What's upon a time I had tried to explain to people that I wasn't in Washington when I was applying for jobs out here in California when we first moved out here at the back end of the time. I'm not kidding. Stop it, I am not kidding at all. Is that Washington? No, no, no, Chicago got a big deal. But that's okay, it's not about me. It's not about me. Look, there's no chance in hell my application would be in anything other than Kindling at this point. If I were to apply with the grades and scores, I I'm.

I don't know if it's that I don't want to go that far.

I just say it.

I just say it.

I might have set my sights a little bit lower, But if I knew the world at large that I am, maybe I would have expanded the horizons. But it served me well, because you know what, I'm here with you. Yes, you're talking and evangelizing here on the vast Fox Sports Radio network. As we're thinking about quarterbacks the number one pick. I was wondering aloud, and I asked you this question. Did the Titans show their hand by releasing Landry today?

In what way?

In what way?

Though? You mean?

Though? You mean?

So, which way they're going to go in the Drafty?

So, which way they're going to go in the Drafty?

Were they're going to go in the draft?

Were they're going to go in the draft?

Hey?

Hey?

It's one for one because right now if you go to the betting odds, they are tied or were the last I looked with the Giants as the team most like today actually draft at the number one slot. How about that?

It's one for one because right now if you go to the betting odds, they are tied or were the last I looked with the Giants as the team most like today actually draft at the number one slot. How about that?

They're you know, if I'm them, I'm going to trade on down. I don't think does anybody really that I want to take it? A high pick there that's worth it? So and I think maybe I could probably get a bunch in return if somebody wants to take a Travis Hunter or take a flyer on one of the two quarterbacks, or maybe even trade up for Jackson Dart. So I'll trade on down to make my team better because I have so much I need. One pick is not going to go and make it finish up there for me. I need to get a bunch of picks there.

Yeah, I think it's as we sit here, you know it's only Mark seven, plenty of time in the silly season in rumor, conjecture, speculation of it all, Arnie of you know where this goes? How many trades could go out there? You got Charles Davis. His mock draft looks like no other. Is that he's got quarterbacks going one, two, three, with Jackson Dark coming all the way up to number three.

Is that he's got quarterbacks going one, two, three, with Jackson Dark coming all the way up to number three.

Wow, that's crazy. So is that because of abdul Carter's injury? Does he believe? Because at first they said he was gonna have surgery, and then of course they're like no, no, no, no, you're supposed to say that after he gets drafted. So you know now it's like, no, no, he doesn't need surgery. But who knows what the next report is gonna be. Have to get drafted. But I can't take him one, two or three or even in the top five with that hanging over my head? What are you crazy? Well, I think something like that.

But that's just the right. It's depending how many doctors you go to the old adages, you'll find one that agrees with me.

But that's just the right. It's depending how many doctors you go to the old adages, you'll find one that agrees with me.

Right, That's why, that's why, that's why I'm going back to what I just told you I'm trading on down. Let somebody else take a shot at Carter. Let somebody else take the two quarterbacks Intraduur and Ward and see what happens there. Matter of fact, if you want me to, let if I'm going to trade down to like five or six or seven Gent, the running back out of Boise State, maybe I'll take a look at him. I like him a lot. Maybe I take a wide receiver, but I trade on down. I'm not worried about you know some of those upper tier guys that you know, those two quarterbacks in Travis Hunter.

Maybe I take a wide receiver, but I trade on down. I'm not worried about you know some of those upper tier guys that you know, those two quarterbacks in Travis Hunter.

Well that's the big question in this draft, right, do you have that plug and play quarterback that comes in and you say he's an all world The consensus is no. But we know the way the world works in the NFL is that quarterbacks are going to gravitate back into the first round. Last year, this time we were having a lot of debates about that second class of quarterbacks. Guess what they all got drafted pretty early, right, big surprises on the board. When Atlanta goes and grabs Pannix and you know bo Nicks, it seemed like a perfect fit for Sean Payton, and eventually it got there after a month. I think they were you know, there were plenty of sideline spots like they were going to choke each other out wrestling style. But you know, you've got a ton of players in depth at a number of positions, your edge rushers, You've got some running backs that are making some noise, right Omariah Hampton out of North Carolinas, a guy that's gotten some notices alongside genty. But if you're in, if you're telling.

Me the top three Pixar quarterbacks.

Me the top three Pixar quarterbacks.

I'm just saying I would not be shocked, right it Just given the the need for that position.

I'm just saying I would not be shocked, right it Just given the the need for that position.

Then look, the Raiders get themselves not only a new quarterback. They can get gent at number six and have him as they're running back, and boy, they're really turning around their team. Then you really got to like word they're doing at this position. The Patriots at number four, they're not taking a quarterback, right, I don't think they're taking a running back with Stevenson. So maybe they trade on down because they have so many more needs than what they could take at number four. So maybe they're the team that allows other teams to trade on up and see where they go from there.

Yeah, citing Charles Davis's draft. Old friend of mine used to do a lot of spots with us here on the network. He has Shador going number one, cam Ward number two, Jackson Dart third, a dual Carter going to the Patriots. Mike Grabel takes him there, just an edge rusher because look back at what was.

He has Shador going number one, cam Ward number two, Jackson Dart third, a dual Carter going to the Patriots. Mike Grabel takes him there, just an edge rusher because look back at what was.

Good good value having it? Yeah, good value at number four with he could have been the number one overall pick at that place.

Good good value having it? Yeah, good value at number four with he could have been the number one overall pick at that place.

Yeah. A month and a half ago, you had the Titans GM saying well, we won't pass on a generational player, and I think a lot of people presumed to Abdual Carter was that guy. Now, depending on your school of thought, maybe you went down the Travis Hunter road. I'm still trying to figure out where I sit when it comes to Travis Hunter long term, Right, he's gonna go in as a cornerback, what he wants to play, wide receiver, all of those things we talk about, strength to schedule and all of those things in terms of people he dominated on either side of the ball at times. And how does that translate going forward? The answers, I don't know. I'm here.

He could fall to the Raiders. I mean, if the first three picks are quarterbacks and you're tell me that Carter's gonna be going to the Patriots at number four, well that just leaves one more what Jacksonville.

He could fall to the Raiders. I mean, if the first three picks are quarterbacks and you're tell me that Carter's gonna be going to the Patriots at number four, well that just leaves one more what Jacksonville.

Well Jack Rao, who need everything right? Well, he just purged a lot of stuff, right, Kirk's gone.

Well Jack Rao, who need everything right? Well, he just purged a lot of stuff, right, Kirk's gone.

You have you could train up one spot too if you're the Raiders, if you really want to get him that.

You have you could train up one spot too if you're the Raiders, if you really want to get him that.

He really wanted to. Yeah, in his mock, he's got Mason Graham out of Michigan, the defensive tackle going there. So it's him and Christian Wilkins and suddenly you have alongside Crosby a very formidable front try to navigate the west. Wow. And that goes to the Jets, and this is where we get Ian in real quick. We got a break in a sect for mark Stein to join his talk some NBA all right, yeah, some NBA fun. Sorry, the brain is just moving too fast. He's got Will Campbell, the lineman out of LSU at seven. Ian, I defer to you with your squad, how happy would you be there?

Ian, I defer to you with your squad, how happy would you be there?

I'd like it, I'd like it.

I'd like it, I'd like it.

The big question with Campbell was his arm length, and he went to the combine measured in and it turns out that he does indeed have very very short arms, like historically short for t rex, right, He's literally a t rex. So it's it's a little questionable there, like can he stick at tackle? But like the bottom line is that Will Campbell is the best just straight offensive lineman in the draft, whether he's guard whatever, He's gonna find a home. So yeah, I like it. And then they need help on the offensive line that everyone does always, So there.

Yeah. Yeah, Well, first of it was gonna be a lot worse. That's why. Sure, I thought it was gonna be like the season ending, or it worse that he was not even gonna make it back for the playoffs or maybe the first round. Now we hear it's gonna be two weeks. I think they'll reevaluate it in two weeks. Hopefully he comes back, you know, like with about six seven games left. Rest that body up. We'll see how effective he's gonna be. But it was horrible to see him go down like that.

Well, let's talk to a man who knows about this and everything going on in our NBA. It's Mark Stein. Joins us at the steinline where you find him on x You can read him at Substack. Mark Stein dot substack dot com longtime NBA scribe insider, Mark, Welcome into the show on a big Friday night. How are you?

Well, let's talk to a man who knows about this and everything going on in our NBA. It's Mark Stein. Joins us at the steinline where you find him on x You can read him at Substack. Mark Stein dot substack dot com longtime NBA scribe insider, Mark, Welcome into the show on a big Friday night. How are you?

I am all good, but I think, yeah, it could have been a lot worse with Jalen Brunson, honestly, So if you are a Knicks fan, as I'm getting the vibe from the weepiness that you are, I mean, yeah, I think things could have been a lot worse. I don't think Jalen Brunton will be back in two weeks, but again I think that the efficient you know, the way it looks, you certainly thought it could be a much more severe injury. And I'm based in Dallas, so the team I covered seems to know nothing but injuries. So an injury that turns out less severe than anticipated always always always the better outcome.

I am all good, but I think, yeah, it could have been a lot worse with Jalen Brunson, honestly, So if you are a Knicks fan, as I'm getting the vibe from the weepiness that you are, I mean, yeah, I think things could have been a lot worse.

And I'm based in Dallas, so the team I covered seems to know nothing but injuries. So an injury that turns out less severe than anticipated always always always the better outcome.

All right, So well let's go to Dallas first, we'll circle back alreadie you can get back on your knicks and trying to revive them in a moment for the Mavericks, how is how are the more Cubans going in Dallas? We're talking about hey would have gotten a better deal and all of that rhetoric after we've watched just the carnage the last couple of weeks.

All right, So well let's go to Dallas first, we'll circle back alreadie you can get back on your knicks and trying to revive them in a moment for the Mavericks, how is how are the more Cubans going in Dallas? We're talking about hey would have gotten a better deal and all of that rhetoric after we've watched just the carnage the last couple of weeks.

Well, I don't think it's too surprising, honestly, because you know, it's pretty well known that, you know, Mark Cuban was as big a Luca Dogs fan as there was in Dallas. And you know, the first five plus seasons of Luca's career when Mark Cuban was still the majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks. I mean, really, everything they did was designed to make him happy, try to put a good team around him. You know what makes it all so emotional in Dallas. A big part of this is, and this is kind of unique to the Mavericks and unique to the city and unique to the history of the franchise, is that, you know, Dirknavitski played twenty one years for the Mavericks, which is a single team NBA record that might never be broken. You obviously, Stephen Curry has a chance, so he has the opportunity to be one a one team legend. But like you just don't see that much in the modern NBA, And in those last years of Davitski's career, the last two three years, it just hung over the franchise, How on earth do you replace someone who is synonymous with the team as Dirk Davitski was. And then not only were the Mavericks able to find a way to acquire the draft rights to Luka Doncic on draft Nights in twenty eighteen, but Dirk and Luca actually played a past the Torch season together. Dirk's last season was Lucas first, and so the way Luca's career began, and then with all the success he had, and how even Dirk would tell you that this guy has a higher ceiling than I did. This guy has a much more NBA ready game, and you see it with you know, in Luka Donsig's first six NBA seasons, he was All NBA five times. You know, Dirk's four first team All NBA selections, those are the only other four in Mavericks franchise history in terms of first team All NBA. So, I mean, it's really like the Mavericks trading Dirk's little brother. And that's why this is so difficult and why it's just this is a heartbroken franchise, a fan base, heartbroken fan base that with the Kyrie Irving injury, now it's just keeping even more heartbreak on a fan base that was already suffering. So it's a situation unlike I've ever seen, honestly, and I've been this is my thirty second season covering the league.

Well, I don't think it's too surprising, honestly, because you know, it's pretty well known that, you know, Mark Cuban was as big a Luca Dogs fan as there was in Dallas.

