In this episode we discuss the blockbuster trade that sent Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic in exchange for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, and four 1st round picks. We talk about how this brings back painful memories from the Luka Dončić trade and how it’s yet another example of how the Mavs didn’t maximize the return from their best asset.

We then discuss the recent reports around the Mavericks coaching staff, which started with Jason Kidd being linked to the New York Knicks. Since then, it’s been reported by Marc Stein that several important Mavs assistants are drawing interest from other teams. We talk about what this means for the franchise as they get ready to host presumptive #1 overall pick Cooper Flagg for a visit this week.
