Chapter 2: What insights does Tim MacMahon provide about the NBA Draft?
uh that's a that's a great question um i wouldn't say running from michigan maybe running from college basketball but uh you know clearly he had interest in jumping to the nba uh the mavericks was the opportunity that presented itself and look there's a lot of work to be done with this mavericks roster but
There is really significant appeal in being the head coach in Dallas, and that's primarily for one reason. They have a guy to build around. They hope for the next generation. And now I'm obviously talking about Cooper Flagg, a 19-year-old who has MVP type of potential, who has perennial potential. all-NBA type potential. They have the toughest piece to find already in place.
And so, you know, for that reason, plus they have an owner who's willing to pay, this was an attractive job to coaches. NBA teams try to model themselves after the Knicks with them. I don't know if it's necessarily a copycat league, but, and how would you even copy what the Knicks were able to do with that roster?
Yeah, I mean, obviously, anytime a team wins a championship, other franchises are going to study that and going to see if there's things that they can emulate. But the biggest piece there is Jalen Brunson, and I don't know how you emulate that. I don't know how.
Look, when the Knicks signed him to a four-year, $104 million contract, the general reaction was, oh, my gosh, I can't believe how much they overpaid. And it was a silly reaction at the time because it was like Adams starting point guard money.
But nobody with the Knicks thought they were getting a pretty all NBA player, you know, a finals MVP player, a guy who's going to drop 45 in a title clinching game. And so he's exceeded all their internal expectations. And then I also so finding that guy, having him just blossom and continue to get better and better and better.
i don't know how you emulate that and i also don't know how you emulate having the face of your franchise leave 113 million dollars on the table so you can fill out the rest of the of the roster i i don't think that's going to be a trend well tim there's millions and millions of knicks fans who knew that jalen brunson was going to be this great it was everybody else all the members of the media we're the ones who didn't realize this
Nobody loves Jalen Brunson more than his dad, Rick, and Rick will be the first one to tell you. I thought he was going to be good. I didn't know he was going to be this great. So the rest of them, they know him better than his own dad does. Well, Jay Wright came out, and even when I had him on after the season, he said, I didn't think he was a one.
I thought he might be a two or a three for a team. So here's your college coach. He didn't think you would be this great. Right, and this guy, he has been underestimated, obviously, his entire career. I mean, he was the NCAA Player of the Year on a championship team his last year at Villanova and slipped into the second round.
