I don't really view it as a money thing. I mean, Mary Maddison is worth like $32 billion, and I think they're still even in the luxury tax right now. Sure. I think it's more just an experience thing, and I think what you brought up is Patrick Dumont's first experience running this team was, oh my gosh, Nico Harrison makes trades for P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford.

The reaction nationally to that is mixed, and it turns out they're great trades. These trades help us go to the NBA Finals. So one of the first... really key piece of information he gets about Nico Harrison's decision making is, oh, wow, this guy can really read the board. You know, he really sees the board correctly. So, of course, I'm going to trust this guy.

We got to the finals in my first year owning this team. And, you know, I think Nico Harrison has made a lot of good moves as Mavericks GM. It's just this is a situation where it's like, Don't do it like this. And if you're going to do this, you have to get everything. And they didn't get everything.

You know, you got to get Reeves connect multiple first round picks like they didn't even come close.

You can make a lot of good moves. But then if you trade Babe Ruth, like it's a different story. Right. I mean, look, I know there there was that quote from Jason Kidd. What was said postgame or what's the feeling like after the game? You know, from the Mavericks perspective after this, it was just a very bizarre and awesome basketball game from the Lakers.

Yeah, I would say two things mostly. That was the messaging from the Mavericks. Number one, huge respect to Luka. I mean, Jason Kidd said you have to tip your hat to him. There was a moment after the game where Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic hugged at midcourt that I thought was a cool moment.

You know, right after that game, I asked AD about it in the locker room afterwards, and he was basically like... Yes, we kind of did go through similar things that neither of us asked for this, but really it was a respect thing. I just think that greatness respects greatness, and that was kind of what that was about. And there was frustration, too.
