Guest host Jeff Garcia the lead Spurs writer for KENS-5 San Antonio and host of the Locked On Spurs Podcast will be joining us today. Both Jeff Garcia and Joe Garcia will discuss the NBA in-season tournament and share their thoughts, as the Spurs have several national games being televised as part of the tourney. The tournament features four teams, including the Spurs, and aims to add an extra layer of competition throughout the season. The hosts ponder the tournament's significance and whether it should have more at stake than just monetary rewards. They discuss how similar concepts in other leagues have gained popularity over time, and they debate potential ways to make the tournament more impactful, such as offering a guaranteed playoff spot to the winner.

The hosts also touch on the potential benefits of the tournament, including increased media coverage and advertising revenue. While some fans are excited about the added competition, others view it as merely a money grab. The conversation reflects on the evolving opinions of fans, drawing parallels to the NBA's play-in tournament, which was initially met with resistance but later became a fan-favorite.

We will also discuss the Dallas Cowboys finally agreeing to a deal with hold out Zack Martin. What does this now mean for the future of the Cowboys and they agreed to give Zack Martin what amounts to an eight million dollar raise as he will go from $27.5 million to now $36 million over the next two seasons.

With Jeff Garcia joining the show today you know we will be talking about all things Spurs. We have some news as Victor Wembanyama was shown to have gotten a new hair cut per teammate Jermey Sochan's Intsa stories. We will react and talk about the Spurs finally getting some love on the national level as the team will be featured on ESPN and TNT for some of their NBA in season tourney games.

UTSA announced it's inaugural inductees for the UTSA Hall Of Fame and none other than San Antonio's own Devin Brown will be enshrined amongst some of the other UTSA greats.
