Will and Jaren discuss the rigid dichotomy between the Mavericks keeping their pick or it conveying to the New York Knicks as the NBA Draft Lottery is set to ensue tonight (5/16) at 7:00 PM CT on TNT. They divulge into players that may be available in the Mavericks range if they are to keep their pick, pose the question if the Mavericks should trade their pick or not, talk about if the pick somehow lands inside the top 4, and much much more. Lastly they stress just how important this night is for the Mavericks as a franchise as it could potentially steer them back on course after a very derailed season.

Will and Jaren decipher the late season comments Mark Cuban made in pre-game media availability a month back ago in the 3rd to last game of the regular season against the Sacramento Kings and talk about the validity of his claim versus Jalen Brunson's camp's claim in regards to the merit and reasoning as to why Jalen Brunson left Dallas as well as some of the details surrounding his departure. They then get heavily into a variety of divisive topics that they handpicked from Tim Cato's recent article on The Athletic such as, "How fractured is the Christian Wood situation in Dallas?", "What options do the Mavericks have if they retain their top 10 protected draft pick?", and "What will happen to the stability of this franchise if Kyrie Irving leaves the Mavericks this offseason?", along with much more from the article before wrapping up the podcast in a very pessimistic sort of fashion after pin pointing just how important this offseason is for the Mavericks.

Will and Jaren have a provocative conversation with the infamous Chris, AKA @MVPLuka77 (FIRE MARK CUBAN is his handle) from Twitter for a more light hearted episode. They get into his insane year as a season ticket holder that has included run ins with security, getting kicked out of games, partying it up with Slovenians, and much more. Will and Jaren wanted to give Chris the opportunity to tell his story and to change the perspective around him a little as he is a genuine down to earth guy who can very clearly separate his passion at games with real life and they feel as if there have been some misconceptions around him this year. He has a lot of cool stories in this one as a devout lifelong NBA fan and newfound Mavs fan and its definitely one of the more 'funner' podcasts will and Jaren have done and they hope to have Chris back on the show at some point! Y'all enjoy the episode!
