Pei’s masterpiece, either. Kevin even goes on a rant about the city’s lack of direction in general. Brad gives us the latest updates on the Wings, Mavs and Stars, then offers his opinion on whether the Mavs should trade Anthony Davis for pennies on the dollar. [30:04] Kevin and Evan also take another look at the Hoosiers’ win over Miami, cemented by a Carson Beck interception that looked a lot like the one that cinched SMU’s upset of Miami.

Calvin lays out his five big plans for the offseason (Hint: More Pickens; less Eberflus). [25:42] Evan asks if Nico Harrison was the worst GM in Dallas sports history and gets no challengers.
