Mark Cuban trolls Nico Harrison for the Luca trade After a video of the former Mavericks GM Nico Harrison, waiting for a commercial flight started to make his rounds. Cuban shared it on Instagram. Caption. The old clipping. He did the talking. Trading. Luca made you go from a private jet to public airlines.
Joe Johnson
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Chad Ochocinco
So once. Once. He lost his position. That means he no longer has access to the private jet no more.
Shannon Sharpe
Hell no.
Joe Johnson
No, they fired him. O. Joe, what you want me to do?
Chad Ochocinco
I'm just asking.
Joe Johnson
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. That's like. That's like a girl you dated. You. You break up with her, but she still call you. Hey, can you still fly my mama and daddy out here to.
Shannon Sharpe
What you saying, Ocho? I see. Exactly.
Chad Ochocinco
No, not to play with me like that, but I'm. I'm just. I'm just saying, you know, I mean, it's messed up. It's messed up, but, hey, I mean, that.
Joe Johnson
That.
Chad Ochocinco
That. That kind of hurt, having to go from, you know, private jester.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, they.
Joe Johnson
They heard, too.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, they heard because they ain't got Luca. You see What. Luca averaging 35 points a game. 34. Almost 35 points a game. They hurt, too. Bowling. And you and Cooper. Flag might be great, and he might. And he's on his way. But Luca. He ain't Luca right now.
Joe Johnson
Nah.
Shannon Sharpe
Before he beat Luca, I. I know
Joe Johnson
we look at this situation and we all give Nico. We give him hell behind it, but I think. I think Luca needed this. He. He needed. He needed to change the scenery, fellas. Yeah, I know. Nobody I know. I know. Especially the Mavericks fans, they didn't want to see him go, but, you know, he just looked way too comfortable in that environment, and I think he needed to be a little uncomfortable, a little, you know, un at ease to where he goes into a different situation knowing he got to put up a shut up. Like, I mean, he's shutting everybody up right now for sure.
Shannon Sharpe
But look, I get it, but look, ain't no way he made this trade without Dumal. That's falling off on it.
Chad Ochocinco
That was a fault he had. He had to take the fall for it, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
He did. And I. And it looks to me maybe Nico had cut Mark out of the situation. I don't know, because he seemed to be back in right now.
Joe Johnson
Well, I think he sold. I think he sold. He did.
Shannon Sharpe
He sold a majority. He sold a majority to the Alderson's. Right?
Joe Johnson
So.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
So my Thing is with you selling the majority to another, you know, somebody else. Like, how are you still not involved to the point to where you don't. You don't know about the Luca trade. I don't. Mark can't get. Ain't gonna fool me. Okay, with your thinking. He know nothing about the trade now.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, I mean, you know, you hear reports that. That Nico had cut him out and, you know, they had started to move away from him. I don't know. I don't. I don't know, Joe. I just know a trade of this magnitude, you running that up the flagpole, that ain't no Nico doing this on his own. Now, if. Now the only thing I will say, Joe, you got to open this thing up. I got to get more. I got to get more than Anthony Davis, a pick, and Max Christie.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, well, I think. I think due to unforeseen circumstances, Kyrie getting hurt because they envisioned all this working okay. Kyrie ad. You know, I mean, they ain't envisioned getting no number one pick, getting no Cooper flag. They thought what they had would get them back to the finals.
Chad Ochocinco
Right.
Joe Johnson
That's what they thought.
Shannon Sharpe
But also, he had to be careful because you start putting it out there, I'm surprised because they reached out to the Timberwolves, they reached out to the Bucks about Ant man and about Giannis, and they said no. So this came out of the woodwork. There was no. There was no potential trade rumors. You didn't hear anything. And that's maybe why Nico and. And Rob work hand in hand. Like, hey, we. We've got to until this thing is done. Rob probably told Genie. Genie, I got working on something big. You got to trust me on this.
Joe Johnson
They probably hurry up and pull the trick.
