00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.559
It is time to believe your worries outside and laugh
2
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.320
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley along with
3
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:38.640
Trey Trenholm and Raj Sharma on Tuesday, February fourth, two
4
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:46.399
thousand and five. In case you missed the biggest news
5
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:52.000
story over the weekend, and I did intentionally ignore it
6
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:59.439
on yesterday's show, the Dallas Mavericks created Luka Duncic to
7
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.479
the Lakers on Sunday in a move that has shocked
8
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:12.079
and surprised fans, and some of the fans are not happy.
9
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:13.879
I frankly don't care.
10
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.760
Why is that? Why did you? Why do you not
11
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.640
care about the biggest news out of Dallas For a
12
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.599
very long time, I.
13
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.599
Would care about the biggest news out of Dallas, but
14
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.959
this is not new news in Dallas. One of the
15
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.400
four major sports franchipe son of a bitch, I can't talk,
16
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.359
one of the four major sports franchises in Dallas is
17
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.760
again trying to piss me off as a sports fan,
18
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.200
and I'm not having it anymore.
19
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:42.640
Oh I'm tired of it.
20
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.519
I'm tired of being let on, I'm tired of being bamboozled, hoodwinked.
21
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.040
Rick Schad slam, doozled, or whatever other dumb nineteen twenties
22
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.000
flapper words come to mind.
23
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.680
I thought you were going on like a Malcolm Dan
24
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.920
Rant I would if I knew the rest of the speech.
25
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.000
I hate to say it. More and more I've read
26
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.719
about it, thought about it. I understand why they did it.
27
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.520
We didn't land on Luca Luca landing on us.
28
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.520
Everyone everyone loves Luca, and I get it. But in
29
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.280
Dallas I think there's a they want him to be
30
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.680
Dirk he is not. And two, everyone has forgotten how
31
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.360
bad he was in the playoffs last year, especially in
32
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.919
the finals. If you give me the number one reason
33
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.319
why we got our ass whipped by Boston is Luca's.
34
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.919
Defense, because he was also injured, though when he was
35
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:36.560
playing through it.
36
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:41.479
He's never played defense. His defense sucks. That's liability.
37
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.400
I think that is an interesting angle on this entire
38
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.759
situation is MAVs general manager Nico Harrison comes out and
39
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.639
says one of the main reasons why they made the
40
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.879
trade is because he believes defense wins championships. And I
41
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.919
think that's laughable because barely anyone in the NBA place
42
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.840
defense anymore. The referees barely even referee anymore. So that's
43
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.639
why I don't care. I care that there's another sports
44
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.919
franchise in town that is doing its damnedest to disappoint me.
45
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.439
And I'm sure the Cowboys are glad to no longer be,
46
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.439
you know, solely in that barrel, because in the blink
47
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.280
of an eye, in the matter of one news story,
48
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.919
the MAVs may have shot to the top of the
49
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.639
list of least favorite sports franchise in the DFW.
50
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.599
And I feel matt for Antonio Davis who's coming in
51
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:34.159
the trade.
52
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.840
I don't feel bad for him. He's an uber millionaire.
53
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.360
He's barely had to play for any of.
54
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.479
It, I know, But I mean, he's he's an outstanding player.
55
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.599
But I saw the stat over the weekend he's made
56
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:48.360
over one hundred and twenty three million dollars while riding
57
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:53.159
the bench due to injury. Yeah, I'm sorry, my overall
58
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.759
sports fan cynicism is coming full.
59
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:57.960
No, I just I mean, to come to a city
60
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.319
that literally hated the idea of you coming here for
61
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.159
them trading Luca, like, that's just got to be you know,
62
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.159
you're gonna walk into that arena and you gotta play.
63
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.120
You know, you got to play the game. And there's
64
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.800
gonna be people in the stands that are booing you.
65
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.759
Nah, they'll have one good game, they'll be fine.
66
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.639
But yeah, a couple of good games, I think they'll
67
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:19.000
be fine.
68
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.120
Here here's the other thing. Uh, and you read the numbers.
69
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.920
I understand why the MAVs did it. Like Luca was
70
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.399
his max contract with Dallas I think was five three
71
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.879
forty five mm hm. He goes to Lakers, his max
72
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:37.839
deal is five and like two thirty twenty nine. It's
73
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.040
one hundred and like sixteen seventeen million dollar difference that
74
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.519
and who knows, they may La may sign him and
75
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.839
we may get them back. It may have been a
76
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.959
rental player for a year. Well, you know lebron le
77
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.600
broun Man, you know, messes with his lineup. See if
78
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:55.800
he can't get one more title.
