Things to know - Harp and Skin are pretty tight as far as professional relationships go - they PodCast together rather frequently.
Followell is a gift from God.
Cooperstein is solid as well, but the dude is the prototype for Radio-face.
The guy who would have been great is Jim Spanarkel (original Mav) but he seemingly only works NCAA tourneys and calls it a year...
The truth is that what we want is Dirk as the C-A on the TV. With that said, I don't know who would be available and better than Harp right now - and that is rather frustrating.
Davis needs to be upgraded as well, but again who could do it??
I had no idea Walton used to broadcast for the Mavs. Seems like an odd fit...
also, I didn’t know Skin and Harp podcast together. That one came out of nowhere! for anyone else, like me, who didn’t know, it seems you can listen to them all here:

I only listened to like five minutes, but sounds infinitely better than their game calling...
also, agreed, Dirk would be the holy grail, but, alas, I’m sure it’s just a pipe dream... Conundrums!
