So for him to come back here he literally had tears in his eyes you know tears of joy I know that PJ considers this area home from Dad's perspective what's it been like R to get this opportunity to come back home oh man it's it's been full circle for us it's been a blessing I mean wonderful people in the in the.
Dallas Frisco DFW area I mean from playing in Frisco growing up to aaou you our team Celtics and and traveling all the way around the Metroplex and playing so for him to come back here he literally had tears in his eyes you know tears of joy to come back home we've always talked about you know how how cool will it be for you to play in the.
Maths you know play for the math so um just for me to orchestrate that as his agent and then bring him back home and and he like I I told you I felt like it's more like a prodal son you know coming home you know per se so we're very excited very excited hopefully this is his last stop so he's excited when you think about getting opportunity to.
Play with a guy like Luka donic too I mean he's the kind of guy who's going to help elevate your son you've coached before you you know what that's like how much does that mean to you getting to watch his further development here with the Mavericks oh man you only you know hopefully you'll get to play with some game changers in your life you know and.
Luca is not only a MVP for the team or the conference but he's an MVP for the league candidate you know so he's a game changer I mean we haven't seen anything close to him probably since magic you know from that standpoint so for PJ to have the opportunity we're on the same age I think might be a year younger than him to kind of see their careers and now.
Kind of cross and kind of continue going forward I'm excited for both of them you know more so for PJ because now he's got all World player playing with him you know uh that can help in his vision his court sense his savviness to get to where he want to get with the ball I mean it's amazing and they're about the same size which is unbelievable yeah.
When you think about um you know how he grew up here and then getting a chance to see him in that Maverick uniform in that first game yeah what was it like sitting in your seat man it was special I mean and he'll tell you we used to come down here with one of my best friends Charles Glend Denny he used to D he had season tickets so he would drive.
Us down here and he would see the the the The Maniacs the guys that kind of heavy guys and all that stuff and PJ as a kid was so just blown away by he's like Dad look at these guys you know so for him to come down and we got to be in the tunnel and they chatting his name and doing a little song for him and so it was just it was real just to see him.
Actually playing you know for the MZ and see the maniac still there uh just the atmosphere and then Charles actually came and got to be at his first game so it was really full circle for us to see that we're very excited as a family yeah and then the other thing is listen Daniel and PJ coming at the same time you heard that reception right what.
What went through your mind you know when they gave him that great Ovation man I was standing up and I was just you know lucky and and thankful that the that the people here in Dallas really understood what they were getting with Daniel and and PJ and PJ was playing against Dan for years since a you know from Arkansas and Kentucky they've been.
Going at each other so uh so they know each other so for them to come in at the same time have a a connection know each other been playing against each other since they were in aou it was pretty good and then we felt good that Dallas actually stood up and and and they were thankful and and wanted him to be here you know you always want to be in a.

Excited and stuff so just to have that kind of breath of fresh air you know we're pretty excited especially you know they're trying to win they trying to get to that next step in the playoffs so you L me where I was going to go yeah how good can this thing be I mean you have a sense yeah when the two players that they added with with Daniel you know.
Being a rim Runner you know coming off the bench bringing energy blocking shots dunking and being that presence rebounding offensive rebounding I mean that's I don't know if they had anybody with that kind of energy in a while you know um and then you got PJ that can defend the one through the five uh and he can shoot he can dribble he can pass.
Kind of that allaround player that glue guy that kind of fit in so we're excited I mean then you got two Allstars you know out there so they got to double them then somebody's going to be open now you got a a nice bench with Hardy and stuff like that so it's it's amazing how far they can go I mean it's it's kind of scary you know so just kind of.
Sitting back putting the seat belt on and and and waiting on the ride you know to see where this thing goes
this dude knows ball
Man… A total lot of fellows on the Mavs have vast and motivating stories within the support of them coming to play for the Mavs and having a accurate drive. Exum's vendetta return to the NBA, Kyrie going in his media-free peace zone after a in point of fact lengthy time, PJ actually coming dwelling, Gaff sooner or later appealing on a winning team, Derrick taking half in admire he needs and at final getting on the team he's been aiming for years, D Dwell being molded into Tyson Chandler 2.0 after his mother beat most cancers… Would likely diagram an infinite doc film within the event that they acquire that ring 😂
P.J. washington is contributing nearly 0 on offense, so shriek his protection has changed your team to diagram your self genuinely feel larger. That alternate is more of a metal with each and every sport. Pleasure doing alternate with you, my guy. Trade a smarter, more consistent P.J. Washington (Grant Williams) and a high 2 stable 2027 recall for P.J. yall are lucky, Gafford is balling out “so laborious” kinda. This alternate time restrict would've been cheeks for yall if not. I realize Grant wasn't taking half in as successfully for yall, however I procure it's attributable to the vibe of stars admire Kyrie and others(also the clarification for Washington's offensive decline imo). Grant Williams is assist dwelling and taking half in larger than ever. You all can take care of the alternate all you desire. Honest spend the DG alternate recall to melt the blow.I’m hoping 2027 is a corrupt 300 and sixty five days for yall, and we acquire the 3rd recall. That’s now a chance, haha.Ggs and Goodluck. I be triumphant in desire the most arresting for P.J. once a hornet, repeatedly a hornet.