So it's a situation unlike I've ever seen, honestly, and I've been this is my thirty second season covering the league.

Well, I don't know if this is just a bad rumor that everybody was putting out there, or maybe I believed that any chance that they actually may move the franchise to Vegas, or is that just a bad rumor being stirred up out.

Well, I don't know if this is just a bad rumor that everybody was putting out there, or maybe I believed that any chance that they actually may move the franchise to Vegas, or is that just a bad rumor being stirred up out.

Yes, that is a that is a that is the wildest of conspiracy theories. And you know, I don't know, maybe in our world today, like we look for the conspiracy theory in everything.

Yes, that is a that is a that is the wildest of conspiracy theories. And you know, I don't know, maybe in our world today, like we look for the conspiracy theory in everything.

But.

But.

The Mavericks are a top five market in terms of market size, like the NBA. Let's just let's just if you wanted to play along and pretend that there actually was that that that was the secret plan. The league and the other owners are not going to let that happen. Okay, you can get when there's a when there's a team, when there's an expansion franchise in Vegas. Eventually we know that's a likely outcome. The expansion franchise is going to be worse. You know, the expansion fee is going to be six billion, maybe more. The NBA doesn't need to move a highly successful franchise in Dallas to Vegas when they're going to be able to bring an expansion team in at a very hefty price. So that really is just wild and nonsensical talk that you know. Again, but you know what, I think it's the one thing it does is that this trade was so shocking that maybe, you know, a curmudgeon like me has to accept that people want to think that there has to be some sort of wild story behind it because it was so shocked.

Well, Mark, there was another good one. I heard Mark Stein with us at the Steinlin Words where you find them on Twitter. Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Already in for Jason is that the Adelson's will team up with Lebron for Vegas and Mark Cuban eyes the dip and gets the Mavericks back.

Well, Mark, there was another good one. I heard Mark Stein with us at the Steinlin Words where you find them on Twitter. Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Already in for Jason is that the Adelson's will team up with Lebron for Vegas and Mark Cuban eyes the dip and gets the Mavericks back.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

I wouldn't wait on that one either. Look, I think I think the Adelson and Dumont families have been, you know, very clear about what their you know, business intentions were when they bought the Mavericks from Mark Cuban you know, they know casino gambling is not legal in Texas yet, but you know, their hope is that it will pass eventually, and they're, you know, among the factions leading the drive to try to get gambling legalized. But you know, they want to build a new arena as part of a casino resort, and you know that was really their play and I do think that is still very much their intentions. But you know, I'm a basketball writer. I you know, I I don't I'm not in this to cover development stuff, so I mean, that's not really my focus. And you know, I've been writing and talking about nothing else for nearly forty days because the trade is about that old and I still don't believe it. Like Luka Doncic comes on the TV screen wearing Lakers colors and playing just you know, he's he's really starting to look like full throttle Luca. I mean the way he closed the Knicks out, and you know he and Lebron James and Austin Reeves. I mean that's the thing. The Lakers are small, and it's going to be difficult for them to win a championship without a top flight center, which they obviy don't obviously don't have right now, having given up Anthony Davis to get Luka Doncic. But in today's NBA, and the Mavericks proved this the first time Luca led them to the conference finals when they still had Brunson. When you had Luca and Brunson and then Spencer Dinwitty as the third ballhander like in today's NBA, you know, you can do a lot of damage if you have multiple playmakers, multiple guys who can get their own shot and make plays for others. And the Lakers do have that at an even higher level when you put Luca with Lebron and then Austin Reeves as your third option. So they're going to be undoubtedly just there. Undoubtedly going to be defensive questions about the Lakers. They are a small team, but they are going to cause problems for the opposition because of what those three guys can do with the ball.

