Monumental Summer Looms For Mavs Now That It's Finally Over

In this episode, Jay, Rohan, Fazal, and Vinay get together to discuss the sad end to the Mavs season, which concluded with a 138-117 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The Mavs finished the season 38-44 as the 11th seed in the Western Conference, missing the playoffs entirely. They discuss the abrupt decision the organization made to tank the last two games of the season, the exaggerated reaction it generated among certain members of the media, and what it means for the Mavs to have an 80% chance of keeping their draft pick this summer, as a result of that decision. They also talk about recent reports that suggest the Mavs may look to trade their draft pick for a more established player, and debate whether such a decision is beneficial to the Mavs in the long term. Finally they also go through some other monumental questions the Mavs face this offseason including re-signing Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić's happiness. To this end, they also recap comments made by Luka in his exit interview where he went out of his way to dispel the notion that he was growing restless in Dallas. Safe to say, this is one of the most important summers in franchise history. This is a public episode.