Shannon Sharpe
He messed up. Come on, Mark, stall him out now. Yeah, but, hey, them TSA lines hit different when you used to ride private.
Joe Johnson
Oh, we. Especially now, boy.
Shannon Sharpe
O Joe. Joe. It's time to play a fade. Presented by prize picks. KAWHI Leonard, 24 and a half points. More or less than 24 and a half.

Chad Ochocinco
No, I went. I went to the private airport right here in Cincinnati.
Shannon Sharpe
Exactly. That's my point. Thank you. Now it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, Joe, what's that? Hey, I heard the numbers on what people got to pay for them all for the private flights,

I'm buying some hours in a private jet.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, sure.
Shannon Sharpe
For sure. And it ain't gonna be every time I fly. I'm flying private, but I'm gonna have a couple, you know? You know what I'm saying? You know?
Joe Johnson
Hey, hey, hey, hey. He might even get introduced to the Mile High Club.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, ain't no question about it. Ain't no. Absolutely. That's happening. It's absolutely happening. I might. I. I might even just have to do that just to do that.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah. I can't do it. I can't do it. I hear y'. All. I hear you.
Shannon Sharpe
I might even have to do that just to do that. Before we get to the super chats, we got some video voicemails from our discourse. Here's our first one. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. What's up, Uncle O?
Chad Ochocinco
Show love listening to y'.
Shannon Sharpe
All. Show love what y' all doing.
Chad Ochocinco
I'm currently at work. Guys keep me safe all the time, man. I'm driving these big trucks and guys have me staying up all the time whenever I'm falling asleep or getting close to it.
Shannon Sharpe
Currently doing my job.
Chad Ochocinco
But I just want to say thank you for all for always being there. Enjoy the show.
Shannon Sharpe
Laugh all the time.
Joe Johnson
That's what's up. Yeah, that's. No, it made like he up in Canada somewhere.
Chad Ochocinco
I bet he probably in Alaska somewhere, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, it look like he up in Canada. Ocho.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. Yeah, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Thank you. That's a real work for.
Joe Johnson
Hey, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey.
Joe Johnson
Jeez, that's some real.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't want no job working in the cold. I mean, give it a choice. Give me the heat over the cold.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah,
Shannon Sharpe
Give me the heat anyway. But thank you, bro. I appreciate. We appreciate the support. Here's our second one. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, Mr. Sharp. Hey, Mr. Johnson. Hey, King.
Joe Johnson
ISO
Chad Ochocinco
question for tonight is, can you talk to us about a time if you've ever been friend zoned and how
Shannon Sharpe
did you find out. Oh, that's a good one.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, I've been friends on a lot.
Shannon Sharpe
You have?
Chad Ochocinco
What, based on. Based on reputation. Oh, absolutely. Oh, I'm not dealing.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't been the whole. Yo, no, I ain't never been in the friend zone.
Joe Johnson
I ain't either. Hey, hey, hey. I'm like a sniper. I ain't gonna lie, boy. If I'm trying to get something, I'm gonna snipe it. I'm. I'm probably gonna.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
I mean.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
And I don't. I. I don't think friend zone is the right word, because once. Once there's a. A sign or any sign of no interest, I'm. I'm done. I consider that friend zone. And I don't even. I only pursue after that.
Shannon Sharpe
But I'm just trying to figure out how you figure. I mean, how to even get to the point that they got to be interest.
Chad Ochocinco
If you. If you see someone and you initiate and they. The. The initiation and the interest is not reciprocated. That's. That's friend zone.
Shannon Sharpe
You did that? Oh, y'. All before that. That. Hold on. I know they. Ocho the 85.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
You shot your shot.
Shannon Sharpe
That's a lot.
Chad Ochocinco
It happened before. And this. And this one. This one I was playing, too.
Joe Johnson
I'm telling you.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, man.
