The Mismatch
Luka’s Laker Debut, Mavs Karma, Depressing Magic Free Fall, and Better Off Without Mark Williams?
11 Feb 2025
Verno and Jacoby recap Luka Doncic’s Laker debut and explain how Luka and LeBron can successfully coexist (00:46). Mark Williams is headed back to the Hornets after the Lakers failed his physical, but the guys debate whether the failed deal could actually be beneficial to the Lakers (08:10). They then discuss the massive amount of bad luck that Mavs have gotten since trading away Luka (22:53), and how Jimmy Butler has impacted Steph Curry and the Warriors since his arrival in the Bay Area (31:17). Next, Verno shares why he was extremely impressed by the Thunder after they blew out the Grizzlies over the weekend, as well as the disappointing free fall from the Magic (38:32). Finally, the guys applaud Hubie Brown for calling his last game at 91 years old, Jacoby shares why he’s a fan of the Clippers signing Ben Simmons, and more possible Joel Embiid excuses (54:36).