You know, Mark, you want to talk about causing problems. I think this could be a really big problem. I'm a basketball snob, so I'm with Boston, I'm with the Lakers. I'm with the Knicks. Cleveland and Oklahoma City are having phenomenal years. Could you imagine what we we'd be talking all NBA if it was the Celtics and the Lakers that had fifty two and fifty three wins. We wouldn't be able to We couldn't get enough for that. But because it's Cleveland and Oklahoma City, we're all snobs to it. We're like, ah, you know, who cares as as long as we get to see the something. So the Lakers there, how do you deal with something like that?

We're like, ah, you know, who cares as as long as we get to see the something. So the Lakers there, how do you deal with something like that?

Well, I do think also some of that is, you know, the trade deadline activity was really a frenzy unlike we've ever seen. And because the Lakers were at the heart of that, and the Warriors were at the heart of that, and you end up with Luka Doncic and Jimmy Butler ending up with new teams and just the effect that has on the Western Conference and the title picture and all those things. I think that's why the focus is on them. But I mean, look, I think you're right to a degree. You know, Cleveland and Oklahoma City are not often described as glamour franchises. I mean, so have they been under the radar, have they been undercovered, have they been slighted? I'm sure they feel that way. I mean, the Cavs have been a ridiculously good story to start fifteen in zero, to have three winning streaks of at least twelve games. Only one other team in league history's done that, the Dallas Mavericks in two thousand and six, two thousand and seven. Now, Cleveland does not want to follow that team's lead on how it did in the playoffs, because of course, that Mavericks team won sixty seven games and then lost in the first round as a number one speed to Golden State. But look, Cleveland and Oklahoma City, the playoffs will be here and we will be talking about those teams a ton, because for all of their remarkable success in the regular season, there are still going to be doubts about what they can do, because that's just what happens in the NBA. We doubt you until you can win on the foremost of stages. There's just no way around it. As great as Yokich's Denver had to hear that noise four years until they finally won it all, and Cleveland's gonna have to go through it, and Oklahoma City is gonna have to go through it. And if the Lakers can get ahead of Steam in the playoffs and play Oklahoma City in the hypothetical Western Conference. It's gonna be fascinating to see how the Thunder, who have a much bigger team if Holdgrin and Hertenstein are healthy. But all the pressure will be on Oklahoma City to live up to the number one seed. And it's ridiculously good. It's regular season, so I think April, May and June we will be talking about we will make it up to the Cavs and the Thunder We'll be talking about them a lot.

I love as you went through the teams and you rope Denver in because I think they're getting to just play in anonymity right now and they're playing the Suns in battling tonight. But we've spent so much time with everybody else, and like Arnie complaining about who we're not talking about that Denver just gets to go do their thing. What's a legitimate ceiling for Golden State? Do you think?

What's a legitimate ceiling for Golden State? Do you think?

I'm a huge Jimmy Butler fan, so I think they can cause a lot of problems in the playoffs too. Now, just like the Lakers, they are very small and if you're in a conference with you know, again, let's assume health for the Thunder in the playoffs. If they've got chet, Holmgren and Hertenstein, they are suddenly a big team, which they weren't a year ago when they lost in the second round to Dallas and Denver. You know, with the Nuggets, you always wonder do they have enough shooting, do they have enough bench? But they do have a lot of Jokic, who is, for me, the best player in the world at this point. I think you should win the MVP. I know there's going to be a lot of people who think Shay Yield just Alexander should Jokic would be my pick. I think this is the best basketball Jokic has ever played. And now that the Nuggets have kind of left their slow start behind and they're going to be a fifty win team, I think Jokic should be the MVP. You've still got to deal with him, and you know, can a Golden State beat Denver in a playoff series as small as they are, can they neutralize Jokics enough? Can they force the ball into the hands of the others and you know, neutralized Jokics to some degree? I mean that that's a big ass But like I said, I just think. I think Jimmy Butler is you know, he really has energized this team already. He's such a smart player. He's completely different to Stephan Curry. He gets free throw, he gets to the rim, he generates free throws. And Okay, the Warriors will be small, but with Draymond Green and James and Jimmy Butler on the floor, they're going to be very smart defensively and very sharp. And I don't think, I don't think anybody really wants to see them in the playoffs, especially because Stephen Curry happens to be on a crazy heater right now too.