Joe Johnson
Hey, hold up, Ocho. You shot your shop talking about she flat SWAT that thing out of there.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah. Hey, she.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, she doing not in the house of a tumble.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, I don't want none of them problems.
Joe Johnson
Damn.
Shannon Sharpe
She must see.
Joe Johnson
Hey, she's seen your reputation, seeing you
Chad Ochocinco
a player, player, word of mouth, like. Oh, I don't want none of them problems. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, I. I'll be tripping because, you know, everybody that turned me down, they still searching. They still searching.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm sorry, Ocho.
Chad Ochocinco
Ain't a bad thing, huh? Ain't it? Ain't a bad thing because I say the same thing. Okay, no problem, sis. Because whatever it is you think you're gonna find, I. 10, 10, 11, 12 years from now, they still going through the same thing.
Shannon Sharpe
You ain't. You ain't. You ain't. Circle back.
Chad Ochocinco
Circle back. Who? But I don't make no U turn, boy, unless I'm in the car. I don't play them games.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, Ocho, you got it just like one time, like.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, you thought I don't make no U turns unless I'm in the car. Good. I'm gonna be second option. Oh, man, please. Oh, my bad.
Shannon Sharpe
Excuse Me?
Joe Johnson
But look, you ain't mind playing number two, though, huh? You didn't mind playing number two.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, Joe. Number two ain't got to spend no money. Number two don't have to deal with the arguments. Number two don't have to deal with the headaches.
Joe Johnson
What number hey, what?
Shannon Sharpe
Number two?
Chad Ochocinco
Number two is that peace? Number two is that get to hear about number one, and all you get to do is have your fun and then get to go back home. Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
You're right about that, Ocho. If it holds you now, you right.
Chad Ochocinco
That's true.
Shannon Sharpe
You right. Hey, you'll never be wrong when you're right.
Joe Johnson
Hey, hey, hey. So basically, what y' all saying is number two ain't doing nothing but trampolining.
Chad Ochocinco
Man, who you took, Joe? Ah, you ain't got to do nothing, Joe. He paying for everything. You ain't got to pay for nothing.
Joe Johnson
You just.
Chad Ochocinco
And, you know, he called on the phone and she tell him, oh, baby, I'm sleep and all. I destroyed her every light in the book.
Joe Johnson
Hey, hey, and that's what. That's what make it hard to commit, too. Cause you done seen so much. You've seen so much. I'm talking about being on the other side to where you see the girl calling her boyfriend, talking, you know, and you like, man, ain't no way in hell they could be me.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, listen, that's what.
Joe Johnson
Hey, that's what had you be out here acting like a savage.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, Joe.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, FaceTime. I'm laying side to bed, my back hurting. Hey, it is. It. It's tough, man. It's tough out here, man. You just accept the fact. Yeah, my grandpa said, hey, everybody has somebody.

Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, you got. You got it.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. Even though you may. Even though you may like her at first, you don't. You don't really get at all. Yeah, I mean, you just trying to fill out the situation. You feel me?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. How they talking?
Joe Johnson
Yeah, I could. What type of. What type. What type of real.
Shannon Sharpe
You could, though. You could date me then, huh?
Joe Johnson
Yeah. Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, I was at the gas. I was pumping gas. My problems. I was in my. How old Was I probably about 30? Probably about 36, 37. So, you know, I was. Just came from the gym. So, you know your boy's swole now. Yeah, yeah, man, I'm talking about, you know, shirt tighter than skin on the grape. Boy, look at here. I'm telling you, I was right. And so, boy, she. Ooh. I don't know if she had just come from work, but I'm telling you, she's tougher than wet leather. And I just kept looking. I'm looking at her, I was like, damn, boy, I sure hope she say something. I'm looking. She said, you just gonna look, or you gonna come up here and ask me for my number?

Shannon Sharpe
That's all on the ground. I put 50 in my car. Another 50 on the. On the ground. Let me holler you right quick.