79
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.680
If that is, if that is what the MAVs have
80
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:04.680
up their sleeve as their goal, and they've maybe done
81
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.000
something underneath the table to strategize this with Luca. Say look,
82
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.000
here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna piss everybody off,
83
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:12.959
and we need you to play the part. You go
84
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.800
to La and you be and you be kind of
85
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.279
pissy about it for a little bit, but you're gonna
86
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.560
play in La You're gonna have fun. And meanwhile, what
87
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.800
we're doing is we're stalking your team for you. That's
88
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.000
what we're doing. It's just gonna take a little little
89
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.040
bit more to do it. So we're gonna we're gonna
90
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.160
send you away to get these guys, and then we're
91
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:30.800
gonna bring you back with a bunch of money. You
92
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.759
cool with that, uh, dough boy okay? Cool?
93
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:34.519
Yeah?
94
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.800
Yeah. And then they were talking about like his conditioning
95
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.600
and his uh you know, serious weight gain and things
96
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.480
like that. I understand that as well, but uh, I
97
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.360
don't know if it's necessarily uh the brightest move when
98
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.519
it comes to how disappointed the fans in this town
99
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.040
are already of the cowboys, like we've had it, Like
100
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:55.920
that was enough. Like when you saw like he had
101
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.439
to release a statement, Nico Harris had to release some
102
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.879
smaller statement like they've had. It's been very vocal.
103
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.720
Well it's it hasn't always been like there have been
104
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.199
problems with Luca. Yes, one of the things his off season,
105
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.600
you know, lack of working out. He shows up to
106
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:18.800
you know, camp.
107
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.240
Fluffy mm hmm uh.
108
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:23.879
You know it's it.
109
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.600
Really does bottle the mind. It really does boggle the mind.
110
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:32.279
How a professional athlete basketball no less, can you know,
111
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.399
do that much running in the course of a game
112
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.759
and and still be that soft looking.
113
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.560
Yeah. I was watching a thing on Dennis Rodman the
114
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.480
other night and he would go to the bar, uh
115
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.240
and Michael Jordan said it was the most uncanny thing
116
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.279
he'd ever seen. He'd have like forty shots at Eggermeister
117
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.079
and then the next morning he's in the gym at
118
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.279
six am, he said, quote running like a gazelle and
119
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.199
it didn't phase him. And Rodman was quoted on He's like, yeah,
120
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.759
my diet was bad, my drinkling was bad, I was smoking,
121
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.720
and I'm still winning championships. So he's like, I had
122
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.560
to give it up because it scared me, And I
123
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:10.920
get it.
124
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.879
That may be part of the reason why everyone loves
125
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.920
Luke is because a bunch of us, a bunch of
126
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.319
us watching the game can can see ourselves in him
127
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.920
because we may have seen him next to us in
128
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.480
line at CC's before the game.
129
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.199
Yeah, but I mean still, he's a professional athlete, is
130
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.000
six ' eight, I think so even if he is
131
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.040
to seventy, Like, yeah, that's a little doe. But at
132
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.160
that high. If I was too seventy, he'd be like Roger,
133
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.720
there's a problem. Yeah, but he's six 's eight to
134
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.000
seventies is passable.
135
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.680
But so Trey, you're on board with a Luca trade.
136
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.759
I understand, like why everyone's upset, But like I said,
137
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.079
I understand why they did it. I especially when you
138
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.759
look at the at the numbers and everything else, and
139
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.120
I don't know if he is the cornerstone piece to
140
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.360
win a championship. He's not Dirk. I think that is
141
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.360
the biggest thing is everyone wants him to be Dirk.
142
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.519
He is not Dirk. Dirk was a generational player.
143
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:19.519
Barring some mastermind level subterfuge to trade him, get players back,
144
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.120
and then resign him when he becomes a free agent
145
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.000
back to the MAVs, therefore stalking the team for him.
146
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.399
If that's not the reason that they're doing it, which
147
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:35.960
would be unlikely, then it really is a huge gamble
148
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:43.039
for the MAVs. But it does show that they don't believe,
149
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.679
they don't have any belief in Luca as a generational
150
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:47.799
player the way the fans do.
