's going to be on the roster of the maps, have to take this into the offseason and figure out what they're going to do

sources say have been insisted they were never willing to add former number one pick Zachary Risha Shea to the expiring contracts of Porzingis and Luke Knard in an offer for Davis. Mark Stein was on the DLS show with our friends there talking about how there was never really an offer for Anthony Davis. And so are you as... With R deal with Reese and the deal are you as mad if

3:00.4

to trade him but they just couldn't okay there's there's a difference there's a there's a key

3:06.7

difference when it comes to this conversation of

3:09.3

Because I get and I got some of the some of the feedback after me being so you know fired the other day and the rant about it was like well

3:18.3

I was like why why are you so mad about the mabs not trading him if they never had the chance to trade him?

3:27.5
