DLLS Dallas Mavericks Podcast

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard

 

The Masai Ujiri era has officially begun for the Dallas Mavericks. What can the Mavs (and Mavs fans) learn from Ujiri’s tenure with the Toronto Raptors regarding vibes, teambuilding, basketball strategy, scouting and drafting, and more? The Athletic’s Esfandiar Baraheni and ALLCITY’s Tim Cato join the DLLS Mavs crew to discuss those questions and more. Plus, we quickly look back at some Mavs role players’ seasons, bask in the improved vibes, and do a Tankathon spin, live on YouTube.

**Editor's note: this was recorded Monday morning before the Masai Ujiri hired as Mavs Team President news broke. In fact, you hear our reaction to the news breaking near the end of this episode. To get our full one-hour plus Masai discussion check out our emergency podcast episode here: https://dlls-dallas-mavericks-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/breaking-dallas-mavericks-hire-masai-ujiri-as-team-president-dlls-mavs-podcast **

Before the breaking news, we discussed Kyrie Irving. The Dallas Mavericks superstar point guard should be back for opening night next season. Will he be on the Mavs? We hope so. If he is, and if he’s feeling good, just how big of an offensive and leadership boost would he provide for a team that’s missed the playoffs two years in a row without him? The DLLS Mavs crew explores that question. We also visit with our friends from Big Brothers Big Sisters at their golf tournament fundraiser in Castle Hills.

3:45 - Discussing Kyrie's return from injury and his future

17:53 - Bryan Cooper of Big Brothers Big Sisters joins to discuss their golf fundraiser, being a "Big" and some NBA talk

32:17 - Jamahl Mosley fired by the Magic, current front office openings, Jaylen Brown complains about officials on a Twitch stream and we discuss some fake trades

46:12 - BBBS Regional Board member Nick Crain joins to discuss the golf fundraiser and his NBA thoughts

57:11 - THE MAVS HIRING MASAI NEWS BREAKS