151
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.639
I mean, look, at the team right now. They're twenty
152
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.360
six and twenty four. They're very middle of the road.
153
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.159
And yes, they got to the finals last year, but
154
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:05.960
they got their ass whooped, and I think Denver had
155
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:07.879
already been knocked out. I don't remember their road to
156
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.360
the finals, but it's to me, there's nothing I mean.
157
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.759
And if you're old as old as we are, I
158
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.000
hate to say it, but the MAVs have been good
159
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.080
for about a five year window in our lives. Other
160
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.159
than that, they've been a very mediocre franchise and we're.
161
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.480
Still riding that five year wave.
162
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:32.240
Baby, Hey listen. I when the Rangers won a World Series,
163
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.200
that was the one. There are two things I really
164
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.840
never didn't know if I'd ever see in my lifetime.
165
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.039
So I've seen Cowboys, seen the Stars, saw the Mavericks.
166
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.000
I didn't know if I'd ever see the Rangers win
167
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.840
a World Series. I've seen Texas win a national championship.
168
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:50.799
Was there. I don't think I'll ever see Texas basketball
169
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.720
win a national championship when the NCAA, but the Rangers
170
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.840
in Texas basketball were the two things I really never
171
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.960
thought i'd see. Saw the Rangers win a World Series.
172
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:03.480
It was a glorifying, just glorious moment, just washed away
173
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:10.320
all the pain of twenty eleven. So I'm I'm I'm good.
174
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.200
Yeah, I mean, you just got to understand that, you know,
175
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:23.200
Luca has no what's his name blackman? Once you get
176
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:23.720
around that.
177
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.720
Who was the mass player that was such a problem.
178
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:39.840
Oh uh, it wasn't Tarpley. Wasn't, yes, Roy, Yeah, wasn't
179
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.320
he just beating people up, like getting bars and stuff.
180
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.159
He would just get like outrageous, blackout drunk and beat
181
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.240
the crap out of people. And they're like, and.
182
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.519
I believe he failed a couple drug tests.
183
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.480
Roy Tarpley was one of the few athletes that when
184
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.440
he walked into a Dallas Cowboys party, all the cowboys go, whoa,
185
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.000
that guy doesn't give any drugs.

COOKDFW dot com. Daniel, we were talking on the show
192
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.120
recently about the Cowboys new head coach and Trey is
193
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.039
not on board with it. He thinks all hope is lost.
194
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.840
How do you feel as a as a fellow Cowboys fan?
195
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.000
Dan, You know, I mean, honestly, I'm I'm disappointed in
196
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.440
a lot of things that the Cowboys do. And Jerry Jones,
197
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.480
I know, Trey is it. I mean, he's basically say
198
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:51.039
it's a dumpster fire the size of the Los Angeles wildfires.
199
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.639
And I mean I was listening to him, and I
200
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:55.360
agree with a lot of stuff he's saying. I think
201
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.000
there are a great marketing and they make a ton
202
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.080
of money, and I don't think the operations of the
203
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.200
football team are the best. But I'm gonna stay loyal.
204
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.039
I mean, I don't know anything. I mean, this is
205
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.600
what I've grown up with. I've grown up with every team,
206
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:10.919
and so we've had.
207
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.679
Some really bad years and we haven't been good in
208
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:13.600
thirty years.
209
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.240
But I mean it's fun to go. They do put
210
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:17.840
on a good show. I'm not gonna go to a
211
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.559
game though. I'm not gonna go to a game. What
212
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.120
I am gonna do, though, is for the audience. If
213
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.399
they win the Super Bowl next year, We're gonna give
214
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.440
away a free total roof.
215
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.480
Replacement to someone. That's what I'm gonna do.
216
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.519
That's how loyal of the fan I'm gonna be if
217
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.440
they win. When they win the Super Bowl next year,
218
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.840
we're gonna give away a brand new roof, free roof man,
219
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.360
free roof when the Cowboys win the Super Bowl twenty
220
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:40.480
twenty six.
221
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.320
That's well, a good way to see if you can
222
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.600
get entered into that situation is to call Daniel Cook
223
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.320
now to get up to get in there and say, hey,
224
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.320
if the Cowboys do win that I want that free
225
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.320
roof to be on my house. Eight three three Cook

Yeah he was.
241
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.559
He was the SMU of the NBA, and that he
242
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.720
basically got the death penalty in ninety five where they
243
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.440
banned him from the league permanently because of so many