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, Joe. And you know, you know, the funny thing about it, too, at Joe get older despite the experiences. Right. No. Despite the. The situations we've been in, when you've been the other guy, you still take that chance.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, for sure.
Chad Ochocinco
You still take that chance anyway, even. Even knowing how ugly it gets on the other side.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
But what I. What I. What I do do is. Is I pay attention to the finest details. I'm very detailing everything. I pay attention to everything. Mannerisms, body language, your routine.
Shannon Sharpe

Shannon Sharpe
Clifford Busby. I keep telling y', all, uncle no Cho ISO put some respect on Illinois name. Go a line out Final four. Yeah, they going. I did not see the. Hey, maybe we should have because they were two seed. Wasn't Illinois a two seed or three seed? What were Illinois.
Joe Johnson
I think they are three three seed. But I, I, I seen, I seen Illinois play this year, and when I seen Keegan, the Wagner kid, I think it was against Purdue when he dropped. I think he dropped, like, what he dropped on them this year. I think he had a career high like 45 or 50. Uncle Ocho, really in.
Shannon Sharpe
In.
Joe Johnson
I think it was in Purdue, if I ain't mistaken. Damn, if I ain't mistaken. I think that was like, his coming out part, and everybody kind of found out about him. He had a big game this year for sure, but nah, they serious. I ain't know they bigs was so good, and you know how they chemistry was. They've been playing great basketball. Run they, they sit down, they lock down storyography. Son who can play. He get to the cup. He ain't just no shooter. I thought he was just gonna be out there shooting, but he do a little bit of everything.
Shannon Sharpe
Ooh, this right up your alley. Black King says, do you think guys, Francis Ngannou can beat Jon Jones? If they were to ever fight, I love to see that.
Chad Ochocinco
That's a fight, a very good one. I don't see Jon Jones losing this mma.
Joe Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Gotta be able to. You gotta be able to grapple and be able. And to be able. And to be able to snuff out those takedowns.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Because if he take you down, I don't know if Francis can get him up off him.
Chad Ochocinco
That's a whole lot of weight, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
And he know how. Hey, and, man, look here. John Jones was a all American wrestler. He can strike. His knees, his elbows, everything is dangerous. He can submit you.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, he. John Jones has no weakness. He has no weakness. I mean, if he.
Shannon Sharpe
If he does.
Chad Ochocinco
I mean, chat. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If the. The times that I've watched him fight.
Shannon Sharpe
Nah, I watched him. I watched him damn near his whole career.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Since he, for instance, he first beat Machida. Watched him go with Gustafson. That was a battle that might have been one of the best fights I've ever seen. To go five rounds and nobody get knocked out. Nobody gets submitted. That was a war. Go back and lock. Watch Jones Augustinson 1. But, yeah, I'm taking. I ain't taking nobody to be John until I see somebody beating. I ain't picking nobody to beat him. Kylie. One, two, three, four. Got it wrong. If it was winning that fight until he got hit and went to the ground. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? The Falcons was winning that game until.
Chad Ochocinco
Until the Patriots came back. That's a good one,
Shannon Sharpe
bro. They didn't go with two. They went. They went. What was it was. He survived. 418 in the second round. It's only three rounds. You thought. Let me ask you a question. You thought Izzy look good, Kylie. If they would have. Let's just say, for the sake of arc, let's just say old boy got the best of them this time. If they fought again and you had to bet some money, would you put your money on Izzy? You got to think about it. He done lost his last four fights. He got. He got. He got knocked out. He got some knocked out. He got lost a unanimous decision. Maybe. Maybe I'm missing something. Tay Tay. Too wavy. Y' all gotta watch Hazmat and Sean Strickland fight that's gonna be a good. Is that on. Is that on the. Is that on the.
Joe Johnson

Shannon Sharpe
The D. The D.C. car White House? I don't think so. I don't think that's on the white. So when they fighting. Huh? Yeah. Shamaya right. Hazmat may 9. Okay.
