Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 1- Show Open, Dusty May Audio, World Cup Break Down
Q: Dusty, what's that adjustment been like after moving into a pro basketball role?
Dusty explains the jump from college to the NBA requires adapting to a longer season, less practice time, and more creative teaching methods through film and one-on-one work; he emphasizes building identity and leveraging a diverse coaching staff to complement players.
Hour 2 - Joe Trahan Head of PR of World Cup Dallas, World Cup Update, Fair or Foul
Q: What does this mean for the future of US Soccer?
The discussion centers on developing domestic pathways, keeping top players in international competition, and ensuring that the next generation has concrete opportunities to grow by playing against top teams and staying engaged with the sport at both club and national levels.
Hour 2 - Joe Trahan Head of PR of World Cup Dallas, World Cup Update, Fair or Foul
Q: What would a win today and obviously continued winning do for the youth movement as far as soccer becoming more and more popularized among young kids in America?
A win would reinforce the idea that the U.S. can compete at the highest level, reinforcing the pathway for youth players through exposure to top talent and the potential for role models like Ronaldo, Baligan, Polisic, and McKinney to inspire the next generation.
7:20 Grant Afseth Joins the Show
Q: Give me a sneaky move that we could see the Mavs making or that you could see happening in the NBA.
A possible move could involve leveraging the roster depth at power forward with players like Santi Aldama and Moraes Johnson to create forward-driven lineups, while keeping an eye on external guard options that fit the current aesthetic; the team may pursue a trade target that adds shooting and wing versatility without sacrificing frontline depth.
Hour 2 - NBA Draft Bigs, Brenden Sorensby Talk, Faddies On the Phone, Mavs Trade For Sergio De Larrea
Q: What are the Mavericks doing with their draft picks and how are they prioritizing players?
The hosts suggest the team is prioritizing size and defense in the two bigs and are looking for a high-upside stash in the late rounds, while acknowledging uncertainty and the long-term value of front-court prospects.
