StrongSide 33: No Aggregation Zone with Tim MacMahon

Guest: Tim MacMahon of ESPN and The Hoop CollectiveThe new head coach of the Dallas Mavericks is… Dusty May? The Michigan guy? We’ll talk to Tim MacMahon shortly about why May and how this came together, but for now, what’s your take on Jason Kidd’s replacement?So that’s the coach. But how do May and Masai Ujiri and Mike Schmitz want to build this roster? We’ve got our first glimpses on Tuesday, when the Mavs took Morez Johnson. Do you like it, and what do we think should be next?A lot of stuff is happening in hockey right now, and as more players come off the board, the harder it becomes to ignore Jason Robertson’s situation. As a refresher, Robertson is a restricted free agent who needs a new contract. The Stars have reportedly offered 8 years at $12 million annually, which is the Mikko Rantanen deal. Robertson is reportedly looking for around $14 million annually. Dallas would need to free up cap room to do either number. If another team signs Robertson to a deal and Dallas doesn’t match, they get four first-round picks to be awarded over the next five drafts. So with all of that in mind: you getting nervous about going Robo going elsewhere? And what number makes you nervous if he stays?Hey, you went to the World Cup last week! What was that experience like? 00:43 - 13:27 Mavs hire Michigan HC Dusty May13:28 - 34:05 Mavs draft Morez Johnson and 9th overall34:06 - 50:53 Will Jason Robertson get a new deal in Dallas?50:54 -01:23:32 Tim MacMahon of ESPN and the Hoop Collective—-------------------Like and subscribe to our channel if you enjoy StrongSide.If you'd like to read even more great journalism about Dallas sports then please consider subscribing to D Magazine at dmagazine.comSubscribe to the StrongSide newsletter for weekly updates on the sports happenings in Dallas https://www.dmagazine.com/site/newsletters/Studio: Haymaker Studio in FriscoProducer: Averie Luna,Matt Czizek and Julian DeanHosts: Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall
