Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

Just filling the air. Tough time of the season to fill a full podcast without stoking some rumors.

It's one thing to use up over 25% of your cap on a big guy. One that cannot hang with the other bigs in your own conference, much less in the finals? Not a good recipe. Hopefully Nico and Cuban are not that dumb, but as I told EL, can't write it off unfortunately.

Except that he said he NEVER does hypothetical trades. Cato and TMac are other legit sources with this rumor. This isn't empty spitballing. Even if this is agent driven, well, when it's the same agent as Luka then you're taking it seriously.

Mavs desperately need a center. This is a Cuban move through and through.
