MAVS MEDIA DAY: Flagg Hype, D-Live Growth, AD's Eyewear & MUCH MORE!

On this episode, Dalton Trigg (@dalton_trigg) and Matt Galatzan (@MattGalatzan) talk about another disappointing Mavs free agency (so far) and how the team got to point of waiting multiple days for a decision from Danny Green, who is, in turn, waiting on Kawhi Leonard's decision. Will the Mavs be able to salvage this free agency by signing Danny Green and/or helping a team with a salary dump trade? The guys go over the options they have left, plus talk about some of the bright points so far as well (Seth Curry and BOBAN). Thanks for listening! Learn more about your ad choices.

Ronzone tells a fantastic story about how he got to where he's at now with the Mavs. From there, he talks with the guys about scouting Luka Doncic from a young age, having known Kristaps Porzingis and his family for a while now, and a brief scouting report on a few players Mavs' fans might want to keep an eye on during the NBA Draft on Thursday, June 20th with the 37th pick.

Dalton Trigg (@dalton_trigg) and Matt Galatzan (@MattGalatzan) are back with... you guessed it... even more Kemba Walker talk, given some recent speculation from a Charlotte Observer writer who thinks the Hornets should pass on paying him the super max. This is a scenario the guys have discussed ever since it was announced that Kemba made All-NBA 3rd Team, and if it comes to pass, it leaves the door open for 'Kemba to Dallas' to become a reality. From there, the guys talk about a Mavs / D'Angelo Russell 'exclusive exclusive' from Mike Fisher, a three-way trade idea that would land Blake Griffin with the Mavs, salary dump ideas with the OKC Thunder and Dirk Nowitzki's celebrity baseball game. Oh yeah... and a special Anchor Voice Message from Hank Hill. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dalton Trigg (@dalton_trigg) and Matt Galatzan (@MattGalatzan) welcome back one of The Step Back's favorite guests, Mike Fisher (@fishsports), to talk about a number of different Dallas Mavericks topics, including: Dwight Powell's player option (and how the Yahoo report of him opting out earlier in the week was false), a DallasBasketball.com "Exclusive, Exclusive!" in regards to what the Mavs hope to do with Courtney Lee, a hypothetical trade which would see the Mavs end up with both Kemba Walker and Hassan Whiteside, and another trade scenario that works on the court... but could end up intertwining Luka Doncic and the Kardashians (which none of us want).

Dalton Trigg (@dalton_trigg) and Matt Galatzan (@MattGalatzan) watch the NBA Draft Lottery live and give their reactions to the Dallas Mavericks yet again not being favored by the ping pong balls.

In the second half of this episode, the guys welcome on Richard Stayman (@MavsDraft) to discuss a ton of different names for the Mavs to target with the 37th pick in the second round of the NBA Draft in June.
